Yeah I bet most of us could find a slew of Facebook or Twitter comments by these people where they say exactly that.

Not to mention all the "news" people saying the unjabbed should be banned from all public/social life, that the unjabbed should not be allowed to go anywhere in public including the grocery store, the doctor's office, or the hospital!

Here in Covidistan (WA state), we were not allowed to go to any restaurant, library, museum, theater, ball game, concert, etc. because a vax card was required for entrance. The Mr. missed out on attending Seahawks & Mariners games with his brothers because of those illegal & unConstitutional mandates. 😡😠

I missed out on my 50th College Reunion--the more poignant because 2 generations before me-- 5 women (not so many women took an A.B. in 1906 and 1914), and 2 in generation under me were alumnae--because only the vaxxed could attend. My daughter represented four generations of MHC women.

I am so sorry you missed out on your reunion. What a wonderful legacy for the women in your family! It is just so infuriating!

Early on, I tended to focus on people unable to be with family members while they were dying in hospitals and then unable to have/attend funerals. One of my grandmas passed away 3 weeks shy of her 100th birthday. No funeral, just some family members gathered in a living room. The weddings, new babies, bridal and baby showers. The graduations missed. Birthdays, celebrations of all kinds (other grandma turned 100 and we were "allowed" to drive past the care facility while she sat in her wheelchair on the sidewalk). And now, high school and college reunions.

We must never forget and must keep reminding others of what actually happened.

A grandma reaching 100—but for 3 weeks, and then no real gathering of those who loved her.

She was amazing - most people at our church considered her their "grandma"! The sanctuary would have been packed to the rafters, but of course the church was closed due to "King" Inslee's mandates. I am still having trouble forgiving church leaders for not standing up for the congregation's right to assemble, like Pastor Artur Pawlowski (sp?) in Canada. Pretty sure there aren't any Bonhoeffers in WA state.

I fell upon the Trucker protest, then remained glued, for weeks, to laptop screen while I washed draperies, windows et alia, having fallen into awareness of this movement, following from watching Jordan Peterson, and thus having witnessed Jordan Peterson tearfully announce that while previously, he had said he didn’t believe in God, but thought it necessary to behave as if he did so believe (….???), he now believed. From there I discovered Pastor Artur. And his experience with lawfare. [Side note: daughter and her husband became Canadian citizens this fall…..she laughed at having had to swear allegiance to King Charles, given that her forebears arrived here 404 years ago to escape the monarchy, with its insistance on supporting the Church.] Perhaps there were not any Bonhoeffers in 2020-21 in WA State, but do you suppose that from this dearth, a new descent may arise? Certainly it appeared to me, as I became a regular reader of C&C, and other Substacks, that I might be witnessing yet another Great Revival in America. I note increasing presence of the Christian viewpoint in blogs and comments on Substack—I have only been here since, perhaps, spring of 2021

Via, I would hope that there is a revival going on, that the last four years were enough of a wake up call to the comfortable Christian class that citizenship requires diligence, not out-sourcing. That we have to remain strong in our stance for what is Biblically right, not culturally right. I have attended the same church for 50 years (this fall) and I cannot even properly articulate how disappointed I am in the way the leaders just closed up the church and waited for Gov. Inslee to tell them they could open up again. Our nephew's church in PHX was one of only two churches in PHX that stayed open during the scamdemic. Their church attendance exploded - they had to go to three services and then they had to find a larger church property, for which they paid cash! Our church has gone from five services on Sat/Sun on two campuses, to two services on Sunday.

I am very grateful to have found Substack (through my doctor and Alex Berenson) and all the wonderful folks gathering here to encourage and lift up one another! It truly has been a balm to my soul! God has been gracious to provide a community where I can recharge my batteries, so that I can continue to interact with those around me who are so lost in the darkness.

Ask your church what they are doing to celebrate the 250th of 1776. It's a great opportunity for public education.

My niece in the army national guard was forced to use a separate locker room because she refused to vax.

While that is discrimination and wrong, perhaps she was spared from being shed on by all her vaxxed colleagues? Might be a blessing in disguise.

What kind of a team player are you? <sarc> My ex sister-in-law got the vaxx so she could go to a Buffalo Bill's game.

When I read the AFRU.com article, my first thoughts were it was tongue in cheek. Then read in the ABOUT section of AFRU, it said, "Science is true". And for kickers it said [AFRU] is "Karen Controlled. Absolutely"

No dates on anything is a turn off which makes go down its all fake.

Regarding Trump, plenty of character flaws I can look past, but the one that troubles me the most is he never apologizes, never admits a mistake. Has anyone ever heard him admit a mistake in judgement? He will never admit that the jabs were horrific. It is beyond his capacity to admit this fact. On the other hand, who would?

I wonder if part of it is about being sued. It seems like people others at the drop of a hat. If I was his lawyer, I expect would tell him to move forward and not say anything because it will not change the past. However, he is given an opportunity to right some wrongs and let’s see if he goes after Fauci and the rest of them.

He admitted mistakes during the Joe Rogan interview. So he is definitely capable.

Thank you Juju. I did not have the time to listen to the Rogan/Trump interview and only caught parts of it.

Your welcome. Unfortunately Covid wasn’t one of the mistakes he admitted making. That would have been nice. LOL But his admission to trusting the wrong people sort of spoke to how he realized he was misguided in many decisions he made. As well as the mistakes he made in his appointments. It’s a really good interview.

Yes, I am reading excerpts now. For now, we are where we are; what comes next--stay tuned and have pop corn on standby.
