At least the little tyke didnโ€™t set off the fire alarm to clear the premises. That'd be suspicious....you would think. Regardless, I sense a career in politics looming. He's got the White House BS jargon down, is opportunistic and quick to act - under the right circumstances....maybe the DOJ?

Frankly, I've had enough of politicians attempting to clear up confusion by doing what's best for me. So far that hasn't been working out.

I think it's worse that their parents accepted his explanation. They did so because it made them feel good about themselves (even thought they knew better). It reinforced their belief that they are teaching their kid to be selfless, and kids are very smart about staying out of trouble by using the "but that's what you told me to do" dodge.

Relax. Heโ€™s three! He has a sin problem just like you and I, but he really isnโ€™t able to reason around his temptations. Great story and no real damage done! Sounds to me like the parents have a good handle on what sort of personality they are dealing with in the middle child! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Which reminds me of my Christmas story. When my son was three, I thought I had found the perfect place to hide Santa gifts until the big day. There was a high cabinet attached to the ceiling over the bathtub, so that was the โ€˜safeโ€™ place. But I didnโ€™t realize the boy was part monkey and could climb like one. I walked in one day to find him INSIDE the cabinet from which he yelled in excitement โ€œSanta brought me some toys!โ€ He had to climb onto the toilet seat, then pull himself up on a towel bar on the wall from which he could reach the cabinet edge and hoist himself up from there.

It was a precursor of an exciting life as his mom; he was never afraid of heights and went on to attain world class status as a pole vaulter in college with a vault of over 18โ€™.

I agree that "I" is used WAY too much - and incorrectly - when "me" would be correct. In this case, though, it IS actually "I". There's an unspoken "have" at the end of the phrase: "He HAS ... just like you and I HAVE ...."

It's not reasoning, per se. Young children are very tuned into parents emotions. They know what makes them happy and what doesn't. They don't know why something makes their parents happy, but they are keenly aware of what does make them happy. In this case, the effect was to keep the kid out of trouble, but the intent was to make mommy and daddy happy.

Oh, lighten up. Heโ€™s just THREE years old. Heโ€™s a baby, for cryinโ€™ out loud.

I thought it as hilarious. And either quick thinking by the 3-year old or his heart really is pure. Iโ€™m voting for the pure heart.

My grandson would have done this when he was three......and we would have laughed all day AND all year long about it. He is now one of the most thoughtful teenagers I have ever seen. Everyone he meets walks away and says the same. And is the funniest guy on the planet.

I donโ€™t get the negative comments on this. The story is very funny.

Expand full comment

It is a funny story. For me, part of the funny in it is the child's ability to manage the parents' behavior. Isn't that kind of a running joke - how kids can run their parents as much as parents run their kids?

Expand full comment

In many cases, even more so......but I also think 3 year old children are the most interesting. That, to me, is the perfect age. I loved every stage my children went through, but I find age 3 to be the best. They are so curious, so unafraid, so funny. Just perfect in every way.

And that he was able to weave a story about why he did it, tells me there was a ring of truth to his story. Sigh......I miss it.

How about the fact he asked for Scissors and the parents did not wake up. Now that's scary! Those scissors could of been found in an outlet.

Itโ€™s probably a work of fiction designed to get publicity. What parent would not be concerned that their child was up and wandering about at that time. Itโ€™s very dangerous. My son at 3 years old was into everything.

I have a question...how do all the stories we read about private people end up on the news? (assuming they havent posted the stories to social media).

Expand full comment

We were contacted by a local journalist after said journalist read my humorous account of an incident on our neighborhood listserv. (The rules allowed outsiders to be on the listserv, but most of us wrote thinking only of our neighbors reading it; I certainly did.) One night in the middle of the night, there was a ruckus outside our toddler son's bedroom window. We raced into his room and called out; it was the police, who had just captured a neighborhood car-burglar in our back yard, right by the house (we had a person or persons roaming the neighborhood nightly, testing door handles, and then stealing out of unlocked cars. The neighborhood was old and had very few garages, so most cars were parked in the driveways. The burglar had jumped over our fence into our yard while running away from the police and tripped over our son's toys, scattered on the back patio. Our son said, the next day, "I helped catch the burglar!" And I despaired of ever getting him to clean up his toys again, lol. (And I did not allow the journalist to publish the story.)

Expand full comment

Cute story! Did the journalist offer you money?

So I assume that they do ask permission?

Expand full comment

The journalist wrote to me via the listserv and asked if I'd consent to be interviewed so s/he (can't remember) could publish. I said no, so if there were going to be an offer of money, we never got that far. I didn't get the impression there would be, though. I think if the information were somehow public, they wouldn't need permission, but it was only on a listserv for our neighborhood, so it wasn't public.

Well this, "kill them all" program has been going on for a while.

For example in 1971 Israeli politician and Minister of Justice Ayelet Shaked has unequivocally and ontologically declared that the Palestinians are Israelโ€™s enemies.

โ€œWho is the enemy?,โ€ she asked. โ€œThe Palestinian people. Why? Ask them, they startedโ€ฆโ€ Shakedโ€™s political ideology with respect to the Palestinians is worth quoting in full:

โ€œThe Palestinian people has declared war on us, and we must respond with war. Not an operation, not a slow-moving one, not low-intensity, not controlled escalation, no destruction of terror infrastructure, no targeted killings. Enough with the oblique references. This is a war. Words have meanings. This is a war.

โ€œIt is not a war against terror, and not a war against extremists, and not even a war against the Palestinian Authority. These too are forms of avoiding reality. This is a war between two people. Who is the enemy? The Palestinian people. Why? Ask them, they startedโ€ฆ

โ€œBehind every terrorist stand dozens of men and women, without whom he could not engage in terrorism. Actors in the war are those who incite in mosques, who write the murderous curricula for schools, who give shelter, who provide vehicles, and all those who honor and give them their moral support.

โ€œThey are all enemy combatants, and their blood shall be on all their heads. Now this also includes the mothers of the martyrs, who send them to hell with flowers and kisses. They should follow their sons, nothing would be more just. They should go, as should the physical homes in which they raised the snakes. Otherwise, more little snakes will be raised there.โ€

It's funny how Jeff describes the religious aspect of the Covidians with their made up science terms, like โ€œPersistent covidโ€ to describe Jab injuries.

Even with 3 shots and 2 masks they still get sick, and are confounded when the non-Jabbed amazingly never suffer from โ€œPersistent covidโ€. Science just can't explain it!

Expand full comment

I am surrounded by Covidians, who are chronically ill. The Covidian Cult grows stronger in my area, fueled by the compromised Healthcare System (primarily Johns Hopkins) and Group Think Influencers (primarily the highly educated, upper middle class). The concept that VAIDS is the real culprit is blasphemy. When there is a new sudden death (VAD - Vaccine Assisted Death), itโ€™s the just the new normal. Covidiansโ€™ ability to connect obvious dots went out the window when they abandoned critical thinking.

Expand full comment

Same here. At work, we don't hear from clients for weeks even after persistent follow-up. Why? They are either really sick for weeks, hospitalized with pneumonia etc, or they have been going through chemo and radiation for the last two months after a cancer diagnosis. They are vaxxed and some boostered as virtue signaling one's cult status was important. Absolutely no connecting the dots.

Totally agree. I think they should have branded them all like in David Crowley, the Grey State.

Speaking of Gates, (my apologies for the length of this post)

Indian doctors blame the Gates vaccine campaign for a devastating non-polio acute flaccid paralysis (NPAFP) epidemic that paralyzed 490,000 children beyond expected rates between 2000 and 2017.

In 2017, the Indian government dialed back Gatesโ€™ vaccine regimen and asked Gates and his vaccine policies to leave India. NPAFP rates dropped precipitously.

In 2017, the World Health Organization (WHO) reluctantly admitted that the global explosion in polio is predominantly vaccine strain. The most frightening epidemics in Congo, Afghanistan, and the Philippines, are all linked to Gates vaccines.

In fact, by 2018, 70% of global polio cases were Gates vaccine strain.

These countries are not alone in wanting his head on a pike; he is responsible for the mass sterilization of millions of Kenyan girls and women of childbearing age by a Gates-connected tetanus vaccine that was only administered to females. He's the reason Africa went with Ivermectin over the vaccines because they knew Gates was involved.

He's just about stopped the best campaign ever for stopping malaria & other mosquito borne diseases that was the sleeping net one that passed out free nets all over Africa & had just about eradicated it until Gates came & wanted it all to be vaccine based so he could make money from it. He had to stop the nets to show an increase in cases.

He even stopped the water well drilling for small villages because too many were staying healthy, so they weren't using his vaccines. He spread rumors about the wells being poisoned & the staff being slavers stealing kids so everyone would run them off.

And Italy also wants Gates kidnapped and taken to the World Court.

Agree completely. As for Lymes disease, grew up in western NY when we played outside ALL at the time, no TV, electronics, etc. Never once did we have a tick on us, never. Moved away 35 years ago. Now, Lymes and ticks are everywhere. About 10 years ago we visited and took a hike down an old railroad track that we used to frequent as children. Our pants were grotesquely covered with ticks! Something completely changed there and I firmly believe it was on purpose. I have several family members who still live there and several with Lymes disease.

I think you might have just hit on a distinguishing characteristic of the covidians! they really have no faith in God...no personal conversion (only lip service) so they have fallen for this pseudo religion! Many ppl have a 'form of religion' but they do not know God' Jesus says 'get away from me, I never knew you'. You know Francis Collins(head of NIH) is a professing christian and he was as big a part of this money grabbing corruption as fauxci/gates! Watch his self written covid song on youtube if you want to see what lying corruption looks like disguised as a christian. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBopklQUzPQ there are 2 of them.

Putin planned on taking all of Europe (he is the new Hitler after all) and we stopped him with just a tiny, insignificant sliver of Ukraine. That will be talking point, I predict.

The fact that the "sliver" contains the majority of the ethnic Russians, is all Putin said he wanted, and that any concession had been "unthinkable" will be quietly whitewashed.

Frankly if these ghouls need people to buy this to stop the killing then let them have it IMO. It's a small price to pay. God will deal with the warmongers.

Remember The Narrative which is ... evil Putin invaded the Ukraine out of the clear blue and nobody even saw it coming. (No mention of the 2014 CIA color revolution. No mention of Angela Merkle and her repeated statements about having not having any intention of honoring the Minsk Agreements, no recounting of 20 years of NATO encirclement of Russia, no mention of repeated subversion attempts inside Russia).

And so, the new Narrative that NATO and the Ukraine won because NATO and the Ukraine fought Russia to a standstill which prevent the Evil Putin from taking over all of the Ukraine. And guess what? A large segment of the US population will buy it because they are ignorant of really history. In essence, most Americans live in the Matrix. The live their entire lives in dream land.

Here are the choices IMO:

1) Don't challenge the Biden Admin on their absurd claim that they stopped Putin in order to ensure the killing stops

2) Throw a fit to prove Biden wrong at the risk torpedoing the settlement

Seems like a no-brainer to me. No one on our side will ever believe Biden and we certainly aren't going to parrot his claims. It's a choose your battles thing. We aren't accommodating a lie, or using their language, but recognizing that proving "we were right" isn't always the most important thing. Further, doing so could have terrible consequences for the Russian and Ukrainian people.

Completely agree that the pursuit of truth is noble and that we shouldn't adopt the left's lies. I've been tying myself into a pretzel avoiding the use of names/pronouns with one mental guy at work. I won't participate in his delusion. But I'm not going to rain down hellfire on the guy and get myself fired when I have people counting on me to provide for them.

(BTW, phrases like "and my esteemed colleague here" with a wave when forced to refer to him in a meeting has worked well. Plus it's just funny to think about.)

There are different levels. Depending on circumstances, not directly pummelling the invincibly ignorant and/or the partially mentally disabled with the full fire of truth makes sense. And much more in the practical world of most folks' inhabitation is accomplished by indirection and/or by broaching subjects obliquely. On the other hand, those who change the world the most do so by an uncompromising insistence upon truth regarding matters at hand. These though often do pay a price. Or at the very least are willing to pay the price.

Putin didn't want "ethnic Russians'. He absolutely razed Marinka to the ground and flattened Bakhmut. Putin wanted all of Ukraine. That's evident by his essay claiming Ukrainians were Russians. That's evident by his victory declaration on day 2 of the war stating "Ukraine had returned to Russia". Did that happen? No. His armies are still launching suicidal meat assaults into Avdiivka. that shows they haven't accomplished their objectives. Zelenskyy is a native Russian speaker and his hometown of Chasiih Yar is not under Russian control. Obviously it's not true that Russia got what they wanted.

Russia still hasn't accomplished any of their major goals such as installing a puppet government in kyiv, annexing the coast into Russia (The "Novorossiya"), and stopping "nato expansion". Were all of these evil "Bio labs" only in the east? Why would he stop when they are undoubtedly all over?

Itโ€™s kind of a โ€œwhat would Jesus do?โ€, kind of thing.

He said they always put the wrapped gifts under the tree a few days before Christmas. Only years later did he discover his kids wriggled under the tree and surgically cut slits into their gifts, enough to see what they were, then taped them carefully back together, so Mom and Dad were none the wiser.

Jeff, I made a weak attempt at a persuasive argument yesterday and it paid off!

I greeted the young woman working in the tanning salon with the usual โ€œhow are youโ€ and she said she wasnโ€™t great. I asked why not. She said it had been a tough Christmas. She lost 3 people over the weekend. I expressed empathy and asked what happened. Two had died in their sleep. One she wasnโ€™t sure the details yet.

Trying to remember Jeffโ€™s strategy on the fly, I said โ€œI hear there are a lot of people dying in their sleep these daysโ€. Then, I suggested maybe it was the spike protein.

โ€œThe what?โ€ She said. Apparently she didnโ€™t know what the spike protein was. My heart sunk a little.

โ€œOh you mean the shot?โ€ She asked. (Well, yes perhaps.) And then she offered that she never took the jab. And she is the only one she knows in her age group that didnโ€™t do it. And she almost lost her previous jobโ€ฆand we had a great conversation.

Now with all my reading and research about the newest jabs on the block, she is refusing all jabs, but she does take Ivermectin once a week along with a healthy diet, exercise, vitamin D, etc. She unfortunately did get the original two Pfizer jabs; however, since then she has been okayโ€ฆone minor cold. Her jabbed and continuously jabbing friends have had cancers, heart issues, colds, neurological issues, and flus. Her friends are sick a lot. She is not. She is doing very well. Some of the issues her friends are having are probably related to normal aging; however, much of it is likely jab exacerbated, too. It is so very sad what is happening in our world.

Imagine being smart enough to avoid the Clot Shot but still thinking a Flu shot would be useful.

That same "person" granted anonymity also knows the "thinking" of Biden. I smell an AI story.

In the future they should just make up a name like General E. Stu Pidputz. Nobody will fact check it and it will be far more believable... not that they care about that in the media.

I sense a substantial narrative shift on Covid to blame persistent infection, both as a way to protect the vaccine industry and also as a means to impose restrictions on our freedoms as new variants are released in the upcoming election season. The shell game has not stopped.

Plus they need only to wait it out for another year or so. Keep changing the narrative to address the truth from coming out. At work I hear ambulance sirens several times a day. Currently I know of over 2 dozen people with recent cancer diagnosis. Yep. By the time the covidians actually admit what is happening, it will be too late.

Hehehe... You just quietly slid that right by us - "released". Spot on! We have got to STOP talking about the "variants" as if they are the result of a naturally evolving virus. Seriously! We only empower their narrative.

1) It's not a virus. Hello! It's a synthetic, chimeric, laboratory created bio-weapon based on a computer simulation of a corona virus.

2) This bio-weapon is "replication defective" meaning it can't reproduce and spread and, as a result, it can't evolve into variants.

3) As demonstrated by Dr. Martin, all this information is in the patents in the public domain.

4) The original covid "strain" did not spread from a single point in Wuhan due to the fact that it is replication defective. Wuhan was just a cover story. It was released simultaneously around the globe to kick-start the plandemic psy-ops. From that point on, the "pandemic" itself was a creation of the psy-ops and all illness was reclassified as "Covid".

5) To the extent that there are so-called variants, these are once again, laboratory creations released on a pre-determined schedule to maintain the psyops.

6) I'm still waiting for someone to prove to me that these things actually exist by isolating a "virus" from an infected person. Why has no one shown that? I'm just guessing that if they did do that then the whole world would see that it's not a virus.

I agree. If the editor here had strikethrough, I would have used it. But the term "released" was deliberate. Expect the worst as the election cycle develops. Trump must be stopped at any cost. This is a whole-of-deep-state effort. He knows too much, and his powers to declassify information will expose and completely dismantle the sewer of deep state, which transcends borders and leads straight to the head of the snake. Only Trump can do this. The others (except maybe Vivek & RFK) will succumb to the pressure (and, most likely, compromising information) and let it continue its trek to global domination. My $0.02.

They had to rush itโ€™s release, hence much of the confusion in the explanations from the murderers. PDT had to be removed, without making him a martyr.

I work for a medtech company, and one of the things we are hearing is that doctors and nurses increasingly just don't care anymore. It's not a majority - not even close. But the percentage seems to be increasing. Which brings me to:

I occasionally post about people in my small circle with sudden serious conditions. One of them, a super smart, funny, friendly woman was diagnosed with Stage 4 inoperable lung cancer. After the shock subsided just a bit and they started planning for end of life, they set up a second opinion at an esteemed cancer center. It turns out she had follicular lymphoma, was quickly treated, and has just passed the six month clear checkup. How do doctors get a diagnosis THAT WRONG? Do they just do a "quick read" and then file it away? NEXT! And the doctor who gave the second opinion had to threaten them to get them to send their test results - that's pretty suspect IMO.

My 70-year old cousin has been losing weight, and she is a smoker. She went to the doctor and right off the bat he told her it was probably lung cancer. Wow, way to go, Mister Bedside Manner! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ. I told her it sounded like hyperthyroidism. Fortunately I was right, and her lung scan was clear. Shocked that a doctor could be that insensitive.

When I was a resident, the attending (senior) surgeon I was working with gave a patient her breast cancer diagnosis by saying, "You have breast cancer; that's the way it goes sometimes," and then walking out, leaving me there to figure out what I should do to help the poor woman. When I was in medical school, on a Friday, an attending physician gave a patient her diagnosis of HIV/AIDS (back before effective medications; it was a death sentence at the time) with zero counseling, saying someone would be in touch on Monday or so. In those days, rumor had it that some people committee suicide when they were diagnosed. All of this happened in the late '80s-early '90s.

Expand full comment

It was no rumor. I lost a couple of friends to suicide back then who were diagnosed with HIV, not even full blown AIDS.

Ironically enough, I did a research project on HIV/AIDS while in high school when many people still thought they could get it from public restrooms. I was way, way ahead of the knowledge curve.

I say ironically because of who was in charge of the government response back then used almost the same playbook while being in charge of the government response during Covid led me to being highly doubtful of anything he said...

Political correctness has been affecting medical school admissions for decades. I sat on a board deciding which applicants for a full Army scholarship to medical school would be accepted, and I was so shocked at the poor records of so many that were accepted that I spoke to our representative at the Office of the Surgeon General about it. (The methods were rigged, and we physicians were used as cover, pretending that we chose those applicants.)

Poor students with wealthy parents can be admitted to medical school and even graduate, as did one person at my school whose parents donated a building. Threatening a medical student or resident with academic discipline can result in a lawsuit claiming 'loss of [very substantial] future income.'

Some time around 2007-9 or so a fellow physician in charge of a specialty residency training program, as I was, shared his experience of a patient who arrived very late for clinic due to the existing horrendous parking and traffic situation. The resident who was supposed to be learning how to practice the specialty while a resident trainee said to his senior supervisor (and senior ranking military officer) that he couldn't see the patient because he had to go to the gym. Not only is that against the medical ethic I was taught, it's opposite-world to the military ethic.

My favorite Christmas story. High school age son. Post high school special needs daughter. Tradition is the special needs daughter wakes up brother to open whatโ€™s in stockings. Then they wake us up for presents.

I wake up to find both stockings unwrapped and special needs daughter sitting quietly next to them. In my wisdom I decide she opened hers and her brothers stocking. In horror I lecture her about how she is only to open hers. Then frantically race the clock to rewrap brothers stocking gifts before he wakes up.

She says nothing the whole time. Probably because I was busy lecturing her.

Enter brotherโ€ฆ.. half hour later.

He says while rubbing his eyes, โ€œWhy are my presents all rewrapped?โ€ I stare in horror.

โ€œUm, what?โ€ I ask. ๐Ÿ™„ Gulp.

He says, โ€œWe already got up at 4am and unwrapped the presents and I went back to bed.โ€ ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ

So he got to unwrap twice as many gifts as his sister. ๐Ÿ˜‚

We have laughed about that every year since! Wow. Needless to say my daughter got lots of apologizing that day.

My wish for the New Year is, the lid comes off the "covid" scam and the jabs are revealed to be bioweapons that only kill and maim. The part that will be hard for the covid cultists to come to terms with will be they killed their kids with the jabs because they were too lazy to do their own research.

Unfortunately, I think you're right, but not in a good way. 2024 is the start of year 3 after the jabs began. Several docs said in 3-5 years, there will be a large amount of deaths. I think too many to be ignored.

It took people like us (with broad shoulders so to speak?) to resist the blatant ridicule foisted upon those "doing their own research." I was told, "So you believe these quack docs on the Internet over the experts at the CDC?" Then when I'd give the credentials of these docs and scientists they quickly looked them up on Wikipedia and of course all their bios were changed. Most with 'anti-vaxer' added. It is shocking to me to realize how quickly and easily propaganda works on most people!

While my daughter was home over the holidays she watched a food show on CNN about Stanley Tucci, the actor, going around Italy, trying to find the best Italian dishes. Many of the places he was in, everyone would be masked, others, not at all. I am not sure when this show was produced, could have been a year or two ago, but it repulsed me to show people wearing masks, and then the next minute, the masks are gone and they are talking to Tucci about food.

The same is true about St Judeโ€™s commercials. Marlo Thomas is talking about giving to St Judeโ€™s and then they cut to supposed hospital footage and everyone is masked, even the smallest children. If this is old footage, it needs to go, but I think it is very likely big time signaling.

Regarding the kids masked at St. Judeโ€™s---masking around cancer patients has always been a thing bc they are susceptible to everything--and a mask really can protect against droplet based infections. So...

Expand full comment

Agreed, against the part about droplets, but surgical masks were worn to protect the sterile environment of the patient from doctors or nurses drooling into an open area. They were never worn to prevent microscopic nano particles from floating around. And if the masks were always worn why did they never show up in St Judeโ€™s commercials prior to covid?
