Bret Weinstein represents the glaring difference between authentic scientists and glorified experts. Peer reviewed data doesn't amount to a hill of beans when the peers doing the peering are unprincipled charlatans. Over $20 billion dollars in fines (admittedly couch change) levied against pharmaceutical companies since the early 2000's for fraud, corruption, false claims and....wait for it....hiding safety data. Boggles the mind how the socially conditioned lemmings just keep lining up for more safe and effective "treatments."
I was prescribed Eliquis at one time. My holistic doctor suggested nattokinase instead. Used it instead and it is all natural. Does the same thing as the chemical prescription med.
Dang, wow, I didn’t even think of that. Hmmm. You don’t think it’s Trump holding them over a barrel? You think they’d really do more dirty tricks? And then as I write that, I answer my own question.. Yes, yes they might.
The approval process for Eliquis is shockingly corrupt, both Pfizer and the FDA were involved... bogus testing, outright lies, deadly side effects quashed... and this poison still was approved.
Remdesivir, which Pfizer manufactures and supplies for Gilead, is another despicable, corrupt approval story... still being used...
Abiding- I would be interested in any links can share about the Eliquis trials. Early summer this year, my 83 year old father was prescribed Eliquis. After two weeks he became so short of breath he could hardly walk 10 feet. He went to his PCP who immediately sent him by squad to the ER as his BP was dangerously low. He was diagnosed with cardiac tamponade and rushed into the procedure room where they removed 200ml of blood from his pericardium. He was lucky to be alive and after a three week hospital stay he made a full recovery. Two cardiologists argued about whether it was caused by the Eliquis. I would love to know what the trials showed.
My brother died of a brain-bleed at 64, Eliquis and later warfarin.
From AI:
The approval process for Eliquis (apixaban) was significantly delayed due to misconduct and errors identified in a clinical trial site in China. The U.S. FDA halted approval for nine months in 2012 after discovering that patients received the wrong medicines, records were secretly altered, and serious adverse events were unreported during the ARISTOTLE trial. The FDA also reported that some patient records had disappeared prior to inspections, and three Bristol-Myers Squibb employees, including a senior manager, were fired following the alleged cover-up. Although the FDA later concluded that the errors were not "exceptionable" and did not substantially affect the final positive results, many experts remain skeptical about what may have been overlooked. The FDA's medical team leader, Thomas Marciniak, noted that the statistical results for lower overall deaths from Eliquis might not be valid due to missing or erroneous data, and the company was not permitted to promote the drug based on those outcomes. These issues have been central to lawsuits alleging that Bristol-Myers Squibb and Pfizer misrepresented the drug’s safety and efficacy, concealed the lack of a reversal agent for bleeding, and failed to adequately warn healthcare providers of the risks.
Yah, very conflicted to be happy about cheap drugs. I think this has been played over and over. I am honestly very thankful, though it's a life of anxiety, to have to self treat until it's near ER time to take a med because we can't afford to take it as prescribed and then you find out that taking "as prescribed", and the bitchin you get when you need a refill, was deadly anyway. 😵😭😡😡😡😡😡....
Well some of them are insulin. So that’s a little different. Also if people are going to take medicines at least they won’t be putting themselves into debt trying to pay for them and Pharma companies won’t make as much money on them either.
Cheaper diabetes proven meds are a good thing. Yes, lifestyle and diet can be better, but unless people are motivated to do so, they should get the pharmaceuticals that work without added stress. If the docs Rx responsibly.
Yup, Eliquis is another horrible abuse of the public for profit.
Once on it, immediately stopping Eliquis is extremely dangerous, so you MUST pay them to continue or risk death.
"The ARISTOTLE trial found that premature discontinuation of Eliquis was associated with a significant number of strokes, highlighting the immediate and severe risks involved."
Crazy isn’t it? Why can’t Americans stay thin? Why are so many obese and instead of just eating less they would rather take a fat shot that can paralyse their intestines, requiring surgery to correct the problem. Does anyone know? You can charge a penny for pharma drugs, but wouldn’t you rather stay healthy, so you don’t have to take pharmaceuticals?
Just a thought: I was wondering why Eliquis? Why not other drug? We know that jabs or covid itself caused microclotting. And microclotting causes organ dysfunction. Big Harma knows it and they know Trump knows about it. Eliquis makes it less likely for clots to form and from my observation many jabbed people benefit from it. But Eliquis 30 day supply cost can be up to 500$ and more without insurance coverage. Harmaceutical companies even have so called patient assistance programs to ease medication costs.
So they caused the problem but they also had a drug for it and they expected big profit. Trump just took it away.
Ban all "peer review" of scientific articles, because it is the primary cause of stagnation in research. Those "peers" all profit from current orthodoxy and want to suppress threats to their revenue streams. Instead, invite the entire public to review and comment on research.
Weinstein does what a scientist is supposed to be doing...the complete opposite of a criminally narcissistic bribed, coerced and corrupted expert (See Offitt, Fauci, Hotez, et al). Granted, an extremely rare bird these days.
Thank you for speaking out with some sanity, it is so difficult to keep reading the same shit over and over so the ignorant beings may some day get the whole point
“And this will be the sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,
“Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased.”
We recently watched Linus recite those verses in perhaps the most well-known scene from an ancient animated TV cartoon special the world has ever known, and it brought a tear to my eye. Despite the fact that this 2-minute monologue has been part of my life for decades now. Timeless truths and expressions of overwhelming love seem to do that more often as I get older. “For God so loved the world…”
Wise to have a hard copy, of everything, Margot. A I and the digital world will manipulate or eliminate everything that goes against the narrative of those building the new system.
And that, Charlie Brown, is the problem with eliminating books.
I would love to see a times interview of several of the "older generation" with several houses and fat retirement plans clearly lay out what condition they were in when they were 27 years old. Success develops with a thought out plan, perseverance and delayed consumption. Its rare that you inherit it!
Yeah I didn’t have squat when I was 27. I was in my 40’s before I was able to buy a house and mine is quite modest. But while my parents helped me get a PhD they never gave me everything. I also started working on my dad’s farm at 12. First paying job was at 15 and made minimum wage for ag work. $1.00/hr. So cry me a River.
When I was about sixteen my dad agreed to buy me a nice pair of riding boots that cost the princely sum of $110, if I worked with him that summer on his portable sawmill. I did, and it wasn't at all fun, but I did like those boots!
You bet! One of the first things I remember my dad telling me, probably around age four or five, as he handed me a chunk of firewood half my size to put on the stack was "he who works, eats". Never raised his voice, was always gentle, and always got the point across.
What some are describing as a generalized discontent among young people misses the nuance of who might have a legitimate gripe. Young white men have had their employment prospects savaged by DEI, which is overt race and sex discrimination. It’s not subtle. It’s also clearly a 14th amendment violation and illegal by any standard, and yet it has been widespread policy in both the private sector and government. And when they verbalize their experience they are again savaged by the beneficiaries of this discrimination as whiny and privileged. This article is one of several that have gone viral lately: https://www.compactmag.com/article/the-lost-generation/
I knew, or learned very quickly post discharge from the USAF in 1977, RJ.
While practicing for an interview, my mentor said you are doing great and are well qualified (blue collar civil service position) but don't expect to be hired.
I was a victim of DEI before discrimination was shortened to an acronym.
Yep! This younger generation has been handed the keys to vast opportunities and they whine! The popular culture has taught them well! They "deserve" all the things that previous generations had to work very hard and sacrifice for! I do not have much sympathy for the over-indulged. Most older Americans have worked for many many years to be in a position to afford a few luxuries later in life! Man up youngins!!!
The younger folks can’t live without their $7 Starbucks drinks and manicures and pedicures, etc. They complain about not having money to buy a house, but they are great at wasting money.
Cars, vacations, booze and more. They could never survive a recession, the likes of which our parents lived through and learned how to sacrifice. The greatest generation passed their values down to my generation.
We bought our first house when I was 25. Married at 21. We both had very every level salaried positions, but we lived on my husband's salary and saved 100% of mine. This served the purpose of saving a substantial amount over those few years for a down payment on a starter home and making it possible for me to quit work and be a stay at home mom when our children were born. We are used to living on one salary, so we didn't have to change our budget at all for me to stay home.
SO and I were in our 40s when we bought our first home over 2 decades ago. We didn't complain about being that much older. And in today's dollars, we earned a lot less than the younger whiners now. To get there, we didn't go on vacations, ate meals at home, made our own coffee, and rented in lower-class neighborhoods. To me, too many people are comparing themselves to others. Envy, jealousy...
Same. Drove an old car. Brown-bagged lunch my entire career. Ate dinner at home. Didn't take vacations. Now I have it 'made' because over time (which they don't seem to understand) my wealth accrued by investing instead of frittering. Yet compared to my ancestors, I had an easy life.
I had 40 employees , including 6 secretaries. I had the oldest car and cheapest house in the department. did take nice vacations, but with frequent flyer miles from all the business travel, it was not that expensive. With free airfare, It was cheaper to go to Hawaii during the summer than Nags Head or Virginia Beach.
We’re in our late 50’s, and I guess I can consider myself having two houses because I am pretty much a caretaker of my parents house too. 😂😅 I remember my hardworking husband who received a raise and I bought shredded cheese because it would help me time wise. I will never forget that first time of choosing ease over cost.
In the industry, a batch that fails quality tests to sell as blocks will be "sent to shred", and if it's not good enough for shred, it goes to pet food.
You are trading a few moments of time for the highest prices for the worst products.
100%!! I never buy it now. LOL I am totally from scratch with real ingredients. I was looking online for a recipe that used Velveta!! I wanted to comment and say Processed food cheese, Not cheese, Not food! 🤢
When the bicycle my parents bought me got stolen, they wouldn't replace it. It was the only transportation I had. I got a job and bought a 10 speed Schwinn for $110 at 14. Never looked back. Then they started borrowing money from me.
We borrowed about $30,000 to build a house in 1977 and still live in that modest house today. At one point, our bank offered to charge us no more interest if we would double our mortgage payments, but we could not afford to do it (although we did pay the mortgage off early). A really stupid thing to me is that we actually qualified for free lunches at school for our children. We didn't need that help; we had everything we needed (not everything we wanted). We husband was insistent on saving money, which really benefits us now.
Most of these youngster whiners had everything given to them on a silver platter. I believe having to work hard, save, and plan is a concept that doesn’t go with the instantaneous world they live in! I and my child served in the military to pursue our educational/vocational dreams. The USAF paid for his Medical School, and now he’s paying back his active duty commitment. Adulting can be daunting at times but that hasn’t changed for all generations.
Exactly!!! We didn't have a pot to pee in at 27. We did have a modest house with sparce furnishings and old cars, plus two beautiful babies. No fancy vacations, tattoos, or frequent trips to the drive-thru. I was hanging out cloth diapers and shopping the grocery specials and garage sales. The bitterness and disparaging comments about "boomers" from the younger generation is hard to swallow.
It's actually a pretty rare older person with several houses. This IS the New York Slimes we're talking about. They interview people making $80K to $100K and pretend those are the people that are struggling.
NO. Way too many young people can't find anything but temp jobs or jobs as door dash or uber drivers, which will probably end up paying less than $15 an hour once one figures in wear and tear on the car.
Jeff, why don't you give us an informal survey of the kids of your circle of friends?????
How many children of lawyers are doing temp jobs out of college? A LOT.
Look at the actual data. In 1985, you could get a starter home in SoCA for $78,000. 1100 sq feet. That exact same house is now $676,400. So using the old calc of house cost should be 2.5 times your salary, 1985 house needed a $31, 000 salary. Today's house needs a $270, 560 salary.
This is not a whine, it's plain facts. And that doesn't include the ridiculous property taxes. If we continue to raise salaries, then dollars become like yen, where you need a thousand to buy a candy bar. The house cost increase is fake, caused by corporations buying single family homes for inflated prices.
“There’s even a sponsor form, the I-864, which includes a contract. The contract puts the sponsor on the hook for any welfare given to the immigrant by any local, state, or Federal agency”
I had no idea this was the law of the land. We DO need to amend the law, however, to read “must” rather than “may.” I cannot begin to express my glee at the enforcement of this very important law! FAFO indeed.
I’m very happy about this, too! In the 90s after immigration reform, I know people who came here and had to sign a document saying they wouldn’t be a burden on the country when they immigrated and essentially forfeited any government help. I could never understand how that got changed but apparently it wasn’t, just not enforced 😕 So glad it’s finally being done right!!
Any alien who, within five years after the date of entry, has become a public charge from causes not affirmatively shown to have arisen since entry is deportable.
One of the biggest problems with illegal immigration is that so many people are complicit with breaking the law. Here’s a great true local story, certainly local for me, that went national.
Growing up “The Christmas Season” was always a magical time of year for me. I’ll always remember this one cold snowy December day walking home after a basketball game, I was 12 and played in the local Recreation Basketball league. It was cold and dark and snow was already on the ground, I was finally getting home from the long walk across town. I walked into my house and there was my mother decorating the Christmas Tree. She had already put the lights in the windows and the garland on the mantel. I was raised Catholic and my mother always made Christmas special for us kids. Christmas was once the best holiday.
Many threats to Christianity come from local influences. The other day I came across this story right in my home town that has gone national. A local reverend Stephan Josoma at Saint Susanna’s parish had set up the nativity scene at the church without the baby Jesus, the Virgin Mary or Joseph. He placed a sign saying ICE Was Here. The obvious presumption being that ice agents had taken all three of them and that they somehow were illegal aliens. Below it, in smaller letters, it says the holy family is welcome in our church, implying that Jesus and the holy family could seek refuge in the church. The archdiocese in Massachusetts sat on this but were finally pushed to step in and tell Josoma to take the nativity scene down, but the leftist priest insists on politicizing Christmas through the church and the sign remains. It’s incredible how the left insists on tearing down the foundations of America. Statues, our bill of rights, medical freedom to the point of dangerous experimental injections forced into people’s arms. The birth of Christ is the birth of Christianity itself, and father Josoma should not be allowed to desecrate it. A Catholic Church or any Christian Church should not be used as a place to push a priests ideology, left or right. This same priest has pulled similar shows of blasphemy in the past. It’s pretty obvious, at least around here, the Catholic Church leadership has pledged its allegiance to the democrat party. Globalism and open borders are put above God and Jesus. Trafficking Illegal immigrants into America is not only illegal but it’s big business, and the Catholic Church has made millions of needed dollars on open borders and illegal immigration. As always, its all about the money.
Now I’m no theologian but Jesus was a subject of the Roman Empire. Well Bethlehem, Nazareth and Egypt were all part of the Roman Empire, so Jesus and the Holy Family never broke immigration law. In fact nations and borders are spoken of over and over again in the scriptures. There are walls with watchmen and armies at those walls to protect cities, nations and the people that live behind those walls. Not anyone was allowed to just enter into a city or country.
People always speak of what’s in the Bible, what it says, they nitpick about what the words mean. Sometimes you need to focus on what it doesn’t say. It would be a perfect story, wouldn’t it be, if when Mary and Joseph got to Bethlehem and the first door they knocked on they were welcomed in, sure use my house, it’s yours, take it over. Imagine if then Mary gave birth to Jesus right there in the master bedroom of a strangers house, it would have been the perfect narrative for the open borders crowd, but that’s not what happened. All the doors that were knocked on were slammed shut, rooms were full. It’s human nature for a family to be secure in their home and then of coarse be generous to others, not selfish in a bad way. Anyone you let into your home you want to know and have some trust. You’re not going to open your door to just any random stranger knocking at your door. Sometimes you have to look at what’s in the Bible and sometimes what’s not in the Bible. This is why Jesus was born and placed in a manger. Did this priest not learn this in seminary? I’d love to ask him why are there 40 foot walls around the Vatican?
One more point for your reading pleasure😁. What is heaven? Heaven is a Kingdom, the Kingdom of God. You don’t just walk into the Kingdom of God, there are gates and if there are gates I’m sure they are connected to walls. Like the borders of most all countries not anyone is allowed to just walk into heaven. You must live a life of faith, you must believe in God, repent your sins, you must explain your good works, you are judged, and if you are found worthy you are allowed to enter. Heaven has strict border policies, hell has open borders.
There are other places for people that break the laws of a nation. Maybe reverend Josoma should think about his fate before he performs his acts of blasphemy here on earth. Maybe give a homily of how we shouldn’t tolerate the rampant abortion here in the state of Massachusetts or the constant assault on marriage and family, or how about speaking out against RADICAL LGBTQ plus agenda, NO? It seems many churches in Massachusetts main agenda that flows onto the pulpit is breaking the law by allowing in illegal aliens and their push for citizens to break the law, house or help house illegal invaders, struggling families forced to pay for this.
Wouldn’t it be nice if we could just enjoy Christmas again, focus on the birth of Jesus, and his life, like when we were kids, without all the politics! J.Goodrich
“Those who enter our country illegally, and those who employ them, disrespect the rule of law. And because we live in an age where terrorists are challenging our borders, we simply cannot allow people to pour into the United States undetected, undocumented, and unchecked. Americans are right to demand better border security and better enforcement of the immigration laws" —President Obama
Edited to add:
Why the judas said this:
Bloomberg: Headline: Venezuela's Violent Deaths Fall to 22-Year Low on Migration
Text: Venezuela's rate of violent deaths dropped to its lowest level in more than two decades following years of massive migration as both criminals and victims fled the nation's economic crisis.
Yeah that part about the nativity being used for an anti ICE message really galls me 🙄😡 As you pointed out it’s not in any way an accurate analogy. Particularly when the “immigrants” are violent criminals and even at the minimum, people who don’t respect the laws currently in place. Those clergy are real tools. You have to wonder what they’re getting out of the illegal aliens being here. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were benefiting somehow…
There have been so many stories in my area lately about crimes including vehicular manslaughter and related crimes, burglary, assault, murder and rape, committed by illegal aliens. It’s really infuriating that we even have to deal with this scourge and that American citizens who are paying for these people to be here are harmed by them 😡🤬
We must realize the “Church” has fallen, or at least is compromised. We struggle to find a local Church to attend. I watched all the local policies during C. Most failed.
After the Methodist split/debacle…we left our church of 22+ years for a true Bible church. Holy cow - what an amazing difference!! Thank God we found it! We have learned more in 1.5 yrs than the entire time in our old church. ✝️💜
Indeed! Our "shepherds" have failed us and have been intellectually captured. A new generation of pastors is needed to rise up and bring revival to the Church.
"Wouldn’t it be nice if we could just enjoy Christmas again, focus on the birth of Jesus, and his life, like when we were kids..."
James, thank you for putting your finger on this. Between the politics you pointed out and the commercialization of Christmas, Christ is no where to be found in this American holy-day anymore. No reverence, no sense of worship nor even any concept of Holiness. I miss the Christmas of years past in my youth. Our culture has changed - and not for the better. I fear the effects of the unfettered immigration of 105 million non-Americans will make "America" unrecognizable to me in 20 years. It's almost there now!
Last night my community showed up for a December birthday & Christmas concert. It opened with the secular songs; break for cake; then finished with the very spiritual, devotional songs celebrating the life of humankind’s Savior.
I was very surprised how many stayed for that part, and sang or hummed along.
Taking that as a sign of the Lord changing hearts, much as he did upon anointing Saul as Israel’s first king.
Well said. I hope you wrote to this priest and his superior with your thoughts. Do people even do that in the Catholic Church? Public comments are always so important, especially in the church.
Jeff, Today in my substack I took on a slightly different topic, namely all these congressional resignations. What's going on? The Hoax News media, as always, is missing it, as are many of the establishment RINOs. Bottom line: Trump is moving so fast, across so many venues, Congress is irrelevant, and to even become a tiny bit relevant, they'd have to work much harder. I think Mace, MTG, and others did not expect to have to work hard at all. Notice: NO Junkets or "fact finding" trips to Monaco. Gee, why? Cuz Trump's programs are DONE before these idiots can even have a hearing. I even think this affected Bongino, who admitted it was hurting his family to be in DC so much. They can't keep up with Trump, and they are frustrated.
Possibly taking a position in the administration?? I am expecting a January shuffle. Especially after Susie Wiles incomprehensibly sat down with a Vanity Fair writer over the course of nearly a year.
If she left under duress, she might do some real damage, though so 🤷♀️
I think she was threatened. Polls prob showed she could beat moron Houchil. My spider senses found the wording curious “most important thing is my son’s SAFETY and well being” Who throws in the word safety like that?!?!? She was told drop out or else!
Since 2016, over half of Congress has either resigned, announced not running again or died. If you follow the "conspiracy" Q, not all will be arrested, but all will comply. In addition, the Brunson case, sitting with the Supreme Court, accuses every sitting member in 2020 violated the constitution by not sending the election results back to the states for 10 days. What is better: Announcing to the country that most of Congressmembers have to step down and we are left with a skeleton crew or slowly have them leave one by one and keep the country at peace?
I hear that a lot. Bondi has won every single case for Trump. That's job 1. Her Civil Rights division has driven DEI out of the institutions. Job 2. DOJ has crushed the pedo rings, job 3. They are removing narcos right and left. Job 4. If they don't do job 5 of getting these traitorous slots, we'll, I'll take the big wins.
Just once - once - I’d like to see someone arrested and dragged away in handcuffs. These case wins are wonderful but the criminals - Brennan, Clapper , Comey et al still roam free. It is really frustrating. And I feel like she knows “if I keep winning these cases, no one will notice that the traitors walk free”
Yay! I’m ready to help and volunteer my time to identify and send out demand letters to all those compassionate sponsors of illegal immigrants. Can we start with my old hometown of Portland, OR? I want to make a difference and start exercising my civic duty!!
If you want to thin your blood, I recommend enzymes - such as nattokinase, serropeptase, lumbrokinase. Papain & bromelaine.
Etc.
Taken on an empty stomach with plenty of water. Start high & taper down to a maintenance dose.
This will unclump blood, break up scar tissue, reduce inflammation, and cleanse the biofilms from the intestinal lining (fixing constipation). Take with magnesium, is my suggestion.
Dr Reiter made a presentation to an audience of professionals in Japan in last couple of years on the effectiveness of melatonin as an antioxidant as well as a replacement for aspirin in event of a heart attack.
I am not conversant in the particulars. The talk is easily found on YT.
Problem with those alternatives is the ability to measure effectiveness. Do you have any information on how to do that for comparative, quantitative measurement?
Same tests one would use for non-alternatives, I imagine.
Personally, decongesting my spleen, etc - and clearing my intestines of sludge - speaks for itself. For my parents, the cessation of TIAs and pulmonary clots has been life-extending.
Much of what you mentioned is in Dr. Tau Braun's protocol which is posted on X. He is a bioweapons expert and discovered 3 ways the spike wrecks havoc on the body. I would add Augmented NAC vs NAC as it breaks down more of the spike protein.
It's imperative that microclots are broken down as it is believed to lead to the white, fibrous clots. Berberine to repair the cuts in the endothelial lining which lead to the body clotting.
See the substak Clotastrophe for more information on the white fibrous clots which cannot be broken down and must physically be removed....if the patient survives them.
Well I don’t plan on using Trumps new prescription site. I’m 75 and don’t take prescription drugs. I take a lot of supplements however. My wife’s attitude is that “if insurance will pay for it, you don’t want it”!
I still have my well-worn copy of My Imitation of Christ by Thomas à Kempis which was given to me at 14 years old when I entered the seminary to study for the priesthood.
I've bookmarked it just now for later reading. I'm out the door for an afternoon of therapy. Chronic pain has made me chronically unable to keep up with everything.

Another quote (author unknown) comes to mind:
"The mice don't understand why the cheese is free."
A cheaper blood thinner medication will allow more people to take it. The side effects can be severe... and profitable. From sad experience -- bleeding in the eyeball, causing blindness; bleeding in the brain, causing complete short-term memory loss; fluid build-up in the lungs, which can appear to be caused by congestive heart failure, leading to a hospice classification. After a hospice classification, the medical establish can pretty much have their way with you, and no one will hear you scream.
Regarding affordability as the Democrats buzzword: what else could they have chosen? Seriously, is there any other topic that wouldn’t make them look like fools or worse? Immigration, crime, trans ideology, foreign aid, government regulation, healthcare: they’re on the wrong side of the majority every time.
What I love is how so many bad things keep boomeranging back to the dems.
They are all screaming about the Venezuelan boat thing, and low and behold Chuck Schumer push through a law that made what Trump is doing to those boats legal. Then we find out the immigration scam with sponsors was, wait for it, a law made by democrats. Then we read the quote in the comment above from Obama about how bad illegal immigration is.
The Democrats would be nothing if it weren't for all of their hypocrisy. Democrats really that stupid or are they just amnesiacs? They don't seem to remember anything that happened before last week. Well I guess that's probably the percentage of mentally ill people in the country, and they all happen to be democrats. Or dead. Lol
They are flailing because they are trapped, by their own actions and by Trump. Blatant lies and the hope that voters don’t remember things like Biden inflation and Obama “solving healthcare” are all they have left.
I certainly hope something happens to health insurance prices. My husbands and my premiums went from $1000/ m to $3200/m. That’s a $10,000 deductible. We had to go to a bronze plan for $2400/m. We are in our 60’s and would be wiped out if we had a big medical bill. I guess I will keep driving my 14 year old suv.
It's easy, Tiny. Just never get sick. And don't buy health insurance. Use your money for food and travel. Er, I gotta go. They're coming to put that damn straitjacket back on me.
I would be curious to have more context to this. Is this coverage that you purchased on the federal insurance marketplace or a broker/agent, are you both self employed or does your employer not offer health insurance, is $2400/mo. for both of you combined or individually, is the $10K the out of pocket limit or truly a deductible and is that also combined for both? That would be interesting to know.
I have commented here before that my husband, Dr. David Wilkinson, MD was refused the Ivermectin script he wrote for himself by the very hospital he served. I reached out to multiple attorneys to take our case. My husband survived and is back to practice by miracles of miracles which including a double lung transplant. I published a memoir with the details: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BXTCFRT4/
I want to pass a law that if what the physician has prescribed will do no harm then they cannot be refused what they wrote for themselves. In this case, would Ivermectin he prescribed have kept him off of the ventilator, made a DNR eventually resulting in a DLT.
Evil is real and demonic influence is commonplace. The system failed because of actual people. What individuals were responsible for the attacks against your husband? These cowardly criminals who hide their evil intent and ideology behind policy and excuses have names.
Pdiddy, if we are to believe him, claimed that Michael Jackson never was a pedophile. Only that he was a child who never grew up, and was only comfortable around other children. Also there were kids who stayed at Jackson's home who testified in court that Michael never touched them. I believe that Jackson was someone who was lied about so extensively as leverage against him. There were many in his circle who wanted his money and his influence. I just never got that he was that creepy pedophile they tried to say he was. I could be wrong but there never has been proof. Often real pedophiles will point to someone like Michael Jackson so they can feel better about themselves. I don't know.
My research points to him not being one, and being falsely accused destroyed him.

Michael's primary accusers were proven to be lying, while many children came to his defense.
He was a very savvy businessman and made a lot of powerful enemies because of it.
I also think that he had to have seen the sexual abuse that is rampant in the entertainment industry and felt like he was one of very few with the power to expose it. When they couldn't take him out with their smear campaign, they took him out for good.
Young people are not getting married and they find single life is very expensive.
Marriage brings challenges but it also brings opportunities. One salary saved one salary for expenses. Common focus of family and commitments brings success and happiness.
Bret Weinstein represents the glaring difference between authentic scientists and glorified experts. Peer reviewed data doesn't amount to a hill of beans when the peers doing the peering are unprincipled charlatans. Over $20 billion dollars in fines (admittedly couch change) levied against pharmaceutical companies since the early 2000's for fraud, corruption, false claims and....wait for it....hiding safety data. Boggles the mind how the socially conditioned lemmings just keep lining up for more safe and effective "treatments."

Aspirin goes for 9 cents. Condemned miracle drug for a century to push alternative blood thinner bioweapon.
"Bristol Myers Squib also agreed to donate 6.5 tons of Eliquis to the national security stockpile"??
I would be very wary about taking a blood thinner they wanted to give everyone free. What other ingredients, for instance.
I was prescribed Eliquis at one time. My holistic doctor suggested nattokinase instead. Used it instead and it is all natural. Does the same thing as the chemical prescription med.
That is great!
Dang, wow, I didn’t even think of that. Hmmm. You don’t think it’s Trump holding them over a barrel? You think they’d really do more dirty tricks? And then as I write that, I answer my own question.. Yes, yes they might.
I think it’s always good to be wary and careful.
The approval process for Eliquis is shockingly corrupt, both Pfizer and the FDA were involved... bogus testing, outright lies, deadly side effects quashed... and this poison still was approved.
Remdesivir, which Pfizer manufactures and supplies for Gilead, is another despicable, corrupt approval story... still being used...
Abiding- I would be interested in any links can share about the Eliquis trials. Early summer this year, my 83 year old father was prescribed Eliquis. After two weeks he became so short of breath he could hardly walk 10 feet. He went to his PCP who immediately sent him by squad to the ER as his BP was dangerously low. He was diagnosed with cardiac tamponade and rushed into the procedure room where they removed 200ml of blood from his pericardium. He was lucky to be alive and after a three week hospital stay he made a full recovery. Two cardiologists argued about whether it was caused by the Eliquis. I would love to know what the trials showed.
My brother died of a brain-bleed at 64, Eliquis and later warfarin.
From AI:
The approval process for Eliquis (apixaban) was significantly delayed due to misconduct and errors identified in a clinical trial site in China. The U.S. FDA halted approval for nine months in 2012 after discovering that patients received the wrong medicines, records were secretly altered, and serious adverse events were unreported during the ARISTOTLE trial. The FDA also reported that some patient records had disappeared prior to inspections, and three Bristol-Myers Squibb employees, including a senior manager, were fired following the alleged cover-up. Although the FDA later concluded that the errors were not "exceptionable" and did not substantially affect the final positive results, many experts remain skeptical about what may have been overlooked. The FDA's medical team leader, Thomas Marciniak, noted that the statistical results for lower overall deaths from Eliquis might not be valid due to missing or erroneous data, and the company was not permitted to promote the drug based on those outcomes. These issues have been central to lawsuits alleging that Bristol-Myers Squibb and Pfizer misrepresented the drug’s safety and efficacy, concealed the lack of a reversal agent for bleeding, and failed to adequately warn healthcare providers of the risks.

Yah, very conflicted to be happy about cheap drugs. I think this has been played over and over. I am honestly very thankful, though it's a life of anxiety, to have to self treat until it's near ER time to take a med because we can't afford to take it as prescribed and then you find out that taking "as prescribed", and the bitchin you get when you need a refill, was deadly anyway. 😵😭😡😡😡😡😡....
Well some of them are insulin. So that’s a little different. Also if people are going to take medicines at least they won’t be putting themselves into debt trying to pay for them and Pharma companies won’t make as much money on them either.
Cheaper diabetes proven meds are a good thing. Yes, lifestyle and diet can be better, but unless people are motivated to do so, they should get the pharmaceuticals that work without added stress. If the docs Rx responsibly.
Yup, Eliquis is another horrible abuse of the public for profit.
Once on it, immediately stopping Eliquis is extremely dangerous, so you MUST pay them to continue or risk death.
"The ARISTOTLE trial found that premature discontinuation of Eliquis was associated with a significant number of strokes, highlighting the immediate and severe risks involved."
😳
Yeah. That isn’t suspect at all.
Crazy isn’t it? Why can’t Americans stay thin? Why are so many obese and instead of just eating less they would rather take a fat shot that can paralyse their intestines, requiring surgery to correct the problem. Does anyone know? You can charge a penny for pharma drugs, but wouldn’t you rather stay healthy, so you don’t have to take pharmaceuticals?
Just a thought: I was wondering why Eliquis? Why not other drug? We know that jabs or covid itself caused microclotting. And microclotting causes organ dysfunction. Big Harma knows it and they know Trump knows about it. Eliquis makes it less likely for clots to form and from my observation many jabbed people benefit from it. But Eliquis 30 day supply cost can be up to 500$ and more without insurance coverage. Harmaceutical companies even have so called patient assistance programs to ease medication costs.
So they caused the problem but they also had a drug for it and they expected big profit. Trump just took it away.
Every one would be healthier and live years,longer if they ate healthy and much less, exercised and took far fewer drugs of any kind.
Many were gullible/ stupid enough to get covid vaxed so can expect to have damaged health and a funeral years earlier than should have been the case.
Thank you, it is so amazing to read peoples opinions that demonstrate not everyone is sleeping

Ban all "peer review" of scientific articles, because it is the primary cause of stagnation in research. Those "peers" all profit from current orthodoxy and want to suppress threats to their revenue streams. Instead, invite the entire public to review and comment on research.

Thanks, I got it from somewhere else. Maybe it was Brett Weinstein.
Re: "the glaring difference between scientists and glorified experts"
There is so much corruption in both categories.
Weinstein does what a scientist is supposed to be doing...the complete opposite of a criminally narcissistic bribed, coerced and corrupted expert (See Offitt, Fauci, Hotez, et al). Granted, an extremely rare bird these days.
Controlled opposition like Kory
Any proof of that?
Kory is a fan of CDS, like I am... seems to be a good guy...
…and Alex Jones, Snoopy and David Lee Roth.
I think Kory is fabulous.

“Fear not”
We recently watched Linus recite those verses in perhaps the most well-known scene from an ancient animated TV cartoon special the world has ever known, and it brought a tear to my eye. Despite the fact that this 2-minute monologue has been part of my life for decades now. Timeless truths and expressions of overwhelming love seem to do that more often as I get older. “For God so loved the world…”
We love the Charlie Brown Christmas special! will be watching our dvd of it probably Christmas Eve.
Wise to have a hard copy, of everything, Margot. A I and the digital world will manipulate or eliminate everything that goes against the narrative of those building the new system.
And that, Charlie Brown, is the problem with eliminating books.
🙏❤️
Makes me excited for our Christmas Eve church service!!! I love the sights and sounds of Christmas Eve.
I'm down with being second, right behind the Word!
My favorite verses of the Christmas story.

I would love to see a times interview of several of the "older generation" with several houses and fat retirement plans clearly lay out what condition they were in when they were 27 years old. Success develops with a thought out plan, perseverance and delayed consumption. Its rare that you inherit it!
Yeah I didn’t have squat when I was 27. I was in my 40’s before I was able to buy a house and mine is quite modest. But while my parents helped me get a PhD they never gave me everything. I also started working on my dad’s farm at 12. First paying job was at 15 and made minimum wage for ag work. $1.00/hr. So cry me a River.
When I was about sixteen my dad agreed to buy me a nice pair of riding boots that cost the princely sum of $110, if I worked with him that summer on his portable sawmill. I did, and it wasn't at all fun, but I did like those boots!
But you will remember this until the day you die.
You bet! One of the first things I remember my dad telling me, probably around age four or five, as he handed me a chunk of firewood half my size to put on the stack was "he who works, eats". Never raised his voice, was always gentle, and always got the point across.
You had a good dad. So did I. And my mom too. Even though I was adopted I was the luckiest kid who ever loved.
Thank you for saying! ❤️
Yep me too exactly.
OK, now tell me how many multiples of the median income THAT house cost when you bought it , and how many multiples it is now.
For a house bought 30 years ago that was 3X a years income, it might be 6X now.
In expensive areas where it might have been 4X, it's 10X now.
What some are describing as a generalized discontent among young people misses the nuance of who might have a legitimate gripe. Young white men have had their employment prospects savaged by DEI, which is overt race and sex discrimination. It’s not subtle. It’s also clearly a 14th amendment violation and illegal by any standard, and yet it has been widespread policy in both the private sector and government. And when they verbalize their experience they are again savaged by the beneficiaries of this discrimination as whiny and privileged. This article is one of several that have gone viral lately: https://www.compactmag.com/article/the-lost-generation/
Older white people, also, face discrimination.
I know because I was one of them. And now I’m watching my son face the same obstacle. It has to stop.
So many barriers to starting one’s own business, as well.
Microsoft started to clear out everyone over 50. Then they realized, those were the people with the most knowledge in the industry and halted it.
So sickening!

Wow, Karen!
Deregulate small businesses. Make self employment normal again.
Especially the green regulations here in Oregon,

Oooo the gnashing of teeth from the DEI crowd will be deafening!
How many were discriminated against in hiring practices and will never know?
I knew, or learned very quickly post discharge from the USAF in 1977, RJ.
While practicing for an interview, my mentor said you are doing great and are well qualified (blue collar civil service position) but don't expect to be hired.
I was a victim of DEI before discrimination was shortened to an acronym.
Yeah but the author of that article isn't willing to call out DEI. It's a permission story.
Yep! This younger generation has been handed the keys to vast opportunities and they whine! The popular culture has taught them well! They "deserve" all the things that previous generations had to work very hard and sacrifice for! I do not have much sympathy for the over-indulged. Most older Americans have worked for many many years to be in a position to afford a few luxuries later in life! Man up youngins!!!
The younger folks can’t live without their $7 Starbucks drinks and manicures and pedicures, etc. They complain about not having money to buy a house, but they are great at wasting money.
Don’t forget tattoos, expensive clothing and jewelry.
Cars, vacations, booze and more. They could never survive a recession, the likes of which our parents lived through and learned how to sacrifice. The greatest generation passed their values down to my generation.
Do custom coffee shops accept SNAP?
Just curious...
Yep. We bought our first house at age 37. We camped a lot when the kids were little.
We bought our first house when I was 25. Married at 21. We both had very every level salaried positions, but we lived on my husband's salary and saved 100% of mine. This served the purpose of saving a substantial amount over those few years for a down payment on a starter home and making it possible for me to quit work and be a stay at home mom when our children were born. We are used to living on one salary, so we didn't have to change our budget at all for me to stay home.
Same here, if I worked my pay was saved or used for vacations and/or cable tv. We sacrificed so I could be a stay at home mom.
Outstanding, Kat & AM Schimberg. You are the backbone and future of this great country. Thank you.
That's great!
SO and I were in our 40s when we bought our first home over 2 decades ago. We didn't complain about being that much older. And in today's dollars, we earned a lot less than the younger whiners now. To get there, we didn't go on vacations, ate meals at home, made our own coffee, and rented in lower-class neighborhoods. To me, too many people are comparing themselves to others. Envy, jealousy...
Same. Drove an old car. Brown-bagged lunch my entire career. Ate dinner at home. Didn't take vacations. Now I have it 'made' because over time (which they don't seem to understand) my wealth accrued by investing instead of frittering. Yet compared to my ancestors, I had an easy life.
Yep, I brown-bagged too, and made my SO's lunches as well.
We still drive old cars. Our oldest pre-dates 2010.
I still drive a 2003 Explorer. Just put in a new engine because it was cheaper than buying a new or used car.
I had 40 employees , including 6 secretaries. I had the oldest car and cheapest house in the department. did take nice vacations, but with frequent flyer miles from all the business travel, it was not that expensive. With free airfare, It was cheaper to go to Hawaii during the summer than Nags Head or Virginia Beach.
We’re in our late 50’s, and I guess I can consider myself having two houses because I am pretty much a caretaker of my parents house too. 😂😅 I remember my hardworking husband who received a raise and I bought shredded cheese because it would help me time wise. I will never forget that first time of choosing ease over cost.
I remember when we got our first washer and dryer, in our 30s. What luxury! We didn't have to schlep to the laundromat every weekend.
FYI: shredded cheese is always inferior cheese.
In the industry, a batch that fails quality tests to sell as blocks will be "sent to shred", and if it's not good enough for shred, it goes to pet food.
You are trading a few moments of time for the highest prices for the worst products.
100%!! I never buy it now. LOL I am totally from scratch with real ingredients. I was looking online for a recipe that used Velveta!! I wanted to comment and say Processed food cheese, Not cheese, Not food! 🤢
Yeah, too bad melted Velveeta tastes so good 😕
Nothing lake a wet blanket just before Christmas, Dolce.
I guess we should all make our own cheese. 🙃
Just helping consumers be informed.
If you are willing to trade quality for convenience, have at it! The processed food industry loves you, and many Americans will agree with you.
Or do you prefer to stay ignorant? That's also an option.
When the bicycle my parents bought me got stolen, they wouldn't replace it. It was the only transportation I had. I got a job and bought a 10 speed Schwinn for $110 at 14. Never looked back. Then they started borrowing money from me.
We borrowed about $30,000 to build a house in 1977 and still live in that modest house today. At one point, our bank offered to charge us no more interest if we would double our mortgage payments, but we could not afford to do it (although we did pay the mortgage off early). A really stupid thing to me is that we actually qualified for free lunches at school for our children. We didn't need that help; we had everything we needed (not everything we wanted). We husband was insistent on saving money, which really benefits us now.
How much would that house cost a young couple now?
Most of these youngster whiners had everything given to them on a silver platter. I believe having to work hard, save, and plan is a concept that doesn’t go with the instantaneous world they live in! I and my child served in the military to pursue our educational/vocational dreams. The USAF paid for his Medical School, and now he’s paying back his active duty commitment. Adulting can be daunting at times but that hasn’t changed for all generations.
Exactly!!! We didn't have a pot to pee in at 27. We did have a modest house with sparce furnishings and old cars, plus two beautiful babies. No fancy vacations, tattoos, or frequent trips to the drive-thru. I was hanging out cloth diapers and shopping the grocery specials and garage sales. The bitterness and disparaging comments about "boomers" from the younger generation is hard to swallow.
$12/hr and no real wealth until my 50s
Mike, I'll volunteer!
It's actually a pretty rare older person with several houses. This IS the New York Slimes we're talking about. They interview people making $80K to $100K and pretend those are the people that are struggling.
NO. Way too many young people can't find anything but temp jobs or jobs as door dash or uber drivers, which will probably end up paying less than $15 an hour once one figures in wear and tear on the car.
Jeff, why don't you give us an informal survey of the kids of your circle of friends?????
How many children of lawyers are doing temp jobs out of college? A LOT.
Look at the actual data. In 1985, you could get a starter home in SoCA for $78,000. 1100 sq feet. That exact same house is now $676,400. So using the old calc of house cost should be 2.5 times your salary, 1985 house needed a $31, 000 salary. Today's house needs a $270, 560 salary.
This is not a whine, it's plain facts. And that doesn't include the ridiculous property taxes. If we continue to raise salaries, then dollars become like yen, where you need a thousand to buy a candy bar. The house cost increase is fake, caused by corporations buying single family homes for inflated prices.
This alone is a valid complaint.
Btw, I owned that home when I was 25.
“There’s even a sponsor form, the I-864, which includes a contract. The contract puts the sponsor on the hook for any welfare given to the immigrant by any local, state, or Federal agency”
I had no idea this was the law of the land. We DO need to amend the law, however, to read “must” rather than “may.” I cannot begin to express my glee at the enforcement of this very important law! FAFO indeed.
They really won’t ever learn, will they?
I’m very happy about this, too! In the 90s after immigration reform, I know people who came here and had to sign a document saying they wouldn’t be a burden on the country when they immigrated and essentially forfeited any government help. I could never understand how that got changed but apparently it wasn’t, just not enforced 😕 So glad it’s finally being done right!!
8 USC 1227
(a) Classes of deportable aliens
(5) Public charge
Any alien who, within five years after the date of entry, has become a public charge from causes not affirmatively shown to have arisen since entry is deportable.
I think it should be one year…
One of the biggest problems with illegal immigration is that so many people are complicit with breaking the law. Here’s a great true local story, certainly local for me, that went national.
Growing up “The Christmas Season” was always a magical time of year for me. I’ll always remember this one cold snowy December day walking home after a basketball game, I was 12 and played in the local Recreation Basketball league. It was cold and dark and snow was already on the ground, I was finally getting home from the long walk across town. I walked into my house and there was my mother decorating the Christmas Tree. She had already put the lights in the windows and the garland on the mantel. I was raised Catholic and my mother always made Christmas special for us kids. Christmas was once the best holiday.
Many threats to Christianity come from local influences. The other day I came across this story right in my home town that has gone national. A local reverend Stephan Josoma at Saint Susanna’s parish had set up the nativity scene at the church without the baby Jesus, the Virgin Mary or Joseph. He placed a sign saying ICE Was Here. The obvious presumption being that ice agents had taken all three of them and that they somehow were illegal aliens. Below it, in smaller letters, it says the holy family is welcome in our church, implying that Jesus and the holy family could seek refuge in the church. The archdiocese in Massachusetts sat on this but were finally pushed to step in and tell Josoma to take the nativity scene down, but the leftist priest insists on politicizing Christmas through the church and the sign remains. It’s incredible how the left insists on tearing down the foundations of America. Statues, our bill of rights, medical freedom to the point of dangerous experimental injections forced into people’s arms. The birth of Christ is the birth of Christianity itself, and father Josoma should not be allowed to desecrate it. A Catholic Church or any Christian Church should not be used as a place to push a priests ideology, left or right. This same priest has pulled similar shows of blasphemy in the past. It’s pretty obvious, at least around here, the Catholic Church leadership has pledged its allegiance to the democrat party. Globalism and open borders are put above God and Jesus. Trafficking Illegal immigrants into America is not only illegal but it’s big business, and the Catholic Church has made millions of needed dollars on open borders and illegal immigration. As always, its all about the money.
Now I’m no theologian but Jesus was a subject of the Roman Empire. Well Bethlehem, Nazareth and Egypt were all part of the Roman Empire, so Jesus and the Holy Family never broke immigration law. In fact nations and borders are spoken of over and over again in the scriptures. There are walls with watchmen and armies at those walls to protect cities, nations and the people that live behind those walls. Not anyone was allowed to just enter into a city or country.
People always speak of what’s in the Bible, what it says, they nitpick about what the words mean. Sometimes you need to focus on what it doesn’t say. It would be a perfect story, wouldn’t it be, if when Mary and Joseph got to Bethlehem and the first door they knocked on they were welcomed in, sure use my house, it’s yours, take it over. Imagine if then Mary gave birth to Jesus right there in the master bedroom of a strangers house, it would have been the perfect narrative for the open borders crowd, but that’s not what happened. All the doors that were knocked on were slammed shut, rooms were full. It’s human nature for a family to be secure in their home and then of coarse be generous to others, not selfish in a bad way. Anyone you let into your home you want to know and have some trust. You’re not going to open your door to just any random stranger knocking at your door. Sometimes you have to look at what’s in the Bible and sometimes what’s not in the Bible. This is why Jesus was born and placed in a manger. Did this priest not learn this in seminary? I’d love to ask him why are there 40 foot walls around the Vatican?
One more point for your reading pleasure😁. What is heaven? Heaven is a Kingdom, the Kingdom of God. You don’t just walk into the Kingdom of God, there are gates and if there are gates I’m sure they are connected to walls. Like the borders of most all countries not anyone is allowed to just walk into heaven. You must live a life of faith, you must believe in God, repent your sins, you must explain your good works, you are judged, and if you are found worthy you are allowed to enter. Heaven has strict border policies, hell has open borders.
There are other places for people that break the laws of a nation. Maybe reverend Josoma should think about his fate before he performs his acts of blasphemy here on earth. Maybe give a homily of how we shouldn’t tolerate the rampant abortion here in the state of Massachusetts or the constant assault on marriage and family, or how about speaking out against RADICAL LGBTQ plus agenda, NO? It seems many churches in Massachusetts main agenda that flows onto the pulpit is breaking the law by allowing in illegal aliens and their push for citizens to break the law, house or help house illegal invaders, struggling families forced to pay for this.
Wouldn’t it be nice if we could just enjoy Christmas again, focus on the birth of Jesus, and his life, like when we were kids, without all the politics! J.Goodrich
“Those who enter our country illegally, and those who employ them, disrespect the rule of law. And because we live in an age where terrorists are challenging our borders, we simply cannot allow people to pour into the United States undetected, undocumented, and unchecked. Americans are right to demand better border security and better enforcement of the immigration laws" —President Obama

Yeah that part about the nativity being used for an anti ICE message really galls me 🙄😡 As you pointed out it’s not in any way an accurate analogy. Particularly when the “immigrants” are violent criminals and even at the minimum, people who don’t respect the laws currently in place. Those clergy are real tools. You have to wonder what they’re getting out of the illegal aliens being here. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were benefiting somehow…
There have been so many stories in my area lately about crimes including vehicular manslaughter and related crimes, burglary, assault, murder and rape, committed by illegal aliens. It’s really infuriating that we even have to deal with this scourge and that American citizens who are paying for these people to be here are harmed by them 😡🤬
We must realize the “Church” has fallen, or at least is compromised. We struggle to find a local Church to attend. I watched all the local policies during C. Most failed.
After the Methodist split/debacle…we left our church of 22+ years for a true Bible church. Holy cow - what an amazing difference!! Thank God we found it! We have learned more in 1.5 yrs than the entire time in our old church. ✝️💜
Indeed! Our "shepherds" have failed us and have been intellectually captured. A new generation of pastors is needed to rise up and bring revival to the Church.

And right there was the test! And our churches failed the test.
No repentance, no gospel, no power.
Did you hear the Vatican is opening a Muslim prayer Room? How inclusive.
Fat chance ever finding the equivalent in an Islamic country. This bending over backwards for them has got to stop 😕
Agreed. But that will take banning psychotics from running for office.
The "church" needs to openly remove all associations with Zionist Judaism...
Trump should do the same, it is cratering his support.
"Wouldn’t it be nice if we could just enjoy Christmas again, focus on the birth of Jesus, and his life, like when we were kids..."
James, thank you for putting your finger on this. Between the politics you pointed out and the commercialization of Christmas, Christ is no where to be found in this American holy-day anymore. No reverence, no sense of worship nor even any concept of Holiness. I miss the Christmas of years past in my youth. Our culture has changed - and not for the better. I fear the effects of the unfettered immigration of 105 million non-Americans will make "America" unrecognizable to me in 20 years. It's almost there now!
Last night my community showed up for a December birthday & Christmas concert. It opened with the secular songs; break for cake; then finished with the very spiritual, devotional songs celebrating the life of humankind’s Savior.
I was very surprised how many stayed for that part, and sang or hummed along.
Taking that as a sign of the Lord changing hearts, much as he did upon anointing Saul as Israel’s first king.
Well said. I hope you wrote to this priest and his superior with your thoughts. Do people even do that in the Catholic Church? Public comments are always so important, especially in the church.
Wow 🤯 so well said!
Joseph was going back to his home town. They weren't immigrants. They were likely staying with family, not in a stranger's barn.
In Middle Eastern cultures where everyone knows everyone, it is simply unthinkable that Joseph and Mary would have known no one in Bethlehem.
Additionally, animals were often kept in a part of the house off to the side, thus, they let Mary put the new baby in the feeding trough for his bed.
Author Kenneth Bailey and Paul Meier (spelling?) speak to this.
Jeff, Today in my substack I took on a slightly different topic, namely all these congressional resignations. What's going on? The Hoax News media, as always, is missing it, as are many of the establishment RINOs. Bottom line: Trump is moving so fast, across so many venues, Congress is irrelevant, and to even become a tiny bit relevant, they'd have to work much harder. I think Mace, MTG, and others did not expect to have to work hard at all. Notice: NO Junkets or "fact finding" trips to Monaco. Gee, why? Cuz Trump's programs are DONE before these idiots can even have a hearing. I even think this affected Bongino, who admitted it was hurting his family to be in DC so much. They can't keep up with Trump, and they are frustrated.
Disappointed that Stefanik is leaving politics. Liked her.
Her resignation sounded a lot more to me like "someone is threatening my kids and I can't protect them."
Me too.
Curious on the real story maybe will will find out right after we find out why Gaetz is gone.
Liked them both.
And Bongino...
I hope she simply told the truth and decided that her child(ren) deserve to have a mother. I wish more women did the same.
Maybe she realized that being governor wouldn't make her happy and in fact she didn't want to do any of it including representative.
Would you want to govern a state with a communist muslim running your largest city? It's time to roll up the sidewalks and build a fence around NYC.
P.S. Jewish residents best consider Aliyah.
Yep. But I think a lot of them are seeing that the institution of Congress no longer will permit them to be stars.
Possibly taking a position in the administration?? I am expecting a January shuffle. Especially after Susie Wiles incomprehensibly sat down with a Vanity Fair writer over the course of nearly a year.
If she left under duress, she might do some real damage, though so 🤷♀️
I think she was threatened. Polls prob showed she could beat moron Houchil. My spider senses found the wording curious “most important thing is my son’s SAFETY and well being” Who throws in the word safety like that?!?!? She was told drop out or else!
Adam Schiff is a big fan of hers... which I find to be alarming.

Congress has been useless for decades, well before Trump.
The failures of Congress necessitated a Trump.
Bingo.
Bongino saw where the bodies were buried.
Since 2016, over half of Congress has either resigned, announced not running again or died. If you follow the "conspiracy" Q, not all will be arrested, but all will comply. In addition, the Brunson case, sitting with the Supreme Court, accuses every sitting member in 2020 violated the constitution by not sending the election results back to the states for 10 days. What is better: Announcing to the country that most of Congressmembers have to step down and we are left with a skeleton crew or slowly have them leave one by one and keep the country at peace?
I’m wondering if Bongino was frustrated by slow moving DOJ. All in all, I think Atty Gen is the weakest link
I hear that a lot. Bondi has won every single case for Trump. That's job 1. Her Civil Rights division has driven DEI out of the institutions. Job 2. DOJ has crushed the pedo rings, job 3. They are removing narcos right and left. Job 4. If they don't do job 5 of getting these traitorous slots, we'll, I'll take the big wins.
Just once - once - I’d like to see someone arrested and dragged away in handcuffs. These case wins are wonderful but the criminals - Brennan, Clapper , Comey et al still roam free. It is really frustrating. And I feel like she knows “if I keep winning these cases, no one will notice that the traitors walk free”
Perhaps they are disgusted by many of Trump's policies... especially his support and funding of Israel's mass murder and land thefts.
Nope. Not close.
Ignore abiding dude…he’s 100% jerk 100% of the time.
Are you that stupid?
Or are you a jew.
Yay! I’m ready to help and volunteer my time to identify and send out demand letters to all those compassionate sponsors of illegal immigrants. Can we start with my old hometown of Portland, OR? I want to make a difference and start exercising my civic duty!!
I’m from there too. It’s my home. I’ll help !!
love it
If you want to thin your blood, I recommend enzymes - such as nattokinase, serropeptase, lumbrokinase. Papain & bromelaine.
Etc.
Taken on an empty stomach with plenty of water. Start high & taper down to a maintenance dose.
This will unclump blood, break up scar tissue, reduce inflammation, and cleanse the biofilms from the intestinal lining (fixing constipation). Take with magnesium, is my suggestion.
Fresh raw foods have similar action.
I was thinking the same thing as I watched the woman talk about "giving away" the meds!
It's astonishing how few people know that nattokinase thins out blood.....with zero side effects and plenty of benefits.
Serropeptase reportedly breaks up microplastics!
I’m guessing these gum up everything from capillaries to small intestine microvilli.
Which is why I suggested taking it with magnesium, to help remove the gunk.
Pineapple & papaya help, also.
Yes! Fulvic and Humic acid also help remove the toxins
The miracle blood thinner is whole aspirin
Aspirin (or willow bark extract) has anti-cancer effects.
Dr Reiter made a presentation to an audience of professionals in Japan in last couple of years on the effectiveness of melatonin as an antioxidant as well as a replacement for aspirin in event of a heart attack.
I am not conversant in the particulars. The talk is easily found on YT.
But it also causes brain, stomach, and gut bleeds. Take pycnogenol instead.
Or garlic…
Many benefits to garlic - parasites hate it!
A book from the early 2000s, The Complete Cancer Cleanse, states some cancer is parasites and recommends drinking garlic water.
Vampires too! 😬😛
Problem with those alternatives is the ability to measure effectiveness. Do you have any information on how to do that for comparative, quantitative measurement?
Same tests one would use for non-alternatives, I imagine.
Personally, decongesting my spleen, etc - and clearing my intestines of sludge - speaks for itself. For my parents, the cessation of TIAs and pulmonary clots has been life-extending.
Lumbrokinase blew away a bad DVT in my rt leg, in 2 months, no Eliquis poison.
My Doc wanted me to take Eliquis for a YEAR.
Brilliant!
Imagine the benefits to cardiac patients and many others... IF the Docs didn't suppress these amazing enzymes...
DMSO too... Fenbendazole... Ivermectin... Artemisinin... Apricot seeds...
Much of what you mentioned is in Dr. Tau Braun's protocol which is posted on X. He is a bioweapons expert and discovered 3 ways the spike wrecks havoc on the body. I would add Augmented NAC vs NAC as it breaks down more of the spike protein.
It's imperative that microclots are broken down as it is believed to lead to the white, fibrous clots. Berberine to repair the cuts in the endothelial lining which lead to the body clotting.
See the substak Clotastrophe for more information on the white fibrous clots which cannot be broken down and must physically be removed....if the patient survives them.
Bravo.
Well I don’t plan on using Trumps new prescription site. I’m 75 and don’t take prescription drugs. I take a lot of supplements however. My wife’s attitude is that “if insurance will pay for it, you don’t want it”!
Excellent advice.
I wonder if the fanatics will refuse to use it because Trump's name is on it.
I wonder of the Trump family will profit off of this.
Legit question, no?
Interesting question Frances. TDS is a powerful ailment.

I still have my well-worn copy of My Imitation of Christ by Thomas à Kempis which was given to me at 14 years old when I entered the seminary to study for the priesthood.
If you still have it after all this time, I'd like to read that book =)

You typically leave a thoughful reply under these, and I look forward to them and have yet to see one. Hope all is well!
I've bookmarked it just now for later reading. I'm out the door for an afternoon of therapy. Chronic pain has made me chronically unable to keep up with everything.
Understood. I know you've been battling that and I had hoped it had gotten better over time. I will put and keep you in my prayers to overcome this

A cheaper blood thinner medication will allow more people to take it. The side effects can be severe... and profitable. From sad experience -- bleeding in the eyeball, causing blindness; bleeding in the brain, causing complete short-term memory loss; fluid build-up in the lungs, which can appear to be caused by congestive heart failure, leading to a hospice classification. After a hospice classification, the medical establish can pretty much have their way with you, and no one will hear you scream.
A friend took it. Now his heart is “shredding”, (his words). Idk that I would take any “free” (covid vax) drugs.
Agree. It’s free but .
Also did you know they lowered the blood pressure scores to get the other half of world on blood thinners.
That’s their most used play from their playbook
Cheaper, even free Big pHARMa drugs! Woohoo!
...or...
Cheaper, even free hemlock!! Woohoo!
These are interchangeable. Big pHARMa drugs are just slower acting.
True story.
I won't be lining up for my cheaper, free hemlock. Nor should other right-thinking people.
Regarding affordability as the Democrats buzzword: what else could they have chosen? Seriously, is there any other topic that wouldn’t make them look like fools or worse? Immigration, crime, trans ideology, foreign aid, government regulation, healthcare: they’re on the wrong side of the majority every time.
What I love is how so many bad things keep boomeranging back to the dems.
They are all screaming about the Venezuelan boat thing, and low and behold Chuck Schumer push through a law that made what Trump is doing to those boats legal. Then we find out the immigration scam with sponsors was, wait for it, a law made by democrats. Then we read the quote in the comment above from Obama about how bad illegal immigration is.
The Democrats would be nothing if it weren't for all of their hypocrisy. Democrats really that stupid or are they just amnesiacs? They don't seem to remember anything that happened before last week. Well I guess that's probably the percentage of mentally ill people in the country, and they all happen to be democrats. Or dead. Lol
They are flailing because they are trapped, by their own actions and by Trump. Blatant lies and the hope that voters don’t remember things like Biden inflation and Obama “solving healthcare” are all they have left.
They count on US not being able to remember 😑
Party consists of the easily brainwashed. Morality invented by media day to day. Spiritually adrift.
I certainly hope something happens to health insurance prices. My husbands and my premiums went from $1000/ m to $3200/m. That’s a $10,000 deductible. We had to go to a bronze plan for $2400/m. We are in our 60’s and would be wiped out if we had a big medical bill. I guess I will keep driving my 14 year old suv.
It's easy, Tiny. Just never get sick. And don't buy health insurance. Use your money for food and travel. Er, I gotta go. They're coming to put that damn straitjacket back on me.
Don’t go to Doctors !!! They’ll kill you !!
Ditto hospitals. How many people are sick in hospitals? All of them!
Stop seeing doctors who want to test you
The screenings are free!!! But if they find something, it's big$$$$.
It’s not health or care
They r the problem they know how to keep u alive and simultaneously fat sick stupid and addicted and looking to them for answers… sad but legit
Some system, huh?
Health insurance in case of catastrophic injury or illness is a necessity unless one is independently wealthy.
I would be curious to have more context to this. Is this coverage that you purchased on the federal insurance marketplace or a broker/agent, are you both self employed or does your employer not offer health insurance, is $2400/mo. for both of you combined or individually, is the $10K the out of pocket limit or truly a deductible and is that also combined for both? That would be interesting to know.
"If you like your plan, you can keep your plan"
Such a devious lying president. I wonder what the plaque below his picture on the wall reads...
Agree.
I hear you…. In the same boat. 😞
I have commented here before that my husband, Dr. David Wilkinson, MD was refused the Ivermectin script he wrote for himself by the very hospital he served. I reached out to multiple attorneys to take our case. My husband survived and is back to practice by miracles of miracles which including a double lung transplant. I published a memoir with the details: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BXTCFRT4/
I want to pass a law that if what the physician has prescribed will do no harm then they cannot be refused what they wrote for themselves. In this case, would Ivermectin he prescribed have kept him off of the ventilator, made a DNR eventually resulting in a DLT.
Evil is real and demonic influence is commonplace. The system failed because of actual people. What individuals were responsible for the attacks against your husband? These cowardly criminals who hide their evil intent and ideology behind policy and excuses have names.
Why does Michael Jackson look like a hostage?
The poor guy was never comfortable in his own skin.
which skin?
He like being in children skin.
Pdiddy, if we are to believe him, claimed that Michael Jackson never was a pedophile. Only that he was a child who never grew up, and was only comfortable around other children. Also there were kids who stayed at Jackson's home who testified in court that Michael never touched them. I believe that Jackson was someone who was lied about so extensively as leverage against him. There were many in his circle who wanted his money and his influence. I just never got that he was that creepy pedophile they tried to say he was. I could be wrong but there never has been proof. Often real pedophiles will point to someone like Michael Jackson so they can feel better about themselves. I don't know.
I didn’t believe that at the time, in the last years I have wondered if it was a smear campaign against him. I do hope that he wasn’t one.
My research points to him not being one, and being falsely accused destroyed him.

From the Congressional Record, January 27, 1917:
JP Morgan, Steel, Shipbuilding, and “powder” interests hired 12 high-ranking newspaper execs to determine how to “control generally the policy of the daily press” throughout the entire country.
Answer: They found it was only necessary to purchase the control of 25 of the greatest papers.
…the policy of the papers was bought, to be paid for by the month; an editor was furnished for each paper to properly SUPERVISE AND EDIT INFORMATION….
This policy also included the suppression of everything in opposition to the WISHES of the interests served.

Trump has always defended Michael and trusted him with his kids.
Michael's primary accusers were proven to be lying, while many children came to his defense.
He was a very savvy businessman and made a lot of powerful enemies because of it.
I also think that he had to have seen the sexual abuse that is rampant in the entertainment industry and felt like he was one of very few with the power to expose it. When they couldn't take him out with their smear campaign, they took him out for good.
I accept that you don't know.
All that surgery turned him into The Scream.
He definitely had some mental issues. As do most of his family who have surgically erased their features.
Did you hear about the Michael Jackson sale at Macy*s? All boys underwear half off!
Young people are not getting married and they find single life is very expensive.
Marriage brings challenges but it also brings opportunities. One salary saved one salary for expenses. Common focus of family and commitments brings success and happiness.
