Governor DeWine defends Haitian Invasion, badly; pervert Dr. Varma gets corporate media's attention, a little; Routh reporting still raising eyebrows; two great last-minute election changes; more.
Vivek just did a community event in Springfield because he spent a lot of time there growing up. Springfield residents got a chance to say whatever was on their mind. Vivek is a rising star in the Republican party, and I think he's great. He's one of the clearest communicators of conservative values that I've ever seen.
Ah... yes, DeWine is a swine... but I had the impression that Vivek was going to run for office, not to be given a seat by a skidmark like DeWine, who, BTW has deep financial ties to the animals of Haiti...
If you are talking about Vivek Ramaswamy, it should be noted that he was born to two citizens of India, which, according to the writing of Emer de Vattel in his Law of Nations in 1758, doesn't qualify as a natural born citizen, nor a candidate for the presidency.
Ramaswamy was raised in Cincinnati, Ohio. Growing up, Ramaswamy often attended the local Hindu temple in Dayton with his family. His conservative Christian piano teacher, who gave him private lessons from elementary through high school, also influenced his social views. He spent many summer vacations traveling to India with his parents. In high school, Ramaswamy was a nationally ranked tennis player.
Ramaswamy attended public schools through eighth grade. He then attended Cincinnati's St. Xavier High School, a Catholic school affiliated with the Jesuit order, graduating as valedictorian in 2003.
In 2011, Ramaswamy was awarded a post-graduate fellowship by the Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans, which he used to attend Yale Law School. At Yale he befriended fellow Ohio native and future U.S. Senator JD Vance. He earned a Juris Doctor in 2013. In a 2023 interview, Ramaswamy said that he was a member of the campus Jewish intellectual discussion society Shabtai while a law student.
Hilarious, he checks all the subversive indoctrination boxes and then some. The only good point in that resume is the Christian piano teacher.
So either he was groomed for WEF-style power and revolted, or he's now being disingenuous. I hope it's the former but that fact he doesn't talk much about it is a concern.
Raised Hindu - one of the most bigoted religion on the planet and the antithesis of Christianity. Hinduism teaches it's the divine birth right of some groups to subject others to their authority.
Multiple Summer trips to India - perfectly normal suburban upbringing, didn't you guys spend your summers this way too?
Ranked tennis player - fame at an early age that brought him to national attention that most would never dream of
Educated by Jesuits - need I say more?
Soros fellowship - LOL
Yale Law School - Hmmm, just like Skull and Bones members George Bush and John Kerry. Sure it was just a coincidence.
Law Degree - Where he learned how to manipulate people using emotional persuasion techniques as that's the stock in trade. Just about the only thing worse would be a Psychology double major.
Jewish intellectual discussion society Shabtai - So were they studying Old Testament scripture? Haha, no it's another Yale secret society hell-bent on destroying western civilization through social justice activism and Bolshevism. Seems like a funny place to be particularly not being Jewish (until one goes down the Hindu-Judaism rathole that is, they have much in common).
I doubt there is a more groomed individual on the planet than this guy. So did he revolt against everything he was taught, or is this all an act? Time will tell but be on guard.
This has made me skeptical of Vivek. Plus he made millions by selling his pharmaceutical company that didn't produce a product and he always says what we want to hear.
Ignorant. Vattel has nothing to do with American law (which didn't exist yet, and was based on British common law, not French civil law.)
The US Supreme Court explained in detail in US v. Wong Kim Ark (1898) why this view was wrong, and held that anyone other than a child born to foreign diplomats is automatically a natural born citizen. (Wong Kim Ark was born in San Francisco to Chinese parents who never were citizens.)
Wasn’t Kamala born in Canada? Or in the US to Canadian parents? If so, that disqualifies her per your linked document. No?
I was born in 1957 in Minnesota to Swedish parents. I was not given automatic citizenship, but gained citizenship in 1958 when my parents were naturalized. It’s unclear when birthright citizenship started- granting citizenship to US born babies of non citizens. Do you know?
Where one is born is irrelevant. It is to whom one is born that determines natural born citizenship. Seriously, just read jayweller.com/natural-born-citizen-defined/ and you'll understand.
If Obama had cared about being a natural born citizen, he could have acquired it by admitting that Frank Marshall Davis was his real father, as photographic evidence indicates.
I heard a talk with Vivek and Bret Weinstein awhile back. Got a good impression of Vivek through that long discussion .... Excited about the unity coalition building ...
Steveo-actions speak louder than you seem to believe-trump is doing more to keep us out of the clutches of the WEF and NATO and the WHO than anyone in our history. He’s literally being hunted down like prey for his actions. It will be a miracle if he makes it to Election Day. And I believe in miracles.
I’m tired of those who keep saying Trump supporters are basically worshipping (some actually accuse just that) Trump. Following him like puppies, etc.
MAGA folks I know are intelligent, smart, savvy, informed, patriotic, & FED UP with politicians, government bureaucrats, government bureaucracy (agencies, departments, commissions, etc. who rule like czars with a disdain for We the People.
One could get the idea they hate this United States of America considering all they are doing to dismantle her. Destroy her. Let me count the ways…… I would take up waaaaay to much space here.
Enough is Enough!
Trump was the first person to stand up & push back after years of pandering promises by so many (to get our votes).
If you care a whit about this “city is n a hill” you’d quit sowing seeds of discord & be about helping to save us free m the tyranny of communism/marxism.
People are free to worship, support whomever they like I just wish they'd all see the game for what it is. When that happens and people put the repub/demo bs aside, that's when we get our country back.
I can see how the word “hunted” seems sort of excessive, but right before I wrote this comment I read this morning that a whistleblower at the dept of homeland security reported that there are 5 separate known groups intent on assassinating Trump, two are US bases and three are foreign based.
Well of someones truly being hunted it wouldn't be excessive whether it's you or Donald Trump. Must be the 5 worst hunters money can buy? Or maybe President Trump is like some sort of super hero evading every attempt?
All the WEF’rs populate the DEMOCRAT Party. Just look at how well they follow Klaus’ orders to destroy the country from within. Inflation, borders, freeze on oil/gas production, Green New Deal using ‘Inflation Reduction Act’ cover, if they get the chance, they will order a CARBON fake tax, like Canada the Marxist country.
From Forbidden News substack: “Nobody knows about the upcoming meeting, starting tomorrow (today, Saturday) at the United Nations in New York City, where the OBrandon Regime apparently intends to cede United States' Sovereignty to the World Economic Forum, that has been in control of the UN since 2019.
We've been hearing about the New World Order for a long time. Here it is.
Welcome to having a life with the same rights as a Chinese citizen.
OBrandon signed the Executive Order for the North American Union in January 2023, literally for the purposes of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. It says so, in the third paragraph.
So, it's time to let some Haitians sleep on your couch, because men are women and you're living on Stolen Land and this is not your country and you will eat the bugs.
My concern is that right now, there is no telling how our Republican Senators will vote, whether they'll defend us from this insanity or throw us under the bus.
I'd rather hold the election, see who gets in, and then have the senate take this awful treaty and tear it up.
I know about it! Interesting how this evil is happening just before the election......maybe not so interesting. I also know that the O'Biden admin, and all the Demo governors, are giddy to hand over our sovereignty to these despots........sitting at the table with Varma, et. al.
I wholeheartedly agree Steveo! Not enough American citizens do their research, and deep dives on these “great” people running for office. I do. And, I will not vote of ANY of them, including Trump-Mr. OpErAtiOn WaRp SpEeD…a death knell to America. Like surveillance? Like genocide? Like CBDC? Trump and Vance are your guys.
I will not put my name on ANY ballot, not that it matters (I voted for Trump twice).
I’m sure they’ll be fine with AIPAC, and Big Pharma😉!
That’s Miss ahole to you! If stupid people didn’t exist, ((they)) wouldn’t have gotten this far. True sense and discernment is definitely at a minimum these days!
The Republicans themselves went after DeWine legislatively during cv because he wouldn't open up the state. If any one is unaware, Ohio was one of the first states to lockdown courtesy of DeWine. Wuhan, if also unaware, is a "sister city" of Columbus Oh, the state's capitol. It would be very fascinating if someone dug into state foia's to see if that relationship was playing out in DeWine's cv response. On the eve of the Republican's legislature that would have forced the state ro completely open eliminating the still in place restrictions, DeWine got rid of all remaining cv policies that were impacting the state. There's more but I'll leave it there.
How did DeWine get elected? That's a really good question. His campaign took donation money before legally being allowed to. No one seemed to care about that. Also, if unaware, DeWine and his wife Fran go to Haiti to do ministry. Anyone think it strange that this is happening in Ohio? Anyone think it's strange he's defending all this? Don't think so. My in-laws both voted for DeWine. When I shared the boat load of doo doo about him sometime after the election - including his control over the monoclonal antibody treatment in our state that people had to go out of state to receive - the comment was "wow, I wish I would have known, I wouldn't have voted for him". No words.
I think Springfield was the small city chosen for a reason because it's happening in other small cities. Many are looking into DeWine and Haitians now.
Demand LaRose clean the voter rolls and cross check voter SS with other states. He won't buy the software to do it. However, some non profits are working on it.
Oh so many people reflexively vote Democrat because their family was always Democrat, they've always voted Democrat, they still believe the Democrats are the good guys, blah blah blah. That removes all responsibility for doing one iota of research about what the Democrats have been/are doing. No knowledge needed.
Also, correct me if I am wrong, but the very first trip Biden took after being installed into his office was to visit his best buddy billionaire Wexner in Columbus. More dots to connect.
Thanks for posting - wasn't aware. Ironic that Biden is obsessed with cancer - the reason he went to OSU''s Wexner's medical center - given the turbo cancer situation, moon shot bs. I wonder if Wexner ever gifted him any Victoria Secret products. Wouldn't it be interesting to slso uncover if Wexner gifted Victoria Secret product to Epstein's escapades on the island when he went there?
I would only say that JD is young and is open to hearing alternative views. He has been nothing but an asset in this current campaign doing most of the (always hostile) publicity hits.
100% agree. And he can take the scrappy shit they throw at him as well. His Mamaw taught him well. And he learned many valuable lessons that the silver-spoon class never learn. He is valuable.
And, JD correctly points out that the Deep State will blow-up the bond market if Trump makes it into office. JD is sharp. At around the 9:15 in this interview. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_G_rTeDjJs
Israel first over terrorists isn't a bad policy. The difference is Trump (and probably JD) believes in "peace through strength"
The Abraham Accords shows that. Trump has been anti war for many years, which is why Chaney and the Bushes don't like him. He's been very vocal in opposition to them and their policies, lo g before running for office.
Remember Every War was ONLY for the Children!!! So they could have as many as they wanted!! 385,000 missing illegal children right now. And that’s just the tip of the Iceberg!
Touchy subject... Unless you join that side of policy, you get nowhere. I am surprised Vivek hasn't been completely cancelled. I really like him, but unless a person is "God first," I can't give them my support. In fact, there is noone in DC that has my support. They are godless and chaos wreaking showboaters. Even the best of them speak sideways and nobody at their level gets punishment. It's for show and they are the DC actors.
I do not believe our votes count and like Schwab said, they already know the outcome.
Remember that God uses pagans to accomplish His Will: read all about King Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel… especially what happened after he “got too big for his britches.” I compare Donald Trump to Nebuchadnezzar and Kamala Harris to Jezebel. Pray about it, ask The LORD, God Almighty, to reveal the best choice
God selected initially godless people for greatness all throughout the Bible. Saul/Paul comes to mind as one of the worst before he had his road to Damascus experience. God gets you attention one way or another.
Read of the many instances when God used Babylon, the arch-pagan nation of the day, to punish His chosen folks for their apostasy and unrepentant sinfulness.
And He expects us all to use the benefits He’s given us. We can’t sit back and paint everything with a grey brush and do nothing and expect Him to preserve our freedoms. He holds us responsible for our part. Government isn’t church. Yes, it would be great if we had more godly representation in DC, but we have to vote for the one more closely aligned to Biblical values. You can’t just sit home saying, “They’re all bad and I’m not going to participate in it.” That’s shirking responsibility.
Exactly! The quote often attributed to Edmund Burke has never been more applicable: “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” I think the whole idea of the problem being so enormous that we can’t do anything about it (WEF, deep state, Illuminati, etc.) has been promulgated to keep us from trying. We always have to remember Esther, Gideon, Wilberforce and others raised up for such a time as this.
True... When we vote, they are just replaced with others of the same mold. How is voting going to help? The bush is gray as the world is. It is wicked. We need to be a light for others.
God has given us much and voting isn't one of them. Although I have always voted and will play their game in the future. We can't beat them, only God can.
I came to the conclusion that man has given us the illusion of having a voice and freedom. I am thankful because it is better in the USA but we are not free. Only in our hearts and minds we are. We never truly own our land, and more recently were compelled to take a polluted potion. We have to pay the gov permission to get married, fish and hunt, travel, buy and sell, and drive a car... probably not much different than 2000 years ago.
I have accepted we live in a sinful environment. History repeats. It is not defeat, but the reality of how the world works.
I am thankful and want to please God and not man. There is joy in that and giving thanks for each beautiful day. Why are we here? What is our goal?
Matthew 9:37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; 38 therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.”
I don’t vote for evil. People are being deceived. I can’t put my name on any candidate. It’s a complete joke…just like Operation Warp Speed. How soon people forget about that! And, innocent people are dying every, single day.
Not voting is tacit approval of what we have now. The jab mandates came with the current administration. The trans ideology and medical follow-on promoted in our schools and around the world was put on steroids with the current administration. Killing human preborn babies up to the moment of birth - who could otherwise survive and thrive outside the womb with medical care - is a major platform of the current administration; an estimated 13,000 babies fall into that category. Resurrecting and promoting racial bigotry is a hallmark of this administration through promotion of envy and false narratives in schools, colleges, government agencies, and bribing corporations with government grants. Importing and dumping huge numbers of unassimilated people on small cities to benefit local politicians and companies came with the current administration. Continued promotion of the covid jabs anyone 6 months and older is at the direction of the CDC under the current administration.
If you do not vote against it, you actually ARE voting for this evil.
Exactly: not voting IS voting for this evil. In perpetuity, too, because Democrats are seeking to control the entire government, in which case the abortion rules will be up to and after birth in every state of the union. Forever.
You are still to vote with best option because NOT voting is complacency. Yes… God in control, but we must..MUST act on our responsibility. There will not be a perfect human. Only Christ! But until we go with those that align the most with Gods word
What makes the Best Movies? The Actors! We don’t know who is for our Country and who isn’t at this point. Because of the Fact we do not know who are Actors and who aren’t. YET!!! Trump is busy catching illegal votes right now. The Dems have Warehouses full of Ballots waiting for 11-5. The White Hats Military is blowing them up as fast as they stake one out to see what’s inside. So right now it’s especially hard. Don’t count anyone in or out yet. Observe and Pray! And DO NOT FEAR!!
I don’t object to the belief that Israel has a right to defend herself. I do object to the belief that it’s my duty, as a US taxpayer, to help her defend herself. My country should come first but it does not.
I’ve thought about this a lot. I tried to boil it down to something small, like my friends and my family. If my family was constantly under attack and desperately needed money and weapons to defend it, I would do everything in my power to make that happen. In the midst of all that, if my best friend came to me and said they were having the same issue, I would certainly feel empathy for them, but I would not help them. My family would receive my time, attention and money. My family’s survival is more important to me than my friend’s.
In the same vein, my country’s survival is more important to me than Israel’s. And it should be that way. I understand they’re the only democratic country in a place ruled by Islam. I understand they’re our ally. But we need to focus on our country and making it whole and well again. That’s where our focus should be.
GG, you've described my "circle the wagons" strategy to "attacks." Smallest units are protected first (self, family) and then larger units as resources increase (extended family, friends, neighbors). I've never understood why we're more interested in helping other countries when our own is such a mess. We're wearing blinders to our own vulnerabilities and risk of demise.
You could apply that viewpoint to all the BS around viruses as well. Each of us making the best choice we can for ourselves & family, not making wellness decisions based on our impact on others. Informed decision making is paramount.
More than that. Trump now agrees with Nikki Haley that Israel is more important than America. A big drop from 'America First'. Total Neocon subversion of the American public.
BFM. Wait. When did Trump say Israel is more important than America? In what context did he say it as well? Only giving room for manipulation as to what he actually said. Not by you. But by the media or whoever reported it.
He didn't say Israel is more important than America, but he may have implied it. Since he did say it was as important, which is still wrong and very problematic.
The hope (and I admit it's a hope) is that it's not a policy reversal and just a play for votes and funding.
Trump remains the only President since Reagan who didn't rubber-stamp the neocon agenda of endless wars, so there is a track record there. Bottom line is this, who calls the shots in the US/Israel relationship? Trump remains the only serious politician who isn't an obvious Israel patsy. He recently reiterated that the US will never take any Gaza "refugees". That may seem anti-Palestinian but it really isn't. Israel's end goal is drive them out of the Middle East and to dump them all on the US and Europe. Trump has made clear that won't happen on his watch, which is Netanyahu's end goal.
I wonder how much longer the Israel first is going to play. I see Gen Y posting constantly about who owns our media, music, pharma, education & how many have dual citizenship and it’s not looking good for Israel.
Maybe it’s the fact that our young people were not raised by tv preachers.
All I know is that the apocalypse is upon us and some people don’t look good in full daylight.
Sadly, the young people are indoctrinated in the public schools. The public schools are very pro-Hamas, anti-American, anti-Constitution, pro-LGBTQIA+, pro-transitioning, pro-climate change theory, pro-communism, etc., in CA.
I don’t know about you, but I’m old enough to remember the PLO’s suicide bombings in the 80s. They bombed public transportation systems, weddings, cafes, everywhere indiscriminately. October 7th, Hamas kidnapped (and killed) hundreds of innocents. Hamas hides amongst citizens. From the river to the sea means to wipe Israel and all Israelis off the map. I don’t know how you can support a terrorist state.
Of course, I’m sure you’re going to say the same thing to me.
By the way, I don’t watch/read the MSM, the new music is crap, against the pHarma run medical system, and homeschooled my child.
Are you old enough to remember Jewish terrorists doing the exact same thing you decry in the fight for their "homeland"? Probably not. There is history here before 1948.
I'm not trying to start an argument as we probably agree on 95% of the issues. Just pointing out that we've really only been fed one side of the Israel narrative by our media for sixty-plus years, and things aren't as black-white as portrayed. Both sides have acted barbarously and frankly deserve each other.
I used to be very pro-Israel, but since Oct 7, no more. Allowing that silly attack was simply an excuse to come down hard on the Palestians. The IDF can detect a cat coming across their border! Old pickups? Flying mopeds? Thousands of broom wielding soldiers? Couldn’t detect any of them? Impossible!! Just a ruse to totally alienate Palestine at long last. I hate what they are doing!
Exactly. The Hamas Oct 7 attack was an Israeli psyop.
1: Jimmy Dore: "From all of the evidence, it would appear that the Israeli government WANTED the October 7th attack to occur. They had all the signs of an impending attack from their own military and civilian sources. The Egyptians warned of the attack. And yet, the military high command allowed a music festival to occur and reduced their own military on the border......"
"A newly surfaced document has revealed that the IDF and intelligence systems had detailed knowledge of Hamas's plan to raid Israel and kidnap 250 people weeks before the October 7 massacre."
Trump is against war , but he is blinded by his loyalty to Israel. Why doesn’t he condemn this blatant attack with electronics killing innocent civilians?
It was recently pointed out to me that like Obama Vance grew up in a fractured home, was raised partially by grandparents, landed in an Ivy League school where he cultivated connections with influential individuals, wrote a best selling book, was elected to state office and within 2 years was running for national office. Who is he really. I was fooled by Obama; I’d say that we need to find out more about Vance.
He’s the reason I think the election is in the bag for Trump. Trump’s the Trojan Horse to get Vance into the White House. They’ll get Trump out after two years via impeachment/assassination/25A and then usher JD into big seat and the next thing you know you’ll need electronic permission to do everything from starting your car to buying groceries to taking a piss.
I feel the same about Viviek. He's got a silver tongue but the guy has made his fortune off of building up biopharma companies and then spinning them out for failed, repurposed orphan drugs. He's a fancy carpet bagger.
But, but, but, he's a Republican in good standing! Haha. Remember when being a Republican once meant you favored free markets rather than being a crony capitalist whose business was dependent on the government dole?
This is where we all owe Trump such a debt of gratitude. He exposed how the Paul Ryan /Mitt Romney/Mitch McConnell GOP was just a corrupt racket.
Can we please believe our own eyes again? I don’t mean never give the benefit of the doubt or always judge on 1st impressions. I mean if that pic of DeWine was the first I’d seen, I’d note the rug, garage sale glasses, constipated squint, pervy smirk, indigent-corpse grade shirt, tie, and jacket, and my radar would suggest I watch my back. Instincts are God-given for good reasons, which is why progs tell us to judge only MAGA Republicans.
Every word of it. However, we have been programmed for the last sixty years to ignore our own God-given intuition and that being judgmental in any form is a sin. Of course that's a complete twisting of the Gospel as it says no such thing.
Very often (in fact usually) you CAN tell a book by it's cover, and people who ignore it are fools.
Everybody in and around the Biden admin has an impure vibe that feels pretty specific, and I'd rather not ask anybody, “So, you’re a lying creep, right?” They'll usually prove it anyway. There’s never been a better time to fine tune our spiritual discernment.
But…I’ve been over that barrel a time or two. We have a name you can add to that corrupt list here in Texas, where I’ve held my nose and voted for John Cornyn. But the choice was either him or his Democratic opponent. The lesser of two evils? IDK
John Cornball is safely entrenched for another two years and knows it too well. I hope and pray he just retires and doesn't sneak into McConnell’s shoes. If not, the lesser of two evils won’t be so clear. He and the increasingly comfortable Cruz are making me rethink term limits. The Texas GOP is in favor of recall referendum, but we’ll need lots of luck getting politicians to support that bill.
This is just disgusting how they’re selling out their own people.
HHS along with Homeland Security needs to come in and bust them and the landlords; it’s called “single family housing” for a reason! These property owners — the mayor included —who are kicking out Americans so they can charge rent by bodycount are nothing but greedy, selfish criminal scam artists.
I recall that several other cities have done exactly the same thing, evicting impoverished citizens and handicapped US military veterans from Section 8 housing, so that migrants could come and squat in those homes.
I wonder how they are kicking out tenants? Has anyone read about that? Do they raise the rent to a level they can get for illegal tenants and then people have to move out because they can't afford it? I haven't seen information on this yet.
In the article that Kathleen posted above 👆, they interviewed people in Springfield and one resident was quoted as saying: “You've got landlords right now that's kicking the tenants out,” Clos said. “They say, 'look here, we're raising rent up to $1,500 a month.' They say, 'I can't afford it.' 'You can't afford it, there's the door we'll bring somebody else in.' It's all about the mighty dollar now…”
So yes, sounds like they just raise the rents to an unsustainable level for the Americans living there.
Of course the Mayor does! And none of us are surprised! I hope Ohio voters figure it out regarding DeWine and thd Springfield mayor. As time goes on I have no doubt other facts will come to light.
Also a native Ohioan and registered Republican. My family has never voted for DeSwine and neither have any of my friends. Pretty sure he was selected rather than elected. His term runs until 2026, which seems lightyears away. We've GOT to get him out but, then, there's always the chance someone worse like a full-blown Democrat could end up as Gov.
I think he's at term limit in 2026, Ohio only allows two consecutive terms at governor I believe. But that means we have to make sure to be involved in the primary, or else this state GOP is going to find someone just as bad.
Has anyone else looked at their summer stats from Substack? Apparently C&C isn’t in my top 3 even though it’s the only one I read every single day.
I’ve also noticed that occasionally when I use the search to find C&C, it won’t come up until I’ve typed out the whole title, but several others that aren’t that close are suggested.
This is weird. Is Jeff not impressing the right people? Anyone else notice this? Just something random I noticed.
Thank you, I kind of I assumed that it was content based. It’s also strange to me that he’s listed under ‘health’ stacks when he mostly does US and world news, but that could be because of his title. On the plus side, he was numbers 1 and 2 in ‘health’ articles yesterday (Thursday’s and Friday’s).
CS - Thank you for this comment. I went to my dashboard and realized that I didn't choose categories for my stack back when I created it this past May. I write about the white fibrous clots that embalmers have been finding.
I chose "Health and Wellness" and "Science" for a secondary category. It will be interesting to see if my subscriber base increases. I'm over 1,000 right now.
You are, I assume, aware of John O'Looney, funeral home director, and his published clot findings? And of Substack authors Dr. Philip Macmillan, Linda Lazarides, Laura Kasner, and the standalone website "Totality of Evidence"? You are not alone in tracking down the facts about clots.
CS - I'm also having an issue with Substack no longer sending me email notifications when someone replies to my comments. I only receive "like" notifications. I can get around it by going to "activity", but this is very cumbersome and easy to miss comments - which can be pure gold!
I started having the same issue. AND, when I click to look at my own comment to read replies it will no longer take me to my actual comment but make me sift through all the other comments in the thread to find mine. It’s cumbersome and I can no longer quickly converse with the ones replying to my original comment. So many people are not getting replies from me anymore. I wondered if this was on purpose.
I noticed that too! So annoying but then I also found that I can get directed to the actual new comment response from my desktop. I usually read C&C on my iPad. Try a different device, see what happens
I’ve been noticing that also… I post a comment and when someone posts back, I don’t get a notification… I used to be on Parlor, and then they took it down! 🔥🔥🔥 Where will we all go if Substack gets taken down?
The comment trail works properly for me in the Substack Android app, but not on my Win11 PC. Since both are configured with the same notification settings, this is (as Spock would say) illogical.
I went in and checked my settings for notifications on my computer and they are all set to notify me correctly. So it makes me think “they” are pulling strings on this platform too. Ugh 😣
I was recently in my Substack account on my computer instead of the app, and there is an option to turn off notifications specifically for likes. Maybe they did an update and turned that off for content providers? Might be worth rechecking.
Me, too. Still get notifications of likes. So what I'm doing is opening the like notification and clicking on "your comment", which takes me to my comment and all replies. Irritating, though.
I no longer get email notifications either. However, I don't depend on those anyway and I just use my browser to go the sub stacks I want to read each day.
Its might be a setting under notifications for writers BUT for readers it must be somewhere else - they have changed things around.... But I get emails for likes and replies... MAYBE SOMEONE KNOWS WHERE THE SETTING FOR THAT IS LOCATED NOW....
also alot of pubs are probably in the news categories BUT his should be appearing high in the rankings given the # of subscriber BUT paid subscribers might be what Substack pushes...
CS - I don't feel right opening my stack to paid subscriptions since what I write about could possibly save lives by causing "vaccine hesitancy". No one can accuse me of being a grifter.
I'm sure that hurts me since Substack can't make any money off of my writings.
100%. And comments are not out there as well. I used to get many notifications on responses and now there are practically none. And...Laura, have you checked your settings on your publishers dashboard? Because there is one on there that is super creepy and by default it is set ON. "Allow AI training
Allows platforms like ChatGPT and Google Bard to train on your content. Disabling may limit your discoverability on these platorms."
Oh, and THAT is not my typo!! I just copied and pasted from my dashboard.
It’s happening to me too! I was frustrated by it but now hearing it’s happening to all of us makes me realize they either did it on purpose or…..they did it on purpose. 😉
Publisher settings, I assume, are if YOU publish your own Substack. Since you don't have a Substack listed beside your name, I assume you probably don't publish. So maybe won't see/have access to those settings.
I’ve noticed that too, even just on their weekly recommended stacks. Sometimes a topic will look interesting but once I get into it it’s always left. And they ALWAYS have E Jean Carroll at the top of the recommended list. Ewwww Absolutely no.
Yes this is what I see. An unbalanced push to leftist propaganda. I started sending people actual hard links to my favorite Substacks like C&C so that I can bypass any search engine corrupting their efforts to find them.
I think they are shadow banning or have manipulated the algorithm e.g. search for memes and I don't show up - a leftwing Substack does BUT I also don't have meme in my Substack title BUT my meme posts should be showing up more in their searches... Also, don't forget that Twitter is largely shadow banning Substack links...
I was taken aback at how much I’ve read - word count was over 1 million! However, when I think about the fact I essentially get allllll my news and info from substack, it starts to make sense.
This happens to me with The Naked Emperor stack, to which I’m a paid subscriber. I have to search for it every single day. El gato 8m a free subscriber and it always shows up in my feed, lol.
When I saw the “summer stats” it reminded me of when Facebook would get everyone to upload an old photo or something as stupid…it seems like a waste of time to me, and a tad suspicious..I know what I read.
I get an email every Mon-Sat and click on the little "LIKE" heart if I want to read it on substack, but I usually just read it in the email, then pop into substack for the comments section.
Oh I turned off email long ago, I don’t need one more thing in my email. I use the app, and the things I subscribe to are at the top of the list. The issue happens when I’m already in the app and get a notification that c/c has posted and I can’t get it to pop up.
I'm just the opposite, I don't need one more app, lol. I stopped putting apps on my phone, because I refuse to upgrade to 5G, and my phone doesn't work with many of the new apps out there either, even if it had lots more storage capacity to load it up with apps.
I check my email every morning and leave that window open, and drink coffee and play The Epoch Times Games/Puzzles on another window, and check out a few headlines while I wait for my email from C&C. I get a kick out of bouncing around between tabs and windows.
I'm on my desktop computer sitting in my comfy office chair at home with a "real" keyboard, lol. I've only been "retired" since January and have had only 5 months getting used to living in a new state, so I like my "old" tech that I'm familiar with, and I know how to work around glitches that happen on my familiar set up.
I only subscribe to a few things like C&C, and visit everybody else sporadically based on the topic of interest.
So, I am sorry you have this frustration and I'll just pop out of the conversation now, because I am not helpful for your particular difficulties.
I have an IPhone 8 Plus that won't do 5G either, but I suspect we will all eventually have no choice. My husband and I had a second phone, and were using a much older iPhone SE that only went to 3G. One day a totally free iPhone (the Xr model) arrived in the mail, and ATT said it was because 3G no longer worked and we needed to have a 4G capable one. They had previously tried to get us to upgrade using their usual enticements to get an expensive new phone, but we never did that. Rather than lose our monthly phone payments for that phone, they sent out the free phones. I think eventually they will make the 4G phones useless.
When I go to my reading list on my phone, he’s in the top three and it’s the only post I read daily. On my computer, he’s dead last because he’s the first Substack I subscribed to. What I’ve noticed is that my email from him doesn’t come in and when I come to Substack and refresh my inbox or his page, nothing happens. Yesterday, I refreshed his page and my email every five minutes. I finally got his stack at about 9:50. I saw in the comments that people had been making comments since at least 9:25. According to my email account, that email came through at 8:58. But it didn’t. I know because I kept checking.
Today I came on the app and refreshed his page; nothing. I then went directly to my email and there it was. This happens consistently on my computer at work, as well, where either the stack or the email appear eventually, but very delayed.
I read on the app but this happens to me sometimes too. I’ll get the notification that C&C has posted, but when I click it won’t be there. I’ll go to inbox and my front page and refresh… nothing. Hence why I’m sometimes having to search for it.
Why don’t you have Coffee & Covid on your Home Screen or Favorites? I just open that every day and everything is immediately there. No typing or searching.
Nor in mine. I'm a non-paying customer here, so thought that's why C&C wasn't listed. I also read Racket News (Tiabbi) - every post. I pay for it; it was not listed. Alex Berenson's Substack is shown as my top, even though Alex has apologized to subscribers several times for his sporadic posting due to working on his federal case. Fishy!
You probably commented enough that the algorithm decided you wanted your own stack. Too bad that same algorithm can’t figure out what type of information I’m interested in. 🙄😂
It’s something that just popped up on my home page, I don’t know how to go find it. If you scroll down through ‘explore’ it’s a post that will pop up and say something like ‘see what you read this summer, click here to see your summer stats’.
"I’ve been holding off calling this out, since everybody makes mistakes, especially me, but I can’t just stand it anymore. Since early summer, I’ve been seeing a disquieting trend of basic grammar and spelling mistakes creeping into top-tier corporate media stories."
These cretins are the face of affirmative action, DEI and too big to fail.
A place where you are encouraged to use large type and double spacing.
A place where creativity can be created by emancipating it from someone who did the work.
A magical utopia where parentheses can walk off pages, free of their shackles!
Or it may be simply that schools haven't focused on spelling and grammar for years now, instead instructing students to rely on spell check and suggested words. "Diffuse" is not misspelled, so it would not have prompted a writer to check. But I have noticed lots of spelling and grammar errors too, and it drives me nuts.
My high school son is taking a composition course through our local community college. The instructor actually advises students to run their essays through AI chat to see if it suggests word changes or finds grammatical errors.
More troublingly, a focus on correct grammar and word choice is seen as......(wait for it...) racist, white supremacy, neo-Colonialism.
Please understand that racist, white supremacy, Neo-Colonialism, and almost everything else they call us are all code words for one thing that must be destroyed: CAPITALISM. That is why BLM burned black-owned businesses in the 2020 riots, because those owners were capitalists (aka, the black face of White Supremacy). When you understand this, a whole lot more makes sense.
And where did ‘have ran’ (as in “I have ran into him at church.”) come from? I hear some otherwise eloquent speakers use this and it makes me shout “have run” out loud. My mother was 1st gen Italian (bullied, called ethnic slurs, etc) and would correct my grammar every time, all day long. She worked hard to make sure her children were well-spoken.
I mentioned this too before I read your comment! It drives me crazy, but while the past participle is being lost in constructions that require a past participle, those same past participle forms are being used as a simple past tense. It's crazy....I don't think kids are taught grammar at all in schools any more.
My response is, "how many are you?" Our house is divided on this one because, while we both believe in two sexes and that the current lexicon accounts for this, I would allow for some new word(s) -zee/zim for example - over misusing existing words. One of the questions around this whole kerfuffle is: how often does one use a third person pronoun when in that person's presence anyway? Has anyone heard of an alternative for "you"? Other than thou, of course!
Ryan, at least you are trying! It seems as though most people do not even care to try anymore. I do try to offer a measure of grace to those for whom spelling, grammar, and punctuation is difficult, as I would like the same grace back when dealing with math! 😆 However, I have no patience for "professional" writers for news, magazines, etc. who publish articles with typos in them. It is their job to produce clean, clear copy for the reading public!
Public schools teach nothing nowadays. Before I had to give up my college teaching job b/c of mandates, I taught First-year Writing at a CA State University, and got to see first hand the extent of the disaster that is K-12 public education.
And even among the kids who know better --were home- or private-schooled and have proper spelling and grammar chops-- there is still that "I would never call it out because that would be making another person feel bad" attitude.
Having worked on the admin side of things and spent years correcting documents for engineers, I can always tell when someone used SpellCheck to "proofread" their document, or was just too lazy to do even that!
The past participle forms are being lost....I cringe when I hear things like "I should have went" etc. Ugh! And it's often from seemingly educated people that should know better.
The diffuse/defuse example is one of my pet peeves as well. Another is "reign" as in "Biden is trying to reign in inflation." (It must be nice to be the king.)
You can always tell who is relying on spellcheck and who actually knows how to write.
I don't remember where I saw it, but someone recently made the argument that cursive is no longer taught because the flow of writing in cursive supports the process of putting maturing thoughts from brain to paper - and "they" don't want that!
I used to give riding lessons during the 80s and 90s, and in our tack room was an old rotary dial phone. After a lesson, a young girl about 8 or 9 years old asked me, "What is that?" I replied, "What is what?," not knowing to what she was referring. She touched the phone and asked again, "What is this?" I told her it was a phone. She replied, "No, it isn't. It doesn't have any buttons!"
I guess I am still a bit anachronistic, because my cell phone is a flip phone that has buttons, whilst most people have smart phones that no longer have buttons!
That's great! And instructive. My first instinct is to shake my head at their struggle but then I realize that I did not come by my knowledge of rotary phone usage by intuition, but instead by instruction and/or observation. I am reminded of playing Mario Bros. on the first generation Nintendo with my much younger cousins. I would just move along until one told me to crouch down and slide under a block then stand up whereupon a power up would appear. Without their knowledge I would never have known that power up was there or how to get it.
My pet peeve with language is… when did the word ‘whoa’ become ‘woah’? That doesn’t even make sense if you’d were taught phonics. Probably white supremacy.
My daughter was born in 1970, and by the time she was going into kindergarten I was aware that schools were abandoning the phonics that I learned to read with. They had latched onto "word recognition" as a method of reading rather than sounding out letters. Kids would look at a picture of a horse with the letters "horse" under it and pronounce it as "pony". Yikes! So we taught our daughter to read using phonics well before she went to school.
I’m the same vintage as your daughter but I learned phonics. My kids didn’t and none of them can spell. Worse, they don’t teach or expect cursive writing. Had to teach that one ourselves.
For awhile I have noticed what I call "word inflation" where a verb is followed by totally unnecessary words. "Revert back" is one example. "Revert" means to go back, and doesn't need a redundant "back" to follow. It is not possible to "revert forward" which I guess one could think is the opposite. Here are some more:
Lower down, raise up
Return back
Revert back
Splice together
Combining them together
Ensued thereafter
Merge together
I think this may have started as a way for media people to try sounding more intelligent or hip and then caught on with the public ("granular" and "my bad" come to mind).
And one more while I'm in a whiny mood -- using "There's" to refer to a plural noun instead of "There are...". "There's many ways to speed up your PC."
I would add that people don’t know how to correctly use the verb form of words. For example, “Setup your computer and then login.” should be typed “Set up your computer and then log in.”
Industry jargon with acronyms results in a lot of that kind of thing, especially as what words are represented by the acronym are forgotten. Ask a youth what ATM stands for and wait for hilarity to ensue.
I am all for an expansive lexicon and prefer to be as precise as practicable and practical but there are certainly those who use longer words only in an attempt to sound more knowledgeable or intelligent than they are. Our current VP springs to mind.
Daily Mail went from using the interns to using AI, they have huge grammar error now and even unfinished sentences. It’s pretty clear they must have fired the editors.
I just saw a group email from someone who resembles a potential DIE hire at my workplace, a very large hospital, requesting to “please excuse any spelling or grammar errors.” I guess that request takes the place of actually learning basic spelling and grammar these days. Embarrassing and sad.
A pet peeve is when a local online news organization includes a request at the end of every article to report any spelling or grammar errors. Isn’t it their job to do that?! Our society has fallen so far, smh.
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
By faith, turning to God in repentance, and the obedience that follows, the church is a rebuke to the principalities that rebelled!
Ephesians 3:9-10
". . . to bring to light for everyone what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God, who created all things, so that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places."
NPR whined that, according to experts, hand-counting is slower and less reliable than electronic tabulation. " Do they mean like when they take weeks to 'count' the electronic votes to determine how many midnight one party only delivered votes they have to use to overcome Trumps winning number of votes? That kind of time delay? As for 'experts'. exactly who or what is an expert in vote counting? Do they offer degrees in counting votes? What college provides that? What qualifications does a vote counter actually have? Are they licensed?
Also their stupid steal tactic of Vote by Mail takes too long. We should have a Winner declared on Election night and not try to rewind the Football game to see if they can get a different outcome. Also, “tabulators” take too long on Election Day when it causes the Polls to shut down?
Here in Oregon we had Komrad Kate Brown as gov, her term was up so they selected Komrad Tina Kotek. More of the same. Gee, could it be because we’ve had mail-in ballots for 35+ years??? Gee, and dems for that long too? 🤷♀️🤬
Jesse Kelly talks about this very situation in his recent appearance with Tucker and he says it is the fault of the primary voters. First, most people don't show up to vote in the primaries so the person who ends up representing the ticket is chosen by the very few, likely incentivized voters who choose the guy who rewards them. It's a sad but true state of affairs.
I don't know about that. I volunteered in 2016 on election day keeping my eye out for shenanigans and I didn't see any. And I volunteered in Cuyahoga county.
Ohio has gone for Trump every time and has a mostly Republican Congress. I just wish we had a better Republican gubernatorial candidate during this time. My whole life Ohio was a swing state and now it isn't even considered that. Which is nice since I don't have to hear election commercials on the radio.
It's not always physically at the polling places. They are inserted through the electronic machines. There is an algorithm for each state. For example 90% of the 65 year olds voted in Cuyahoga County. 90% of the 65 years olds voted in Summit. 90% in Medina, etc. But go into a county in PA and 80% of the 65 year olds voted in every county there. Michigan, it may be 85% of 65 year olds in every county.
Look into Dr. Corsi, Dr. Frank, Election Integrity Network. It starts with cleaning the voter rolls.
Full on cheating. No one watches the down ballot races and part of that is because of 2020. This year you watch trump win by a landslide, yet all the conservative tickets fail. Every last one.
He came to my company once. I could feel his aura. He radiated disdain and borderline evil. I also don't know why Ohio keeps him in there. I've voted against him every time.
The teacher unions got Beshear elected. (If you believe that he actually won.) So many people were fooled by his “aw..shucks” demeanor. He CARED SO MUCH during Covid.
I'm in Ohio. And I'm not sure DeSwine was "selected" instead of elected.
The reason I say that? This spring I started working part-time for a school system. It has been an eye-opener to say the least. Doesn't matter how bad things get financially, or how frequently they get sick thanks to 6+ boosters, they STILL hate Trump. All of 'em. TDS is the disease to beat. And I don't see us beating it without prying mainstream media from the grips of evil. THEY GET ALL THEIR NEWS AND OPINIONS from television!!
How bad is it? I have a friend in another state who grew up in WWII. She is from Germany ... fled the nazis. She can't stand Trump because "of the way he talks about women, and he's a convict." (Ya can't make this shit up ... she immigrated here and has had a good life thanks to America, but can't recognize propaganda even though she lived through it... and will likely help the communists with her vote because she is brainwashed.)
I have a friend who started working for a local school district right before COVID. She was generally pretty conservative in her views. That is no longer the case. The indoctrination in school systems is overwhelming. I have a neighbor who is a teacher in our school district and she was one of only 4 teachers who said no to the vax. She is also very awake about all the issues discussed here. I don't know how she has managed to remain unprogrammed, but I do think there are some people who are built differently.
That's really depressing about your friend from Germany. But even there, they have done an incredible job brainwashing Germans to loathe their country and denounce everything about it.
Yes, I think lots of us underestimate the influence and reach of people employed by the school systems and the government as a whole. These people all have a vested interest in more government and more spending.
Running Logic my thoughts on the schools and society in general is this. The radical “ hippies” of the 60’s saw that blowing up buildings and the like weren’t working so they became teachers, journalists, lawyers, judges, politicians, newscasters, etc. change the way of thinking and you’ve captured a generation and beyond. Jimmy Carter started the dept. of education and our test scores are way down but our stupidity is off the charts. How else can we explain the alphabet groups supporting hamas?
Teachers are the worst. My good friend watches NPR for her news! I shouldn’t have been shocked, but I bet she doesn’t support them financially and get her free Downton Abby mug! 🤣
I'm originally from Ohio and still have some family there. They are *all* brainwashed dems. My brother and I both escaped Ohio years ago and are both conservatives.
They dont like dewine, but dont do anything about it. And they all think Trump and Vance are racist bigots.
MAGA needs to take over the Rep party in Ohio. It's the only way to get a good governor. DeSwine is very good at riding the line at being barely tolerable.
Here's a thought: if cheating is accepted as being rampant in the last Presidential election at the very least, why would or should we believe that it doesn't occur at other times, and in other than blue states?
If a government clearly and consistently lies to the populace, weaponizes various agencies to conduct lawfare against dissent, breaks or sidesteps the law to further its own goals, and more/worse, then would it be difficult to believe that the citizenry is not allowed the power to significantly change the system...?
It is so easy to quickly count the number of anything. As ballots are handed in, they are placed in batches of some count (10, 20, 30, pick one). When voting is over you count the number of batches + the last few ballots. During the vote each batch count is double- or triple-checked. You can announce the ballot count in about 10 minutes after voting is completed.
you also have to have someone else count the batches again and see if the person who originally counted them into the batch was honest, unfortunately, because there were a lot of mislabelled batch sheets in 2020
either that or have 2 people count them the first time, one from each party, like with poll watchers
It's easiest to boil issues like Springfield down to one thing. Cui Bono? Who benefits? What did Gov. DeWine get in the Haitian deal? What did the local government officials get? Which NGOs got deals? What do those deals look like? Who runs those NGOs? What do they do with the money they're paid?
Again, I recommend Tucker Carlson’s “Live Cities” Tour. 16 cities in a month. The guests have been fantastic. Jesse Kelly was so good. I listen to them on podcast.
I thought about going to one of the Pennsylvania events too, Dr. Linda, but decided against it. They are both about 5 hours from me, one way, so that would make for a long, long day.
I am a retired middle school English teacher. Students do not know how to spell or use grammar correctly because schools are too busy teaching critical race theory and other “feel good” subjects. It was amazing to me how the students’ skills plummeted by the end of my career.
Yes. I also wonder if it has to do with not physically writing in cursive?
I mean there's something to be said about coordinating your thoughts and your hands in terms of remembering the relationship between an idea and grammar.
I can't like this comment enough. Kids aren't really even expected to write by hand at all, past a certain age. When I taught at the college and had students write in-class essays by hand, I was roundly excoriated by the students and by some fellow teachers for "disadvantaging" (another great word lol) the students who "performed better writing on a laptop." I was like, it's basic writing, if you can't do this you are in for a world of hurt out there IRL.... Some of the kids' writing though.....whoooboy. There is just such a drop off in spatial relationships and kinesthetic confidence among the youngsters now, b/c their lives are not 3-D & tactile enough. It's so sad.
No fan of cursive here. Having graduated with an engineering bachelor's degree in 1969, my preference is block lettering - all caps - just as we used to do on the drafting table.
Always legible and not subject to misunderstanding, that's the plus to block caps!
I’m sure others herein wonder if the plummeting of student skills is not directly associated with the excessive numbers of “vaccines” forced on children to attend schools… it utterly astonishes me that the one natural control group in our failing at healthcare country is the Amish… just compare their unvaccinated health, their children’s unvaccinated skills and abilities to our nationwide public school children…
The downward trend started decades ago. My wife graduated public high school in 1971; her favorite teacher told her that Wife was lucky she was getting out when she did, because, according to Teach, the schools were going to crap.
Ohio needs more JDs and Viveks, less DeWines and Kasichs. Warmonger open border RINO neocons are the past. MAGA and MAHA are the future.
Vivek just did a community event in Springfield because he spent a lot of time there growing up. Springfield residents got a chance to say whatever was on their mind. Vivek is a rising star in the Republican party, and I think he's great. He's one of the clearest communicators of conservative values that I've ever seen.
He is a clear-thinking guy, and quite sharp. Trump would do well to find a spot for him.
If Trump is elected, JD’s senate seat would be open. Too bad Dewine is the one who gets to choose who fills the seat because Vivek would be great.
I suspect that's a done deal.
Perhaps not... Vivek is considering a Senate run...
Vivek would be most helpful in a Senate roll.
I think the allegations about Vivek being WEF or Deep State are pretty goofy.
I agree, as Senator, he would be great, unless he was offered a really big spot, like DHS or SecState...
If JD becomes VP, it'll be DeWine who appoints the Senator seat from Ohio. No chance that will be Vivek.
Ah... yes, DeWine is a swine... but I had the impression that Vivek was going to run for office, not to be given a seat by a skidmark like DeWine, who, BTW has deep financial ties to the animals of Haiti...
White House spokesman! He’d be brilliant at it, and I wouldn’t want to stab myself in the eyeball while watching, either.
Yes, he would be amazing. His quick thinking oratorical skills are superb.
Haha! There a lot of places that Vivek would fit into nicely.
I prefer someone like Kayleigh for that. Trump needs lots of women in visible positions to negate the misogyny smear.
🫣
I think he is playing a bigger role than you think. Keep praying 🙏
Still don't trust him any further than I can throw him.
Understood. Problem is, we have little choice but to trust somebody.
Vivek was asked in Springfield whether he’d run for Governor. Everyone stood up & cheered.
If you are talking about Vivek Ramaswamy, it should be noted that he was born to two citizens of India, which, according to the writing of Emer de Vattel in his Law of Nations in 1758, doesn't qualify as a natural born citizen, nor a candidate for the presidency.
jayweller.com/natural-born-citizen-defined/ explains the reasoning in detail.
Interesting! Some wiki info on him:
Ramaswamy was raised in Cincinnati, Ohio. Growing up, Ramaswamy often attended the local Hindu temple in Dayton with his family. His conservative Christian piano teacher, who gave him private lessons from elementary through high school, also influenced his social views. He spent many summer vacations traveling to India with his parents. In high school, Ramaswamy was a nationally ranked tennis player.
Ramaswamy attended public schools through eighth grade. He then attended Cincinnati's St. Xavier High School, a Catholic school affiliated with the Jesuit order, graduating as valedictorian in 2003.
In 2011, Ramaswamy was awarded a post-graduate fellowship by the Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans, which he used to attend Yale Law School. At Yale he befriended fellow Ohio native and future U.S. Senator JD Vance. He earned a Juris Doctor in 2013. In a 2023 interview, Ramaswamy said that he was a member of the campus Jewish intellectual discussion society Shabtai while a law student.
Hilarious, he checks all the subversive indoctrination boxes and then some. The only good point in that resume is the Christian piano teacher.
So either he was groomed for WEF-style power and revolted, or he's now being disingenuous. I hope it's the former but that fact he doesn't talk much about it is a concern.
Expanding on this...
Raised Hindu - one of the most bigoted religion on the planet and the antithesis of Christianity. Hinduism teaches it's the divine birth right of some groups to subject others to their authority.
Multiple Summer trips to India - perfectly normal suburban upbringing, didn't you guys spend your summers this way too?
Ranked tennis player - fame at an early age that brought him to national attention that most would never dream of
Educated by Jesuits - need I say more?
Soros fellowship - LOL
Yale Law School - Hmmm, just like Skull and Bones members George Bush and John Kerry. Sure it was just a coincidence.
Law Degree - Where he learned how to manipulate people using emotional persuasion techniques as that's the stock in trade. Just about the only thing worse would be a Psychology double major.
Jewish intellectual discussion society Shabtai - So were they studying Old Testament scripture? Haha, no it's another Yale secret society hell-bent on destroying western civilization through social justice activism and Bolshevism. Seems like a funny place to be particularly not being Jewish (until one goes down the Hindu-Judaism rathole that is, they have much in common).
I doubt there is a more groomed individual on the planet than this guy. So did he revolt against everything he was taught, or is this all an act? Time will tell but be on guard.
Good job!
Vance has been groomed as well. This is basic stuff if some people would be curious!
He has also made his money on the jab
This has made me skeptical of Vivek. Plus he made millions by selling his pharmaceutical company that didn't produce a product and he always says what we want to hear.
https://www.dailydot.com/debug/vivek-ramaswamy-pete-buttigieg-2003-msnbc-town-hall/
None of which makes him a natural born citizen and qualified to be president.
Jesuits: Ruh-roh. Well-known as the left-most unit of the various Catholic orders.
Many don’t count Jesuits as Catholics. They’ve done too much damage to the Church.
He also parrots Obummers speeches. Can we trust him? The jury’s out.
Isn't Harris parents the same way?
As well as Nikki Haley, Ted Cruz, and Mario Rubio.
Ignorant. Vattel has nothing to do with American law (which didn't exist yet, and was based on British common law, not French civil law.)
The US Supreme Court explained in detail in US v. Wong Kim Ark (1898) why this view was wrong, and held that anyone other than a child born to foreign diplomats is automatically a natural born citizen. (Wong Kim Ark was born in San Francisco to Chinese parents who never were citizens.)
The opinion is quite detailed. Read it for yourself at https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/169/649
Fascinating reading, thanks so much for posting!
Thank you!
Wasn’t Kamala born in Canada? Or in the US to Canadian parents? If so, that disqualifies her per your linked document. No?
I was born in 1957 in Minnesota to Swedish parents. I was not given automatic citizenship, but gained citizenship in 1958 when my parents were naturalized. It’s unclear when birthright citizenship started- granting citizenship to US born babies of non citizens. Do you know?
Yes you - and anyone else born in the US - is automatically a natural born citizen, regardless of their parents' citizenship.
That is the plain language of the US Constitution and the unchanged un-overturned decision of the Supreme Court since 1898 (US v. Wong Kim Ark - https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/169/649
Where one is born is irrelevant. It is to whom one is born that determines natural born citizenship. Seriously, just read jayweller.com/natural-born-citizen-defined/ and you'll understand.
Kamala Harris was also born to two non US citizens
If Obama had cared about being a natural born citizen, he could have acquired it by admitting that Frank Marshall Davis was his real father, as photographic evidence indicates.
Ask his brother George. Seriously. George has come across as a straight-shooter since 2009.
Barack Obama's brother is named Malik and he does live in Kenya. The relatives all call Obama "fake ass".
What did he come across as before 2009?
Could be, but maybe not... certainly his supposed Kenyan pappy is a load of BS. I think this take is more accurate:

Video is gone.
Photos don't lie. The resemblance is pretty stark.
I heard a talk with Vivek and Bret Weinstein awhile back. Got a good impression of Vivek through that long discussion .... Excited about the unity coalition building ...
💯‼️
Agreed! He encouraged my switching parties. Vivek part of a winning team. 🙏
Steveo-actions speak louder than you seem to believe-trump is doing more to keep us out of the clutches of the WEF and NATO and the WHO than anyone in our history. He’s literally being hunted down like prey for his actions. It will be a miracle if he makes it to Election Day. And I believe in miracles.
I’m tired of those who keep saying Trump supporters are basically worshipping (some actually accuse just that) Trump. Following him like puppies, etc.
MAGA folks I know are intelligent, smart, savvy, informed, patriotic, & FED UP with politicians, government bureaucrats, government bureaucracy (agencies, departments, commissions, etc. who rule like czars with a disdain for We the People.
One could get the idea they hate this United States of America considering all they are doing to dismantle her. Destroy her. Let me count the ways…… I would take up waaaaay to much space here.
Enough is Enough!
Trump was the first person to stand up & push back after years of pandering promises by so many (to get our votes).
If you care a whit about this “city is n a hill” you’d quit sowing seeds of discord & be about helping to save us free m the tyranny of communism/marxism.
People are free to worship, support whomever they like I just wish they'd all see the game for what it is. When that happens and people put the repub/demo bs aside, that's when we get our country back.
I can see how the word “hunted” seems sort of excessive, but right before I wrote this comment I read this morning that a whistleblower at the dept of homeland security reported that there are 5 separate known groups intent on assassinating Trump, two are US bases and three are foreign based.
Well of someones truly being hunted it wouldn't be excessive whether it's you or Donald Trump. Must be the 5 worst hunters money can buy? Or maybe President Trump is like some sort of super hero evading every attempt?
All the WEF’rs populate the DEMOCRAT Party. Just look at how well they follow Klaus’ orders to destroy the country from within. Inflation, borders, freeze on oil/gas production, Green New Deal using ‘Inflation Reduction Act’ cover, if they get the chance, they will order a CARBON fake tax, like Canada the Marxist country.
WEF= NWO
The pet passion of George $oro$
In Europe clerics speak and warn of this NWO.
I don't know why this ideological agenda label has fallen away from use. 🤔
Ding ding ding! You’re spot on man. WEF - that’s the enemy: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/who-are-the-bad-guys
From Forbidden News substack: “Nobody knows about the upcoming meeting, starting tomorrow (today, Saturday) at the United Nations in New York City, where the OBrandon Regime apparently intends to cede United States' Sovereignty to the World Economic Forum, that has been in control of the UN since 2019.
We've been hearing about the New World Order for a long time. Here it is.
Welcome to having a life with the same rights as a Chinese citizen.
OBrandon signed the Executive Order for the North American Union in January 2023, literally for the purposes of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. It says so, in the third paragraph.
So, it's time to let some Haitians sleep on your couch, because men are women and you're living on Stolen Land and this is not your country and you will eat the bugs.
The few people even aware of this UN meeting have differing opinions about what's about to happen. James Grundvig tells me that he thinks the fraudulent OBrandon Regime will "Finish the Job" and hand over the bankrupt US Corporation to the UN (aka WEF), because this whole bizarre 8-year chapter has all been a "show" to wake up the Normies. https://open.substack.com/pub/forbiddennews/p/we-cannot-let-this-go-house-republicans?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
I know there are a bunch of REPUBLICANS demanding that the Senate put this up for a vote. if I remember correctly the SENATE MUST RATIFY TREATIES.
My concern is that right now, there is no telling how our Republican Senators will vote, whether they'll defend us from this insanity or throw us under the bus.
I'd rather hold the election, see who gets in, and then have the senate take this awful treaty and tear it up.
I know about it! Interesting how this evil is happening just before the election......maybe not so interesting. I also know that the O'Biden admin, and all the Demo governors, are giddy to hand over our sovereignty to these despots........sitting at the table with Varma, et. al.
The backers of the New World Order ideological agenda.
Who are your picks?
I wholeheartedly agree Steveo! Not enough American citizens do their research, and deep dives on these “great” people running for office. I do. And, I will not vote of ANY of them, including Trump-Mr. OpErAtiOn WaRp SpEeD…a death knell to America. Like surveillance? Like genocide? Like CBDC? Trump and Vance are your guys.
I will not put my name on ANY ballot, not that it matters (I voted for Trump twice).
I’m sure they’ll be fine with AIPAC, and Big Pharma😉!
What we need HERE is a lot less simpering low-IQ eunuch clowns trolling...
Like YOU, ahole!
low-IQ eunuch clowns trolling?… looks like (self) projection to me, Austin… you?
Go get a gallon of vinegar and a dry corn cob...
And get busy, you yeasty porker!
So true, the people believing these politicians are fighting for their freedom drives me nuts.
It’s a damn joke! But VOTE HARDER! Insane…
That’s Miss ahole to you! If stupid people didn’t exist, ((they)) wouldn’t have gotten this far. True sense and discernment is definitely at a minimum these days!
OK, Mis Ahole, if you insist...
You remind me of another low IQ barking broad... named Kamala...
You mean the guy that sports the "New World Order" jacket and hired the wef'er as ceo to continue censoring free speech? That musk?
Ohioan here.
The Republicans themselves went after DeWine legislatively during cv because he wouldn't open up the state. If any one is unaware, Ohio was one of the first states to lockdown courtesy of DeWine. Wuhan, if also unaware, is a "sister city" of Columbus Oh, the state's capitol. It would be very fascinating if someone dug into state foia's to see if that relationship was playing out in DeWine's cv response. On the eve of the Republican's legislature that would have forced the state ro completely open eliminating the still in place restrictions, DeWine got rid of all remaining cv policies that were impacting the state. There's more but I'll leave it there.
How did DeWine get elected? That's a really good question. His campaign took donation money before legally being allowed to. No one seemed to care about that. Also, if unaware, DeWine and his wife Fran go to Haiti to do ministry. Anyone think it strange that this is happening in Ohio? Anyone think it's strange he's defending all this? Don't think so. My in-laws both voted for DeWine. When I shared the boat load of doo doo about him sometime after the election - including his control over the monoclonal antibody treatment in our state that people had to go out of state to receive - the comment was "wow, I wish I would have known, I wouldn't have voted for him". No words.
I think Springfield was the small city chosen for a reason because it's happening in other small cities. Many are looking into DeWine and Haitians now.
Demand LaRose clean the voter rolls and cross check voter SS with other states. He won't buy the software to do it. However, some non profits are working on it.
I am elated people are looking into DeWine now!
Oh so many people reflexively vote Democrat because their family was always Democrat, they've always voted Democrat, they still believe the Democrats are the good guys, blah blah blah. That removes all responsibility for doing one iota of research about what the Democrats have been/are doing. No knowledge needed.
Also, correct me if I am wrong, but the very first trip Biden took after being installed into his office was to visit his best buddy billionaire Wexner in Columbus. More dots to connect.
Thanks for posting - wasn't aware. Ironic that Biden is obsessed with cancer - the reason he went to OSU''s Wexner's medical center - given the turbo cancer situation, moon shot bs. I wonder if Wexner ever gifted him any Victoria Secret products. Wouldn't it be interesting to slso uncover if Wexner gifted Victoria Secret product to Epstein's escapades on the island when he went there?
Ohio needs more Christians that actually read the Bible and study the catachisms so that they know the difference between wolves and sheep.
Every neighborhood, city, county, and state needs that
Note that JD is a warmonger too ("Israel First" policy, just like Trump).
But not Vivek. Although they both have nice Indian wives.
I would only say that JD is young and is open to hearing alternative views. He has been nothing but an asset in this current campaign doing most of the (always hostile) publicity hits.
Valid points. He's doing good and could evolve well.
I can forgive him.
Something tells me God selected him for VP...not Trump.
100% agree. And he can take the scrappy shit they throw at him as well. His Mamaw taught him well. And he learned many valuable lessons that the silver-spoon class never learn. He is valuable.
And, he was a US Marine.
Bingo. Did you see his last comment he made to a NYT reporter?
He is so dang good at dressing then down and making them look like the ho's they are.
And, JD correctly points out that the Deep State will blow-up the bond market if Trump makes it into office. JD is sharp. At around the 9:15 in this interview. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_G_rTeDjJs
Amen. Preach it brother.
JD's interview with Tucker was awesome. I like that the man swears. It shows me he can be real in front of the camera. Something not seen very often.
JD wouldn't be a threat to Trump.
Yes. A big improvement over '30 Pence'.
Israel first over terrorists isn't a bad policy. The difference is Trump (and probably JD) believes in "peace through strength"
The Abraham Accords shows that. Trump has been anti war for many years, which is why Chaney and the Bushes don't like him. He's been very vocal in opposition to them and their policies, lo g before running for office.
Remember Every War was ONLY for the Children!!! So they could have as many as they wanted!! 385,000 missing illegal children right now. And that’s just the tip of the Iceberg!
Touchy subject... Unless you join that side of policy, you get nowhere. I am surprised Vivek hasn't been completely cancelled. I really like him, but unless a person is "God first," I can't give them my support. In fact, there is noone in DC that has my support. They are godless and chaos wreaking showboaters. Even the best of them speak sideways and nobody at their level gets punishment. It's for show and they are the DC actors.
I do not believe our votes count and like Schwab said, they already know the outcome.
God knows the final outcome and He is my hope.
Remember that God uses pagans to accomplish His Will: read all about King Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel… especially what happened after he “got too big for his britches.” I compare Donald Trump to Nebuchadnezzar and Kamala Harris to Jezebel. Pray about it, ask The LORD, God Almighty, to reveal the best choice
God selected initially godless people for greatness all throughout the Bible. Saul/Paul comes to mind as one of the worst before he had his road to Damascus experience. God gets you attention one way or another.
Well done. You are exactly correct. If we wait for the perfect candidate to come along we will never vote.
As the saying goes…. Don’t be so heavenly minded that you are no earthly good.
I like that. God has only a pool of sinners to draw from. I'll take who He raises up and pray for them.
Read of the many instances when God used Babylon, the arch-pagan nation of the day, to punish His chosen folks for their apostasy and unrepentant sinfulness.
Good example. I needed that reminder.
And He expects us all to use the benefits He’s given us. We can’t sit back and paint everything with a grey brush and do nothing and expect Him to preserve our freedoms. He holds us responsible for our part. Government isn’t church. Yes, it would be great if we had more godly representation in DC, but we have to vote for the one more closely aligned to Biblical values. You can’t just sit home saying, “They’re all bad and I’m not going to participate in it.” That’s shirking responsibility.
Agreed. And to not vote at all for the lesser of two evils is by default voting for evil
Exactly! The quote often attributed to Edmund Burke has never been more applicable: “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” I think the whole idea of the problem being so enormous that we can’t do anything about it (WEF, deep state, Illuminati, etc.) has been promulgated to keep us from trying. We always have to remember Esther, Gideon, Wilberforce and others raised up for such a time as this.
If you think voting will get you out of what is transpiring, you’re delusional.
In more Biblical terms, sitting home is evidence of poor stewardship of the resources the Lord has put us in charge of.
My responsibility is to God, and Goodness. My Intuition serves me well (God given).
Remember the Great Commission-go out into the world and share the Good News. And, no one lights a light to hide it under a basket.
True... When we vote, they are just replaced with others of the same mold. How is voting going to help? The bush is gray as the world is. It is wicked. We need to be a light for others.
God has given us much and voting isn't one of them. Although I have always voted and will play their game in the future. We can't beat them, only God can.
I came to the conclusion that man has given us the illusion of having a voice and freedom. I am thankful because it is better in the USA but we are not free. Only in our hearts and minds we are. We never truly own our land, and more recently were compelled to take a polluted potion. We have to pay the gov permission to get married, fish and hunt, travel, buy and sell, and drive a car... probably not much different than 2000 years ago.
I have accepted we live in a sinful environment. History repeats. It is not defeat, but the reality of how the world works.
I am thankful and want to please God and not man. There is joy in that and giving thanks for each beautiful day. Why are we here? What is our goal?
Matthew 9:37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; 38 therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.”
I hope you're not part of the 40 million Christians who don't vote. God put you in the world that he created.
I don’t vote for evil. People are being deceived. I can’t put my name on any candidate. It’s a complete joke…just like Operation Warp Speed. How soon people forget about that! And, innocent people are dying every, single day.
No one under Trump was mandated to get that jab.
Not voting is tacit approval of what we have now. The jab mandates came with the current administration. The trans ideology and medical follow-on promoted in our schools and around the world was put on steroids with the current administration. Killing human preborn babies up to the moment of birth - who could otherwise survive and thrive outside the womb with medical care - is a major platform of the current administration; an estimated 13,000 babies fall into that category. Resurrecting and promoting racial bigotry is a hallmark of this administration through promotion of envy and false narratives in schools, colleges, government agencies, and bribing corporations with government grants. Importing and dumping huge numbers of unassimilated people on small cities to benefit local politicians and companies came with the current administration. Continued promotion of the covid jabs anyone 6 months and older is at the direction of the CDC under the current administration.
If you do not vote against it, you actually ARE voting for this evil.
Nailed it ! 🎯
💯
Good try. Wake up. Trump implemented Operation Warp Speed (DOD)! How many people do you think got that life threatening bioweapon in their arm????
Are you this naive, gullible, and asleep? Cognitive dissonance much?
"No one under Trump was mandated to get that jab."
Technically true, but sidesteps the FACT that the deathvax wasn't released UNTIL AFTER the election.
Trump didn't mandate the jab, because he couldn't.
Exactly: not voting IS voting for this evil. In perpetuity, too, because Democrats are seeking to control the entire government, in which case the abortion rules will be up to and after birth in every state of the union. Forever.
Excellent points.

You are still to vote with best option because NOT voting is complacency. Yes… God in control, but we must..MUST act on our responsibility. There will not be a perfect human. Only Christ! But until we go with those that align the most with Gods word
God gave us brains to make the best possible decision in any given situation. He never demanded every decision be perfect.
What makes the Best Movies? The Actors! We don’t know who is for our Country and who isn’t at this point. Because of the Fact we do not know who are Actors and who aren’t. YET!!! Trump is busy catching illegal votes right now. The Dems have Warehouses full of Ballots waiting for 11-5. The White Hats Military is blowing them up as fast as they stake one out to see what’s inside. So right now it’s especially hard. Don’t count anyone in or out yet. Observe and Pray! And DO NOT FEAR!!

Glad they’re for Israel. GO TRUUMP AND JD!
I don’t object to the belief that Israel has a right to defend herself. I do object to the belief that it’s my duty, as a US taxpayer, to help her defend herself. My country should come first but it does not.
I’ve thought about this a lot. I tried to boil it down to something small, like my friends and my family. If my family was constantly under attack and desperately needed money and weapons to defend it, I would do everything in my power to make that happen. In the midst of all that, if my best friend came to me and said they were having the same issue, I would certainly feel empathy for them, but I would not help them. My family would receive my time, attention and money. My family’s survival is more important to me than my friend’s.
In the same vein, my country’s survival is more important to me than Israel’s. And it should be that way. I understand they’re the only democratic country in a place ruled by Islam. I understand they’re our ally. But we need to focus on our country and making it whole and well again. That’s where our focus should be.
GG, you've described my "circle the wagons" strategy to "attacks." Smallest units are protected first (self, family) and then larger units as resources increase (extended family, friends, neighbors). I've never understood why we're more interested in helping other countries when our own is such a mess. We're wearing blinders to our own vulnerabilities and risk of demise.
You could apply that viewpoint to all the BS around viruses as well. Each of us making the best choice we can for ourselves & family, not making wellness decisions based on our impact on others. Informed decision making is paramount.
More than that. Trump now agrees with Nikki Haley that Israel is more important than America. A big drop from 'America First'. Total Neocon subversion of the American public.
BFM. Wait. When did Trump say Israel is more important than America? In what context did he say it as well? Only giving room for manipulation as to what he actually said. Not by you. But by the media or whoever reported it.
He didn't say Israel is more important than America, but he may have implied it. Since he did say it was as important, which is still wrong and very problematic.

The hope (and I admit it's a hope) is that it's not a policy reversal and just a play for votes and funding.
Trump remains the only President since Reagan who didn't rubber-stamp the neocon agenda of endless wars, so there is a track record there. Bottom line is this, who calls the shots in the US/Israel relationship? Trump remains the only serious politician who isn't an obvious Israel patsy. He recently reiterated that the US will never take any Gaza "refugees". That may seem anti-Palestinian but it really isn't. Israel's end goal is drive them out of the Middle East and to dump them all on the US and Europe. Trump has made clear that won't happen on his watch, which is Netanyahu's end goal.
I wonder how much longer the Israel first is going to play. I see Gen Y posting constantly about who owns our media, music, pharma, education & how many have dual citizenship and it’s not looking good for Israel.
Maybe it’s the fact that our young people were not raised by tv preachers.
All I know is that the apocalypse is upon us and some people don’t look good in full daylight.
Sadly, the young people are indoctrinated in the public schools. The public schools are very pro-Hamas, anti-American, anti-Constitution, pro-LGBTQIA+, pro-transitioning, pro-climate change theory, pro-communism, etc., in CA.
I don’t know about you, but I’m old enough to remember the PLO’s suicide bombings in the 80s. They bombed public transportation systems, weddings, cafes, everywhere indiscriminately. October 7th, Hamas kidnapped (and killed) hundreds of innocents. Hamas hides amongst citizens. From the river to the sea means to wipe Israel and all Israelis off the map. I don’t know how you can support a terrorist state.
Of course, I’m sure you’re going to say the same thing to me.
By the way, I don’t watch/read the MSM, the new music is crap, against the pHarma run medical system, and homeschooled my child.
Are you old enough to remember Jewish terrorists doing the exact same thing you decry in the fight for their "homeland"? Probably not. There is history here before 1948.
I'm not trying to start an argument as we probably agree on 95% of the issues. Just pointing out that we've really only been fed one side of the Israel narrative by our media for sixty-plus years, and things aren't as black-white as portrayed. Both sides have acted barbarously and frankly deserve each other.
Irgun, the Stern Gang, Nakba... all terms anyone who wants to know the truth about Israel needs to research, IMO
I think you might want to research how the Israeli's occupied Palestine in 1947. Much of the PLO tactics they learned from Israel.
Exactly, and let us not forget what Thomas Massey alerted us to.
This will be memory holed ASAP.
Oh, and their exploding pagers aren't helping their cause either, is it?
That's the stuff only terrorists do, and it's obviously state terrorism.

AND then there is the unholy alliance of Weinstein, Epstein, Oprah, Diddy, Obama, Clinton etc. these zionists dont look good in daylight, agree.
I used to be very pro-Israel, but since Oct 7, no more. Allowing that silly attack was simply an excuse to come down hard on the Palestians. The IDF can detect a cat coming across their border! Old pickups? Flying mopeds? Thousands of broom wielding soldiers? Couldn’t detect any of them? Impossible!! Just a ruse to totally alienate Palestine at long last. I hate what they are doing!
Exactly. The Hamas Oct 7 attack was an Israeli psyop.
1: Jimmy Dore: "From all of the evidence, it would appear that the Israeli government WANTED the October 7th attack to occur. They had all the signs of an impending attack from their own military and civilian sources. The Egyptians warned of the attack. And yet, the military high command allowed a music festival to occur and reduced their own military on the border......"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Li164lMRR48

2: The Jerusalem Post @Jerusalem_Post
"A newly surfaced document has revealed that the IDF and intelligence systems had detailed knowledge of Hamas's plan to raid Israel and kidnap 250 people weeks before the October 7 massacre."

yup. and its still unclear what role if any they played in Dallas 63 and 9-11. Not to mention the good ship Liberty.
Im not seeing trump as Israel first. I’m seeing trump say “ you’re on your own “ to Benny.
Given Israel's capabilities as most recently demonstrated in Lebanon, can any US Presidential candidate seriously criticize Israel and survive?
He's pretty stern in this 30 sec clip talking about he'll bring the hammer down on Israel criticism. How about stay out of middle east wars?

I made a similar comment on this podcast: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/the-metaphysical-ritual-of-voting
Warmonger republicans got us the 9/11 invasion and then also the bail outs
Trump is against war , but he is blinded by his loyalty to Israel. Why doesn’t he condemn this blatant attack with electronics killing innocent civilians?
because its not the right time to pick a fight w AIPAC and their $$$ perhaps. he is smart about some things.
It was recently pointed out to me that like Obama Vance grew up in a fractured home, was raised partially by grandparents, landed in an Ivy League school where he cultivated connections with influential individuals, wrote a best selling book, was elected to state office and within 2 years was running for national office. Who is he really. I was fooled by Obama; I’d say that we need to find out more about Vance.
At least one difference between Obama and Vance is that Vance joined the military and Obama did not.
And Obama was selected by the Machine in Chicago.
Also Vance turned on his White Christian roots by his inter-racial marriage to a Hindu Indian.
So now his own offspring aren't White either. And now here he is, on the precipice of power.
It’s actually Israel last, according to Q anyway.
What could possibly go wrong?
I'd pump the brakes on the JD worship, Yuri. He's Thiel's bitch, and Thiel is a surveillance state tool.
Thiel is definitely a threat. Whitney Webb laid this one out for us.
He’s the reason I think the election is in the bag for Trump. Trump’s the Trojan Horse to get Vance into the White House. They’ll get Trump out after two years via impeachment/assassination/25A and then usher JD into big seat and the next thing you know you’ll need electronic permission to do everything from starting your car to buying groceries to taking a piss.
I feel the same about Viviek. He's got a silver tongue but the guy has made his fortune off of building up biopharma companies and then spinning them out for failed, repurposed orphan drugs. He's a fancy carpet bagger.
Respectfully, "fewer" evil people, not "less."

I live in Ohio and am a registered Republican. I didn't vote for DeSwine. He's a disgrace to our state.
The mayor of Springfield, OH owns properties that rent to Haitians.
Here is the link:
https://buckeyereporter.com/stories/664310242-special-report-renting-apartments-to-haitians-is-big-business-for-springfield-mayor-rob-rue-others
But, but, but, he's a Republican in good standing! Haha. Remember when being a Republican once meant you favored free markets rather than being a crony capitalist whose business was dependent on the government dole?
This is where we all owe Trump such a debt of gratitude. He exposed how the Paul Ryan /Mitt Romney/Mitch McConnell GOP was just a corrupt racket.
Can we please believe our own eyes again? I don’t mean never give the benefit of the doubt or always judge on 1st impressions. I mean if that pic of DeWine was the first I’d seen, I’d note the rug, garage sale glasses, constipated squint, pervy smirk, indigent-corpse grade shirt, tie, and jacket, and my radar would suggest I watch my back. Instincts are God-given for good reasons, which is why progs tell us to judge only MAGA Republicans.
Lordy, but you win todays prize for most vivid word picture of a person and a wardrobe!
Every word of it. However, we have been programmed for the last sixty years to ignore our own God-given intuition and that being judgmental in any form is a sin. Of course that's a complete twisting of the Gospel as it says no such thing.
Very often (in fact usually) you CAN tell a book by it's cover, and people who ignore it are fools.
Now please describe Walz. You can include the ‘pervy smirk’. Tucker is in agreement with that. Skin-crawl creepy.
Creepy for sure, but he just comes across as a total idiot.
Some kids reportedly liked Coach Walz, but athletes do love attention. Maybe they didn’t notice how attentive he was.
He coached because that was where the kids were. 😖
He reminds me of Merrick Garland for some reason.
Everybody in and around the Biden admin has an impure vibe that feels pretty specific, and I'd rather not ask anybody, “So, you’re a lying creep, right?” They'll usually prove it anyway. There’s never been a better time to fine tune our spiritual discernment.
Free money to the corrupt politicians that own the properties.
But…I’ve been over that barrel a time or two. We have a name you can add to that corrupt list here in Texas, where I’ve held my nose and voted for John Cornyn. But the choice was either him or his Democratic opponent. The lesser of two evils? IDK
I saw Tucker's interview with Jesse Kelly and he talked a lot about what a scumbag Cornyn is.
He is a known RINO, but when you have someone like him with the establishment behind him and name recognition, it’s tough to get them out of office.
I saw that interview as well, it was good!
John Cornball is safely entrenched for another two years and knows it too well. I hope and pray he just retires and doesn't sneak into McConnell’s shoes. If not, the lesser of two evils won’t be so clear. He and the increasingly comfortable Cruz are making me rethink term limits. The Texas GOP is in favor of recall referendum, but we’ll need lots of luck getting politicians to support that bill.
He sure did! Wait until we see how small our Government will be very soon!!
ALWAYS follow the money. Kathleen Janoski, always on top of the story!!! Thank you Kathleen!
As I said when this hit, these cretins in these small towns are being grifted by the Feds, and they love it!
Of course, just another grifter taking advantage of the taxpayers.
This is just disgusting how they’re selling out their own people.
HHS along with Homeland Security needs to come in and bust them and the landlords; it’s called “single family housing” for a reason! These property owners — the mayor included —who are kicking out Americans so they can charge rent by bodycount are nothing but greedy, selfish criminal scam artists.
I recall that several other cities have done exactly the same thing, evicting impoverished citizens and handicapped US military veterans from Section 8 housing, so that migrants could come and squat in those homes.
I wonder how they are kicking out tenants? Has anyone read about that? Do they raise the rent to a level they can get for illegal tenants and then people have to move out because they can't afford it? I haven't seen information on this yet.
In the article that Kathleen posted above 👆, they interviewed people in Springfield and one resident was quoted as saying: “You've got landlords right now that's kicking the tenants out,” Clos said. “They say, 'look here, we're raising rent up to $1,500 a month.' They say, 'I can't afford it.' 'You can't afford it, there's the door we'll bring somebody else in.' It's all about the mighty dollar now…”
So yes, sounds like they just raise the rents to an unsustainable level for the Americans living there.
and yet there are people on this thread who still hate and trash talk the HOMELESS. do we ever wonder how they got there?
THIS IS ONE BIG REASON.
Of course the Mayor does! And none of us are surprised! I hope Ohio voters figure it out regarding DeWine and thd Springfield mayor. As time goes on I have no doubt other facts will come to light.
...which means he's on the federal government NGO grift....
Of course he does 😡

Excellent article.
wow
this trafficking is never ending
What.a.joke.
So no wonder he won't kick them out.
Wow!!
Surprise surprise 😑🙄
stealing for facebook. thanks.
Who is paying the rent?
Taxpayers.
As usual.

Thanks for posting this! This story needs a LOT more attention and spotlighting! Another "follow the money" truth expose'.
Follow the $$$$$$$$
EXCELLENT FIND! thank you!
Sorry… didn’t see you posted this article first… quite long, but a worthwhile read
Great article and shared all over!!
DeSwine. That’s even better than DeWhine. When is his term up…can’t be too soon.
He and JB Pritzker should take a cruise to, oh, maybe Mars, together. Miss Whitmer could pilot the rocket.
Take KS gov Laura Kelley along...and all those RINOS that got her elected.
Give them all some of those special pagers.
Sadly, not until 2026
I like to see that I'm not the only one who calls him DeSwine!
Without a doubt
Also a native Ohioan and registered Republican. My family has never voted for DeSwine and neither have any of my friends. Pretty sure he was selected rather than elected. His term runs until 2026, which seems lightyears away. We've GOT to get him out but, then, there's always the chance someone worse like a full-blown Democrat could end up as Gov.
I think he's at term limit in 2026, Ohio only allows two consecutive terms at governor I believe. But that means we have to make sure to be involved in the primary, or else this state GOP is going to find someone just as bad.
My Ohio family has certainly not voted for him in any primary.
Yeah same here, have left the governor blank since the Dems also only nominate psychopaths. Can't wait to get DeWine out.
❤️
Jeff, please check your headline. It’s spelled “RELATABLE.”
You got that right sister!
🛎🛎🛎‼️🎯🎯🎯👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Has anyone else looked at their summer stats from Substack? Apparently C&C isn’t in my top 3 even though it’s the only one I read every single day.
I’ve also noticed that occasionally when I use the search to find C&C, it won’t come up until I’ve typed out the whole title, but several others that aren’t that close are suggested.
This is weird. Is Jeff not impressing the right people? Anyone else notice this? Just something random I noticed.
Valerie - I'm a Substack author too. Substack is compromised or hacked. Most likely, both.
Because this is where people read the truth and "they" want none of that.
Thank you, I kind of I assumed that it was content based. It’s also strange to me that he’s listed under ‘health’ stacks when he mostly does US and world news, but that could be because of his title. On the plus side, he was numbers 1 and 2 in ‘health’ articles yesterday (Thursday’s and Friday’s).
Jeff can change what categories his pub appears to on the dashboard - I think you only get a couple of options...
CS - Thank you for this comment. I went to my dashboard and realized that I didn't choose categories for my stack back when I created it this past May. I write about the white fibrous clots that embalmers have been finding.
I chose "Health and Wellness" and "Science" for a secondary category. It will be interesting to see if my subscriber base increases. I'm over 1,000 right now.
Thank you for your work Laura… I read your Substack as well. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
God bless you, God Bless America!
You are, I assume, aware of John O'Looney, funeral home director, and his published clot findings? And of Substack authors Dr. Philip Macmillan, Linda Lazarides, Laura Kasner, and the standalone website "Totality of Evidence"? You are not alone in tracking down the facts about clots.
Roger. Yes. My partner, Tom Haviland and I talk to
John O’Looney often.
Tom has been interviewed a couple of times on Dr. Philip McMillan as well as Dr. John Campbell.
I have links to these interviews on my stack:
https://laurakasner.substack.com/p/embalmer-blood-clots
CS - I'm also having an issue with Substack no longer sending me email notifications when someone replies to my comments. I only receive "like" notifications. I can get around it by going to "activity", but this is very cumbersome and easy to miss comments - which can be pure gold!
I started having the same issue. AND, when I click to look at my own comment to read replies it will no longer take me to my actual comment but make me sift through all the other comments in the thread to find mine. It’s cumbersome and I can no longer quickly converse with the ones replying to my original comment. So many people are not getting replies from me anymore. I wondered if this was on purpose.
I noticed that too! So annoying but then I also found that I can get directed to the actual new comment response from my desktop. I usually read C&C on my iPad. Try a different device, see what happens
I’ve been noticing that also… I post a comment and when someone posts back, I don’t get a notification… I used to be on Parlor, and then they took it down! 🔥🔥🔥 Where will we all go if Substack gets taken down?
BTW, Parler is back. Tucker advertised it and said that they have their own server platform now.
FYI: https://substack.com/settings and its the under notifications heading:

Telegram or Signal or Discourse?
Same
I have been having the same issue! So frustrating 😕
The comment trail works properly for me in the Substack Android app, but not on my Win11 PC. Since both are configured with the same notification settings, this is (as Spock would say) illogical.
I went in and checked my settings for notifications on my computer and they are all set to notify me correctly. So it makes me think “they” are pulling strings on this platform too. Ugh 😣
I was recently in my Substack account on my computer instead of the app, and there is an option to turn off notifications specifically for likes. Maybe they did an update and turned that off for content providers? Might be worth rechecking.
Thanks Valerie, but I’ve checked this setting. Argh!!!!
https://substack.com/settings and its the under notifications heading - on a computer:

Me, too. Still get notifications of likes. So what I'm doing is opening the like notification and clicking on "your comment", which takes me to my comment and all replies. Irritating, though.

I no longer get email notifications either. However, I don't depend on those anyway and I just use my browser to go the sub stacks I want to read each day.
Its might be a setting under notifications for writers BUT for readers it must be somewhere else - they have changed things around.... But I get emails for likes and replies... MAYBE SOMEONE KNOWS WHERE THE SETTING FOR THAT IS LOCATED NOW....
This is so interesting to me, thank you.
also alot of pubs are probably in the news categories BUT his should be appearing high in the rankings given the # of subscriber BUT paid subscribers might be what Substack pushes...
CS - I don't feel right opening my stack to paid subscriptions since what I write about could possibly save lives by causing "vaccine hesitancy". No one can accuse me of being a grifter.
I'm sure that hurts me since Substack can't make any money off of my writings.
Good point. I am enjoying the info y’all are giving me so much… I’m overly analytical so you’re are making me happy explaining how SS works. 😂
100%. And comments are not out there as well. I used to get many notifications on responses and now there are practically none. And...Laura, have you checked your settings on your publishers dashboard? Because there is one on there that is super creepy and by default it is set ON. "Allow AI training
Allows platforms like ChatGPT and Google Bard to train on your content. Disabling may limit your discoverability on these platorms."
Oh, and THAT is not my typo!! I just copied and pasted from my dashboard.
Exactly. I never get my "replies" anymore.
So it's hard to keep a dialogue.
Sorry if I haven't responded to you Sadie.
It’s happening to me too! I was frustrated by it but now hearing it’s happening to all of us makes me realize they either did it on purpose or…..they did it on purpose. 😉
Thanks Ryan…I don’t think you have left me hanging. I always appreciate your responses. ♥
Miss you, Ryan. Now I get why.
I don't see that on my settings dashboard. Where is it?
UPDATE: Ah, I found it, it's on the publisher settings (I was looking on my subscriber settings).
Thanks!
Is the publisher settings on substack? I'm not that tech savy.
When you're logged in, go to your own publisher dashboard, and then look under settings there. That's where it is. Hope that helps.
Publisher settings, I assume, are if YOU publish your own Substack. Since you don't have a Substack listed beside your name, I assume you probably don't publish. So maybe won't see/have access to those settings.
SadieJay - I just looked at that setting. And yes, it's of course set to "on".
However, this may not be as bad as we think it is. At times, it may even be helpful.
I just think the worst of everything. I am so jaded NOW. Thanks Covid!
There’s a spot on the dashboard where you can send feedback to Substack.
Except ‘they’ call the truth ‘mis/dis information’. I think they would start screaming HELLLP I’m Melttttting if they uttered the truth.
Hmmm, this is something....
Boo. That's very disappointing to read.
Which is why we should all note that Childers Law has its site at https://smartbizlaw.com/
If Jeff gets suppressed on substack I trust he'll post something there.
C&C is over the target.
Representing James Okeefe.... and winning has undoubtedly garnered all sorts of attention.
I do daily meme posts https://covidsteria.substack.com/p/great-reset-meme-index
- try searching Substack for Memes and see what comes up... HINT: Its not me, its a leftist publication that you will get...
I’ve noticed that too, even just on their weekly recommended stacks. Sometimes a topic will look interesting but once I get into it it’s always left. And they ALWAYS have E Jean Carroll at the top of the recommended list. Ewwww Absolutely no.
Yes this is what I see. An unbalanced push to leftist propaganda. I started sending people actual hard links to my favorite Substacks like C&C so that I can bypass any search engine corrupting their efforts to find them.
Same for me
I delete the weekly recommendations in my email.
I have lovingly commandeered your memes.✌️
Valerie, I too am an author and I wrote about this last year: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/the-subtle-yet-coordinated-attack
and great timing because I have another one I wanted to release on the topic!
Your linked post is behind a paywall though :( ... I have an unorganized list of many 100s of resources in my community resources' comments sections: https://covidsteria.substack.com/p/community-covid-resources/comments
Just updated it so you can read it!
I think they are shadow banning or have manipulated the algorithm e.g. search for memes and I don't show up - a leftwing Substack does BUT I also don't have meme in my Substack title BUT my meme posts should be showing up more in their searches... Also, don't forget that Twitter is largely shadow banning Substack links...
I was taken aback at how much I’ve read - word count was over 1 million! However, when I think about the fact I essentially get allllll my news and info from substack, it starts to make sense.
Same problem here but with el gato malo. Paying subscriber but never in my feed. WTF substack?
This happens to me with The Naked Emperor stack, to which I’m a paid subscriber. I have to search for it every single day. El gato 8m a free subscriber and it always shows up in my feed, lol.
Same here for NE.
Don't you get NE posts in your email? I do. As far as I know, all of them. And I am not a paying subscriber.
I have emails turned off
Turn them back on. I started using the app 10 days ago and disliked it so deleted the app and am back to email.
I'm not getting replies to my comments at EGM's board.
It just started happening about 2 weeks ago.
Hmmm... I see posts in a feed here on a laptop BUT I dont use the app: https://substack.com/inbox
When I saw the “summer stats” it reminded me of when Facebook would get everyone to upload an old photo or something as stupid…it seems like a waste of time to me, and a tad suspicious..I know what I read.
Well fb uploading old photos was all about creating a database of you throughout your life for facial recognition…
Obviously… I’ve been off social media for about 7 years, best thing I ever did. Sad that Substack has some of the same traits
Are you subscribed to his free subscription?
I get an email every Mon-Sat and click on the little "LIKE" heart if I want to read it on substack, but I usually just read it in the email, then pop into substack for the comments section.
Oh I turned off email long ago, I don’t need one more thing in my email. I use the app, and the things I subscribe to are at the top of the list. The issue happens when I’m already in the app and get a notification that c/c has posted and I can’t get it to pop up.
Valerie,
I'm just the opposite, I don't need one more app, lol. I stopped putting apps on my phone, because I refuse to upgrade to 5G, and my phone doesn't work with many of the new apps out there either, even if it had lots more storage capacity to load it up with apps.
I check my email every morning and leave that window open, and drink coffee and play The Epoch Times Games/Puzzles on another window, and check out a few headlines while I wait for my email from C&C. I get a kick out of bouncing around between tabs and windows.
I'm on my desktop computer sitting in my comfy office chair at home with a "real" keyboard, lol. I've only been "retired" since January and have had only 5 months getting used to living in a new state, so I like my "old" tech that I'm familiar with, and I know how to work around glitches that happen on my familiar set up.
I only subscribe to a few things like C&C, and visit everybody else sporadically based on the topic of interest.
So, I am sorry you have this frustration and I'll just pop out of the conversation now, because I am not helpful for your particular difficulties.
Blessings,
Anita
"A real keyboard" .... my Number One reason for reading and commenting on a PC and not on the phone. Fat fingers!
I have an IPhone 8 Plus that won't do 5G either, but I suspect we will all eventually have no choice. My husband and I had a second phone, and were using a much older iPhone SE that only went to 3G. One day a totally free iPhone (the Xr model) arrived in the mail, and ATT said it was because 3G no longer worked and we needed to have a 4G capable one. They had previously tried to get us to upgrade using their usual enticements to get an expensive new phone, but we never did that. Rather than lose our monthly phone payments for that phone, they sent out the free phones. I think eventually they will make the 4G phones useless.
I still have an Android. Never had an iPhone. :)
When I go to my reading list on my phone, he’s in the top three and it’s the only post I read daily. On my computer, he’s dead last because he’s the first Substack I subscribed to. What I’ve noticed is that my email from him doesn’t come in and when I come to Substack and refresh my inbox or his page, nothing happens. Yesterday, I refreshed his page and my email every five minutes. I finally got his stack at about 9:50. I saw in the comments that people had been making comments since at least 9:25. According to my email account, that email came through at 8:58. But it didn’t. I know because I kept checking.
Today I came on the app and refreshed his page; nothing. I then went directly to my email and there it was. This happens consistently on my computer at work, as well, where either the stack or the email appear eventually, but very delayed.
I read on the app but this happens to me sometimes too. I’ll get the notification that C&C has posted, but when I click it won’t be there. I’ll go to inbox and my front page and refresh… nothing. Hence why I’m sometimes having to search for it.
Same here. I thought it was strange. C & C was at least my top
Even though I subscribed, I still have to type in “Childers” every morning to find it.
Why don’t you have Coffee & Covid on your Home Screen or Favorites? I just open that every day and everything is immediately there. No typing or searching.
Sometimes it’s not there, especially if I was already reading in the app when it was published. That was my point.
So ‘weird’! All of these random things...
I’m assuming Jeff had bought a Bible or two and is on the watch list.
Nor in mine. I'm a non-paying customer here, so thought that's why C&C wasn't listed. I also read Racket News (Tiabbi) - every post. I pay for it; it was not listed. Alex Berenson's Substack is shown as my top, even though Alex has apologized to subscribers several times for his sporadic posting due to working on his federal case. Fishy!
Ok ok! Same for me. Berenson listed first, and I do read him but not every single article. Same for Taibbi too… I smell shenanigans.
Yes, I’ve noticed this. I’ve never checked my stats (not sure how lol), but it has seemed odd to me when I have to go looking for it…
Well somehow I ended up with my own stack...but I never set it up.
And I'll never intentionally have one because I'm a horrible writer.
You probably commented enough that the algorithm decided you wanted your own stack. Too bad that same algorithm can’t figure out what type of information I’m interested in. 🙄😂
Algorithms are eventually going to eliminate agency
It’s something that just popped up on my home page, I don’t know how to go find it. If you scroll down through ‘explore’ it’s a post that will pop up and say something like ‘see what you read this summer, click here to see your summer stats’.
"I’ve been holding off calling this out, since everybody makes mistakes, especially me, but I can’t just stand it anymore. Since early summer, I’ve been seeing a disquieting trend of basic grammar and spelling mistakes creeping into top-tier corporate media stories."
These cretins are the face of affirmative action, DEI and too big to fail.
A place where you are encouraged to use large type and double spacing.
A place where creativity can be created by emancipating it from someone who did the work.
A magical utopia where parentheses can walk off pages, free of their shackles!
Or it may be simply that schools haven't focused on spelling and grammar for years now, instead instructing students to rely on spell check and suggested words. "Diffuse" is not misspelled, so it would not have prompted a writer to check. But I have noticed lots of spelling and grammar errors too, and it drives me nuts.
My high school son is taking a composition course through our local community college. The instructor actually advises students to run their essays through AI chat to see if it suggests word changes or finds grammatical errors.
More troublingly, a focus on correct grammar and word choice is seen as......(wait for it...) racist, white supremacy, neo-Colonialism.
Literally everything is white supremacy. I had waffles for breakfast, probably white supremacy.
Only if you used Aunt Jemimah syrup!
Now called Pearl Mill Baking Company. Sigh.
Pearl Mill? Like, grinding up white things?
😂
No. It's much more complicated than that, Valerie!
We are "far-far-far right" super-duper-ultra-maga election/science denying racist insurrectionist!
… who are almost always proven right, but the correction is on the back page of the NYT so no one notices but us.
Exactly.
It's sucks being "wrong" because you're RIGHT 3-6 months before the lemmings.
🤣😆
I’m sure someone out there could find a way to make it about white supremacy… or maybe the patriarchy… or even both! 😑🙄
If it's white, then it must be white supremacy!
You had breakfast--THAT'S white supremacy!!
Please understand that racist, white supremacy, Neo-Colonialism, and almost everything else they call us are all code words for one thing that must be destroyed: CAPITALISM. That is why BLM burned black-owned businesses in the 2020 riots, because those owners were capitalists (aka, the black face of White Supremacy). When you understand this, a whole lot more makes sense.
100%--if you are a stickler for grammar and spelling you are uptight (aka white) and not taking racial trauma into account 🤣
OK now I can't stop thinking of all the other word usage errors that bug me.
Discreet/discrete
Site/cite/sight
And don't even get me started on apostrophes!
Past participle use seems to have disappeared: sank / sunk; sneaked / snuck. In usage, "snuck" is replacing "sneaked", which just sounds wrong!
When I was in school I was taught that snuck was not a word.
Correct: He SNEAKED in the house.
Incorrect: He SNUCK in the house.
It floors me how many articles and people inappropriately use the words ‘then’ and ‘than.’ ‘Then’ is something that follows. ‘Than’ is a comparison.
He ate an apple and THEN a pear.
He would rather buy an apple THAN a pear.
Also driving me nuts in writing is how they use it's instead of its, there for their, things like that.
And where did ‘have ran’ (as in “I have ran into him at church.”) come from? I hear some otherwise eloquent speakers use this and it makes me shout “have run” out loud. My mother was 1st gen Italian (bullied, called ethnic slurs, etc) and would correct my grammar every time, all day long. She worked hard to make sure her children were well-spoken.
I mentioned this too before I read your comment! It drives me crazy, but while the past participle is being lost in constructions that require a past participle, those same past participle forms are being used as a simple past tense. It's crazy....I don't think kids are taught grammar at all in schools any more.
I’ve noticed that too and it saddens me 😞
Now correct grammar is racist, doncha know!
Don't get me started an weary/wary/leery....
They/them for an individual person really bothers me.
My response is, "how many are you?" Our house is divided on this one because, while we both believe in two sexes and that the current lexicon accounts for this, I would allow for some new word(s) -zee/zim for example - over misusing existing words. One of the questions around this whole kerfuffle is: how often does one use a third person pronoun when in that person's presence anyway? Has anyone heard of an alternative for "you"? Other than thou, of course!
Be kind. I'm terrible with grammar...but I try to do my best.
Ryan, at least you are trying! It seems as though most people do not even care to try anymore. I do try to offer a measure of grace to those for whom spelling, grammar, and punctuation is difficult, as I would like the same grace back when dealing with math! 😆 However, I have no patience for "professional" writers for news, magazines, etc. who publish articles with typos in them. It is their job to produce clean, clear copy for the reading public!
Mrs. "the Knife"
I'm really good at math.
So we can help each other!...;]
Deal!! 🤣
Mrs. "the Knife"
Ugh, yes!!! Right there with you!!! 😩😩😩
Exactly
Or history!
There is no better cautionary tale than history.
That's exactly what they want; they want to hide the two most important lessons from history:
1. The enigmatic lesson that people forget history
2. That the only true law of history, is the law of unintended consequences.
Why?
So they can do the same shit that didn't work before....AGAIN.
Oceania has always been at war with East Asia.
They've adopted that old line of "If at first you don't succeed, try try again."
Plus: Whatever happened to the subjunctive tense? If I were an editor you would see it more.
I see what you did there!
Learned these things only when I homeschooled my kids.
No one knows what that is anymore. Not taught, never learned.
Nice one!
I learned about the subjunctive when I took German in Jr. High school, not in English class for a few years more.
But I can't imagine a public junior high school offering German now. Seems you get Spanish (admittedly vital here in CA) and Chinese only.
Exactly. There are so many examples everywhere of those kinds of errors, and it drives me nuts too 😡
Public schools teach nothing nowadays. Before I had to give up my college teaching job b/c of mandates, I taught First-year Writing at a CA State University, and got to see first hand the extent of the disaster that is K-12 public education.
And even among the kids who know better --were home- or private-schooled and have proper spelling and grammar chops-- there is still that "I would never call it out because that would be making another person feel bad" attitude.
sew, sow, so?
Having worked on the admin side of things and spent years correcting documents for engineers, I can always tell when someone used SpellCheck to "proofread" their document, or was just too lazy to do even that!
Mrs. "the Knife"
Me, too.
The past participle forms are being lost....I cringe when I hear things like "I should have went" etc. Ugh! And it's often from seemingly educated people that should know better.
You are so right. It's as if educators assume we are all too stupid to learn our own language properly.
The diffuse/defuse example is one of my pet peeves as well. Another is "reign" as in "Biden is trying to reign in inflation." (It must be nice to be the king.)
You can always tell who is relying on spellcheck and who actually knows how to write.
This is exactly why I taught my kids to write in cursive.
I tell my kids that cursive will be a secret code soon.. even AI won’t be able to read it
Lolol. I told mine it'll be pig Latin for freedom "speak easys".
My kids never did get “Ix-nay on the oopid-stay” as said by the warthog in the Lion King. Still makes me LOL.
I don't remember where I saw it, but someone recently made the argument that cursive is no longer taught because the flow of writing in cursive supports the process of putting maturing thoughts from brain to paper - and "they" don't want that!
I drive a stick shift, it’s also a declining skill. Btw, only one of my 3 adult kids can drive it. 🙄
Bring out the ole rotary phones and have them try.
It's like watching chimpanzees with the monolith in the opening scene of 2001: A Space Odyssey
I used to give riding lessons during the 80s and 90s, and in our tack room was an old rotary dial phone. After a lesson, a young girl about 8 or 9 years old asked me, "What is that?" I replied, "What is what?," not knowing to what she was referring. She touched the phone and asked again, "What is this?" I told her it was a phone. She replied, "No, it isn't. It doesn't have any buttons!"
I guess I am still a bit anachronistic, because my cell phone is a flip phone that has buttons, whilst most people have smart phones that no longer have buttons!
Mrs. "the Knife"
P.S. I still have that old rotary dial phone! 🤣
https://youtu.be/1OADXNGnJok?si=GqQ8TRGBr66PPQVC
Hilarity ensues!
That's great! And instructive. My first instinct is to shake my head at their struggle but then I realize that I did not come by my knowledge of rotary phone usage by intuition, but instead by instruction and/or observation. I am reminded of playing Mario Bros. on the first generation Nintendo with my much younger cousins. I would just move along until one told me to crouch down and slide under a block then stand up whereupon a power up would appear. Without their knowledge I would never have known that power up was there or how to get it.
I wonder when they stopped teaching cursive. Kids used to get books to practice cursive, and that was at a fairly young age, perhaps 2nd or 3rd grade.
My pet peeve with language is… when did the word ‘whoa’ become ‘woah’? That doesn’t even make sense if you’d were taught phonics. Probably white supremacy.
My daughter was born in 1970, and by the time she was going into kindergarten I was aware that schools were abandoning the phonics that I learned to read with. They had latched onto "word recognition" as a method of reading rather than sounding out letters. Kids would look at a picture of a horse with the letters "horse" under it and pronounce it as "pony". Yikes! So we taught our daughter to read using phonics well before she went to school.
I’m the same vintage as your daughter but I learned phonics. My kids didn’t and none of them can spell. Worse, they don’t teach or expect cursive writing. Had to teach that one ourselves.
Woe is me....
"What differance doe's it macke". Hellary Clinton
Exactly!!!!! Sooooooo annoying!!! 😡
"Lose" versus "loose" is another one. If one looses an arrow in the woods he is likely to lose it among the trees.
For awhile I have noticed what I call "word inflation" where a verb is followed by totally unnecessary words. "Revert back" is one example. "Revert" means to go back, and doesn't need a redundant "back" to follow. It is not possible to "revert forward" which I guess one could think is the opposite. Here are some more:
Lower down, raise up
Return back
Revert back
Splice together
Combining them together
Ensued thereafter
Merge together
I think this may have started as a way for media people to try sounding more intelligent or hip and then caught on with the public ("granular" and "my bad" come to mind).
And one more while I'm in a whiny mood -- using "There's" to refer to a plural noun instead of "There are...". "There's many ways to speed up your PC."
Ok, rant finished. My apologies...

I would add that people don’t know how to correctly use the verb form of words. For example, “Setup your computer and then login.” should be typed “Set up your computer and then log in.”

…after visiting the ATM machine!
Industry jargon with acronyms results in a lot of that kind of thing, especially as what words are represented by the acronym are forgotten. Ask a youth what ATM stands for and wait for hilarity to ensue.
I like that lol!
Ahhh, one of my fellow Bozos On This Bus!
Love it--it's the old "Think I'll say 'utilize' instead of 'use'" trick.
I am all for an expansive lexicon and prefer to be as precise as practicable and practical but there are certainly those who use longer words only in an attempt to sound more knowledgeable or intelligent than they are. Our current VP springs to mind.
Daily Mail went from using the interns to using AI, they have huge grammar error now and even unfinished sentences. It’s pretty clear they must have fired the editors.
very diffusive subject
I resemble that remark
Lolol
😂😂
I just saw a group email from someone who resembles a potential DIE hire at my workplace, a very large hospital, requesting to “please excuse any spelling or grammar errors.” I guess that request takes the place of actually learning basic spelling and grammar these days. Embarrassing and sad.
A pet peeve is when a local online news organization includes a request at the end of every article to report any spelling or grammar errors. Isn’t it their job to do that?! Our society has fallen so far, smh.
Yeah, it's like 'crowd-sourced' everything these days, or 'citizen science.'
I'm like, "I will help you edit your writers when you start paying me some editor's wages, how 'bout that?"
My guess is dictation and spell-check, combined with no actual proofreading. Besides, grammar is racist!
Talk-to-text is full of errors. So distracting.
"FWEEDOM!", to quote Kamalama Ding Dong.
Did you see what Jeff did there with relatable? 😉
Damn I missed that completely. Genius stuff, Jeff!
I hate (!) to do this, but isn't it "parentheses"? Plural?
Yes. And don't hate doing it. I could use all the help I can get.
Plus I misspelled it.
Part of that has to do with my eyes going bad, and fat thumbs....while I'm driving...CRUNCH
🤣🤣
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Ephesians 6:12
By faith, turning to God in repentance, and the obedience that follows, the church is a rebuke to the principalities that rebelled!
Ephesians 3:9-10
". . . to bring to light for everyone what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God, who created all things, so that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places."
Well connected
I love that this gets quoted more days than not here, in the comments. Thank-you for the reminder!
NPR whined that, according to experts, hand-counting is slower and less reliable than electronic tabulation. " Do they mean like when they take weeks to 'count' the electronic votes to determine how many midnight one party only delivered votes they have to use to overcome Trumps winning number of votes? That kind of time delay? As for 'experts'. exactly who or what is an expert in vote counting? Do they offer degrees in counting votes? What college provides that? What qualifications does a vote counter actually have? Are they licensed?
I had the same thoughts about their “it takes too long” whine.
Also their stupid steal tactic of Vote by Mail takes too long. We should have a Winner declared on Election night and not try to rewind the Football game to see if they can get a different outcome. Also, “tabulators” take too long on Election Day when it causes the Polls to shut down?
Not sure if it's just an Ohio thing, but some are wearing "Vote Amish " T-shirts. I think that term was coined by Dr. Frank
I fail to understand how DeWhine is still in office.
What a despicable human
As a former Ohioan, DeWine was Selected, not Elected, just like Biden. Ohio hates DeWine.
Thanks for the info.
Is the citizenry still able to remove him?
Here in Oregon we had Komrad Kate Brown as gov, her term was up so they selected Komrad Tina Kotek. More of the same. Gee, could it be because we’ve had mail-in ballots for 35+ years??? Gee, and dems for that long too? 🤷♀️🤬
Isn't it crazy how he retains power in the Ohio GOP?
And nearby Kentucky is even more conservative, yet managed to elect a Dumbocrat.
How we get in these positions?
Jesse Kelly talks about this very situation in his recent appearance with Tucker and he says it is the fault of the primary voters. First, most people don't show up to vote in the primaries so the person who ends up representing the ticket is chosen by the very few, likely incentivized voters who choose the guy who rewards them. It's a sad but true state of affairs.
Primaries have incredibly low turnout.
BSM - because of the algorithm found in the voter roles. Dr. Jerome Corsi has been making the rounds talking about this. Ohio is investigating.

Yikes!!!!!
What happened in 2020? Did it only happen on the national level? I don’t think our elections have been on the up and up for a long time.
I don't know about that. I volunteered in 2016 on election day keeping my eye out for shenanigans and I didn't see any. And I volunteered in Cuyahoga county.
Ohio has gone for Trump every time and has a mostly Republican Congress. I just wish we had a better Republican gubernatorial candidate during this time. My whole life Ohio was a swing state and now it isn't even considered that. Which is nice since I don't have to hear election commercials on the radio.
It's not always physically at the polling places. They are inserted through the electronic machines. There is an algorithm for each state. For example 90% of the 65 year olds voted in Cuyahoga County. 90% of the 65 years olds voted in Summit. 90% in Medina, etc. But go into a county in PA and 80% of the 65 year olds voted in every county there. Michigan, it may be 85% of 65 year olds in every county.
Look into Dr. Corsi, Dr. Frank, Election Integrity Network. It starts with cleaning the voter rolls.
They certainly are NOT in my state of California. And this is despite California being a solidly Democrat dominated state.
Well, I would posit that it's why California is a solidly Democrat dominated state...
Cheating.
Full on cheating. No one watches the down ballot races and part of that is because of 2020. This year you watch trump win by a landslide, yet all the conservative tickets fail. Every last one.
May Our Merciful God forbid.
Same with Sherod Brown... that one still amazes me too.
That one is so crazy. Ohio has kept him in his Dem senate position since 2007. Even as he promotes legislation that's bad for Ohio.
He came to my company once. I could feel his aura. He radiated disdain and borderline evil. I also don't know why Ohio keeps him in there. I've voted against him every time.
The teacher unions got Beshear elected. (If you believe that he actually won.) So many people were fooled by his “aw..shucks” demeanor. He CARED SO MUCH during Covid.
Follow the money.
Always!
I'm in Ohio. And I'm not sure DeSwine was "selected" instead of elected.
The reason I say that? This spring I started working part-time for a school system. It has been an eye-opener to say the least. Doesn't matter how bad things get financially, or how frequently they get sick thanks to 6+ boosters, they STILL hate Trump. All of 'em. TDS is the disease to beat. And I don't see us beating it without prying mainstream media from the grips of evil. THEY GET ALL THEIR NEWS AND OPINIONS from television!!
How bad is it? I have a friend in another state who grew up in WWII. She is from Germany ... fled the nazis. She can't stand Trump because "of the way he talks about women, and he's a convict." (Ya can't make this shit up ... she immigrated here and has had a good life thanks to America, but can't recognize propaganda even though she lived through it... and will likely help the communists with her vote because she is brainwashed.)
I have a friend who started working for a local school district right before COVID. She was generally pretty conservative in her views. That is no longer the case. The indoctrination in school systems is overwhelming. I have a neighbor who is a teacher in our school district and she was one of only 4 teachers who said no to the vax. She is also very awake about all the issues discussed here. I don't know how she has managed to remain unprogrammed, but I do think there are some people who are built differently.
That's really depressing about your friend from Germany. But even there, they have done an incredible job brainwashing Germans to loathe their country and denounce everything about it.
Yes, I think lots of us underestimate the influence and reach of people employed by the school systems and the government as a whole. These people all have a vested interest in more government and more spending.
Running Logic my thoughts on the schools and society in general is this. The radical “ hippies” of the 60’s saw that blowing up buildings and the like weren’t working so they became teachers, journalists, lawyers, judges, politicians, newscasters, etc. change the way of thinking and you’ve captured a generation and beyond. Jimmy Carter started the dept. of education and our test scores are way down but our stupidity is off the charts. How else can we explain the alphabet groups supporting hamas?
Teachers are the worst. My good friend watches NPR for her news! I shouldn’t have been shocked, but I bet she doesn’t support them financially and get her free Downton Abby mug! 🤣
I'm originally from Ohio and still have some family there. They are *all* brainwashed dems. My brother and I both escaped Ohio years ago and are both conservatives.
They dont like dewine, but dont do anything about it. And they all think Trump and Vance are racist bigots.
TDS is real. It's irrational. It's seemingly incurable.
MAGA needs to take over the Rep party in Ohio. It's the only way to get a good governor. DeSwine is very good at riding the line at being barely tolerable.
I really think that is his secret.
Here's a thought: if cheating is accepted as being rampant in the last Presidential election at the very least, why would or should we believe that it doesn't occur at other times, and in other than blue states?
If a government clearly and consistently lies to the populace, weaponizes various agencies to conduct lawfare against dissent, breaks or sidesteps the law to further its own goals, and more/worse, then would it be difficult to believe that the citizenry is not allowed the power to significantly change the system...?
It is so easy to quickly count the number of anything. As ballots are handed in, they are placed in batches of some count (10, 20, 30, pick one). When voting is over you count the number of batches + the last few ballots. During the vote each batch count is double- or triple-checked. You can announce the ballot count in about 10 minutes after voting is completed.
you also have to have someone else count the batches again and see if the person who originally counted them into the batch was honest, unfortunately, because there were a lot of mislabelled batch sheets in 2020
either that or have 2 people count them the first time, one from each party, like with poll watchers
And actually, I probably should have said, like with adjudicators
and the vids of "ballot handlers" tearing up Trump votes
Springfield, Ohio mayor owns properties that rent to Haitians.
Follow the money. Here is a link to the dirty details:
https://buckeyereporter.com/stories/664310242-special-report-renting-apartments-to-haitians-is-big-business-for-springfield-mayor-rob-rue-others
i wonder by what percentage of voting the CITIZENS of Springfield, OH decided to bring in 20,000 Haitian Newcomers?
Zero.
Uber them to the capital of Ohio. Then we’ll see how that works out for DeWine.
DeWine lives very near Springfield. His private residence is in Cedarville. I think he works mainly at his home office whenever possible.
Remember this, O Yahweh, that the enemy has reproached,
And a wickedly foolish people has spurned Your name.
Do not deliver the soul of Your turtledove to the wild beast;
Do not forget the life of Your afflicted forever.
Look to the covenant;
For the dark places of the land are full of the haunts of violence.
Let not the oppressed return dishonored;
Let the afflicted and needy praise Your name.
Arise, O God, and plead Your own cause;
Remember how the wicked fool reproaches You all day long.
Do not forget the voice of Your adversaries,
The rumbling of those who rise against You which ascends continually.
—Psalm 74:18-23 LSB
It's easiest to boil issues like Springfield down to one thing. Cui Bono? Who benefits? What did Gov. DeWine get in the Haitian deal? What did the local government officials get? Which NGOs got deals? What do those deals look like? Who runs those NGOs? What do they do with the money they're paid?
Was it Jeff who mentioned DeWine has a charity in Haiti?
Yes.
Did DeWine buy its assets, at a discount, from the Clinton Foundation?
Ohio is one of the worst states for child trafficking. I'll just leave it there.
I think I remember that as well
Mayor of Springfield, OH owns properties that rent to Haitians.
Follow the money.
Clinton Foundation
King George Owns everything and everybody , including the board and the crazy , greedy mayor
Steal it. No oversight. Just doing the Feds dirty work, semi- legally.
We`ll never know
Again, I recommend Tucker Carlson’s “Live Cities” Tour. 16 cities in a month. The guests have been fantastic. Jesse Kelly was so good. I listen to them on podcast.
Jesse was fired up!
The podcasts are excellent!
I thought about it, however it was just too expensive. Plus 3 hours each way on a Thursday night. : (
I thought about going to one of the Pennsylvania events too, Dr. Linda, but decided against it. They are both about 5 hours from me, one way, so that would make for a long, long day.
Bot , bot, bot
I am a retired middle school English teacher. Students do not know how to spell or use grammar correctly because schools are too busy teaching critical race theory and other “feel good” subjects. It was amazing to me how the students’ skills plummeted by the end of my career.
Yes. I also wonder if it has to do with not physically writing in cursive?
I mean there's something to be said about coordinating your thoughts and your hands in terms of remembering the relationship between an idea and grammar.
I can't like this comment enough. Kids aren't really even expected to write by hand at all, past a certain age. When I taught at the college and had students write in-class essays by hand, I was roundly excoriated by the students and by some fellow teachers for "disadvantaging" (another great word lol) the students who "performed better writing on a laptop." I was like, it's basic writing, if you can't do this you are in for a world of hurt out there IRL.... Some of the kids' writing though.....whoooboy. There is just such a drop off in spatial relationships and kinesthetic confidence among the youngsters now, b/c their lives are not 3-D & tactile enough. It's so sad.
I was teaching at a community college when I learned “conversate” was a word used as a verb that means the same as ‘converse’ 😂
No fan of cursive here. Having graduated with an engineering bachelor's degree in 1969, my preference is block lettering - all caps - just as we used to do on the drafting table.
Always legible and not subject to misunderstanding, that's the plus to block caps!
Well I'm certainly glad engineers use block letters. Can't make mistakes in engineering.
Otherwise bridges, etc. would collapse!...:]
I’m sure others herein wonder if the plummeting of student skills is not directly associated with the excessive numbers of “vaccines” forced on children to attend schools… it utterly astonishes me that the one natural control group in our failing at healthcare country is the Amish… just compare their unvaccinated health, their children’s unvaccinated skills and abilities to our nationwide public school children…
Add in the whole "social-emotional learning" aspect and we have a perfect recipe for creating non-thinking, compliant automatons.
My husband had a small business and hired some people who couldn’t spell the name days of the week.
The downward trend started decades ago. My wife graduated public high school in 1971; her favorite teacher told her that Wife was lucky she was getting out when she did, because, according to Teach, the schools were going to crap.
Good Glorious morning!! ❤️
Good morning from cheating Pennsylvania.
Hiiiii Pensy!! From Corrupt Chica!
How is it looking in PA now? Following Scott Pressler, it looks like his group Is swinging the voter base GOP.
The western part of the state - Pittsburgh and Allegheny County - is full of crooks and election stealers.
Reading “glasses” and “Cheatng” glasses Pennsylvania😆
What is with Jill Biden taking over the latest cabinet meeting?
- the excuse was that it was about women's health,
didn't Hillary try to take over healthcare during Bill's first term?
That's what came to my mind when I saw the clip of Joe introducing Jill, who was at the head of the conference table, so she could take over...
it's a safe bet that a lot more goes on behind the scenes once those cameras are off
Oh yes. I saw that! All I could say is obviously his brain is fried and can’t hold a meeting thus she had to! Smh!
Interesting
