At least the little tyke didn’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. He’s three! He has a sin problem just like you and I, but he really isn’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! πŸ˜‚

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 β€˜safe’ place. But I didn’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 β€œSanta brought me some toys!” 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 18’.

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. He’s just THREE years old. He’s a baby, for cryin’ out loud.

I thought it as hilarious. And either quick thinking by the 3-year old or his heart really is pure. I’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 don’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.

It’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. It’s very dangerous. My son at 3 years old was into everything.

My brother testes the gas stove burner with wrapping paper at 4 yrs old. Panicked and put the flaming wad in the trash can... full if wrapping paper.

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 Israel’s enemies.

β€œWho is the enemy?,” she asked. β€œThe Palestinian people. Why? Ask them, they started…” Shaked’s political ideology with respect to the Palestinians is worth quoting in full:

β€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.

β€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 started…

β€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.

β€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.”

I had a new one born at the beginning of October. I got to hold him all night at the in-laws celebration and had to share him at my parent's gathering. There's nothing sweeter, is there?

It's funny how Jeff describes the religious aspect of the Covidians with their made up science terms, like β€œPersistent covid” 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 β€œPersistent covid”. 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), it’s the just the new normal. Covidians’ 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. Instead employers have been demanded to destroy the records and organization like the police, instructing them not to include it in the employee file but keep a list.

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 Gates’ 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.

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.

Reading your text, I remembered a video interview Rick Warren did with Francis Collins where Rick praised Francis. It is disturbing. I easily found a clip of that interview at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQL7bacD6g4

And people have no idea the damage it causes when they give credence to a false teacher.

Amos 8:11

'"Behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord God, β€œwhen I will send a famine on the landβ€” not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord."'

I have yet to see Rick Warren preach the true Gospel.

Yes, I never understood why the Graham family fell for the covid narrative. I started paying close attention to what doctors say and do, whether they really support patients' rights, and whether they support people's own health choices for themselves VS following their bosses or pharma as far back as 1998. I also want Congress to pass a law banning pharma companies from all advertising and all sponsorships, which would take down their power a notch.

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.

I think I should go for the obvious direct route. Apply in person. That day I should wear a nice floral dress with the Ukraine flag on one sleeve and a rainbow flag on the other. On my application, I shall self-identify myself with the personal pronoun 'Duh!' And since my dad was born in Cape Town, South Africa, I'll put Afro-American as my race/ethnic identifier, appearances otherwise. I think this should do it.

But if that is not enough, I can always chant loudly, "Up with Ukraine, Down with The Putin." And throw in some singing ... like Woke, Woke yah Boat, Gently Up the Stream. And it's actually Up the Stream because with these people, everything is upside down backwards.

Why do people want to join Nato? Is there a reason?

Russia wanted all of Ukraine. The Ukrainian army pushed them out of Kyiv, Hostomel, and Kharkiv and Kherson.

Is Russia controlling all of Ukraine? No. That's evident.

True history shows Putin's war to be a failure because now there's another Nato member on his border. Was that his plan?

I completely agree Jeff C. I'm willing to turn my head to the lie if it means the killing stops.

Plus, Biden is so far deep in so many other Biden Administration evil debacles, I highly doubt a fake "Ukraine wins" moves the needle for him.

This is our problem ... lie accommodation. For example, we who presumably loath evil accommodation of the Evil Ones continually aid and abet their narrative by using their made up fake descriptive language. For example, what is Long Covid? Does Long Covid ever point to real world cause and effect? Or is it just a Jim Dandy tool of obfuscation, deflection, cover-up?

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.

Life is so odd ... and everything from laughter to heart wrenching tears.

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?

Russia holds less land today than it did last fall.

Ukraine is better armed and ready to fight than 2 years ago.
