Yesterday found out my coworkers son going away to college in the Panhandle of Texas was notified and asked if there was any problem with his soon-to-be roommate being transgender (biological female in a men's dorm). Thankfully the University allowed the son to opt for other arrangements and was respectful of his and his parents religious beliefs and wishes. This is in the reddest part of the state of Texas we are talking about. I am a stranger in my own country and state. I've even started to consider leaving paid employment because I just cannot, in good conscience continue to send my tax dollars to the fraud and corruption that is our government. The one thing they are supposed to do is uphold the Constitution fairly and protect our borders from invasion, both of which they are actively and demonstrably failing at in epic form. How can you continue to give your tax dollars to support corruption?
In a JCPenney store in South Dakota the other day, I heard a mother and daughter talking in English. That's it. Every other customer group was speaking some other language. We are not anywhere near the southern border, and we have miserably brutal winters, so I have to wonder what draws these folks who have no cultural, historical, geographical, or economic ties to this area.
Immigrational Regional Equity; they get red carpet welcomes. If we didn't have a mass of working immigrants in CO then the Yuppy-Democrat Elitist Progressives wouldn't get any work done on their HOA covenanted homes, or have anyone to advocate for and craft policy toward except drug addicted slothful mal-educated types
I just had this conversation with someone who runs a cleaning service
She said the young people coming here have no desire to work hard- they’re told they can come here and make huge money- doing very little. She thinks that’s why they’re coming.
Well, housecleaning is hard physical work and she can’t keep the young girls. She said she’s lost more girls than she can count to…dance/strip clubs!
Because they can work fewer hours and make more money … and maybe catch a man in the process
We live 60 miles from NYC. When we watch the news, EVERY PERSON they interview has an accent and/or can barely speak English! WTH? Do they deliberately stay away from people who are fluent in English, or is this done to prove that NYC is still a melting pot? One would think that everyone who lives in or around NYC is a foreigner. Happens after every incident where they interview the people who live in those neighborhoods....What’s the point?
I lived outside London for several years,Same thing happened there when they started the European Union. I was often asked by American visitors where all the British people were.
I remember London in 1980 where despite some foreigners, it was still primarily ethnically English. Fast forward to 97 and it was a different city with only the architecture reminding you of where you were
I really hate that 😡 I am not from the South but the deliberate and gleeful stereotyping of people from that part of the country as backward, ignorant hicks really burns me up 🤬
oh yeah, Texas? The south had very find social education and culture. Craft making, quilting, canning, preserves, garden club, women's bible study. The South is for roses, dogwood and peaches!
Oh I definitely know that! Many very fine thinkers from the South! I also love the variety of accents in this or any other country, it gives a richness and texture to speech that I appreciate so much!!
And I really like your parenthetical comment, it is so true, and I’ve come to really despise those who mock the people they consider beneath them, like those toothless and/or illiterates you mentioned. They might not be well read or articulate or what most would consider attractive, but many of those people have good sense and hard won wisdom earned from life experiences. Far worse are the so-called educated who can’t even think for themselves but just parrot what others say.
Turn OFF THE NEWS!! It’s depressing! We have to stay positive and quit watching lies on TV!!! Go listen to independent journalism. There are hundreds of channels on Rumble. Go find FCB. Gene Decode. He is so smart! Go learn something new! Go outside barefoot and feel the Earth.
They are assigned to certain areas to turn them blue. Is your state one of the 15 giving them driver's licenses which automatically registers them to vote, or like Houston Texas, they are paid a universal basic income (Uplift Harris) or your local Catholic Charities has sponsored them into your town.
(Uplift Harris) is supplying a universal basic income? I am intimately aware with a certain Houston religious group funding healthcare clinics (medical and dental) where no and low cost healthcare is provided to "refugees" and you cannot imagine the Texas Code of Rules and Regulations along with the U.S. Code that has been written to provide everything a person needs to live a wonderful and 100% parasitic life in ease and comfort. I will definitely investigate Uplift Houston and thank you for that information.
Regarding auto-voter registration: Texas is not one of the states that allows non-citizens to possess a driver's license, that should be illegal; as well should be automatically registering to vote. Those 2 practices when combined would constitute direct governmental fraud, election meddling, true insurrection. Not an insurrection from the Uniparty war room, who now holds persons in jail as domestic terrorists for the crime of attending a peaceful protest of an obviously stolen Presidential Election.
Nothing Dakota and Michigan are two of the states offer Drivers Licenses to Non Citizens. UpLift Harris is in Harris county and working directly with Catholic Charities and Houston Interfaith Ministries giving them phones and paying them on apps. They get state and local benefits like about their age to get into school
Ilhan Omar just posted on her twitter account yesterday that "every American should have a guaranteed income to meet their basic needs like food, healthcare and housing" which means to me she thinks the taxpayer should fund the lives of every single deadbeat in the US. She doesn't seem to care if they have clothing. This is the evil and more-than-ignorant mentality we are up against.
I heard a talk by a local police dept spokesman, and he kept extolling the virtues of Lutheran Social Services (https://lsssd.org - separate entity from the church) in bringing in and acclimating immigrants. They receive government grants to do this.
On the one hand, as Christians, we're called to care for the orphan, widow and the needy. On the other hand, does that mean if our government brings all the widows, orphans and needy and drops them on our doorstep, we're required to care for them all? How is that right? Are these people not the least bit responsible for their own lives? Not caring for them could lead to their death and I believe that man is made in the image of God and therefore worthy of care. But I don't understand how the orphans, widows and needy breaking the law makes them my responsibility. Or any other Christian's responsibility.
Before the government crammed all the orphans, widows and needy down our throats, churches used to send out groups of missionaries to help the orphans, widows and needy in their own lands. I guess that's just not good enough anymore.
it's massive business, streamlined and well-enacted Globally into all western countries; Unaccompanied Minors etc etc (fleeing Climate Change, persecutions, looking for "family" in the country they are transported to. This is UN top-down intentional demographic relocations for millions
Honestly, that shocks me that Lutheran Social services is completely divorced from the Lutheran Church. Was it ever associated? My husband is Lutheran and we don't attend due to, now it appears, our false belief that they are instrumental in support of lawless border and the liberal transexual agenda. Were we wrong?
The churches are 100% responsible for the MAP pedo agenda and Im in shock at how many Christians didn't hold their leaders accountable to stop this madness 50 years ago. If people stop giving to the church when all the pedo stuff came out, I don't think they would have done this with the trans movement
IMHO, yes, you are wrong. You go to church to hear the word of God...to grow closer to him. The churches do not send people here, they help those who are here because they are God’s children. Our government is the problem and these people crossing are pawns in a bigger game...though I do believe that there is a lot of evil people who intend harm crossing too.
I have noticed that for several years the high number of people speaking in another non-english language in my N GA area. In fact, at the farmers market there was a lady next to me, looked mid to upper class, speaking just a little English, and used medicaid coins to buy fresh basil. I thought, wow, where is she from and why is she receiving Medicaid assistance?
I couldn’t see them closely enough but they really looked more like paper wood coins. The vendor I commonly see on Saturdays at the market, I asked him what they were after she left as I was the next customer after her. He told me. So I don’t know the terms and called it Medicaid, meaning govt assistance to very poor folks.
Very odd. Never heard of them... Was in line at Publix the other day and watched as an older woman used FIVE different govt issue credit/cash cards to pay for her groceries... The cashier rolled her eyes as the woman kept pulling them out... a $343 grocery bill...
I wonder if that is why they are letting in hordes of ppl for other countries. They need assistance, typically poorer, and then at some point they will all be transferred onto the CBDC.
I understand where you are coming from and agree with your take for the most part, just a word of caution on making assumptions—more and more people are choosing to raise their children to be bilingual and may just be speaking in their “family”/minority language. This is my case and the case of several of my family and friends. But we also make sure our kids know English (actually unless you segregate yourself in a specific community, it’s almost impossible for them not to, in fact full and balanced bilingualism is very difficult to achieve). I am sure people in stores hearing me speak to my kids in another language have often thought we were non English speaking recent immigrants, when that is completely not the case.
It’s certainly more effective than most school language classes 😑 I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve heard some variation of “I took x number of years of y language and all I remember is: [some random phrase]”
You have Republican Governor, Senators, and Representative, and you wonder what draws these folks to your state? Its the Demoncrats that run the Federal Government what want to ensure they stay in power by diluting your vote base
I am in central Florida so not near Miami which I would expect, it's either rednecks or non English speaking people. I literally have to ask someone if they speak English if they don't have a baseball cap and jeans on. I lived in England for 20 years and probably 60% were non English. Everyone spoke English. What annoys me is how they expect services to speak to them in their language, so you can't get a job unless you are bilingual locally - they need to be forced somehow to learn English. This is bad for our schools and workplaces
That is so awful! Glad they warned you ahead of time! I have 2 years before our oldest graduates and the thought is terrifying. I really am not sure I want him to attend college. So much needless drama and forced indoctrination...he has never attended a public school and I am not sure I want him start at age 18.
He loves history and is super smart but a practical trade is always safe. He actually wants to be a pilot and we had thought about the Air Force academy (since his grandfather was there) but not now! I can’t trust our government to protect my son and not force him to fight in a needless war!
History is great if it actually true. My daughter just graduated and going to a trade school. She can work for a while and then start her own business rather than be indoctrinated and stuck in an unhealthy job with loads of college debt. My oldest went to 4 yrs of college and is not even using her degree because it is in the medical field.
Many majors are sponsoring young aspiring pilots in flight academies right now to deal with the already-bad-and-only-going-to-get worse ATP shortage. Another option is to get a four year degree in an aeronautical field at one of the schools (Embry-Riddle in FL, Purdue in IN, or U. of North Dakota are the big three in this area) where alongside your degree you are trained up through commercial multi-engine/CFI/CFII and then get into the pipeline to acquire your 1500 hours before you can jump to a major. There are plenty of ways to become an airline pilot that don't require you to get anywhere near Colorado Springs.
Today a college education is a waste of $$$$$. Send him to a trade school, and he will earn a lot more $$$$ and his mind will be free of all the junk and indoctrination. Besides, a college education is already out of the economic budget of the middle class. He will have a great future.
Over the past year my young ‘yard guy’ has gotten more work than he can handle, has hired assistants and is struggling with whether to keep it small or let it grow. And he won’t do anything but mow, blow and go.
Any service providers who are halfway reliable, decent and honest can make a killing with a lawn mower around here.
Yes!! I have 6 kids that i homeschool...my daughter turns 18 in Sept. She's done private public and is now homeschooling...she's going to get her reg. Behavior tech. Cert. And look at other trades ...I want my 5 boys each to just pick a trade, I could just send them all out as young adults as a family fleet of useful services instead of wasting their lives in public university 😀
they're coming after trade schools; ColorFakeO Dept. of Regulations pushing DIE on the trades now Governor Pole-Licks is hard to push his dirty business into our business,
And, I have not gotten the impression that Hillsdale is necessarily accommodating to our kids with “quirks” whose learning styles don’t fit the Classical model of education.
Don’t get me wrong - it seems to be a great school! But it cannot possibly serve alllll the kids who need a quality, truly traditional (classical, but not in the Classical way) college education.
Copernicus is right. The demand for Hillsdale has increased tremendously since Covid. My daughter just graduated and she said that the school's leadership really doesn't want to increase the size much more because than what makes Hilldale, Hillsdale will be compromised.
Regarding quirky students: my oldest son also graduated from Hillsdale, Copernicus and he is clearly on the ASD spectrum (I would say high-functioning/Asperger's). I found the staff, students and professors to be very caring and tolerant of his many verbal and physical tics and his tendency to perseverate on ideas. But while at Hillsdale he was highly involved in the Catholic group, orchestra, honors program and music fraternity. Though the competition to get in is only going to get more intense, it is definitely worth consideration.
We were in a rigorous private classical model elementary school. Which we loved, until we didn’t. The flexibility and willingness to accommodate was non-existent. We were told the child just needed to stop complaining and do the work like everyone else was doing. 😡
Copywork as a way of learning penmanship and grammar and such is great. Unless you have a writing disability and still can’t remember how to form letters, for instance. (In college obviously they’ll be typing, but even typing can be a challenge for some of these kids.). Our school didn’t see it that way.
I can attest to the inflexibility at classic ed schools. It was a great place, but the work load was a nightmare for me to ensure my child got accomodations. It really depended on the teacher and was not cut and dry so the expectations were unclear. Expectations in teaching is most important for student success.
I had my youngest child in a rigorous classical school and agree with you that they can be inflexible. Having differences in processing and learning styles shouldn't be a barrier to attending a classical school, but leadership in these settings think they can just "will" kids to a certain level of performance. I definitely understand what you are saying. I would ask to speak to someone at Hillsdale regarding your specific concerns. I do know that they have many homeschool students at Hillsdale.
The classical school model isn’t for every child. The curriculum is set, the work is rigorous and in our classical and Christian school, they made that clear in the first prospective parent meeting. They really can’t accommodate children with learning disabilities. In recent years, a teacher from that school started an alternative Christian school here, geared especially to those children with learning or emotional disabilities!
….We finally left the C&C school after our two girls finished the 8th & tenth grades because the school culture was sick — esp. in the upper grades. Homeschooled for a year & then entered them in another Christian high school here, which lacked the order & academic rigor, but truly made up for it in Christian love, service; they encouraged charity, maturity and creativity. Interestingly, many of their classmates were also fellow refugees they’d known from years past at the C&C sch. — including their favorite teacher & her kids.
But it all depends on those at the top!! (Both girls were nat. merit scholars, btw — I attribute that to their first years at the classical school. Those last HS years were INVALUABLE, though!).
Yes, I know of a good student who applied to Hillsdale and didn't get accepted. We need more good colleges. Amazing the colleges fall all over themselves trying to be more woke at a time when enrollment has dropped off a cliff, while colleges not doing that have more students applying than ever! Not too smart.
My daughter, who has learning disabilities, just graduated from Spring Arbor University in Michigan. It is a Christian school and has a very caring staff that deals with a lot of kids who need accommodations. It is not even close to the caliber of Hillsdale (I had two kids who went to Hillsdale), but it is a good conservative school, and I highly recommend it.
Wisconsin Lutheran College ( WLC) is in Wisconsin and is a Great faith based College with high academic achievements!!!! Michael Knolls was invited to give a lecture. I have 4 graduates 🎓 from there in our family. Plus my Son in law is an Organic Chemistry professor. Check it out ☺️✝️❤️
If they take/accept govt money they are forced to run their school the same exact way as every other college and university that take govt money. Hillsdale doesn't take govt money.... And, that is a HUGE difference.
Aww, yes! WLC was where I learned to truly live my faith, and I’ll always be grateful. I never had Dr. Glaeske in class, but I liked the guy. I’m pretty sure Angela was there when I was. Though I don’t recommend going into debt to go there, it’s an excellent institution.
Since quite a few comments in this thread brought up their own searches for a good school for their children, I thought I’d share a stack from someone I read here. I found this young man’s tale of his search for a decent college very inspirational. He’s very methodical and shares a lot of details about his criteria in looking for a Christian education.
No idea what faith banner he flies under, there were some schools he ruled out because he felt he’d be somewhat uncomfortable with their doctrine and practices personally. But he was very respectful in his approach. Hope it’s helpful to someone else.
Our youngest just graduated from Mid America Christian University in OKC. As traditional Catholics (Latin Mass) we were at first a little concerned about her being indoctrinated with protestantism.
But having her on a campus where the students, the teachers and the administration were all publicly-declared and practicing Christians was a blessing. Although I'm sure some of the students were LGBTQ, it wasn't publicly tolerated.
There's a few good private schools out there. Large public universities can possibly be sorta safe if he steers clear of liberal arts classes and focuses on "hard" subjects like science, nursing, etc. and lives at home. It's risky though.
Our daughter got her 5th and 6th year of college there (changed majors a couple of times, getting her BA from FSU. She loved it and got extra credit and paid for working at Florida School for the Deaf and Blind. She will be starting her 27th year working with the Deaf (political correct again- it was Hearing Impaired before) in the school system. Their adoption of a 2 year old boy from Chine who was born with no ears has given us a love for that school and FSDB. Our China baby is now living at FSDB, coming home on weekends. Public school offered nothing for the special needs students in most areas, no matter how hard the supervisors of the schools try. Teachers have too much non-educational duties by dealing with students on meds, no breakfast (yes, it’s free, but the kids can’t walk to school alone), not being there and on and on...Now her first born starts teaching 3rd grade in as Orange City school. Many students blessed by these two God loving, giving souls. So, I consider Flagler College a conservative, caring place to learn academically and give back lovingly.
I don't blame you and I have regrets about my own even as they taught me all that malthusian bs and zero real history. Real courses well vetted would be better.
Fortunately, my son wants to go to the college 10 miles away so he can live at home. He still thinks he wants to live on campus and it is one of the more conservative campuses but we had a heart to heart about what he might face living in a dorm these days. I already told him that we will know and choose his roommate or it won't happen. I'd be more worried about a trans living in a girl's dorm but I told him that I can't control how many people living nearby might be gay couples or such and who knows what he might walk in on in the bathroom (gay or straight), or drugs, etc and does he really want to live like that? I have a friend whose daughter avoided high school bathrooms because she was scared she'd walk in on someone having sex. I've already told him that I'm not paying for on-campus housing. I'm praying he chooses the at home option especially since I recently learned it is a minimum of $14k to live on that campus and that is a colossal waste of money when home is free and a much better option.
My son chose to attend in-state college at a campus 90 miles away vs. at a campus in our city. He had full scholarships for his books and tuition. If he'd chosen the college in our city and lived at home there would have been 0 cost for dorm and meal plan. We told him that he would have to pay us back 30% of whatever we had to cover for his room and board. We had him sign a contract.
I'm going with the car option. If he lives at home, I'll use the $14k to buy him a car. If he lives on campus, he can pay the $14k to live on campus and also buy himself a car.
At least they had the decency to warn you ahead of time, but it never should be an issue in the first place. No, I would not want to room with an alphabet person - who knows how stable they are mentally? That's not meant as an insult - bad things happen when you mess with human hormones.
When my son enrolled 7 yrs ago at Oregon State he was late and joined in for the winter term. When he filled out his dorm paperwork they asked a question he didn’t understand at the time (7 yrs ago right?). Because of that question and he was late to enroll and there wasn’t room left anywhere else they placed him in a transgender dorm full of these trans kids! It was awful!!! The place was crawling with very weird, gay, lesbian and trans kids. His roommate ended up “liking” him and it was a dude. 🤮 My poor son. The stories he told us about people undressing in front of each other like it was no big deal, male and female…..ugh. Luckily he found the one bathroom that was for private use and that private bathroom became his best friend! He struggled through that and then was able to get the he$$ out of there and we helped get him an apartment with a normal roommate. And this was 7 years ago before it was the new thing to be transwhatever. 🤦🏼♀️
Oh and one of the ones who he didn’t know if it was a boy or girl asked about his tattoo which is of Jesus….when he told that person what it was he/she/it growled at him. 😂
It was creepy. And he tried to get moved but there was no other rooms available. It was back before it is like it is now but I still shake my head that we let him stay in there. I don’t know what in the world we were thinking! He didn’t spend a lot of time in his dorm. If it were NOW, no way. He’s be outta there.
Sometimes I feel like when I am caught by surprise by something so extreme, I just don’t know what to do or to think at first. Maybe that was your case, it was such a shock and so outlandishly extreme that it made you kind of “freeze.”
Ya sort of. It just wasn’t so big back then a short 7 years ago. Trans whatever weren’t demanding to be seen and catered to back then. They were just there. And of course there was the whole “tolerance” thing. We were shocked there was even a dorm for them. Wait! What? Transgender dorm? What is that? How did this happen? Mostly a bit confused it was a real thing happening.
wow, yes demons. So this is a demon infested place now no doubt!. Luckily the student I speak of is going on a full scholarship so the money is not a waste. I'm out in the deadlands of Texas., deep west texas where there is not even most medical specialists for a good 40 miles or more. I had no idea this was really getting so ingrained as I have been keeping my head down all these good long 7 years now.
Tradesmen will be in more demand than ever....college is only necessary if the desire is to be a professional and go on for advanced degrees! Hair dressers make twice as much as teachers and have total autonomy!
Former career counselor in higher ed here: please seek career guidance from a qualified professional for your HS aged children. Should be a free service at a local college and time well-spent before deciding where those education dollars are to go.
Just a FYI...we don’t ‘give our taxes’...it is not a voluntary action...it is a ‘requirement’ and ‘against the law’ to not pay them... but as they stand today, these ‘taxes’ are truly ‘taxation without representation’ as our government no longer represents ‘the will of the people’ (I believe that is why The Revolutionary War was fought and Our Country was created!)
It has stopped honey! We are getting every dime back! I am right there with you on not working on the books anymore! Open your own business. So many ideas to what you can do depending on interests. Do something you Love! It’s all about bartering with neighbors or Farmers. We will trade for everything and not even need their rotten filthy money!!
The Constitution is "outdated" according to the criminals who are "in charge" of our Executive Branch for decades. They were "elected"--but who knows really how SECURE our elections have been for decades? I don't believe in "election integrity" anymore! GOD...SAVE US FROM OUR "LEADERS".
I am checking into becoming an "expat" in a country that is closely aligned with the USA for many years. I won't name it right now--still in the investigatory stages. Several business connections of mine have visited there several times and were enthralled with it. One of my former clients moved there for his retirement years as it is way more affordable than being retired here in the USA--plus the natives speak English as well as Spanish and they enjoy expat Americanos! It is an Hispanic country--so wish me well, friends! The main religion is Catholic--I have been an independent, evangelical Christian for most of my life--so I should be just fine--faith wise.
As someone with a doctorate (dds?) you might be enmeshed in system think, through indoctrination, no fault of your own. If you are open and choose to think outside the box, outside the indoctrination, to expand your thinking into what is actually true vs what you've been taught all your life (I was there, former hygienist in fact, kept putting off going back to dental school and actually couldn't be happier, but have had my eyes opened so again no fault, no foul), on the subject of taxes I have a book that will make you uncomfortable as you come to understand the truth. Cracking the Code: The Fascinating Truth About Taxation in America by Peter Eric Hendrickson. While he is not a lawyer, the legal scholarship in this book is top notch, irrefutable. I gave a copy to a retired federal law clerk (lawyer that worked for +25 years for a federal judge as a clerk, a coveted position in lawyer land, one that involves heavy research the judge/s themselves don't have the time to do while they are hearing cases) and his response after having skimmed -his word, a researcher skill- the book was, "I see his [author's] argument," which he did not dispute. He allowed he would have to go back to read thoroughly.
The truth is that most Americans do not have a federal income tax liability. It takes cojones to file a truthful return after which one should expect to get pushback from the big bully agency. But the truth is in 'their' code, U.S.C. Title 26. It is obfuscated beyond belief. Legalese. And once you know the truth and act according to the law 'their' (agency) tactics become obvious.
The book is *not* widely available. You might find it at online retailers but the price is liable to be exorbitant. You won't find it at brick and mortar locations. Forget the big retail outlets. Even my local independent bookseller told me it was out of print. Not true. I think it's in its 17th printing. (Suggesting the author does short runs, not hundreds of thousands of copies.) You must go to the author's website:
Info there for purchasing. Be forewarned there is no online payment portal. I suspect this has to do with the fact that the author has been targeted by the government to be made an example of. His fortitude to keep fighting the good fight is beyond admirable. To purchase you must put payment in a stamped envelope. I have ordered at least 4 times, all pre-pandemic. Excellent turn around time, better than expected. I recommended in the past year to someone who purchased and customer service/turn around experience was the same. The website is full of examples (the Bulletin Board) of regular folks who have filed truthful returns and gotten back $$ that they did not owe, typically everything they have paid in outside of their true liability (which is zero).
Myself, when I read the book I experienced major cognitive dissonance. My cells rebelled, they had been so programmed for a lifetime. I "fact checked" a dozen or so references, which all checked out, which exercise was tedious to say the least, tiring probably because I was already in that mental state of cognitive dissonance. I gave the benefit of the doubt on the rest, of which there are dozens if not >100. I didn't count.
Highly recommend. I can pretty safely say you don't have a federal income tax liability. If you don't want to "continue to give your tax dollars to support corruption" (I agree, corruption is baked in to that sector: read Whitney Webb's One Nation Under Blackmail) you owe it to yourself to become informed. I hope something here is helpful to you on your journey. Blessings.
This is the usual nutball tax protester theories about "income." There are ZERO actual tax attorneys or courts who will put up with these fringe theories.
Try it and you may end up in federal prison. Notorious tax protester Irwin Schiff pushed this same theory as to what constitutes "income" and died in prison for his idiocy.
yeah Elaine Brown ended up in federal prison for trying to not pay taxes. End up in prison and lose your license. Everyone knows the tax code says you don't have to pay taxes but the system doesn't care. Look at Joe Biden and Hunter flaunting their corruption graft and lucre. You think they are going to get any kind of justice? No. the system is now being helped by A.I. A.I. is progressing to the point they can read your mind with a cell phone and also place thoughts in your consciousness. I know it sounds completely made up. Look it up. It's on Quora. It's happening everywhere and the big Universityy research dept. are admitting it.
I personally know people that don't pay federal income tax. So much for me since I'm not at liberty to reveal names. I'm just a screwball nut job anonymous nobody on the internet. Ah well.
I agree that both nanotech and subliminal whatever-they're-blasting-us-with are a frightening proposition. Glad I'm not a spring chicken. Less earthtime left to have to deal with the worst of what they have planned. Though I'm sure that in the end God wins. I have no clue on the timeline. The trick, imho, is not caving to fear. It hovers, threatening, but I'm goofy enough (you already knew that) to name it, call it out and keep it at bay 98% of the time. Makes for a better life experience. ~The Cockeyed Optimist
Not true @Fred Bennett. You must do your homework. No argument here is based on the Constitution. That's precisely the tack/"nutball protestor theories about 'income' " that gets people into trouble. The law applied is all from the code, U.S.C. Title 26, which is completely separate from the Constitution. The code was "written by" the IRS (like laws are written by drug companies or insurance companies). It is their code. Are you aware that the code has a definition of "includes" and "including"? Do you know what the definition of "includes" and/or "including" is? You probably do. Most people can come up with a reasonable definition off the top of their head, one that would compare fairly to a dictionary definition. There is a common meaning in the English language. Why is there a definition of "includes" and "including" in the code? Do they assume we're stupid? (Well, ok, I grant that could be argued. Ugh. 🙄) The only reasonable answer is because there is a different / special legal meaning within the code. And indeed there is. Under certain circumstances the terms (new legal terms created by the code, NOT words: read again, terms, legal terms, *not* words) "includes" and "including" have a meaning quite different from the common meaning. Look at §7701(c), speaking of obfuscating legalese. If you can't determine on your own what the heck is meant by the legalese, the book Cracking the Code is extremely helpful getting around the obfuscation. Truly. I don't mind arguing intelligently, no ad hominems (of which "nutball tax protester" is one), no emotional outbursts, but you must become informed first. We have to start with the same knowledge base, even if you believe it to be false and are prepared to demonstrate evidence of its incorrectness. All due respect. Most anybody here reading Jeff Childers has a critically thinking mind. I suspect you are very much one of that crowd. This is a different area of investigation and, respectfully, you must dig in and learn before you reflexively respond to what you have seen in the past in the way of folks who have argued the Constitution with regard to tax law. Particularly, in case you are unaware(?) of the 1871 creation of the DC corporation which has nothing to do with the 1780s Constitution, and under which U.S.C. Title 26 was crafted. I encourage you to dig in. The recommended book is scholarly. If you have no scholarship with regard to the code, check it out, and feel free to fact check every single reference. When you bring evidence to rebut, I will sit and listen to your arguments. Until then, please refrain from using a broad brush to paint anyone informed about the code with disparaging characterizations. Thank you for your attention.
Concerning the chef. Perhaps the jabs, but I'm leaning more towards an Arkanside. Cleaning up loose ends. Note that many of the Clintons Arkansides weren't enemies, but people who knew too much. Recall 4 former bodyguards of Clinton's were killed at Waco, just one example. Of many. And knowing Mr. Obama's proclivities, well.....
Someone commented that the Clinton's chef also drowned in 2015 and that this chef did not swim and was out alone, in the dark without a life jacket. Never know what to believe any longer or if it is even worth trying.
That begs the 2nd question. Why did the third building fall when only two airplanes hit one building each?
Which again begs a 3rd question. Who were the tenants in that mysterious 3rd building that was reported to have fallen five times that day before it actually fell at 5:24PM.
At the time, 9/11/2001, I had almost 24 years experience as a full-time firefighter with considerable training and experience in building construction and why buildings catastrophically fail. I was not surprised when the three buildings fell. This summer an I-95 bridge collapsed in Philadelphia due to a fire. The bridge was constructed of steel and concrete, two substances generally considered by the general populace to be unaffected by fire. The bridge collapse was also predicable and no surprise. Predictable incidents occurring about the same time are co-incidents.
Building 7 had limited damage. So how did it fall, pancake style, just like tower 1 and 2? It takes weeks to install demolition charges in a 47 floor structure like that.
More than 90% of the structural steel in the WTC towers was never exposed to any fire or structurally compromised in any way. Every fireman or structural engineer on the planet should question those collapses, which all three defy the laws of physics.
“Chef Campbell’s Instagram page, hashtagged “#fitchef,” includes clips of his workouts, including Olympic swimming — for times. In his videos, Tafari practices backstroke and freestyle, records a 40-minute-long swim workout with his Apple watch, and benches an impressive 315 pounds. Ironically, from social media posts it appears Tafari accomplished a long-standing goal of becoming a confident swimmer around five years ago.”
Apparently he could swim quite well, unless something else was going on.
I say an expert swimmer in 8 ft of water could have recovered. He was probably gone when he fell from the paddle board. Dr. Dan Stock said that we would see many deaths as a
Result of Vax injury. Hard to listen to that then, and even harder to see it happening. IMHO
According to Dr. G Medical Examiner, he'd need to have water in his lungs to have drowned. Doubt they'll find that. Of course heart attack, ABV, is a real possibility.
I've learned so much from Dr G. She just started in syndication on one of my local channels so I only recently saw her show (no cable for years). I wonder what she'd say about what's been going on.
In my small community we have an uptick in head on car collisions happening. Witnesses say all of a sudden the car veers into oncoming traffic with no warning. Several of the drivers have been younger people not older people. I am beginning to wonder if the blood clot induced heart attacks are happening out on the highways. Watch for frequency of strange accidents.
I thought about that possibility happening to a couple of people in Hollywood. Both alleged to have had sudden car crashes. Anne Heche (not sure of spelling) and Leslie Jordan.
So I searched “arkanside” on Brave and drew only references to Arkansas. I assume that “arkanside” is just a reference to the Clintons’ way of dealing w problem people, with a nod to Bill’s Arkansas origins.
Otherwise, help me out if I am getting it wrong. 😬
Yeah... during COVID, DDG basically said "we promise to protect your privacy, but we're also going to 'protect' you from misinformation in search results".
Arkancide has become a generic reference to a long list of Clinton associates who have died under somewhat mysterious circumstances. Such as being declared suicide with two bullet holes in the back of the head. That’s a true story.
It used to be 43, I checked again recently and its up to 56. Explains a lot of behavior by public servants, they are literally told they and their families will be killed if they don't go along. I wonder what they have on Kevin McCarthy?
I agree with the Arkancide theory. It's time to clean up any mess (witness) to Michael Oblama 'issues' that would interfere with 'his' possible presidential run in '24. Like Joan Rivers said, "everybody knows he's a tranny." I believe she suffered from Arkancide as well.
We’ll never be told the the truth, truth is whatever spin they want to put on it. Then they tie it up in a nice little package, and figure we’re all just a bunch of bugwits who’ll believe everything we’re told. If this is either jab or house cleaning related I don’t think they’ll lose any sleep over it. Human life means nothing to some people!
Yes, indeed. The green revolution in particular. Victoria "Fuck the EU! We want Yatsieniuk!" Nuland wasn't alone planing the Maidan thing either. Her boss Killary got her hands dirty there too.
"Michael and I" Who in the world is the Michael he is speaking of? Even if the transcript he was reading from may have said "Michael" any husband knows they had better use the correct pronunciation of his wife. Weird!
This guy was probably blackmailing good ole Barry--and they rubbed him out--he did NOT "drown"! He could have had a SADS death that looked like drowning, of course!
“Take care, brethren, that there not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God. But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called ‘Today,’ so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our assurance firm until the end[.]”
Yep. And encourage one another to read God's word for us! Staying in His Word and talking with Him daily coupled with encouraging each other to hold fast to His promise keeps His own from ever falling away. What a blessing!
My son got an excellent education in molecular biology/botany at OSU. Sadly it came with a unhealthy dose of liberalism, followed by marriage to a very liberal women; both are atheists and when COVID hit we parted ways. I miss my grand girls and pray someday they will develop their own values and want to have a relationship with me. God works in mysterious ways and I never give up🙏 Trade School, Hillsdale College or a good Christian College thar is fully vetted!
Sondy As soon as I post I am praying you son, his wife and their children find their way to the ever lasting hope and assurance in Christ. He can move mountains. He made all things in existence. He hears our prayers. Never give up!!
My husband and I were just discussing that in the car today. I hope your son looks at human biology and the miracle of his children and sees the creator in their complexity, simplicity and beauty. Life is truly a miracle.
My son and his wife are expecting in October. Their Dr has suggested anyone around the infant should take the flu vax. I'm a DMD so have a good understanding of our immune system and have read and resesrched vaccines widely. I'm opposed to taking the flu vax but may have to take a chance to be around my granddaughter. Thoughts?
There is an average of 80% chance it will be for the wrong strain of flu. There is a 100% chance it is not good for you and may make you more vulnerable to flu. You may experience a bad reaction to a useless vaccine. WHY would you do it? You are opposed to it. You have more care for that child than the pediatrician. Talk to your adult children and reassure then John. In love. I hope your children are courageous and protect their baby from... them.
Lie. The flu vax doesn't prevent flu anyway. I know of several people who got it last season who had taken the flu vax. They got as sick as everyone else exposed.
I didn’t cave to that pressure with COVID, but it is a very individual choice. I had had a blood clot and PE after a surgery. Was not willing to risk it. I would be darn sure it doesn’t include the COVID shot,too. I had always gotten a flu shot but never again. My trust is gone.
Jeff, with regard to Musk changing Twitter's name to 'X' from your article yesterday, there are a lot of interpretations springing from Nimrod to Osirus, but the following is by far the closest one to the truth in my opinion:
The 'X' stands for combining angel and human DNA to reach godhood. It is straight out of the Book of Enoch and has to do with fallen angels and the Nephalim. It does not bode well. Everyone should take the time and watch this:
I really cannot emphasize enough how important it is to watch and share that ^ video. It is crucially important information which exposes what we are facing.
When the devil offered the world to Jesus, Jesus did not doubt that the world was his to give: Matthew 4:8 Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.”
JEEZ! Has to be demon possessed or on antipsychotics. Now that I learned Sanpaku eyes I see it everywhere. Take a look at Adam Schiff. Many other psychopaths in Congress.
Japanese call it SANPAKU eyes and believe it is a marker of psychopath or drug addict. In this case though I believe it is demonic possession!. Yes, Jesus didn't refute Satan's ability to give him the world. I believe the Bible says "be in the world and not of it". So we continue to pray and with Jeff Childers help we get to laugh at the absurdity of it. So happy I found Covid and Coffee. Jeff Childers you deserve a break! Happy vacation.
While I do believe anything these days, I also know that video ( and voice) is easily altered. So I guess I believe everything and nothing at the same time.
Does anyone remember Biden’s black hole eyes during his few campaign speeches? It was so creepy. Maybe it was drugs which enlarged his pupils or maybe he was showing the demonic inside? Who knows!
For those of us who can't access Twitter, if this is about a recent congressional hearing, who is the Representative speaking, and can you briefly describe the aide behind her? Then I can look at the video on C-SPAN.
I agree. And it’s also disturbing how few people realize that we are in a war of Good vs Evil, but try to ‘dumb it down’ by pretending it is something like an annoying gnat flying around.
ThAt, in my opinion, is the BIG problem. God’s Word says “IF MY people”........(will repent and turn from THEIR wicked ways).....
But instead, they bat the Truth away like a truculent teenager, unwilling to hear, to obey. So, deeper into this madness we go. Our arrogance on display and ‘in His face’. I wonder if He is as weary of us as we are with each other. Sigh........
How can the creation (devil) tempt Jesus (creator)? Jesus suffered as a human/man but was perfect and part of God, or the trinity, as some say.
I find it ridiculous that the devil would say to Jesus that he could have all the world knowing Jesus' Father created it and that Jesus would rule it one day.
I think he was telling Jesus that he would let him rule the earth without having to suffer.
Of course, the enemy is a liar and the truth is not in him, so he wouldn’t have done it, but Jesus was facing the worst suffering in all mankind, so I can understand how it would be tempting.
On an unrelated (/s) note, I wonder what all this UFO disclosure talk is about?
Those transdimensional (pun intended) demonically possessed meat suits are going to preach a gnostic gospel that they put us here or engineered us. I'll bet a shiny new debased dime.
Thank you. For years I was indoctrinated into believing their lies. But I started waking up and suddenly I see that all their climate stuff is junk science based on ‘models’. Then I realized the ‘globe’ was a theory as well, based on models. Then I saw a meme. A meme!! Lol. Of Nixon, on a landline, talking to someone ‘on the moon’.......and I couldn’t stop laughing at how bad the propaganda was/is.......and I fell for it!!!!!😂😂😂😂.
“Get under your desks children!!! We are practicing nuclear drills....your desks will save you from the BOMB!!!”
Okie-dokie.
Fear is the governments main ingredient in their poison and they force it in IV’s when we’re children, but we drink it in through straws as adults.......willingly.
Some folks make fun of memes, claiming that they are silly. But...every book about 'outer space' that I read growing up was nothing but memes...drawings!
here's a post i wrote on the topic! this post is a intro into a 4-part analysis on the topic!
FYI; the intro is free, the the 4-parts are member only. you can check them out with free seven day subscription and cancel afterwards if you wan (or support me if you enjoy them :))
yes, shortcutting to godhood; who needs God or some Jesus or prophet to facilitate the process? Plus Nature and cosmic energy are way too slow and unreliable as well. Let's Technify the new Tower to Above-the-earth Existence and Dominion
Some of the vaxxed at my work have started having hemoglobin issues. It has been close to 2 years since their first shot. I think they thought they had dodge the bullet. A lot is based on things I see and hear. I think some are not as unaware of the clot shot issues as I previously thought.
I asked and they said the kind that shows lack of oxygen in the blood even though you have more red blood cells. Also can be due to clotting. I not sure. But the way they were looking at me and what they found on various medical sites wasn't comforting. Apparently a doctor confirmed that. I try to show calm and quiet concern. I know it's the vaxx as they never had any issues and are in great health. Unless they ask my opinion, I won't say. What good would it do?
I felt the same way with a long time friend. I finally had to just say it. She was thankful and decided to leave her doc for a naturopath/nutritionist. Now feeling better. Give her the McCullough protocol for ridding the body of the spike protein. We know that Genetic vaccines have no “off switch”; the continued Spike protein piles on more insult to injury. This is his protocol: “We are hopeful that 3 to 12 or more months of the triple combination, oral base Spike detoxification protocol can begin to catch up with and begin to dispose of the Spike protein so the body can heal itself provided no further injections are administered.”
...this non-existent UFO garbage is a ruse to draw attention away from the corrupt Biden crime family. Let's talk about things 'out of this world' to keep the focus off of the treasonous corruption that we call the Biden crime syndicate, and it's NEGATIVE consequences on this nation.
Just keep investing your time into reading God’s Word. All the answers to life can be found in the Bible. There are no UFO’s, there are no aliens from outer space. God lays out His creation in Genesis. His Word is truth and it’s unchanging.
Discussing the "climate" (weather and drought and fire) in CO with a nice couple; i mentioned that well, as we know the earth has basically been steadily and increasingly warming since the end of the last ice age which both women acknowledged as factual. Like if a house is burning and i light up a cigar and get blamed for the fire and nasty smoke.
My husband and I saw 3 triangular UFOs one night coming home from Bible study. We dont obsess over what we saw. God knows. Does a UFO lead me to God? No. So who cares.
I just read an article which quotes Fr. Seraphim Rose (deceased Orthodox monk priest) and is spot on:
'Perhaps the most sobering aspect of Fr. Seraphim’s analysis is the eschatological significance that he attached to these aerial phenomena (see pp. 110-112), which he interpreted in light of yet unfulfilled prophecies of “fire from heaven” (Rev. 13:13) and “terrors and great signs from heaven” (Luke 21:11). In other words, the increased frequency of UFO sightings may be a sign that we’re approaching the end of time.'
There is also the issue of psyops and NASA, as well as the DOD, have a tremendous amount of technology and other sophisticated equipment that can be used to create distractions and images in the sky or anywhere. It’s often difficult to distinguish truth from lies but that is also a characteristic of the End Times. From my understanding, all the Biblical prophecies have been fulfilled.
Throughout history God has raised up witnesses to share His Good News. The tribulation will be no different; God will provide witnesses of His redemptive work to the very end of days. Until the Rapture, Jesus has commissioned every believer to be His witness. After the rapture of the church the Holy Spirit will empower 2 witnesses who will prophesy during the Tribulation. Jesus refers to them as “my two witnesses” indicating a special relationship to Him. (Rev. 11:3) They are not named in the Bible but some scholars have speculated they could be Moses and Elijah. That is speculation; God tells us everything we need to know, not every single detail of what’s to come. Trust Him!
Jeff doesn't usually come across as a "sweet summer child" but I had to snort in derision when I read the last sentence "this Biden impeachment would seem to have more substantial, valid reasons than any of the previous cases. So hang in there. It’s coming." It may be coming, and the reasons may be valid, but that has nothing to do with getting rid of him. McCarthy - "this rises the the level of impeachment". Oh for the Lord's sake. I can't even.🙄
here's my big laugh for the day yesterday. I spent the entire afternoon laughing and singing the song. I mainly come here for the comedic genius who is Jeff Childers!
Yep! Like the wrestlers of the WWE; bashing each other, smacking each other with chairs and the like but then you find they are eating together at Denny's and drinking together at the bar and shooting pool.....
"It's a big club and you ain't in it".
I think Jeff is a little optimistic regarding the down side for the Biden's in Camelot.
And I thought the Republicans were going to hold Kevin McCarthy to account if he wasn't supportive of the conservative agenda. Yeah! I'm with you. Will never happen!
They had all of the evidence against the Bidens years ago. Right, left, it doesn't matter. They all work for the central banks, big pharma, and the military industrial complex.
I think impeachment is inevitable. Evidence if corruption is too strong. No way they can bring all this out and not. Even McCarthy will have to despite not really wanting it.
Question is: are Dems going to write Biden off, or (more likely) cover up like monkey triplets and vote no impeachment no matter what and trust the media to spin it to minimize political damage.
One out every five people in America could die suddenly and Fauci would still be spouting Covid nonsense and Google would still be removing Covid “misinformation” - that’s our reality.
It’s insulting to our intelligence to think anyone other than a biological female can become pregnant. It’s just more indoctrination through the use of words.
Jeremiah 30:6-7 "Ask now, and see, can a man bear a child? Why then do I see every man with his hands on his stomach like a woman in labor? Why has every face turned pale? Alas! That day is so great there is none like it; it is a time of distress for Jacob; yet he shall be saved out of it."
Even they would agree a uterus is needed, I think, it's just "hurtful" to call the women who think they're men women. It's better to hurt those allergic to absurd use of language.
It is insulting. It is also scientism which springs forth from the cult of dipshitism brought to you by the god of delusion and confusion. May his head be soon crushed under the foot of the King of Kings.
I get enraged when I hear stuff like this. I would never have considered myself a feminist, but I am getting to see the point of it given how women are being erased a little more each day.
I received cancer treatment tere in 2008, and I loved my compassionate oncologist. Then, in 2021, I saw a video of him recommending the shots. I haven't seen any indication that he's awakened to the truth. (He's no longer with Duke.)
I am afraid that for as much as even all of us are becoming somewhat accustomed to these previously bizarre clotting and sudden death scenarios, we are raising a whole generation of medical students and new doctors who are “growing up,” so to speak, in their training, where these previously UNHEARD OF events are now commonplace and simply blamed on bad genetics or bad luck or overexertion.
I remember just a few decades ago that anyone in their 20s-30s who had a heart attack was using cocaine, until proven otherwise. Because heart attacks just don’t happen in young adults. Now, even that no longer gets a hearing, at least that I’ve heard about. But maybe someone who actually works in an ED can enlighten us.
And anytime a young woman had blood clots, there would have been a massive search for why. Especially a woman who wasn’t pregnant. Because blood clots don’t just happen.
Unfortunately the docs who are coming out of school and residency over the last three years and going forward (1) haven’t gotten the real hands on bedside teaching and experience of prior generations because, well, germs and (2) are seeing as common what up until Dec 2020 was absolutely rare and not common whatsoever.
God, rescue us and open eyes and bring forth the truth tellers who will speak the truth to these new docs and students. And protect the truth tellers.
Actually, it has been going on for quite some time. We don't trust any MDs under 50 unless we KNOW the medicine they practice, especially if they work in an academic setting where "new medicine" is NOTHING like medicine! Our mid 30s MD daughter informed her MD father, that his medicine practice was antiquated, "we do things differently now...." My husband
(her father), is one of the most brilliant physicians I've ever known, not because he's my husband! I've worked with hundreds of them in the past! He can talk medicine so fast around her she gets dizzy! When he recommended Ivermectin, HCQ, Vitamin D3 and Zinc for her bad covid in December of 2020 she laughed, "all those studies are ancedotal." The EXACT same phrase repeated ad infinitum on msm and at the academic institutions of medicine throughout the US! Yet, when he asked her why Uttar Pradesh in India went from massive covid to zero in short time by giving everyone Ivermectin, vitamin D and zinc she refused to believe it, despite proof. She was out of work for 3 weeks and literally let them shoot her up with the first vax while she was still recovering😵💫😵. No, medicine is not the same! Medical schools and residencies are filled with under performing diversity admissions and it is glaringly obvious to the older professor/MD attendings! LOW expectations. They are being dumbed down even in medical school! Residency selection is based on diversity... used to be they wanted the best and brightest. Make that make sense...
It's already started. I have two nephews in the med school and residency pipeline and you hear them say things like, "well, we're just more aware of these issues now."
Saying that is basically saying that young adult women used to have blood clots but apparently nobody, including themselves, happened to notice any symptoms. That is incredibly arrogant.
And it also is to say that we just now happen to be noticing that young adults are dropping dead for no reason, whereas up until two and a half years ago, any young adult’s sudden death - especially if a celebrity or sports figure - would have been scrutinized backwards and forwards six days til Sunday, or whatever the saying is.
Will be interesting to see LeBron's reaction. IF what we suspect happened, happend, he got played (pardon the pun) and his child is the one to suffer for it.
That makes me want to say words I don’t say. I mean,…..
Are you allowed to do the {previously customary} work up for such an unusual phenomenon? I mean, in past times, up until a few seconds ago, doctors would have been soiling themselves if they saw something like that, and there would be case reports and grand rounds and that sort of thing, trying to figure it all out.
How do you handle discussing w family? Do you ask about injection status? Any ability to suggest they may want to avoid thrombotic instigators such as well, airplane flights and certain injections?
But at least until recently, rare cases still got evaluated in attempts to understand why they happened. For education and also for things like prevention of future recurrences. 🙄
My daughter's friend is now a PA. She said "The sun causes skin cancer. Why would I go out in the sun if it could kill me?"
On a positive note, more doctors are now looking into the actual studies and necessity of numerous vaccinations and not blindly taking recommendations.
Those are the same people spraying themselves with toxic chemicals to "protect" themselves from the sun...
I'm sorry but you cannot tell me "oh I was in the sun too much as a kid in the 60s, that's why I have skin cancer"...when for 60 years you've sprayed chemicals on your skin ...no, it never could be the sunscreen 🙄
One of the red pilling side effects in my home is zero sunscreen and zero shots now. Period. I'm actually thankful for lockdowns/covid bc it woke me up!
Because God made the sun, and he surely made it for our good benefit. Maybe it is something man made (look at seed oils and what Tucker Goodrich has to say) that is causing the cancer.
And yes, more doctors looking at the evidence. I personally know two pediatricians who have done a 180 on vaccines.
God made the sea too, that doesn't mean you can't drown in it... getting repeatedly sunburned is clearly going to be bad for you. But the idea of never going in the sun at all because it will "kill you" is just ridiculous.
Normal routine exposure to bright sunshine in the middle of the day was known to be good for us until about 30 years ago. Our family rarely burns since eliminating seed oils (corn, soy, sunflower, safflower, canola, etc) from our diets. My spouse who previously could not mow grass without careful skin protection no longer has to use such measures.
I've also read that taking Vitamin D helps in preventing sunburn. Obviously if one is in the sun and your skin feels like it is burning, get in the shade! Also interesting about removing seed oils, I'm adding that to the to-do list!
Seed oils are very bad for lots of reasons. Check out Tucker Goodrich for more information.
They oxidize (go bad) at body temperature, so why would we want our cells (which are little bags whose walls are composed of fat - whatever kind of fat we are eating) composed of that?
They are highly inflammatory.
They therefore are at the root of most modern diseases: macular degeneration, coronary artery disease, obesity (and this has absolutely nothing to do with their caloric density), arthritis, skin cancer, dementia, non-alcoholic fatty liver which probably half of Americans have because half of Americans are insulin resistant/pre-diabetic or outright diabetic (Type 2).
Once you learn, you will be able to make your own mayonnaise and salad dressings, and find peanut butter and other things that don't contain these poisons. Just takes lots of label reading and the willingness to spend a little more at the grocery store. But, as someone once told us, pay the grocer or pay the doctor.
yes, immersive generational progressivism and shifting; expert at this; birth control paved way to trans-meds and surgeries; New Deal projects pave way for American Rescue and Inflation Reduction; everywhere all the time never resting PROGRESSIVE crafting of humanity
Man Who Drowned On Obama Property Was Their Personal Chef.” As a former surfer I can say that when you fall off your surfboard or paddleboard, the first thing you do is find & grab the board. Among other things, that is your absolute best 'life preserver'. This gentleman was healthy, smart, athletic etc. so if he didn't / couldn't , grab the board, he had another very serious, immediate, issue going on. All you need is one arm on the board to keep your head out of the water,. There were NO waves where he was to hinder him.
Prayers up for Tori Kelly, I could not imagine having to deal with something so serious at such a young age. Thankfully she's a Christian so she knows God is in control.
The song Jeff posted by her is beautiful but it brings up something I have been struggling with. Should we be singing praise songs written by Hillsong? Every time we sing a Hillsong song at church they gat paid royalties. It's pennies for the church but when 100 thousand churches are singing "What a Beautiful Name" it adds up.
Hillsong has serious doctrinal and ethical issues. Can we enjoy their praise music (which appears to be theologically sound in most instances) and should we be sending them money? Bethel is even worse and it's the same situation. Probably half of the songs sung in contemporary worship have a Hillsong or Bethel connection. Seems like a problem to me but it's not discussed.
Contemporary worship service is SO part of the Christian experience today I’m not sure one can even find a traditional service (singing old church hymns). My church has a contemporary worship service that a few of my friends make fun of. Not because of the music but because of the way it is sung. It is a complete distraction to what the intent is for singing; the worship minister can’t carry a note. I believe the whole theory of singing during a religious event is to raise the endorphins; to help you receive the Word. It works whether you’re in a Roman Catholic church hearing a Gregorian chant or Ave Maria, a Protestant church singing about our Savior, or Taize service which is a more meditative style of sung worship. HOWEVER, now that some say there is a royalty charge for singing some songs, I’ll have a think about that. Okay, done. If I’m a leftist and non-believer and you want to sing my song, you’ll have to pay me.
Yes, there is an agreement for royalty fees among churches so that the song authors get paid (because "do not muzzle the ox that treads the grain", etc). Worth bearing in mind if you don't approve of the songs or their authors.
Jeff C, I am Catholic and while we have sung some Hillsong songs at our church, I am unfamiliar with the controversy to which you refer. Can you fill me in?
The Word of Faith thing is bad enough, but that second article gives you a little more to go on about the music itself.
There are some good things that come from Hillsong, but there are questionable/concerning things as well. There have also been several very public scandals around their leadership that should be somewhat concerning. Yes, they're big and people are people, but ... you don't seem to see as much in other large denominations/churches. (and yes - they have issues as well - sin is equal opportunity :/ )
Thank you for posting this. And Bethel is part of the New Apostolic Reformation movement which is really problematic.
Generally songs from Hillsong and Bethel are biblical IMO as they don't get into Word of Faith or NAR theology and tend to stress God's love and holiness. I don't have a problem with that. What I do have concerns about is paying royalties to these churches which we must do if we sing their songs in church as the songs are copyrighted. WoF and NAR are not biblical, yet our royalty payments support churches that spread it.
Fascinating. Thank you, Peter. We have discussions about the use of music in worship in service of the Catholic Mass all the time so it is interesting to know that other denominations and faith traditions have these tensions too.
I don’t know if it’s been posted here yet, but I just saw news headline: LeBron James’ son, Bronny, 18, suffers cardiac arrest during USC basketball workout. !!
One of my pet peeves in tv shows and movies these days is when actors are carrying around obviously empty coffeeshop cups from shops like Starbucks. Or even worse, the holders carrying 4 cups of coffee supposedly they they have brought to share with friends. But you can tell there is nothing in the cups because they hold the cups or holders as if they were lifting air. They don’t even try to be realistic. In the video it was the same thing. The ladies obviously carrying near weightless blocks.
(And to be clear, I’m not being gleeful or glib about the people who are injured and suffering, but I an more than happy to mock the people who have pushed and continue to push these shots as safe and effective 😡 They are liars and tools).
the New Ben and Jerry's flavor: imPeachMint real fruit and natural flavor--but it'll have Trump on the label and imPeachMint II with nuts. My State's Congressional clowns carried the Articles; Jason Crowe in Act 1, and Joey Nguese in Act 2; what self-acclaiming rising in the ranks scum they both are
Yesterday found out my coworkers son going away to college in the Panhandle of Texas was notified and asked if there was any problem with his soon-to-be roommate being transgender (biological female in a men's dorm). Thankfully the University allowed the son to opt for other arrangements and was respectful of his and his parents religious beliefs and wishes. This is in the reddest part of the state of Texas we are talking about. I am a stranger in my own country and state. I've even started to consider leaving paid employment because I just cannot, in good conscience continue to send my tax dollars to the fraud and corruption that is our government. The one thing they are supposed to do is uphold the Constitution fairly and protect our borders from invasion, both of which they are actively and demonstrably failing at in epic form. How can you continue to give your tax dollars to support corruption?
In a JCPenney store in South Dakota the other day, I heard a mother and daughter talking in English. That's it. Every other customer group was speaking some other language. We are not anywhere near the southern border, and we have miserably brutal winters, so I have to wonder what draws these folks who have no cultural, historical, geographical, or economic ties to this area.
They are purposefully planted in all States, that’s why. Our government is placing them wherever they want. Get used to it.
Immigrational Regional Equity; they get red carpet welcomes. If we didn't have a mass of working immigrants in CO then the Yuppy-Democrat Elitist Progressives wouldn't get any work done on their HOA covenanted homes, or have anyone to advocate for and craft policy toward except drug addicted slothful mal-educated types

If you please, would you tell me if that is an official office? thanks kindly <3
No, only fake news; my twisted version of Leftist NWO reality that could be something those freaks would devise
Maybe winter will get them moving elsewhere. Just, please, not to Florida.
Never get used to it!!!!!! They are all being flown back just as fast as their coming!! They will never stay here!!!
as soon as they get their green card and voting rights they will move
I just had this conversation with someone who runs a cleaning service
She said the young people coming here have no desire to work hard- they’re told they can come here and make huge money- doing very little. She thinks that’s why they’re coming.
Well, housecleaning is hard physical work and she can’t keep the young girls. She said she’s lost more girls than she can count to…dance/strip clubs!
Because they can work fewer hours and make more money … and maybe catch a man in the process
Dark times.
Dark.
I don’t think we have to get used to it, instead, we need to get to the bottom of it.
All DEI have lost their jobs the ones hired to make waves. The ones you said get used to it. This was as of today.
They’re purposely shipped to red states to strain their resources and agencies and to flip these states blue.
here in FL medicaid covers very little, no reason to come here. They will be better off in the BLUEST OF BLUE states
Smart policy! Every other red state should do that!
We live 60 miles from NYC. When we watch the news, EVERY PERSON they interview has an accent and/or can barely speak English! WTH? Do they deliberately stay away from people who are fluent in English, or is this done to prove that NYC is still a melting pot? One would think that everyone who lives in or around NYC is a foreigner. Happens after every incident where they interview the people who live in those neighborhoods....What’s the point?
I lived outside London for several years,Same thing happened there when they started the European Union. I was often asked by American visitors where all the British people were.
I remember London in 1980 where despite some foreigners, it was still primarily ethnically English. Fast forward to 97 and it was a different city with only the architecture reminding you of where you were
The loss of Europe is particularly sad.
The loss of Germany breaks my heart. My family's homeland. From
where I must have inherited my love of gardening and needlework
Kinda like in the South after a tornado. The most illiterate, toothless individual is often chosen to speak about the disaster.
I really hate that 😡 I am not from the South but the deliberate and gleeful stereotyping of people from that part of the country as backward, ignorant hicks really burns me up 🤬
I am from the South, We’re the last group for which ridicule and stereotyping is fine and dandy. Frankly, we have more serious concerns.
oh yeah, Texas? The south had very find social education and culture. Craft making, quilting, canning, preserves, garden club, women's bible study. The South is for roses, dogwood and peaches!
I agree on both points. Still bugs me though.
As a Southerner I sincerely thank you RunningLogic🙏🏻😊. I assure you we are not all toothless or illiterate :).
(I’d like to add that I am not disparaging those who may be though - you never know their story or their struggles😊).
Thanks for your comment!
Oh I definitely know that! Many very fine thinkers from the South! I also love the variety of accents in this or any other country, it gives a richness and texture to speech that I appreciate so much!!
And I really like your parenthetical comment, it is so true, and I’ve come to really despise those who mock the people they consider beneath them, like those toothless and/or illiterates you mentioned. They might not be well read or articulate or what most would consider attractive, but many of those people have good sense and hard won wisdom earned from life experiences. Far worse are the so-called educated who can’t even think for themselves but just parrot what others say.
I’m in Oklahoma, 💯 true!!
Turn OFF THE NEWS!! It’s depressing! We have to stay positive and quit watching lies on TV!!! Go listen to independent journalism. There are hundreds of channels on Rumble. Go find FCB. Gene Decode. He is so smart! Go learn something new! Go outside barefoot and feel the Earth.
yes, grouding! It does kill pain, reporting from my anecdotal, first-person point of view that is~
I wonder if the homegrown Americans either decline to be interviewed or have better things to do?
They are assigned to certain areas to turn them blue. Is your state one of the 15 giving them driver's licenses which automatically registers them to vote, or like Houston Texas, they are paid a universal basic income (Uplift Harris) or your local Catholic Charities has sponsored them into your town.
(Uplift Harris) is supplying a universal basic income? I am intimately aware with a certain Houston religious group funding healthcare clinics (medical and dental) where no and low cost healthcare is provided to "refugees" and you cannot imagine the Texas Code of Rules and Regulations along with the U.S. Code that has been written to provide everything a person needs to live a wonderful and 100% parasitic life in ease and comfort. I will definitely investigate Uplift Houston and thank you for that information.
Regarding auto-voter registration: Texas is not one of the states that allows non-citizens to possess a driver's license, that should be illegal; as well should be automatically registering to vote. Those 2 practices when combined would constitute direct governmental fraud, election meddling, true insurrection. Not an insurrection from the Uniparty war room, who now holds persons in jail as domestic terrorists for the crime of attending a peaceful protest of an obviously stolen Presidential Election.
Nothing Dakota and Michigan are two of the states offer Drivers Licenses to Non Citizens. UpLift Harris is in Harris county and working directly with Catholic Charities and Houston Interfaith Ministries giving them phones and paying them on apps. They get state and local benefits like about their age to get into school
Undocumented immigrants in the U.S. may obtain a driver’s license in the following places:
California
Colorado
Connecticut
Delaware
District of Columbia
Hawaii
Illinois
Maryland
Nevada
New Jersey
New Mexico
New York
Oregon
Utah
Vermont
Virginia
Washington
FOUND IT!
Add Michigan and North Dakota
Ilhan Omar just posted on her twitter account yesterday that "every American should have a guaranteed income to meet their basic needs like food, healthcare and housing" which means to me she thinks the taxpayer should fund the lives of every single deadbeat in the US. She doesn't seem to care if they have clothing. This is the evil and more-than-ignorant mentality we are up against.
Everything about Ilhan Omar is dishonest and disgustinging disrespectful.
whatever church or other organization that is sponsoring them
I heard a talk by a local police dept spokesman, and he kept extolling the virtues of Lutheran Social Services (https://lsssd.org - separate entity from the church) in bringing in and acclimating immigrants. They receive government grants to do this.
Lots of Christian charities do this.
It makes me angry.
On the one hand, as Christians, we're called to care for the orphan, widow and the needy. On the other hand, does that mean if our government brings all the widows, orphans and needy and drops them on our doorstep, we're required to care for them all? How is that right? Are these people not the least bit responsible for their own lives? Not caring for them could lead to their death and I believe that man is made in the image of God and therefore worthy of care. But I don't understand how the orphans, widows and needy breaking the law makes them my responsibility. Or any other Christian's responsibility.
Before the government crammed all the orphans, widows and needy down our throats, churches used to send out groups of missionaries to help the orphans, widows and needy in their own lands. I guess that's just not good enough anymore.
It's very frustrating.
goodness, I wish you were my neighbor and I could come over for some sweet tea and discuss this! It's been heavy on my heart and conscience.
Me too! I need to sit down and write out what I believe. I think that would be helpful.
oh absolutely. They "partner" with the government for $$s.
it's massive business, streamlined and well-enacted Globally into all western countries; Unaccompanied Minors etc etc (fleeing Climate Change, persecutions, looking for "family" in the country they are transported to. This is UN top-down intentional demographic relocations for millions
Honestly, that shocks me that Lutheran Social services is completely divorced from the Lutheran Church. Was it ever associated? My husband is Lutheran and we don't attend due to, now it appears, our false belief that they are instrumental in support of lawless border and the liberal transexual agenda. Were we wrong?
The churches are 100% responsible for the MAP pedo agenda and Im in shock at how many Christians didn't hold their leaders accountable to stop this madness 50 years ago. If people stop giving to the church when all the pedo stuff came out, I don't think they would have done this with the trans movement
IMHO, yes, you are wrong. You go to church to hear the word of God...to grow closer to him. The churches do not send people here, they help those who are here because they are God’s children. Our government is the problem and these people crossing are pawns in a bigger game...though I do believe that there is a lot of evil people who intend harm crossing too.
I have noticed that for several years the high number of people speaking in another non-english language in my N GA area. In fact, at the farmers market there was a lady next to me, looked mid to upper class, speaking just a little English, and used medicaid coins to buy fresh basil. I thought, wow, where is she from and why is she receiving Medicaid assistance?
Medicaid coins? Not sure about that...
I couldn’t see them closely enough but they really looked more like paper wood coins. The vendor I commonly see on Saturdays at the market, I asked him what they were after she left as I was the next customer after her. He told me. So I don’t know the terms and called it Medicaid, meaning govt assistance to very poor folks.
Very odd. Never heard of them... Was in line at Publix the other day and watched as an older woman used FIVE different govt issue credit/cash cards to pay for her groceries... The cashier rolled her eyes as the woman kept pulling them out... a $343 grocery bill...
Must be nice. Why the hell am I working so hard? Bah.
I wonder if that is why they are letting in hordes of ppl for other countries. They need assistance, typically poorer, and then at some point they will all be transferred onto the CBDC.
I understand where you are coming from and agree with your take for the most part, just a word of caution on making assumptions—more and more people are choosing to raise their children to be bilingual and may just be speaking in their “family”/minority language. This is my case and the case of several of my family and friends. But we also make sure our kids know English (actually unless you segregate yourself in a specific community, it’s almost impossible for them not to, in fact full and balanced bilingualism is very difficult to achieve). I am sure people in stores hearing me speak to my kids in another language have often thought we were non English speaking recent immigrants, when that is completely not the case.
It has to become a new higher standard to attain excellence, bilingual households should be the goal of every upper and middle class home.
It’s certainly more effective than most school language classes 😑 I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve heard some variation of “I took x number of years of y language and all I remember is: [some random phrase]”
I didn't realize JCPenney still existed... cool. That aside, yep, these folks are planted everywhere by the government.
At this point if they aren't woke libbies, I am okay with it. Maybe it's because I am a first generation on my dad's side.
Did your dad speak English?
With a very thick accent.
give them $$$ and time and they will become through indoctrination
You have Republican Governor, Senators, and Representative, and you wonder what draws these folks to your state? Its the Demoncrats that run the Federal Government what want to ensure they stay in power by diluting your vote base
WI? MN ? ND?
SD
No!! 😭
Hmmm...interesting! I would love to know as well.
I am in central Florida so not near Miami which I would expect, it's either rednecks or non English speaking people. I literally have to ask someone if they speak English if they don't have a baseball cap and jeans on. I lived in England for 20 years and probably 60% were non English. Everyone spoke English. What annoys me is how they expect services to speak to them in their language, so you can't get a job unless you are bilingual locally - they need to be forced somehow to learn English. This is bad for our schools and workplaces
They are being flown there and given everything needed to start over!!
That is so awful! Glad they warned you ahead of time! I have 2 years before our oldest graduates and the thought is terrifying. I really am not sure I want him to attend college. So much needless drama and forced indoctrination...he has never attended a public school and I am not sure I want him start at age 18.
Send him to a trade school. So he can actually learn something useful (electrician, plumber, etc.).
He loves history and is super smart but a practical trade is always safe. He actually wants to be a pilot and we had thought about the Air Force academy (since his grandfather was there) but not now! I can’t trust our government to protect my son and not force him to fight in a needless war!
He’d be a pin cushion if he went into the AF
Haha well yes there is that too!! I don’t think the military takes religious exemptions 🙄
History is great if it actually true. My daughter just graduated and going to a trade school. She can work for a while and then start her own business rather than be indoctrinated and stuck in an unhealthy job with loads of college debt. My oldest went to 4 yrs of college and is not even using her degree because it is in the medical field.
Many majors are sponsoring young aspiring pilots in flight academies right now to deal with the already-bad-and-only-going-to-get worse ATP shortage. Another option is to get a four year degree in an aeronautical field at one of the schools (Embry-Riddle in FL, Purdue in IN, or U. of North Dakota are the big three in this area) where alongside your degree you are trained up through commercial multi-engine/CFI/CFII and then get into the pipeline to acquire your 1500 hours before you can jump to a major. There are plenty of ways to become an airline pilot that don't require you to get anywhere near Colorado Springs.

Today a college education is a waste of $$$$$. Send him to a trade school, and he will earn a lot more $$$$ and his mind will be free of all the junk and indoctrination. Besides, a college education is already out of the economic budget of the middle class. He will have a great future.
Both my plumber and my electrician live in much more expensive homes than I do!
Or go into business for himself.
no hiding; they want control and influence and will never stop
Over the past year my young ‘yard guy’ has gotten more work than he can handle, has hired assistants and is struggling with whether to keep it small or let it grow. And he won’t do anything but mow, blow and go.
Any service providers who are halfway reliable, decent and honest can make a killing with a lawn mower around here.
Yes!! I have 6 kids that i homeschool...my daughter turns 18 in Sept. She's done private public and is now homeschooling...she's going to get her reg. Behavior tech. Cert. And look at other trades ...I want my 5 boys each to just pick a trade, I could just send them all out as young adults as a family fleet of useful services instead of wasting their lives in public university 😀
they're coming after trade schools; ColorFakeO Dept. of Regulations pushing DIE on the trades now Governor Pole-Licks is hard to push his dirty business into our business,
Amen!
He could always consider Hillsdale college, or any other college that upholds traditional values.
Hillsdale had a HUGE applicant pool last year.
And, I have not gotten the impression that Hillsdale is necessarily accommodating to our kids with “quirks” whose learning styles don’t fit the Classical model of education.
Don’t get me wrong - it seems to be a great school! But it cannot possibly serve alllll the kids who need a quality, truly traditional (classical, but not in the Classical way) college education.
Copernicus is right. The demand for Hillsdale has increased tremendously since Covid. My daughter just graduated and she said that the school's leadership really doesn't want to increase the size much more because than what makes Hilldale, Hillsdale will be compromised.
Regarding quirky students: my oldest son also graduated from Hillsdale, Copernicus and he is clearly on the ASD spectrum (I would say high-functioning/Asperger's). I found the staff, students and professors to be very caring and tolerant of his many verbal and physical tics and his tendency to perseverate on ideas. But while at Hillsdale he was highly involved in the Catholic group, orchestra, honors program and music fraternity. Though the competition to get in is only going to get more intense, it is definitely worth consideration.
What about kids with learning disabilities?
We were in a rigorous private classical model elementary school. Which we loved, until we didn’t. The flexibility and willingness to accommodate was non-existent. We were told the child just needed to stop complaining and do the work like everyone else was doing. 😡
Copywork as a way of learning penmanship and grammar and such is great. Unless you have a writing disability and still can’t remember how to form letters, for instance. (In college obviously they’ll be typing, but even typing can be a challenge for some of these kids.). Our school didn’t see it that way.
I can attest to the inflexibility at classic ed schools. It was a great place, but the work load was a nightmare for me to ensure my child got accomodations. It really depended on the teacher and was not cut and dry so the expectations were unclear. Expectations in teaching is most important for student success.
I had my youngest child in a rigorous classical school and agree with you that they can be inflexible. Having differences in processing and learning styles shouldn't be a barrier to attending a classical school, but leadership in these settings think they can just "will" kids to a certain level of performance. I definitely understand what you are saying. I would ask to speak to someone at Hillsdale regarding your specific concerns. I do know that they have many homeschool students at Hillsdale.
The classical school model isn’t for every child. The curriculum is set, the work is rigorous and in our classical and Christian school, they made that clear in the first prospective parent meeting. They really can’t accommodate children with learning disabilities. In recent years, a teacher from that school started an alternative Christian school here, geared especially to those children with learning or emotional disabilities!
….We finally left the C&C school after our two girls finished the 8th & tenth grades because the school culture was sick — esp. in the upper grades. Homeschooled for a year & then entered them in another Christian high school here, which lacked the order & academic rigor, but truly made up for it in Christian love, service; they encouraged charity, maturity and creativity. Interestingly, many of their classmates were also fellow refugees they’d known from years past at the C&C sch. — including their favorite teacher & her kids.
But it all depends on those at the top!! (Both girls were nat. merit scholars, btw — I attribute that to their first years at the classical school. Those last HS years were INVALUABLE, though!).
Many Blessings!
Yes, I know of a good student who applied to Hillsdale and didn't get accepted. We need more good colleges. Amazing the colleges fall all over themselves trying to be more woke at a time when enrollment has dropped off a cliff, while colleges not doing that have more students applying than ever! Not too smart.
My daughter, who has learning disabilities, just graduated from Spring Arbor University in Michigan. It is a Christian school and has a very caring staff that deals with a lot of kids who need accommodations. It is not even close to the caliber of Hillsdale (I had two kids who went to Hillsdale), but it is a good conservative school, and I highly recommend it.

Wisconsin Lutheran College ( WLC) is in Wisconsin and is a Great faith based College with high academic achievements!!!! Michael Knolls was invited to give a lecture. I have 4 graduates 🎓 from there in our family. Plus my Son in law is an Organic Chemistry professor. Check it out ☺️✝️❤️
If they take/accept govt money they are forced to run their school the same exact way as every other college and university that take govt money. Hillsdale doesn't take govt money.... And, that is a HUGE difference.
Any school accepting gvt money had to instill wokeism. It all started in the 90s with the Clintons
Grove City still in that category?
Yes, Grove City is still in that category.
I have no clue.
Aww, yes! WLC was where I learned to truly live my faith, and I’ll always be grateful. I never had Dr. Glaeske in class, but I liked the guy. I’m pretty sure Angela was there when I was. Though I don’t recommend going into debt to go there, it’s an excellent institution.

Since quite a few comments in this thread brought up their own searches for a good school for their children, I thought I’d share a stack from someone I read here. I found this young man’s tale of his search for a decent college very inspirational. He’s very methodical and shares a lot of details about his criteria in looking for a Christian education.
No idea what faith banner he flies under, there were some schools he ruled out because he felt he’d be somewhat uncomfortable with their doctrine and practices personally. But he was very respectful in his approach. Hope it’s helpful to someone else.

Our youngest just graduated from Mid America Christian University in OKC. As traditional Catholics (Latin Mass) we were at first a little concerned about her being indoctrinated with protestantism.
But having her on a campus where the students, the teachers and the administration were all publicly-declared and practicing Christians was a blessing. Although I'm sure some of the students were LGBTQ, it wasn't publicly tolerated.
We are very pleased with her experience there.
There's a few good private schools out there. Large public universities can possibly be sorta safe if he steers clear of liberal arts classes and focuses on "hard" subjects like science, nursing, etc. and lives at home. It's risky though.
We know several kids who enjoy https://www.flagler.edu/. In America's oldest city. Pretty conservative.
Our daughter got her 5th and 6th year of college there (changed majors a couple of times, getting her BA from FSU. She loved it and got extra credit and paid for working at Florida School for the Deaf and Blind. She will be starting her 27th year working with the Deaf (political correct again- it was Hearing Impaired before) in the school system. Their adoption of a 2 year old boy from Chine who was born with no ears has given us a love for that school and FSDB. Our China baby is now living at FSDB, coming home on weekends. Public school offered nothing for the special needs students in most areas, no matter how hard the supervisors of the schools try. Teachers have too much non-educational duties by dealing with students on meds, no breakfast (yes, it’s free, but the kids can’t walk to school alone), not being there and on and on...Now her first born starts teaching 3rd grade in as Orange City school. Many students blessed by these two God loving, giving souls. So, I consider Flagler College a conservative, caring place to learn academically and give back lovingly.
China and all the other typos must be due to Apple saying it’s time to get a new iPhone and iPad!
An interesting and useful resource to get a sense of the campus culture (especially with respect to freedom of speech) is The Fire:

Thanks, Running Logic...just checked it. Saw a similar 15 or 20 years ago when it mattered to me.
I don't blame you and I have regrets about my own even as they taught me all that malthusian bs and zero real history. Real courses well vetted would be better.
Follow your heart, mom!
Fortunately, my son wants to go to the college 10 miles away so he can live at home. He still thinks he wants to live on campus and it is one of the more conservative campuses but we had a heart to heart about what he might face living in a dorm these days. I already told him that we will know and choose his roommate or it won't happen. I'd be more worried about a trans living in a girl's dorm but I told him that I can't control how many people living nearby might be gay couples or such and who knows what he might walk in on in the bathroom (gay or straight), or drugs, etc and does he really want to live like that? I have a friend whose daughter avoided high school bathrooms because she was scared she'd walk in on someone having sex. I've already told him that I'm not paying for on-campus housing. I'm praying he chooses the at home option especially since I recently learned it is a minimum of $14k to live on that campus and that is a colossal waste of money when home is free and a much better option.
I grew up in NYC and in the 70s we all lived at home and went to college at home.
My son chose to attend in-state college at a campus 90 miles away vs. at a campus in our city. He had full scholarships for his books and tuition. If he'd chosen the college in our city and lived at home there would have been 0 cost for dorm and meal plan. We told him that he would have to pay us back 30% of whatever we had to cover for his room and board. We had him sign a contract.
I'm going with the car option. If he lives at home, I'll use the $14k to buy him a car. If he lives on campus, he can pay the $14k to live on campus and also buy himself a car.
vicious I tell you! :-)
Good conversation with your son.
Thems that’s got the gold, makes the rules!
Or another one is he who pays the piper calls the tune 😉 Quite right!
Wow.
At least they had the decency to warn you ahead of time, but it never should be an issue in the first place. No, I would not want to room with an alphabet person - who knows how stable they are mentally? That's not meant as an insult - bad things happen when you mess with human hormones.
When my son enrolled 7 yrs ago at Oregon State he was late and joined in for the winter term. When he filled out his dorm paperwork they asked a question he didn’t understand at the time (7 yrs ago right?). Because of that question and he was late to enroll and there wasn’t room left anywhere else they placed him in a transgender dorm full of these trans kids! It was awful!!! The place was crawling with very weird, gay, lesbian and trans kids. His roommate ended up “liking” him and it was a dude. 🤮 My poor son. The stories he told us about people undressing in front of each other like it was no big deal, male and female…..ugh. Luckily he found the one bathroom that was for private use and that private bathroom became his best friend! He struggled through that and then was able to get the he$$ out of there and we helped get him an apartment with a normal roommate. And this was 7 years ago before it was the new thing to be transwhatever. 🤦🏼♀️
Oh and one of the ones who he didn’t know if it was a boy or girl asked about his tattoo which is of Jesus….when he told that person what it was he/she/it growled at him. 😂
Growl=demon.
Oh wow 😳😳😳 That gave me the creeps big time, even just reading about his experience. I can only imagine how bad it must’ve been to live through it.
It was creepy. And he tried to get moved but there was no other rooms available. It was back before it is like it is now but I still shake my head that we let him stay in there. I don’t know what in the world we were thinking! He didn’t spend a lot of time in his dorm. If it were NOW, no way. He’s be outta there.
Sometimes I feel like when I am caught by surprise by something so extreme, I just don’t know what to do or to think at first. Maybe that was your case, it was such a shock and so outlandishly extreme that it made you kind of “freeze.”
Ya sort of. It just wasn’t so big back then a short 7 years ago. Trans whatever weren’t demanding to be seen and catered to back then. They were just there. And of course there was the whole “tolerance” thing. We were shocked there was even a dorm for them. Wait! What? Transgender dorm? What is that? How did this happen? Mostly a bit confused it was a real thing happening.
Yes that’s what I meant, just not something you ever thought of so you were kind of blindsided.
wow, yes demons. So this is a demon infested place now no doubt!. Luckily the student I speak of is going on a full scholarship so the money is not a waste. I'm out in the deadlands of Texas., deep west texas where there is not even most medical specialists for a good 40 miles or more. I had no idea this was really getting so ingrained as I have been keeping my head down all these good long 7 years now.
Oh my I’m so sorry! Your poor son! Glad he got out of there!
Time for a massive tea party!
DEBORAH E.... word for word “I am a stranger in my own country and state.”...🙌💥🎯👏🏻
Tradesmen will be in more demand than ever....college is only necessary if the desire is to be a professional and go on for advanced degrees! Hair dressers make twice as much as teachers and have total autonomy!
Former career counselor in higher ed here: please seek career guidance from a qualified professional for your HS aged children. Should be a free service at a local college and time well-spent before deciding where those education dollars are to go.
Would love to know the name of the school in the Texas Panhandle.... this is where I live!
Just a FYI...we don’t ‘give our taxes’...it is not a voluntary action...it is a ‘requirement’ and ‘against the law’ to not pay them... but as they stand today, these ‘taxes’ are truly ‘taxation without representation’ as our government no longer represents ‘the will of the people’ (I believe that is why The Revolutionary War was fought and Our Country was created!)
We need a No Taxation Without Representation 2.0!
What happened to Americans? So passive, it's infuriating.
It has stopped honey! We are getting every dime back! I am right there with you on not working on the books anymore! Open your own business. So many ideas to what you can do depending on interests. Do something you Love! It’s all about bartering with neighbors or Farmers. We will trade for everything and not even need their rotten filthy money!!
The Constitution is "outdated" according to the criminals who are "in charge" of our Executive Branch for decades. They were "elected"--but who knows really how SECURE our elections have been for decades? I don't believe in "election integrity" anymore! GOD...SAVE US FROM OUR "LEADERS".
I am checking into becoming an "expat" in a country that is closely aligned with the USA for many years. I won't name it right now--still in the investigatory stages. Several business connections of mine have visited there several times and were enthralled with it. One of my former clients moved there for his retirement years as it is way more affordable than being retired here in the USA--plus the natives speak English as well as Spanish and they enjoy expat Americanos! It is an Hispanic country--so wish me well, friends! The main religion is Catholic--I have been an independent, evangelical Christian for most of my life--so I should be just fine--faith wise.
Unfortunately you still have to pay taxes on any income. Retirement or worklife…
@DEBORAH E. dds,
As someone with a doctorate (dds?) you might be enmeshed in system think, through indoctrination, no fault of your own. If you are open and choose to think outside the box, outside the indoctrination, to expand your thinking into what is actually true vs what you've been taught all your life (I was there, former hygienist in fact, kept putting off going back to dental school and actually couldn't be happier, but have had my eyes opened so again no fault, no foul), on the subject of taxes I have a book that will make you uncomfortable as you come to understand the truth. Cracking the Code: The Fascinating Truth About Taxation in America by Peter Eric Hendrickson. While he is not a lawyer, the legal scholarship in this book is top notch, irrefutable. I gave a copy to a retired federal law clerk (lawyer that worked for +25 years for a federal judge as a clerk, a coveted position in lawyer land, one that involves heavy research the judge/s themselves don't have the time to do while they are hearing cases) and his response after having skimmed -his word, a researcher skill- the book was, "I see his [author's] argument," which he did not dispute. He allowed he would have to go back to read thoroughly.
The truth is that most Americans do not have a federal income tax liability. It takes cojones to file a truthful return after which one should expect to get pushback from the big bully agency. But the truth is in 'their' code, U.S.C. Title 26. It is obfuscated beyond belief. Legalese. And once you know the truth and act according to the law 'their' (agency) tactics become obvious.
The book is *not* widely available. You might find it at online retailers but the price is liable to be exorbitant. You won't find it at brick and mortar locations. Forget the big retail outlets. Even my local independent bookseller told me it was out of print. Not true. I think it's in its 17th printing. (Suggesting the author does short runs, not hundreds of thousands of copies.) You must go to the author's website:
https://www.losthorizons.com
Info there for purchasing. Be forewarned there is no online payment portal. I suspect this has to do with the fact that the author has been targeted by the government to be made an example of. His fortitude to keep fighting the good fight is beyond admirable. To purchase you must put payment in a stamped envelope. I have ordered at least 4 times, all pre-pandemic. Excellent turn around time, better than expected. I recommended in the past year to someone who purchased and customer service/turn around experience was the same. The website is full of examples (the Bulletin Board) of regular folks who have filed truthful returns and gotten back $$ that they did not owe, typically everything they have paid in outside of their true liability (which is zero).
Myself, when I read the book I experienced major cognitive dissonance. My cells rebelled, they had been so programmed for a lifetime. I "fact checked" a dozen or so references, which all checked out, which exercise was tedious to say the least, tiring probably because I was already in that mental state of cognitive dissonance. I gave the benefit of the doubt on the rest, of which there are dozens if not >100. I didn't count.
Highly recommend. I can pretty safely say you don't have a federal income tax liability. If you don't want to "continue to give your tax dollars to support corruption" (I agree, corruption is baked in to that sector: read Whitney Webb's One Nation Under Blackmail) you owe it to yourself to become informed. I hope something here is helpful to you on your journey. Blessings.
This is the usual nutball tax protester theories about "income." There are ZERO actual tax attorneys or courts who will put up with these fringe theories.
Try it and you may end up in federal prison. Notorious tax protester Irwin Schiff pushed this same theory as to what constitutes "income" and died in prison for his idiocy.
yeah Elaine Brown ended up in federal prison for trying to not pay taxes. End up in prison and lose your license. Everyone knows the tax code says you don't have to pay taxes but the system doesn't care. Look at Joe Biden and Hunter flaunting their corruption graft and lucre. You think they are going to get any kind of justice? No. the system is now being helped by A.I. A.I. is progressing to the point they can read your mind with a cell phone and also place thoughts in your consciousness. I know it sounds completely made up. Look it up. It's on Quora. It's happening everywhere and the big Universityy research dept. are admitting it.
I personally know people that don't pay federal income tax. So much for me since I'm not at liberty to reveal names. I'm just a screwball nut job anonymous nobody on the internet. Ah well.
I agree that both nanotech and subliminal whatever-they're-blasting-us-with are a frightening proposition. Glad I'm not a spring chicken. Less earthtime left to have to deal with the worst of what they have planned. Though I'm sure that in the end God wins. I have no clue on the timeline. The trick, imho, is not caving to fear. It hovers, threatening, but I'm goofy enough (you already knew that) to name it, call it out and keep it at bay 98% of the time. Makes for a better life experience. ~The Cockeyed Optimist
Not true @Fred Bennett. You must do your homework. No argument here is based on the Constitution. That's precisely the tack/"nutball protestor theories about 'income' " that gets people into trouble. The law applied is all from the code, U.S.C. Title 26, which is completely separate from the Constitution. The code was "written by" the IRS (like laws are written by drug companies or insurance companies). It is their code. Are you aware that the code has a definition of "includes" and "including"? Do you know what the definition of "includes" and/or "including" is? You probably do. Most people can come up with a reasonable definition off the top of their head, one that would compare fairly to a dictionary definition. There is a common meaning in the English language. Why is there a definition of "includes" and "including" in the code? Do they assume we're stupid? (Well, ok, I grant that could be argued. Ugh. 🙄) The only reasonable answer is because there is a different / special legal meaning within the code. And indeed there is. Under certain circumstances the terms (new legal terms created by the code, NOT words: read again, terms, legal terms, *not* words) "includes" and "including" have a meaning quite different from the common meaning. Look at §7701(c), speaking of obfuscating legalese. If you can't determine on your own what the heck is meant by the legalese, the book Cracking the Code is extremely helpful getting around the obfuscation. Truly. I don't mind arguing intelligently, no ad hominems (of which "nutball tax protester" is one), no emotional outbursts, but you must become informed first. We have to start with the same knowledge base, even if you believe it to be false and are prepared to demonstrate evidence of its incorrectness. All due respect. Most anybody here reading Jeff Childers has a critically thinking mind. I suspect you are very much one of that crowd. This is a different area of investigation and, respectfully, you must dig in and learn before you reflexively respond to what you have seen in the past in the way of folks who have argued the Constitution with regard to tax law. Particularly, in case you are unaware(?) of the 1871 creation of the DC corporation which has nothing to do with the 1780s Constitution, and under which U.S.C. Title 26 was crafted. I encourage you to dig in. The recommended book is scholarly. If you have no scholarship with regard to the code, check it out, and feel free to fact check every single reference. When you bring evidence to rebut, I will sit and listen to your arguments. Until then, please refrain from using a broad brush to paint anyone informed about the code with disparaging characterizations. Thank you for your attention.
Concerning the chef. Perhaps the jabs, but I'm leaning more towards an Arkanside. Cleaning up loose ends. Note that many of the Clintons Arkansides weren't enemies, but people who knew too much. Recall 4 former bodyguards of Clinton's were killed at Waco, just one example. Of many. And knowing Mr. Obama's proclivities, well.....
Someone commented that the Clinton's chef also drowned in 2015 and that this chef did not swim and was out alone, in the dark without a life jacket. Never know what to believe any longer or if it is even worth trying.
WOW, you are right, Former Bush/Clinton White House Chef Drowned in 2015
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/07/flashback-former-bush-clinton-white-house-chef-drowned/
Yeah. Coincidence? Hmm 🤔
How many coincidences can happen before it is Mathematically impossible?
Freud said there are no coincidences
Anything can happen once.
If it happens twice it’s a coincidence.
If it happens three or more times it is no longer a coincidence.
Off topic, but still......
Q: How many buildings fell at free fall speed into their own footprints on 9/11/2001?
A: Three.
That begs the 2nd question. Why did the third building fall when only two airplanes hit one building each?
Which again begs a 3rd question. Who were the tenants in that mysterious 3rd building that was reported to have fallen five times that day before it actually fell at 5:24PM.
https://rumble.com/v13akws-911-bbc-news-reporters-phil-hayton-and-jane-standley-reports-wtc-7-collapse.html
Find the answers to those two questions, and you've come a long way.
At the time, 9/11/2001, I had almost 24 years experience as a full-time firefighter with considerable training and experience in building construction and why buildings catastrophically fail. I was not surprised when the three buildings fell. This summer an I-95 bridge collapsed in Philadelphia due to a fire. The bridge was constructed of steel and concrete, two substances generally considered by the general populace to be unaffected by fire. The bridge collapse was also predicable and no surprise. Predictable incidents occurring about the same time are co-incidents.
Building 7 had limited damage. So how did it fall, pancake style, just like tower 1 and 2? It takes weeks to install demolition charges in a 47 floor structure like that.
More than 90% of the structural steel in the WTC towers was never exposed to any fire or structurally compromised in any way. Every fireman or structural engineer on the planet should question those collapses, which all three defy the laws of physics.

Great aberration
and #fitchef, who should have known better, was out sans a lifejacket and was oddly wearing all black at night.
And a hat. Is that normal for paddle boarders to wear?
Swim cap maybe, if he was swimming before or after? Otherwise it does seem strange.
Exactly!
MOSES! Y'all are so good at this!
Same as surfing , you are,or should be attached to your board with an ankle line.
You did see this from today’s C&C, right?
“Chef Campbell’s Instagram page, hashtagged “#fitchef,” includes clips of his workouts, including Olympic swimming — for times. In his videos, Tafari practices backstroke and freestyle, records a 40-minute-long swim workout with his Apple watch, and benches an impressive 315 pounds. Ironically, from social media posts it appears Tafari accomplished a long-standing goal of becoming a confident swimmer around five years ago.”
Apparently he could swim quite well, unless something else was going on.
They interviewed a neighbor who said he could not recall anything like this ever before in the "pond" and that it was shallow water with no movement.
I say an expert swimmer in 8 ft of water could have recovered. He was probably gone when he fell from the paddle board. Dr. Dan Stock said that we would see many deaths as a
Result of Vax injury. Hard to listen to that then, and even harder to see it happening. IMHO
According to Dr. G Medical Examiner, he'd need to have water in his lungs to have drowned. Doubt they'll find that. Of course heart attack, ABV, is a real possibility.
Love Dr G! I watch her all the time!
I love her!! I just wish they would make news episodes!!
I've learned so much from Dr G. She just started in syndication on one of my local channels so I only recently saw her show (no cable for years). I wonder what she'd say about what's been going on.
In my small community we have an uptick in head on car collisions happening. Witnesses say all of a sudden the car veers into oncoming traffic with no warning. Several of the drivers have been younger people not older people. I am beginning to wonder if the blood clot induced heart attacks are happening out on the highways. Watch for frequency of strange accidents.
I thought about that possibility happening to a couple of people in Hollywood. Both alleged to have had sudden car crashes. Anne Heche (not sure of spelling) and Leslie Jordan.
It's either the jabs or arkancide. Useful idiots running out of their usefulness to tptb.
The jabs ARE a form of Arkancide.
So I searched “arkanside” on Brave and drew only references to Arkansas. I assume that “arkanside” is just a reference to the Clintons’ way of dealing w problem people, with a nod to Bill’s Arkansas origins.
Otherwise, help me out if I am getting it wrong. 😬
Try "arkancide" using
https://www.mojeek.com/
Mojeek is the only search engine which I have found, which will search through "off - MSM" news sites.
https://www.sgtreport.com/2023/02/arkancide-clinton-advisor-committed-suicide-by-hanging-and-shooting-himself/
Thank you for the search engine recommendation!
Wow thanks for that. I use Startpage and Qwant in addition to Brave and DDG when I am researching obscure topics, but always looking for alternatives.
DuckDuckGo is a much bigger search engine that also reports many results from non-MSM.
DDG is owned by Google... so.
Yeah... during COVID, DDG basically said "we promise to protect your privacy, but we're also going to 'protect' you from misinformation in search results".
And that's when I moved to Brave
BINGO. moved to Brave.
I did not know this. 😡
I'm going to try Mojeek!
Thank you for the new search engine!!
Arkancide has become a generic reference to a long list of Clinton associates who have died under somewhat mysterious circumstances. Such as being declared suicide with two bullet holes in the back of the head. That’s a true story.
It used to be 43, I checked again recently and its up to 56. Explains a lot of behavior by public servants, they are literally told they and their families will be killed if they don't go along. I wonder what they have on Kevin McCarthy?
😡
He has a wife and two children and possibly some grandchildren.
😡
Just a helpful tidbit, the “cide” ending/suffix refers to killers or the act killing:
a learned borrowing from Latin meaning “killer,” “act of killing,” used in the formation of compound words: pesticide, homicide.
Yeah, I figured that. I was trying to understand the “Arkan” part of the etymology.
The Clinton's began their reign of terror in Arkansas.
You’re spelling it wrong.
I agree with the Arkancide theory. It's time to clean up any mess (witness) to Michael Oblama 'issues' that would interfere with 'his' possible presidential run in '24. Like Joan Rivers said, "everybody knows he's a tranny." I believe she suffered from Arkancide as well.
On election night 2016 Hilary wrote an email to Huma Abedin: "If this SOB wins we're all going to be swinging from nooses!"
Interesting choice of words, considering it was just a political campaign...
Nonsense I’ll bet he had a cardiac event and drowned.
no need for a secretive hit when the Vaxx-boosting works so nicely
I was leaning toward the "Blood Clot Shot".
Maybe he saw something he shouldn’t have. Reports coming out say he couldn’t swim but here it is, proof the media lies! Why would they?
We’ll never be told the the truth, truth is whatever spin they want to put on it. Then they tie it up in a nice little package, and figure we’re all just a bunch of bugwits who’ll believe everything we’re told. If this is either jab or house cleaning related I don’t think they’ll lose any sleep over it. Human life means nothing to some people!
Bugwits with very short attention spans and no memory.
Anyone know what the Clinton body count is up to now? Last I heard it was something like 56...
It's much higher if you count both Bill and Killary's "contribution". The embassy in Libya happened on her watch, for one.
And all the color revolutions she helped to organize - like Syria...
Yes, indeed. The green revolution in particular. Victoria "Fuck the EU! We want Yatsieniuk!" Nuland wasn't alone planing the Maidan thing either. Her boss Killary got her hands dirty there too.
I'm leaning to maybe he was more than a chef... We will never know anyway.
yes, very difficult to drown by suicide
Check out this speech at the 13:07 mark. What do you think of it?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqNO97IPQ9c
Oh, Michael! Anyone ever ask who is Michael? Maybe Joan Rivers. But she’s dead.
Did #fitchef see that Michelle has a schlong?
"Michael and I" Who in the world is the Michael he is speaking of? Even if the transcript he was reading from may have said "Michael" any husband knows they had better use the correct pronunciation of his wife. Weird!
Thank you.
Clintocides may be contagious. They cases have certainly traveled much farther than AR.
May be it’s a new variation, Obamicide flu. There’s $360B that OBiden made available to make it happen. Ask JohnP.
This guy was probably blackmailing good ole Barry--and they rubbed him out--he did NOT "drown"! He could have had a SADS death that looked like drowning, of course!
Epstein's Chef named by one of Epstein's victims as the person that would have absolutely seen it all and then suddenly!
“Take care, brethren, that there not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God. But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called ‘Today,’ so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our assurance firm until the end[.]”
— Hebrews 3:12-14 NASB1995
“Encourage one another day after day....” Amen, Janice, Amen
Yep. And encourage one another to read God's word for us! Staying in His Word and talking with Him daily coupled with encouraging each other to hold fast to His promise keeps His own from ever falling away. What a blessing!
Amen.
My son got an excellent education in molecular biology/botany at OSU. Sadly it came with a unhealthy dose of liberalism, followed by marriage to a very liberal women; both are atheists and when COVID hit we parted ways. I miss my grand girls and pray someday they will develop their own values and want to have a relationship with me. God works in mysterious ways and I never give up🙏 Trade School, Hillsdale College or a good Christian College thar is fully vetted!
Sondy As soon as I post I am praying you son, his wife and their children find their way to the ever lasting hope and assurance in Christ. He can move mountains. He made all things in existence. He hears our prayers. Never give up!!
Thank you. I never lose Hope. Everything on His time not mine.
My husband and I were just discussing that in the car today. I hope your son looks at human biology and the miracle of his children and sees the creator in their complexity, simplicity and beauty. Life is truly a miracle.
My son and his wife are expecting in October. Their Dr has suggested anyone around the infant should take the flu vax. I'm a DMD so have a good understanding of our immune system and have read and resesrched vaccines widely. I'm opposed to taking the flu vax but may have to take a chance to be around my granddaughter. Thoughts?
There is an average of 80% chance it will be for the wrong strain of flu. There is a 100% chance it is not good for you and may make you more vulnerable to flu. You may experience a bad reaction to a useless vaccine. WHY would you do it? You are opposed to it. You have more care for that child than the pediatrician. Talk to your adult children and reassure then John. In love. I hope your children are courageous and protect their baby from... them.
Thanks for your comments, Raptor.
Lie. The flu vax doesn't prevent flu anyway. I know of several people who got it last season who had taken the flu vax. They got as sick as everyone else exposed.
I didn’t cave to that pressure with COVID, but it is a very individual choice. I had had a blood clot and PE after a surgery. Was not willing to risk it. I would be darn sure it doesn’t include the COVID shot,too. I had always gotten a flu shot but never again. My trust is gone.
Thanks, Sandy, for your comments.
My cousin took a Vax to be able to see her grandchildren. She just learned to walk again and is rarely able to see them with her new disabilities.
A stark reality.
This is so heartbreaking! I truly hope you will be united with your son and family very soon. Never give up!
We are all drawn to these comments by a guiding hand. 🙏
Amen!
Amen... been here for this conversation before... I need to be encouraged EVERY day
As do each and every one of God’s precious children…
Look up...
I chose you from the world,
to go and bear fruit that will last, says the Lord.
John 15:16
Amen🙏
Jeff, with regard to Musk changing Twitter's name to 'X' from your article yesterday, there are a lot of interpretations springing from Nimrod to Osirus, but the following is by far the closest one to the truth in my opinion:
The 'X' stands for combining angel and human DNA to reach godhood. It is straight out of the Book of Enoch and has to do with fallen angels and the Nephalim. It does not bode well. Everyone should take the time and watch this:
https://bitchute.com/video/Ph6qgsn5iqOj
I really cannot emphasize enough how important it is to watch and share that ^ video. It is crucially important information which exposes what we are facing.
Speaking of what we are up against, the adversary really does hold the world in the palm of his hand. These people are not human:
https://bitchute.com/video/KumEmvT7Yfyr
When the devil offered the world to Jesus, Jesus did not doubt that the world was his to give: Matthew 4:8 Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.”
Here's another creepy one. Look at her eyes! https://twitter.com/i/status/1683294431691124738
JEEZ! Has to be demon possessed or on antipsychotics. Now that I learned Sanpaku eyes I see it everywhere. Take a look at Adam Schiff. Many other psychopaths in Congress.
... Many other psychopaths in Congress....
True that! When I look at these walking cadavers like Pelosi, I wonder how anyone can vote for someone who is nothing more than a power-crazed zombie.
Vote?
I know. Laughable, right?
Some people actually DO vote for them. And proudly! 😕
Japanese call it SANPAKU eyes and believe it is a marker of psychopath or drug addict. In this case though I believe it is demonic possession!. Yes, Jesus didn't refute Satan's ability to give him the world. I believe the Bible says "be in the world and not of it". So we continue to pray and with Jeff Childers help we get to laugh at the absurdity of it. So happy I found Covid and Coffee. Jeff Childers you deserve a break! Happy vacation.
Saw that the other day and thought it was really creepy. Either she’s on drugs or something is definitely wrong with her!
While I do believe anything these days, I also know that video ( and voice) is easily altered. So I guess I believe everything and nothing at the same time.
What a weird time we are in.
The aide is definitely controlling the show. And looks demon possessed.
That was BIZARRE!
Does anyone remember Biden’s black hole eyes during his few campaign speeches? It was so creepy. Maybe it was drugs which enlarged his pupils or maybe he was showing the demonic inside? Who knows!
My God what did I just see? We used to call that the "cult stare".
Yikes! We've got some serious problems on our hands.
Wow.
Anne. Way to under sell it.
For those of us who can't access Twitter, if this is about a recent congressional hearing, who is the Representative speaking, and can you briefly describe the aide behind her? Then I can look at the video on C-SPAN.
Here it is: http://tritorch.com/degradation/CongressionalAideWiggingOutBehindCongresswomenJuly2023.mp4 [video]
Thanks! I wonder if it's her first time hearing her words being read by her employer in a hearing, as if they were the Representative's.
Interesting point... Yeah, maybe she's waltzing through lala land due to the euphoria of just that
Yikes!! Demon possessed or drug or both? 😳
I agree. And it’s also disturbing how few people realize that we are in a war of Good vs Evil, but try to ‘dumb it down’ by pretending it is something like an annoying gnat flying around.
ThAt, in my opinion, is the BIG problem. God’s Word says “IF MY people”........(will repent and turn from THEIR wicked ways).....
But instead, they bat the Truth away like a truculent teenager, unwilling to hear, to obey. So, deeper into this madness we go. Our arrogance on display and ‘in His face’. I wonder if He is as weary of us as we are with each other. Sigh........
100% Terrific comment!
A mouthful of wisdom.
I totally agree. Seems most are trying to stay optimistic or in denial even though things are spiraling fast.
How can the creation (devil) tempt Jesus (creator)? Jesus suffered as a human/man but was perfect and part of God, or the trinity, as some say.
I find it ridiculous that the devil would say to Jesus that he could have all the world knowing Jesus' Father created it and that Jesus would rule it one day.
Dumb devil...
I think he was telling Jesus that he would let him rule the earth without having to suffer.
Of course, the enemy is a liar and the truth is not in him, so he wouldn’t have done it, but Jesus was facing the worst suffering in all mankind, so I can understand how it would be tempting.
I’m very glad he held firm.
Yep, not as smart as he thinks he is…
I am very suspicious of Elon Musk. A one-stop App marked with an X.
“X is everything”. Not today!
Not feeling the X and black...it is unsettling for me. I am getting so sick of famous people and their fascination with black and dark symbolisms.
I have never tweeted and I will never "X" either.
Responding to this note made me realize that Elon has a thing for "X"
First SpaceX and now X...
Don't forget X Æ A-Xii 😏
(that's the real-life name of Elon Musk and Grimes’ baby)
And the Tesla model X.
On an unrelated (/s) note, I wonder what all this UFO disclosure talk is about?
Those transdimensional (pun intended) demonically possessed meat suits are going to preach a gnostic gospel that they put us here or engineered us. I'll bet a shiny new debased dime.
Those who are into new age spirituality, and dont believe in demons will fall for that.
I’m thinking ‘X’ like the illiterate man’s signature, and so identifying with everyman.
That was my thought too.
I just made a comment about Elon as well. Not about X, but more about why Space"X" won't succeed:

Thank you. For years I was indoctrinated into believing their lies. But I started waking up and suddenly I see that all their climate stuff is junk science based on ‘models’. Then I realized the ‘globe’ was a theory as well, based on models. Then I saw a meme. A meme!! Lol. Of Nixon, on a landline, talking to someone ‘on the moon’.......and I couldn’t stop laughing at how bad the propaganda was/is.......and I fell for it!!!!!😂😂😂😂.
“Get under your desks children!!! We are practicing nuclear drills....your desks will save you from the BOMB!!!”
Okie-dokie.
Fear is the governments main ingredient in their poison and they force it in IV’s when we’re children, but we drink it in through straws as adults.......willingly.
I read this the other day, and it’s true:
“I followed the science and found the money”.
The power of a meme!
Some folks make fun of memes, claiming that they are silly. But...every book about 'outer space' that I read growing up was nothing but memes...drawings!

yes, shortcutting to godhood; who needs God or some Jesus or prophet to facilitate the process? Plus Nature and cosmic energy are way too slow and unreliable as well. Let's Technify the new Tower to Above-the-earth Existence and Dominion

Bethel? What is that?
I gotta believe that if Ron Popeil was still around he'd be making serious bank on Popeils Pocket Defibrillator & Clot Buster.
Some of the vaxxed at my work have started having hemoglobin issues. It has been close to 2 years since their first shot. I think they thought they had dodge the bullet. A lot is based on things I see and hear. I think some are not as unaware of the clot shot issues as I previously thought.
What kind of hemoglobin issues?
I asked and they said the kind that shows lack of oxygen in the blood even though you have more red blood cells. Also can be due to clotting. I not sure. But the way they were looking at me and what they found on various medical sites wasn't comforting. Apparently a doctor confirmed that. I try to show calm and quiet concern. I know it's the vaxx as they never had any issues and are in great health. Unless they ask my opinion, I won't say. What good would it do?
I felt the same way with a long time friend. I finally had to just say it. She was thankful and decided to leave her doc for a naturopath/nutritionist. Now feeling better. Give her the McCullough protocol for ridding the body of the spike protein. We know that Genetic vaccines have no “off switch”; the continued Spike protein piles on more insult to injury. This is his protocol: “We are hopeful that 3 to 12 or more months of the triple combination, oral base Spike detoxification protocol can begin to catch up with and begin to dispose of the Spike protein so the body can heal itself provided no further injections are administered.”
Nattokinase 2000 FU (100 mg) 2X a day

I agree. In fact, the stringy noodles from Popeil Automatic Pasta Maker do look eerily similar to the stringy, fibrous clots...

...this non-existent UFO garbage is a ruse to draw attention away from the corrupt Biden crime family. Let's talk about things 'out of this world' to keep the focus off of the treasonous corruption that we call the Biden crime syndicate, and it's NEGATIVE consequences on this nation.
Just keep investing your time into reading God’s Word. All the answers to life can be found in the Bible. There are no UFO’s, there are no aliens from outer space. God lays out His creation in Genesis. His Word is truth and it’s unchanging.
Scripture debunks climate change.
Discussing the "climate" (weather and drought and fire) in CO with a nice couple; i mentioned that well, as we know the earth has basically been steadily and increasingly warming since the end of the last ice age which both women acknowledged as factual. Like if a house is burning and i light up a cigar and get blamed for the fire and nasty smoke.
IMO, History of nature confirms it. It has always happened. Man has nothing to do with it. Man today thinks he is God.
Fr. Seraphim Rose, in “Orthodoxy and the Religion of the Future,” about 50 years ago, has a chapter on how UFOs will become more important.
Yup! He foresaw it, may he rest in God's peace.
My husband and I saw 3 triangular UFOs one night coming home from Bible study. We dont obsess over what we saw. God knows. Does a UFO lead me to God? No. So who cares.
I just read an article which quotes Fr. Seraphim Rose (deceased Orthodox monk priest) and is spot on:
'Perhaps the most sobering aspect of Fr. Seraphim’s analysis is the eschatological significance that he attached to these aerial phenomena (see pp. 110-112), which he interpreted in light of yet unfulfilled prophecies of “fire from heaven” (Rev. 13:13) and “terrors and great signs from heaven” (Luke 21:11). In other words, the increased frequency of UFO sightings may be a sign that we’re approaching the end of time.'
There is also the issue of psyops and NASA, as well as the DOD, have a tremendous amount of technology and other sophisticated equipment that can be used to create distractions and images in the sky or anywhere. It’s often difficult to distinguish truth from lies but that is also a characteristic of the End Times. From my understanding, all the Biblical prophecies have been fulfilled.
Not all of Biblical prophecies have been fulfilled yet. The two witnesses haven’t, unless we are misinterpreting who the two witnesses are.
But there are so many things we have misunderstood due to the bad translations of the Word. So. I am
Watching
Waiting
Throughout history God has raised up witnesses to share His Good News. The tribulation will be no different; God will provide witnesses of His redemptive work to the very end of days. Until the Rapture, Jesus has commissioned every believer to be His witness. After the rapture of the church the Holy Spirit will empower 2 witnesses who will prophesy during the Tribulation. Jesus refers to them as “my two witnesses” indicating a special relationship to Him. (Rev. 11:3) They are not named in the Bible but some scholars have speculated they could be Moses and Elijah. That is speculation; God tells us everything we need to know, not every single detail of what’s to come. Trust Him!
Yes. We must all completely ignore it.
More smoke and mirrors, yes.
Fires caused by mirrors and the resulting smoke perhaps too
"Moving closer" to impeachment is code for "It will NEVER happen."
Jeff doesn't usually come across as a "sweet summer child" but I had to snort in derision when I read the last sentence "this Biden impeachment would seem to have more substantial, valid reasons than any of the previous cases. So hang in there. It’s coming." It may be coming, and the reasons may be valid, but that has nothing to do with getting rid of him. McCarthy - "this rises the the level of impeachment". Oh for the Lord's sake. I can't even.🙄
haha. my first good laugh of the day. THANK YOU.
here's my big laugh for the day yesterday. I spent the entire afternoon laughing and singing the song. I mainly come here for the comedic genius who is Jeff Childers!
enjoy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnOyMSEWNTs
OMG thanks I needed that.....at the RED HOUSE!!!! lmao!
Brilliant!!
Old, but absolutely a treasure!!
Hilarious!! 🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Seems to me they could go for treason, and execution. Nothing less has been committed. What's the law say regarding that? Oh wait. Yeah.
I’m thinking it would be more enjoyable to have a military tribunal.
Yep! Like the wrestlers of the WWE; bashing each other, smacking each other with chairs and the like but then you find they are eating together at Denny's and drinking together at the bar and shooting pool.....
"It's a big club and you ain't in it".
I think Jeff is a little optimistic regarding the down side for the Biden's in Camelot.
Later Jay
And I thought the Republicans were going to hold Kevin McCarthy to account if he wasn't supportive of the conservative agenda. Yeah! I'm with you. Will never happen!
They had all of the evidence against the Bidens years ago. Right, left, it doesn't matter. They all work for the central banks, big pharma, and the military industrial complex.
I think impeachment is inevitable. Evidence if corruption is too strong. No way they can bring all this out and not. Even McCarthy will have to despite not really wanting it.
Question is: are Dems going to write Biden off, or (more likely) cover up like monkey triplets and vote no impeachment no matter what and trust the media to spin it to minimize political damage.
One out every five people in America could die suddenly and Fauci would still be spouting Covid nonsense and Google would still be removing Covid “misinformation” - that’s our reality.
And Duke Health near my home in NC STILL has this false info on their website, assuring us that the shots are safe, even for pregnant "people." The delusion is strong. https://www.dukehealth.org/covid-19-update/covid-19-vaccine-and-pregnancy
I CRINGE every time I hear "pregnant people".
I find it insulting, somehow. I think I am not alone.
You are not alone
It’s insulting to our intelligence to think anyone other than a biological female can become pregnant. It’s just more indoctrination through the use of words.
Jeremiah 30:6-7 "Ask now, and see, can a man bear a child? Why then do I see every man with his hands on his stomach like a woman in labor? Why has every face turned pale? Alas! That day is so great there is none like it; it is a time of distress for Jacob; yet he shall be saved out of it."
"biological female" is redundant. 😊
They are trying to change society by making up new terms and redefining current words in our vocabulary. So very dystopian.
Even they would agree a uterus is needed, I think, it's just "hurtful" to call the women who think they're men women. It's better to hurt those allergic to absurd use of language.
It is insulting. It is also scientism which springs forth from the cult of dipshitism brought to you by the god of delusion and confusion. May his head be soon crushed under the foot of the King of Kings.
"cult of dipshitism"
🤣🤣🤣
That is fabulous
Yes that is pretty accurate 🤣😆
I get enraged when I hear stuff like this. I would never have considered myself a feminist, but I am getting to see the point of it given how women are being erased a little more each day.
Appears they want to erase all reference to sexual distinction - man/woman, mother/father - heck, "chest-feeding" ..... WHAT?!
A robot can (and will!) raise the children just fine, eh ?
Militant feminism is what brought us to all this ‘dipshitism’.
Same!!
You are not. It’s absurd.
Nope. Not alone.
Duke Health. One of the premiere health systems in the country if not the world and still pushing this BS. AT LEAST they say "breastfeeding."
I received cancer treatment tere in 2008, and I loved my compassionate oncologist. Then, in 2021, I saw a video of him recommending the shots. I haven't seen any indication that he's awakened to the truth. (He's no longer with Duke.)
🤬
The blanket excuse to young people dropping dead will forever be climate change. 🙄
Or eating meat, or sleeping too much or in the wrong position, or what was that one the other day...?? Oh yeah, sneezing violently.
Or setting your clock back an hour. Or gardening. Or experiencing joy. Or being aware of the existence of un-jabbinated people.
Drinking red wine, driving....
.....and the sheep nod their heads, in unison.
Too true. And if convenient for 'them', it will be pointed out, for example,
the 'vax status' of a person recently passed - ie an UNVAXXED person. But a 'vaxxed' person dies suddenly..... crickets.
This reality sucks bigly.
I am afraid that for as much as even all of us are becoming somewhat accustomed to these previously bizarre clotting and sudden death scenarios, we are raising a whole generation of medical students and new doctors who are “growing up,” so to speak, in their training, where these previously UNHEARD OF events are now commonplace and simply blamed on bad genetics or bad luck or overexertion.
I remember just a few decades ago that anyone in their 20s-30s who had a heart attack was using cocaine, until proven otherwise. Because heart attacks just don’t happen in young adults. Now, even that no longer gets a hearing, at least that I’ve heard about. But maybe someone who actually works in an ED can enlighten us.
And anytime a young woman had blood clots, there would have been a massive search for why. Especially a woman who wasn’t pregnant. Because blood clots don’t just happen.
Unfortunately the docs who are coming out of school and residency over the last three years and going forward (1) haven’t gotten the real hands on bedside teaching and experience of prior generations because, well, germs and (2) are seeing as common what up until Dec 2020 was absolutely rare and not common whatsoever.
God, rescue us and open eyes and bring forth the truth tellers who will speak the truth to these new docs and students. And protect the truth tellers.
Actually, it has been going on for quite some time. We don't trust any MDs under 50 unless we KNOW the medicine they practice, especially if they work in an academic setting where "new medicine" is NOTHING like medicine! Our mid 30s MD daughter informed her MD father, that his medicine practice was antiquated, "we do things differently now...." My husband
(her father), is one of the most brilliant physicians I've ever known, not because he's my husband! I've worked with hundreds of them in the past! He can talk medicine so fast around her she gets dizzy! When he recommended Ivermectin, HCQ, Vitamin D3 and Zinc for her bad covid in December of 2020 she laughed, "all those studies are ancedotal." The EXACT same phrase repeated ad infinitum on msm and at the academic institutions of medicine throughout the US! Yet, when he asked her why Uttar Pradesh in India went from massive covid to zero in short time by giving everyone Ivermectin, vitamin D and zinc she refused to believe it, despite proof. She was out of work for 3 weeks and literally let them shoot her up with the first vax while she was still recovering😵💫😵. No, medicine is not the same! Medical schools and residencies are filled with under performing diversity admissions and it is glaringly obvious to the older professor/MD attendings! LOW expectations. They are being dumbed down even in medical school! Residency selection is based on diversity... used to be they wanted the best and brightest. Make that make sense...
That’s so discouraging and sad 😕
It is worse than that! It is infuriating!
Also, yes!!
It's already started. I have two nephews in the med school and residency pipeline and you hear them say things like, "well, we're just more aware of these issues now."
That is truly horrible. I don’t even have words.
Saying that is basically saying that young adult women used to have blood clots but apparently nobody, including themselves, happened to notice any symptoms. That is incredibly arrogant.
And it also is to say that we just now happen to be noticing that young adults are dropping dead for no reason, whereas up until two and a half years ago, any young adult’s sudden death - especially if a celebrity or sports figure - would have been scrutinized backwards and forwards six days til Sunday, or whatever the saying is.
Bronny James just had a cardiac arrest while practicing. I'm waiting to see how LeBron reacts.
Will be interesting to see LeBron's reaction. IF what we suspect happened, happend, he got played (pardon the pun) and his child is the one to suffer for it.
Yeah that’s just a whole other level of gaslighting 😡
Funny that we're just noticing it more when it seems we're (society) is doing its best to ignore it.
Saw a 16yo healthy male with moderately severe stroke in the ER the other day. Yeah, that sort of thing just happens, part of growing up...
That makes me want to say words I don’t say. I mean,…..
Are you allowed to do the {previously customary} work up for such an unusual phenomenon? I mean, in past times, up until a few seconds ago, doctors would have been soiling themselves if they saw something like that, and there would be case reports and grand rounds and that sort of thing, trying to figure it all out.
How do you handle discussing w family? Do you ask about injection status? Any ability to suggest they may want to avoid thrombotic instigators such as well, airplane flights and certain injections?
I think they ignore it and say "well, it's just one of those super rare cases. Just like the one yesterday"
But at least until recently, rare cases still got evaluated in attempts to understand why they happened. For education and also for things like prevention of future recurrences. 🙄
Don't doctors do ANYTHING useful anymore?
Wow 😳😡
My daughter's friend is now a PA. She said "The sun causes skin cancer. Why would I go out in the sun if it could kill me?"
On a positive note, more doctors are now looking into the actual studies and necessity of numerous vaccinations and not blindly taking recommendations.
Those are the same people spraying themselves with toxic chemicals to "protect" themselves from the sun...
I'm sorry but you cannot tell me "oh I was in the sun too much as a kid in the 60s, that's why I have skin cancer"...when for 60 years you've sprayed chemicals on your skin ...no, it never could be the sunscreen 🙄
One of the red pilling side effects in my home is zero sunscreen and zero shots now. Period. I'm actually thankful for lockdowns/covid bc it woke me up!
Because God made the sun, and he surely made it for our good benefit. Maybe it is something man made (look at seed oils and what Tucker Goodrich has to say) that is causing the cancer.
And yes, more doctors looking at the evidence. I personally know two pediatricians who have done a 180 on vaccines.
God made the sea too, that doesn't mean you can't drown in it... getting repeatedly sunburned is clearly going to be bad for you. But the idea of never going in the sun at all because it will "kill you" is just ridiculous.
Yep.
Repeated blistering sunburn is bad.
Normal routine exposure to bright sunshine in the middle of the day was known to be good for us until about 30 years ago. Our family rarely burns since eliminating seed oils (corn, soy, sunflower, safflower, canola, etc) from our diets. My spouse who previously could not mow grass without careful skin protection no longer has to use such measures.
It’s not the sun.
I've also read that taking Vitamin D helps in preventing sunburn. Obviously if one is in the sun and your skin feels like it is burning, get in the shade! Also interesting about removing seed oils, I'm adding that to the to-do list!
Seed oils are very bad for lots of reasons. Check out Tucker Goodrich for more information.
They oxidize (go bad) at body temperature, so why would we want our cells (which are little bags whose walls are composed of fat - whatever kind of fat we are eating) composed of that?
They are highly inflammatory.
They therefore are at the root of most modern diseases: macular degeneration, coronary artery disease, obesity (and this has absolutely nothing to do with their caloric density), arthritis, skin cancer, dementia, non-alcoholic fatty liver which probably half of Americans have because half of Americans are insulin resistant/pre-diabetic or outright diabetic (Type 2).
Once you learn, you will be able to make your own mayonnaise and salad dressings, and find peanut butter and other things that don't contain these poisons. Just takes lots of label reading and the willingness to spend a little more at the grocery store. But, as someone once told us, pay the grocer or pay the doctor.
yes, immersive generational progressivism and shifting; expert at this; birth control paved way to trans-meds and surgeries; New Deal projects pave way for American Rescue and Inflation Reduction; everywhere all the time never resting PROGRESSIVE crafting of humanity
Man Who Drowned On Obama Property Was Their Personal Chef.” As a former surfer I can say that when you fall off your surfboard or paddleboard, the first thing you do is find & grab the board. Among other things, that is your absolute best 'life preserver'. This gentleman was healthy, smart, athletic etc. so if he didn't / couldn't , grab the board, he had another very serious, immediate, issue going on. All you need is one arm on the board to keep your head out of the water,. There were NO waves where he was to hinder him.

The clot shots are doing their job quickly and quietly
Prayers up for Tori Kelly, I could not imagine having to deal with something so serious at such a young age. Thankfully she's a Christian so she knows God is in control.
The song Jeff posted by her is beautiful but it brings up something I have been struggling with. Should we be singing praise songs written by Hillsong? Every time we sing a Hillsong song at church they gat paid royalties. It's pennies for the church but when 100 thousand churches are singing "What a Beautiful Name" it adds up.
Hillsong has serious doctrinal and ethical issues. Can we enjoy their praise music (which appears to be theologically sound in most instances) and should we be sending them money? Bethel is even worse and it's the same situation. Probably half of the songs sung in contemporary worship have a Hillsong or Bethel connection. Seems like a problem to me but it's not discussed.
I agree Jeff C; I’m on the same page regarding Hillsong and Bethel. As you said, their doctrine is not accurate or doctrinal.
You nailed it with one word. Contemporary
Contemporary worship service is SO part of the Christian experience today I’m not sure one can even find a traditional service (singing old church hymns). My church has a contemporary worship service that a few of my friends make fun of. Not because of the music but because of the way it is sung. It is a complete distraction to what the intent is for singing; the worship minister can’t carry a note. I believe the whole theory of singing during a religious event is to raise the endorphins; to help you receive the Word. It works whether you’re in a Roman Catholic church hearing a Gregorian chant or Ave Maria, a Protestant church singing about our Savior, or Taize service which is a more meditative style of sung worship. HOWEVER, now that some say there is a royalty charge for singing some songs, I’ll have a think about that. Okay, done. If I’m a leftist and non-believer and you want to sing my song, you’ll have to pay me.
Yes, there is an agreement for royalty fees among churches so that the song authors get paid (because "do not muzzle the ox that treads the grain", etc). Worth bearing in mind if you don't approve of the songs or their authors.
Jeff C, I am Catholic and while we have sung some Hillsong songs at our church, I am unfamiliar with the controversy to which you refer. Can you fill me in?

The Word of Faith thing is bad enough, but that second article gives you a little more to go on about the music itself.
There are some good things that come from Hillsong, but there are questionable/concerning things as well. There have also been several very public scandals around their leadership that should be somewhat concerning. Yes, they're big and people are people, but ... you don't seem to see as much in other large denominations/churches. (and yes - they have issues as well - sin is equal opportunity :/ )
Thank you for posting this. And Bethel is part of the New Apostolic Reformation movement which is really problematic.
Generally songs from Hillsong and Bethel are biblical IMO as they don't get into Word of Faith or NAR theology and tend to stress God's love and holiness. I don't have a problem with that. What I do have concerns about is paying royalties to these churches which we must do if we sing their songs in church as the songs are copyrighted. WoF and NAR are not biblical, yet our royalty payments support churches that spread it.
Fascinating. Thank you, Peter. We have discussions about the use of music in worship in service of the Catholic Mass all the time so it is interesting to know that other denominations and faith traditions have these tensions too.
I totally agree.
Ahhhhh......so THAT is how they are able to use the word "effective".
"Safe" will be argued over for the foreseeable future (although WE all know), but the ' effective ' aspect ..... that is clearly out the window.
But 'effectively' causing 'em to drop like flies - NOW you're on to something. Quickly and quietly..... like an assassin.
I don’t know if it’s been posted here yet, but I just saw news headline: LeBron James’ son, Bronny, 18, suffers cardiac arrest during USC basketball workout. !!
Yep, and wonder if LeBron will call out big pharma. After all, he already has money AND it's his son.
Yes, but he has proven to have no backbone.
😭😭😭😭
Yay! Finally! 😁
ETA just saw your note about vacation, enjoy your well deserved time off! Don’t feel obligated to post, make sure you rest and recharge! 🙂
I missed it. Where? I’m still learning this platform, especially the note feature. 🤷🏻♀️
It's in the portion in italics, right above the title of today's post. The portion where he gives a summary of what is included.
🤦🏻♀️The part I skipped today to get to the meat. I know better!
It’s always on that one time you skip, right?? 😆😁
Thank you Anne! I was responding to another comment on yesterday’s post so just now saw Janice’s question.
Those have to be foam concrete blocks!
Right!?! I don't even pick up a dropped pencil without bending my knees!
One of my pet peeves in tv shows and movies these days is when actors are carrying around obviously empty coffeeshop cups from shops like Starbucks. Or even worse, the holders carrying 4 cups of coffee supposedly they they have brought to share with friends. But you can tell there is nothing in the cups because they hold the cups or holders as if they were lifting air. They don’t even try to be realistic. In the video it was the same thing. The ladies obviously carrying near weightless blocks.
I have a picture of me at ten holding a giant Styrofoam "boulder" above my head at Universal.
You can tell the propagandists are trying very hard because that Ukrainian woman didn't have a paper bag with French bread sticking out of the top.
EXACTLY what I thought! LOL.
They need a remake of the Ghostbuster song...Clotbusters.
There's something strange
In your chest today
Who you gonna call?
(Clotbusters)
If there's some weird pain
And it don't feel good
Who you gonna call?
Clotbusters)
I ain't afraid of no shots
I ain't afraid of no clots
If you're spinning around
With fog in your head
Who can you call?
(Clotbusters)
An invisible spike
Sleepin' in your head
Oh, who you gonna call?
(Clotbusters)
I ain't afraid of no shots
I ain't afraid of no clots
Who you gonna call?
(Clotbusters)
If you're all alone
Don't forget yor phone
You may need to call

You or somebody needs to make a video! Include all the news headlines of died or injured suddenly.
Brilliant!!!
Outstanding!
Very clever. Thank you for the laugh/cry.
Oh that is awesome!! Very clever 😆
(And to be clear, I’m not being gleeful or glib about the people who are injured and suffering, but I an more than happy to mock the people who have pushed and continue to push these shots as safe and effective 😡 They are liars and tools).
If the Republicans do not impeach him what is their point in the political spectrum??
Their point is to cash their sweet, sweet checks and get elected again to continue the grift.
the New Ben and Jerry's flavor: imPeachMint real fruit and natural flavor--but it'll have Trump on the label and imPeachMint II with nuts. My State's Congressional clowns carried the Articles; Jason Crowe in Act 1, and Joey Nguese in Act 2; what self-acclaiming rising in the ranks scum they both are
That's why I think they will. How could they not? The evidence is really strong undeniable.
