I was a HUGE tomboy growing up- I had two brothers and all of the neighborhood kids were boys. I grew out of it starting at age 14, and thankfully no one brainwashed me into anything when I was young.
I went through a horrible puberty. Grew 5 inches and went from a girl to a woman in 6 months. Needless to say I was a hot mess. Thank goodness my grandmother said I was a caterpillar coming out of my cocoon on my way to becoming a butterfly š¦. No need for hormones or gender bending. Thanks to my grandmother for her unconditional love and wisdom. ā¤ļø
I am forbidden any questioning of this plus vaxing. live 1000 miles away. I donāt know things happen until itās over as we are not consulted. Ever. The whole thing started right at lockdown. So we didnāt even see them for months and months. All drugged up with one mutilation at 18. He was on the spectrum before this. How dare these deranged monsters encourage this in a mentally hurt CHILD. They held the suicide issue over parents heads. This child does not seem happy plus I fear for him as he heads to a large blu state university in the fall. One that Iām sure will require even more vaccinations. This trans issue alone propelled me out of the demoRAT cult. I believe the HPV vax damaged him. I thought we raised a sensible daughter so I try not to think about it much and pray accordingly. Thanks for your reply.
My daughter is 11 and is on the autism spectrum. We wonāt let her near public schools for this reason. She is very easily influenced, and even though she loves Jesus, I could see her jumping on that bandwagon in a minute under the right (or wrong) circumstances. Homeschool your kids if you can.
Kudos to you for protecting your daughter like that!!! Homeschooling would be more difficult with this circumstance. I know because we have an adult child with intellectual disabilities. She did public school but if it were nowā¦.i would never leave her in the system. I would move mountains to homeschool her now. This pales in comparison, but we never told our kids Santa was real. We always told them the truth about all that. The teachers of her class back then had her convinced Santa is real. To this day she tells us heās real when we tell her heās fake. š Now, we are still friends and chat with this particular teacher to this day. But I still say the programming is real even if this is a minor issue.
maybe tell her that yes, he is real. He is called Saint Nicholas, a Bishop who lived 270 to 343, and who loved and protected children and gave them presents
Very sad. I am glad my boys were nowhere near this crap via school and already aged out when it started. If you subscribe to PITT there are many stories (some a lot of sad ones) that talk about kiddos on the spectrum thinking they are born wrong.
Dr. Andrew Wakefield said years ago, that children were experiencing 'gender dysphoria' due to being over vaccinated. The heavy metals etc. in the vaccines affect hormones & testosterone levels. Prayers for your grandchild ...
Thank youšš». I believe that. I wonder if some of this is associated with the HPV vax. My grandkid changed significantly after that one was probably given. Iām sure. I
Thank God for the wisdom of older, humble people from an earlier generation. Please don't answer if it's too personal, but I'm curious where your parents were during all of this. Also curious if your grandmother was of deep faith. I didn't have extended family where I grew up (grandparents were thousands of miles away) but found wisdom in an AA group that helped get me straightened out. God bless those people who help out mixed-up kids when the parent's aren't up to the task.
My grandparents were of deep faith. My parents divorced in 1969. We moved back to my mom's parent's home in Lancaster County PA. Thru my grandparents I was blessed to get a great foundation of love, faith and family. ā¤ļøāļø
I went from a little boy to an adult in twelve months. Grew 13 inches from 4ā11ā to 6ā. Between my 12th and 13th birthdays. Whew! Didnāt top out at 6ā5 until I got out of the army at age 24.
Wow - serious question - was that painful growing so fast in a short period? I wouldn't know - I only made it to 5' 2" and now holding steady at 5' 1 1/2"....lol
Ditto. Hot Epsom salt baths before school every morning. Grew 11 inches between end of 5th and beginning of 7th grade. Tallest person in my class (except for 1 boy) in 6th/7th grades. Could sprint faster, too, than the boys! šš¤£ By 8th grade they had caught up. I still preferred my dogs, cats, and horses (and books!) to boys, though, until Mr. the Knife came along. He is one of the GREAT ones!!
My son was similar. In 7th grade he started running cross country and track. Which required expensive shoes for practices and meets. He grew 3 shoe sizes in one year - we kept the local running shoe store in business, lol. The next year, I like to say, after he grew his 'platform' (feet) the rest of his body caught up - he grew 9 inches. So we went from buying shoes all the time to buying jeans/pants. Slowed down in HS and only grew 3 more inches in HS and topped out at 6'2" Funny as my daughter followed a more typical growth trajectory and is only 5'6", same as me , and my hubby is only 5'10". But his dad was 6'2" and my dad had 2 brothers over 6' tall so there were some tall genes in the background.
I grew 9 inches in one summer. Wasnāt recognized when I went back to school in the fall. My knees were killing me and as a bonus I got stretch marks. Lol
I knew Stanley Bieber personally and also know his Surgical Nurse. She said half of the ADULT sex changes regretted they ever did it and were suicidal.
Same! I spent most of my time during the summer and after school at my grandparentsā house, and the only other girl my age in the neighborhood was just as big a tomboy. I was the best tree-climber in the group. We were always in the woods, building forts, having mud-pie wars, etc. On the flip side, I got to teach the cutest boy in the neighborhood how to crochet. š„° But I never ever thought I might BE a boy.
Memories, Deb! I, too, climbed trees, built forts in the desert to play āwarā w/ the neighborhood boys, tubed the canal & hunted up scorpions & rattlers for fun. Didnāt come home til Mom rang the cowbell for dinner. You could hear it from everywhere š
Brass "ship's" bell, or a reasonable facsimile, mounted outside the back door at our house. The whole neighborhood knew it was roundup time/dinnertime at our place. A little like conditioning (ref Pavlov's dogs) and did engender some degree of embarrassment. For a while, in emulation, a parent in another home tried a fog horn can. It didn't last. Never knew if it was because the kids rebelled loudly enough or replacing the cans wasn't worth the $ or headache. Ah those halcyon dayz.
Not coastal. My grandfather spent his working life at sea. Little influences in our home life; the bell; the paintings of the sea and of boats; hand carved sail boats from 2x4s with a cardboard sail on a dowel rod and a string attached to a screw eye above the rudder so the boat could be pulled back and not just sail off into unretrievability...
Maybe part of our current problem is that as kids our free time was unscheduled (our parents stayed out of it and told us to āgo outside and playā) but today everything is scheduled. Parents micromanage and overthink EVERYTHING-including why girls might like climbing trees.š¤ They push kids into growing up way too soon. Itās okay if your teenager isnāt interested in the opposite sex. Thereās time for that later. Parents need to just let kids be kids.
Agree! There are many reasons for that sadly: unsafe neighborhoods (kidnapping, sexual predators), Parents working, (I think it is now illegal for children to be on their own) and finally (I read this years ago) stay at home mothers having to prove to sole provider husbands that their time home is constructive andcthat they are not lazy.
Oh there were all of those things back then too. We just didn't have 24/7 cable news and social media pimping non stop fear. There is a fine line between 'keeping kids safe' and instilling a fear of every dang thing into kids' heads about both real and ill-perceived risks. My sister lost a friend to a climbing accident in elementary school. A girl about my age (~10) at the time was kidnapped and killed walking home from a neighborhood pool. We knew about these things and yet our parents told us 'be careful' and still sent us out the doors. Hubby and I struggled mightily with all this when our kids were growing up -trying to find a middle ground between 'free range' and 'helicopter'. It's not easy, but do believe learning about and taking small risks builds confidence in kids and too many today are robbed of those opportunities as they spend more time with screens than the wider world around them. All in the name of 'safety' while we read stats of the mental health crises in school age kids. Sometimes you just have to let them go and pray.
What you say about letting kids take small (but informed) risks and growing up psychologically stronger - applies equally to developing natural immunity to diseases. We 70-somethings played in mud puddles, dirt, storm sewers - we even shared THE SAME POP BOTTTLE!! - and thus we have avoided many of the diseases-du-jour now contracted by kids who are bathed in antibiotic soaps daily.
Yes, forgot about that. Our neighborhood had manhole covers you could lift up and crawl down into the storm sewers that then led to the creek we played in. They way they are constructed in our neighborhood, there are no manhole covers for access, so at least didn't have my kids getting as filthy as we did, but my daughter did like mud, and tree climbing. And wearing dresses & fingernail polish. She was a tomboy in pink, lol.
And it takes wise, rational parents to overcome the current helicopter parenting trend. It was much easier in the 80ās to raise kids in a free range way. Pretty much everyone was doing it, the only organized play was pretty much little league.
It depends on the state, different states have different regulations and criteria for kids to be on their own. But you also have to be aware of your community values and know if there are nanny state enthusiast busybodies out there ready to turn you into CPS š
I liked climbing trees almost from the get-go. I didn't like wearing dresses and having to stay neat and tidy, sitting demurely while the boys got to rough house on the floor. I preferred being in the barn and being with all the critters: dogs, cats, horses, goats, sheep. Favorite activity: riding my horse bareback with just a halter on her, playing the (wo)Man from Snowy River at a dead gallop jumping fallen logs, creeks, whatever. Some of the best days of my life! Had a few spills along the way; my mother got to the point of banning riding horses on holidays after having to spend all of Thanksgiving day in the ER! šš¤£ - in fact, on the couch with a heating pad as I type this, as an old injury from a fall has been acting up this week.
The point is, during most of my growing up years, I liked to be rough and tumble, competing against the boys, and being perfectly happy in my jeans and tees and cowboy boots. Eventually, I did do the makeup, curling iron, and high heels thing. I wore a dress to prom. And our wedding. And to Easter services last Sunday! š
I think the "tomboy" phase actually helped me during tough times.
we visited my mother on the island. I told my kids (42 and 38 now, then pre teens) to be careful of wasps and snakes. Nothing like that now, especially with the tablets etc.
Aw Deb we grew up about the same .. I lived in a very remote place on the west coast with only siblings as playmates and one family down the road with kids our ages. We spent all our time trudging through the woods making really crappy bows and arrows from bent and sharpened saplings. One year I turned a large sand pile into a wonderland quarry for my tonka trucks. We had a creek and hunted crayfish and other creatures for hours on end. I road my horse at breakneck speed barebacj through the woods on poorly defined trails, we created games out of everything possible and never ran out of fun. I was neither girl nor boy and I remember the group of us (my brother and sister and I and our three neighbor friends) all being that way, no awareness of āgirl or boy thingsā ā¦ I wish my own kids had such an upbringing
I grew up with the best of both worlds - grandparents in the city and up north (as we call it in MI) during the summer and the farm/country life. So fun to be jumping in the lake one weekend and then visiting the farm and feeding the cows, pigs, chickens, duck - you never knew who would end up on the dining room table for the holidays...lol. My grandma's two questions I will never forget were "have you had your hug today" and "how do you know you don't like it until you try" - they resonate with me to this day. I was so blessed to have my grandparents growing up.
I canāt speak for FreeBird07 but we spent summers In Harrisville, MI and oh what fun! My grandpa built a small A-frame on Lake Huron and I lived in the water, caught frogs, rode bikes, petosky collected down to the lighthouse, etc. We still own it and split time between there and Boyne City. You?
Similar for me in S. Florida. Don't think I'd want my kids doing some of the things we did though, like catching baby gators to protect the "moat" around our fort.
I remember climbing to the top of a very tall tree and making it sway as far as I possibly could. Unfortunately, it was within eyeshot of my grandparentsā house and my grandmother nearly had a heart attack. š¤£ I donāt know how she survived me.
We had some really big willow trees in our back yard. I would climb up until the trunk was no thicker than my thumb and let the wind rock me. Good times.
My mom had twelve kids and never told me to stop. I think she had ulterior motives, being so worn out.
I was still climbing trees in my 50s. Not with regularity, but when the target was too good to pass up. I might be retired from it, -?- just don't think much about it these days. Started riding my bike during the scamdemic. Kid joy. Fantasizing about a long bike tour. Do I organize one - seniors only, a no hurry ride, ultimately a LOT of work so not sure on the balance of internal reward - join one, go solo...? Love that you put your bro in his place when he judged you. I've had to do that with an adult daughter if you can believe it; supposed to act my age.š Where did I go wrong?
Yeah I probably would be ready to climb one if I saw a good tree especially an apple tree š But there are few good climbing trees in my immediate area.
You should have told your daughter āyouāre only as old as you feel and I feel like Iām ten years oldā š¬ Good for you for still being up for a climb, and I love the bike ride idea, I say go for it!
My brother and his friend used to rope me into playing "Army" and flag football. We built forts using rusty nails, rusty old hack saws and whatever wood pieces we found around our house. We were gone for hours. We also rode minibikes (WITHOUT helmets) and made these ridiculous bike jumps that we somehow managed to get over without killing ourselves. We were frequently grimy, hungry and thirsty. We had bikes and we could ride all day we knew freedom at a cellular level. We grew up in the 70s. No all-day TV watching, no cell phones, no social media. I know every era has its problems, but I truly wish my kids formative years were more like mine.
For my bunch it was go-karts ... 40 mph with my butt 3 inches off the road, no helmet, lousy brakes, twitchy steering, on county roads with cars whizzing by.
There lies the rubāā But I never ever thought I might Be a boy.ā That statement is the whole of the current motivation. We never thought it because we weren't force-fed that absurdity. In ten years, those who mutilated these kids will be viewed as the Josef Mengele of the American holocaust of our youth. Their payday is coming.
Same here, Deb. I grew up with older brother and male cousin. My fave past time was digging trenches in the back yard. With old kitchen cutlery my mom gave us. Nothing like keeping kids active by digging big trenches with a teaspoon! :)
Then I started a mud-pie bakery. Such great memories. Getting muddy in God's dirt helped me develop an amazing immune system! And to this day, gardening is my Zen. I pull weeds by hand and enjoy getting down and dirty in the mud.
My daughter had one brother and 7 male cousins. As the only girl out of 9, she had no choice but to be a tomboy! Shooting a BB gun was a matter of survival! š And thank God she did survive that growth stage and became an awesome woman, and mother of two girls.
LOL! Probably. It belonged to the Waide brothers. We were either playing cops & robbers or cowboys & indians. I donāt remember which one shot me, but I know they were BOTH in big trouble! š¤£š¤£š¤£
I guess I was, too. Climbing trees. Playing on the railroad tracks. Playing in construction zones. Iām still not a girly-girl, and Iām ok with that! I had 4 children and loved being a mom.
Iām loving š„° reading all about these Tomboys . I really enjoyed my childhood as a Tomboy. I think it helped me in being a mother of 3 sons .ššš
Ditto and mom to 4 boys. Just told my youngest (soon to be 19) yesterday that I love being a mom to my 4 guys and loved playing with my boys...still do! We were at a park and watching a young dad with his little boy, and I mentioned to my son how I sure miss those days which led into talk of hoping for grands :)
I agree, I have two boys and while they arenāt the extreme physical risk taker types, they are still boys and I feel like I am at least not surprised or intimidated by them since I grew up with an older brother and several male cousins. I do sometimes wish I had also had a girl (because I wouldnāt trade my boys for anything so itād have to have been an additional child) because I was very close to my mom and am close to my sister too and I feel like there are just some things that women relate to differently. But I am sure God meant this for me for a reason ā¤ļø
Hi! Iām mom of five and never foresaw that for myself but I love it. Iām so good at being a homemaker, something I never would have wanted as a young person. These days Iām not girly girl but not too rough ā¦ somewhere in the middle. Iāve never tried to influence my kids and they have each chosen various versions of girl and boy ā¦ I have three girls and two boys. I am grateful the world has not dragged them off into the lgbtqdelusion. I feel for the parents of children who have bought into that world ā¦ my own observationsā¦ the more present the parents the less likely the children to fall prey.
We used to play in the houses under construction alsoā¦until we were using a 4x4 as a balance beam for gymnastics and one of the neighbor girls fell and put her arm through a plate glass window. That all ended really fast and if any of the neighbors saw us anywhere near one of the new houses, weād get an earful.
Ditto! Two older brothers and neighbors all boys. I didnāt have a girl friend until 4th grade when the boys told me I had cooties. lol. Still like men better than women. Much less complicated and no drama but I love being a woman and never felt like I was a boy. I never would have given up pretty shoes as a little girl to become a
boy even if I couldnāt climb trees in them. šš
Iām still a tomboy at age 60! When I was about 12, Iād wear my older brotherās clothes, including his boots. I havenāt worn a dress in decades and almost every day wear jeans, sweatshirts and work boots.
Oh me too! At 11, I had a popular boy at school tell me that the boys don't like me because I didn't "act like a girl". That sure threw me into an identity crisis, because if I can't be who I am, how can I be someone else? Fortunately, I grew out of that phase eventually and am now a beautiful, feminine mother of 3 and grandma of 8. Just be comfortable as who you were created, and tell anyone who doesn't like how you are to pound sand. We grow and evolve. Take care of your own proclivities.
āJust be comfortable as who you were created, and tell anyone who doesn't like how you are to pound sand.ā
ā¬ļø This!!
Itās funny though because the alphabet people keep saying others have to accept them as they are, when *they* donāt even accept themselves as they were made.
My sister was THE tomboy of the town. She could beat up the boys. I was not a tomboy like her but did my best to master tree-climbing, sandlot baseball, fishing, and crabbing. To this day, I am most comfy in jeans & a ponytail. My sister never once thought she was really a boy. She liked them too much, lol.
I too was a tomboy and had a treehouse and played with the boys in the neighborhood and girls too . But I grew out of it around puberty. I still like to hang with the guys š.
āWondering about life on the other side of the gender fenceā or any fence is called empathy and curiosity. Both are generally good things. Transitioning is wondering and wandering out of body. As weāve known for a long time, thatās a psychological problem.
I was a tomboy. All I wanted to do was play sports. I hung out with the boys. I liked boys. They were way easier to be around. They challenged and elevated my athleticism. I was still a girl.
I will probably be in trouble for saying this, but I prefer to work with men. For most of my working life, the problems in the workplace mostly came from the women, not the men. Of course, there are always exceptions to the rule, and the exception is usually a doozy!!
Same, honestly. I majored in chemical engineering and was almost always the only female in every meeting/project/everything - and I was just fine with that!
Just before this Newsletter hit my inbox I walked by a billboard about Sepsis (I live in Germany) - how to detect sepsis and a Link to a website about the topic. Apparently over a hundred thousand people a year die of it. And it seems to be on the rise. Must be caused by climate change or the far-right.
I just spent some time looking at pictures of chemtrails from all over the country. I watched a video of helicopters spraying. Helicopters doing it!!! So much for the -itās just from regular airplanes flying- crowd. š¤¦š¼āāļø
When I see the chemtrail planes overhead, I now, always pray imprecatory curses on the planes, pilots, the chemicals theyāre spraying and the entities/āpowers that beā who plan, finance, order & schedule these operations. May they lose ALL profits & gains from their evil deeds. May the designed effects of chemtrails all be turned back on them. In Jesus Name.
I like that prayer. I get weary of Christians thinking their prayers are to only be roses, rainbows and lollipops. Bless the evildoer Lord and help them see the err in their ways. I prefer Lord, please let them be caught in their criminal
Activities and face the consequences of what they have done to hurt innocent people. Let them be prosecuted for their evil deeds. Expose their criminal behavior and let those consequences then lead them to find YOU.
That seems more fitting for today than ever before.
People look at me like š«£ Iām gonna get hit with lightning. I donāt understand why we have become so soft and indirect in our prayers. I do know. Itās whatās been taught from the pulpits in America. A watered down version. Jesus is love. Jesus accepts everyone. Period. They stop there. How about Jesus is also just and righteous. We forget the difficult parts but love the lollipops and rainbows.
Sometimes I pray so fervently against those E vile so in soās I have to apologize and say of course I hope they meet Jesus and turn their power for good, but in my flesh I cry out for justice!
Often times, getting caught in the pit that they have dug is the highest chance of someone seeing the error of their ways - so in the long run it can even be merciful.
Iāve made a personal decision not to worry about it. No helicopters and nice blue skies in the rural area I live in. Plus, the Rapture is not happening on Monday. Iām chill. Cheers, Sunny.
Iām glad you arenāt worrying about it. Unfortunately where I am all I have to do is look up on any given day and see them everywhere. I also refuse to live in fear. I canāt control what the evil criminals do. It caught my eye because everyone was posting pics from what state they were in. Surreal to see all of those pics.
Btw. How do you know the rapture isnāt happening Monday? Just curious if you have insider information š
Iāve written to state reps. What I have found is that unless hundreds and thousands of others write tooā¦itās futile. They wonāt listen unless masses of people speak out. And even thatās no guarantee. They donāt care. They have whatever agenda they are involved with and that is above what constituents want.
Trying to get anybody to write anything to a representative is worse than pulling teeth. The people have been manipulated over the decades into knowing they donāt care so our attempts will fall on deaf ears. How many people do you personally know that have written even once to a representative? In my circleā¦ not one. And when I tell them I do or have they look at me like Iām crazy for even attempting to make change.
Thatās why I love when C&C puts out a call to action. Because more than one person will respond. Thatās how we might move the needle.
TN banned it a few weeks ago. Jeff reported on it. Though surprisingly Florida is one of the most active with allowing these chemtrails. Maybe Jeff is aware & working on it behind the scenes. This is the first Spring Iāve noticed it in western WA. Iāll see the aircraft ( usually at least 2) crisscross the skies for hours. The trails then spread out over time & cloud up the sky with fake clouds. Ironic as we have plenty of real clouds, but you can definitely tell the difference. Take pictures, share as much as you can & look at Geoengineeringwatch .org for good information.
Hi, Dena, this is the first year I have actually been looking for it - Western WA is cloudy so much of the year! - and one of the first nice days of spring they were out. It was a gorgeous day, perfect blue sky and by mid-afternoon it was all hazy. Makes me want to scream! Oh well, I can do that over on SimCom's 'Stack. šš¤£
Exactly right! Here's how I found out the same thing by almost by accident.
I had written an action report on bill purporting to give Virginia control over all Virginia streams (creeks, streams, rivers) and sent it out to Tea Parties and Tea Party people across Virginia. I testified about the bill in sub-committee and told the committee that it was really a Federal/State harmonization bill which put the Feds in charge. The committee chairman looked puzzled, looked around the room and asked some lobbyist/lawyer type, "Is he right?" And the guy said, "Yes." The bill was withdrawn by the sponsor of the bill. Afterwards, the sponsor came up kind of shaken and said, "I hope the people in my district don't think badly of me." I later found out that my email bill analysis had produced an avalanche of response to the delegate. And this is what got the bill scotched.
From this I learned that 1) in 'citizen' lobbying only numbers count. and 2) half or more of the time that elected officials have zero idea as to what may really be in a bill, and/or more importantly ... what the consequences of their enactments might be down the line. Also, most delegates, senators, representatives are pretty much dumb under-educated herd animals. Real thinking has to be organized and applied to the government bodies from outside. Finally, all elected officials care about is being re-elected. And if the opposition organized from without is overwhelming, the elected official will snap like a twigs.
If one is interested in results, one has to have a large group supporting. I saw the above confirmed time and again. We also see this with our C & C group. Not only do we multiply with Multipliers, we also multiply Jeff's clout. I guarantee you that the Florida elected officials know who C & C is.
Yes! I always think it's great when we receive the call to contact our legislators - or whatever entity (corporate or otherwise) needs to hear from a large number of people.
Iām impressed that Tennessee voted to stop it in their state. They also outlawed mRNA in their vegetables. I want that here. I hope Fl is not resting on its laurels....
Yes! Way to go TN! I am starting to be nervous about Florida and what DeSantis isnāt doing here in Florida. There is so much more like you already stated that needs to happen here.
Same! I laugh at manās audacity to think he can improve upon or modify Godās perfect creationāchemtrails and trans-humanism come to mind. Man is not that powerful. God reigns supreme. Forever.
Chemtrails, aka Stratospheric Aerosol Injection. I see it EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.
We have had rain, haze for months when historically there has NEVER been rain OR haze this time of year. Now, 2 or 3 days after I see the spraying..... haze....which also reduces photosynthesis. I see the checkerboard sky in movies, also. Even movies produced in Europe. It's ubiquitous!
āWe give You thanks, O Lord God Almighty,.....
The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come....
And should destroy those who destroy the earth.ā Rev 11:18
And, I don't worry about it either.
I DO, however, detox as best I can via NAC, glutathione and far infrared sauna.
They claim they want to block out the Sun for āclimate changeā temperature control. What itās also doing is blocking your availability to vitamin D and lowering your immune system.
Have you read about chaff? Itās mind boggling what our government does right under our noses. On my was to church this morning the sky was crisscrossed with those darn things. I guess the first step is know your enemy.
It's often blamed on covid infection, but not often on vaccination (which they likely aren't allowed to study).
I just watched a video from a set of twins that are very popular online. One of them very nearly died from sepsis after successful gall bladder surgery.
Thank you, Frieda. I will check out the house. Do I just go to their site? This reminds me of how yesterday during that Taiwan earthquake the rooftop pool of a tall structure was spilling its contents down over the sides. Thx again.
Every now and again, I think about fasting. But I never get past the hungry part. lol. There is a stomach biome specialist, on the anti vax side. Sorry I don't have her info handy.
You could try skipping just one or two meals to start. I find it hard to do long fasts but often skip breakfast and/or lunch and just eat dinner (though I still have milk coffees... so slightly cheating). My understanding is that shorter fasts still have some of the benefits, while not being quite as hard on the willpower!
Yeah, I don't miss too many meals, that's for certain. Thanks for your suggestion TB.
I saw this old Swedish fellow. He says if he weighs too much on the scale, he fasts until the weight is off. Or in his own words, "Habits not will power" - https://youtu.be/GUiFOhft_4M
Of course there's also Dr. Clark's amazing liver flush in her book (specific instructions), which can be downloaded as a pdf free of charge......(thanks to a C&C commenter):
The website recommends to get all your vaccinations as a preventative measure - even mentioning the Covid Jabs for babies and children... Otherwise the recommendation is to call an ambulance. This isn't really aimed at medical professionals and in this country Doctors are usually gatekeepers and don't really want to discuss treatment options with patients. On the positive side they aren't pharma pushers in the same way US doctors are.
Hospital Acquired Infections are a huge problem and have gotten worse since the mRNA jab has weakened the immune system of people who took it. Many people are going in for procedures and end up staying for weeks instead of days.
I was in the hospital once and when someone came in to change the I.V. I had to ask them to wash their hands. They huffed then walked to the sink and washed.
Www.thehighwire.com had a show on this last year sometime. A paper or two outlined a procedure using, I think a drip vitamin C concoction, that was very successful. Not fda approved of course becuz it bypassed big pharma. See if you can find it.
Our son lives in Nebraska. We love the state, and love visiting there - not only because our family is there, but because it feels like Mayberry, America - the true Heartland, huge cornfields and salt-of-the-earth folks.
Weāre praying that humble little Nebraska might play a big role in the direction of our nation. Having family there, we follow its politics pretty closely- we also celebrated when RINO Ben Sasse left the scene!
Forgive my ignorance, but how can an elected state rep just change parties in the middle of their term? Wasn't he elected by Democrats? Seems like they'd be pissed he's "changed teams". Can they recall him now?
So Nebraska has a unicameral (only one House and no senate). Our representatives are called senators and they actually do not run as republicans or democrats. You have to do the research to understand what their platforms are. But they donāt really advertise themselves as Dem or GOP. So as such, declaring heās switching parties doesnāt mean anything to his constituents. Additionally we already had a majority of conservatives.
Good to hear good things from Neb as we lovingly call it - grew up there in a very conservative family w 6 siblings, sadly the ones still there are all on the left or leaning left full of injected poison, and here I am in CA as conservative as ever with no toxic injections.
At least Oregon doesnāt split electoral votes. Itās makes you wonder if Maine & Nebraska electoral policies are Constitutionally sound. What if every state did this ? This would abolish the very purpose of the electoral college.
I am talking to my boys about finding women of God (WOGs) who will keep their homes and raise up their children. As time goes on, WOGs are becoming a rare commodityā¦ most young women are taught to pursue their own careers and goals without suffering the impairment of husbands and children. Very sad! I have three teenage daughters and they have all said they do not want to be mothers but for different reasons. I am standing by if they ever want to talk about the blessed path set aside for women by God Himself. They just need themselves some good MOGs š
One professional woman who was my co-worker remarked to me a long time ago that the women's Lib movement was the worst thing that ever happened to women.
It was intentional. Promoted by the Rothschild's Tavistock Institute. .1. To divide the family unit. 2. Get little children in institutional day care sooner and 3. To get more tax money from working women.
My Daughter in law has a very high paying VP position and appears to have no interest in having children. I donāt ask as sheās not my daughter. But Iām actually glad because because she took two Moderna shots. And influenced my son too. He took 1 J&J. So far so good? But Iām too old to raise grandkids if theyāre going to die early.
My husband's 2 60 yr old sisters are childless and a bit of a hot mess. I nudged my daughter and said "Look at your future. Doesn't look good does it?" She saw it clearly.
I think my girls will change their minds too ā¦ one has a very serious boyfriend and she is suddenly silent in the subject š ā¦ my oldest is fiercely āgirl powerā but she sees her sister so happy with her very solid boyfriend and the poor thing wants that too. My third girl is the toughest case, surrounded by gender consisting at her school and has possibly considered such things herself but we talk about this extensively. She knows I will always love her but that there are certain things I do NOT want for my children. I pray for all my children, they are in Gods good hands.
Amen! I keep mascara in my handbag and whip it out in the car for a quick wanding but only under duress. My daughters though ā¦ they spend hundreds on makeup each year and hours in front of the mirror ā¦ I went through that too as a young person but escaped! WHEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Belle, I borrowed some of my sister's mascara for a short while in 8th grade, but I kept rubbing my eyes when they itched (maybe it was the mascara?). Anyway, I decided I'd much rather rub an itch than not, and that was the end of my experience with makeup.
So true. One time my husband quipped that I was his trophy wife. I told him that would require a lot more money because I rarely use make up or worry about fancy clothes. Still holding space as the embodiment of divine feminine energy even without the superficial bells and whistles.
This is great. Iām a tomboy who loves being female and dressing up on occasionā¦ but donāt get crazy, and I raised my one girl the same (I also have 2 boys). Sheās pregnant with our first grandbaby now and when it was time to find out the gender she was super freaked out, like āmom, what am I going to do if itās a girl?ā I told her she would probably raise a tomboy like I did. Itās a boy.
Also, she met her husband playing intramurals in collegeā¦ played on ELEVEN teams per year and won the table tennis championship once. Sheās the best. This was Oklahoma state, btw.
For the tomboys: reading about your childhood antics makes me think you grew up as lean machines, no threat of diabetes or other obesity related conditions. Standing āOā for your parents and sibs who nutured that active life.
Iām kind of in the middle, I love clothes and makeup but never get my nails done or buy lots of shoes and purses. I do buy lots of running shoes though š I am not scared of snakes or spiders and not afraid to unclog a toilet either. So hopefully thatās a good balance lol š
I think Iām the only woman on my block that actually gets down on her knees and digs around in the dirt doing landscaping. Everyone else seems to go to Zumba classes, or water aerobics (or whatever they call it today). They walk by and marvel at the fact that we do it ourselves. In fact, their dog walks have become more frequent so they can see the progress! Hubs and I have saved thousands of dollars in landscaping labor by DOING IT OURSELVES. It isnāt easy, your nails get ruined, you sweat profusely, your hair ā¦ well.
Thatās awesome! I canāt say I enjoy gardening much though I like the results š I always hated my frequent childhood chore of pulling weeds so maybe thatās part of it. I get my outdoor time by running roads or trails. I always admire people who are handy and good at gardening or diy projects. I am not naturally good at any of that and donāt have the patience to learn right now. I do like growing herbs but theyāre pretty easy.
You sound great! I am raising up my five yo fear no critter. We look at them, we give them drops of water then put them outside unless it is too cold. I revive house centipedes that try to drown in the bath ā¦ I am a VERY rare woman. Look up a photo of house centipede š±. But they are very cool creatures, a crowded circle of legs and two sets of antenatae one pair back one pair front so that you have no idea what the āheadā is ā¦ they are apex predators of the buggy world and live long solitary lives. I let them go outside but if itās winter o put them in the basement
I love that! My two boys are more skittish about critters than I am š I guess I didnāt raise them right lol š¤Ŗ I am not a huge fan of insects but will try to take daddy long legs or stink bugs or maybe the odd centipede or millipede outside rather than kill them. I am a little paranoid about brown recluses since I didnāt grow up in an area where they are common and so if Iām not sure of what a spider is and it is in my living space, I kill it. I am fine with anything outside but donāt really like them in my living space š
I totally get that! Balance is key. My overall essence and vibe is ultra feminine but that does not mean I waste money on material abundance and I will also get my hands dirty. I do love a new fresh cushy running shoe. Brooks are my favorite! Whatās yours?! How much do you run?
Yes I do like balance! š We sound very similar!
My favorite shoes are currently Topo Cyclones. I used to be a die hard for the Altra Escalantes before they changed them š Itās hard for me to find good shoes because I donāt have wide feet but my toes like to splay, probably due to running around barefoot as a kid so much. So I canāt wear wide sizes but need a wider toe box. It took a while for me to realize this when I kept having issues with so many brands of running shoes.
I run a lot š¤Ŗš At least compared to most people I know who are ānormalā runners (not elite or semi elite). 40-60 miles per week usually.
Another runner (not as many miles per week) with a need for wide toe box runners - I also enjoyed a few seasons of Altraās but now have custom orthotics with Hokaās. Iāll have to check out the Topo Cyclones.
Topo has several models all with wide toe boxes, I would like to also try the Phantoms for my easy run days. I have also tried the Specter and the Magnifly 4 but like the Cyclone a lot better personally. Itās hard because few shoe stores carry Topos š So you canāt really try them on very easily. Topo has a good return policy though from what Iāve seen. I think Fleet Feet has them online but not sure if you can get them in store. REI has a few models but not all.
Thanks Running, I just checked and my local running shoe store carries some Topos so I will be able to check out size and fit! They look similar to Altraās.
Absolutely! I didn't mean to sound like I was knocking higher maintenance women. If my wife, God forbid, should ever get ill and require non stop maintenance I would be there for every second of it. I was more just kidding around. Different strokes for different folks, and I'm glad you found your perfect match. š
Difficult to understand what prevents these people FROM stepping up and merely saying "Well, I have taken 'x' number of jabs" - why are they so afraid to link illness, or even SUGGEST a possible link, to the ... " vaccine " (HATE to even call this thing a "vaccine").
Especially Lauren, she of all vax injured people should be using her voice to speak up. Thatās what she does, thatās who she is. Right now she may be in a state of overwhelm, denial or shock about her condition, and itās easier to focus her mind on getting re elected, clinging to what makes her feel strong and powerful, rather than facing the truth that she made a big mistake. This lady has been through a lot the last few years, and I pray for her.
I echo āconstituentsā! The switch in Nebraska, due to not towing the PARTY line, is monumental. Both parties have hijacked who the elected officials are obligated to represent. Moving away from extolling your local view to that of a national view dismisses the reason for representation.
It's odd too that the Drs. are throwing in the May-Thurner Syndrome. I know someone who has May-Thurner and it is obvious by looking at his left leg that there is something amiss. Pictures of Lauren Boebert (wearing skirts) show no such condition. Thankfully this young man wisely avoided the mRNA jab despite a mandate at his university. The story is sounding very Damar Hamlin Commotio Cordis to me. Maybe keep your eyes/ ears open for more surprise May-Thurner Syndrome diagnoses.
My 18 year old son has May Thurner. You don't always have a weird looking leg! Although my son does because he has 2 rare vascular diseases affecting the same leg. I was really worried about the vaccine giving him extra clotting issues since those with that diagnosis are susceptible to getting very large/long clots in the leg. He will probably have to deal with a clot sometime in the future even though he did not get a Covid vax. Not doubting the possibility an inaccurate diagnosis though. My other son had cancer last year at age 19- also not vaxxed! So, the vax isn't always to blame. I would have 100% blamed his cancer diagnosis on it if he was vaccinated though. And yes, I still hate the vax and do believe it is sadly injuring people and causing deaths. But, it wasn't the cause in the case of my children.
Kelly, Hoping that both of your sons will be well. Also looking forward to the day when we can have even a small amount of faith that the medical "authorities" are leveling with us and not trying to pull the wool over our eyes.
Yes yes yes!!! She needs to be curious about why this happenedā¦ And not just compliant and listen to the doctors first explanationā¦ I love my doctor, but I feel like she has been misinformed just like the majority at the medical peopleā¦ It is hard to go against the main streamā¦ I have lost friends and I have family members. We just canāt talk about this situation!
Too many perhaps "brainwashed" into actually believing that "we're doing this to save granny!" - what a terrific bit of propaganda this was - "save society, get the vax".
Another high profile likely SADS just happened: Vontae Davis, former NFL player, 35 yrs old found dead at home with no foul play expected. Sooner or later someone with a high profile is going to go on a public rant about how these vaccines are killing people.
I agree. I have to admit, I was somewhat shocked that she opted for the shots. And even more shocked that she had her children vaxxed! I guess she isnāt the gun-toting momma I thought she was.
Jeff Childers wrote, "But nowadays, at the first sign of a young ladyās interest in boy stuff, her parents fretfully schedule an appointment with the family doctor to talk about intervention."
That's actually the genesis of the problem. Parents have so little regard for their own common sense and God-given responsibility that they rush off to consults an "expert" (as if a doctor is anymore knowledgeable on this) when faced with parental challenges. They've convinced themselves that outsourcing their parental obligations and decisions is somehow a good thing.
Being a parent is both difficult and rewarding (as most hard things are). Yet generations have been brainwashed to think that outsourcing their kid's upbringing to day care, pubic schools, and specialists is somehow in their kid's best interests. In reality, it's a feel good mechanism to assuage the guilt they feel at not being involved in their kid's lives. If they aren't qualified to do it, then they can't be blamed when their kids go off the rails from their lack of involvement.
I personally was raised not by my parents but by the neighborhood teenagers (late 70's/early 80's) and as expected the results were a disaster culminating in hedonism, alcoholism, and drug addiction. (Set free by the grace of God thirty years ago.) My parents didn't think they were unqualified but just couldn't be bothered. I'm not making the same mistake with my kids.
The Woke Mind Virus is real. Imagine that idiot in Oklahoma who just now realized he's "more" of a Repub than a Dem.
The most fascinating of the Woke Left's hypocrisies is that being girlie is liking pink stuff, baubles, makeup and glitters; being boyish is liking short hair and pants. Nobody stereotypes more than Lefties. They are confused beyond all recognition, and obsessed with categories even as they gaslight sane people 24/7.
Honestly - and I know this is going to ring of having compassion toward them, lol - but I think they are just spiritually deprived. They've bought into the scientistic worldview that can and will only consider what is objective and concrete. Therefore, they have no ability to understand or process feelings or intuition, much less sense a deeper purpose or substance to life beyond the "categories" that "the science" has deemed real.
So, they are stuck, seeking the truth, but unable to find it b/c they are looking to the world of made-up materialistic categories rather than the deeper, more complete spiritual world. They focus on vapid and shallow concepts of "identity" because they can't or won't see the deeper, more meaningful spiritual concept of identity.
Yes, well offered. But their excuses have run out, whatever the reasons for their abject delusions. While a semblance of genuine spirituality is ultimately a long-term prerequisite, there's no reason why a strict rationalist like a Dawkins can't see the handwriting on the wall and stop the destructive behavior. (Dawkins has recently come around about 160Ā°, shocking his followers).
Oh yeah, for sure. The inability or unwillingness to see something more to life than just superficial labels and categories is a failing on their part, and as you say, even at that, they should be able to see the outcomes, the destruction their ideas and way of life cause to themselves and others. So, yeah, they need to change or they need to go. Because this isn't working and we can't change society to accommodate insane, addicted people. Enabling their illness and depravity is only going to make things worse.
Thank you for this comment. Social stereotypes are so limiting. Being a woman I especially hate the tomboy vs. girlie girl characterization. Yes, I climbed trees and ran with boys and girls as a kid. We all played together. Yes I like to look nice in a feminine way but am not obsessed with it. I like to shoot guns and lift weights. I'm especially good at math and science and made a career of it. I also took time off to raise children. Am I a "tomboy"? No labels needed as I am a natural woman as are most women I know. Follow your interests and aptitudes. That's what I'm teaching my granddaughter.
I love it. Exactly how I've raised my daughters who are excellent athletes. They hate bugs and snakes but it's clearly genetic(!!)They are also very happy. Everybody says how naturally beautiful and smart and kind and genuine they are but men and boys today are either too intimidated or too emasculated to take action on the best catches they will ever come across. And there you have it!
"Up on Cripple Creek, they send me. If I sprang a leak, they mend me, I don't have to speak, they defend me, a drunkard's dream if I ever did see one!"
Tomboy too; remain low maintenance. Spent more time on my horse than in school. One room school provided exceptional education; had to ābeatā the classes ahead.
I think part of the reason our country used to provide a pretty decent education is because of one room schoolhouses! They did a far better job than most of our schools with all their tech and their credentials do nowadays.
That was probably a Freudian slip--the typo 'pubic schools'--given what's been going one there, so hats off to you! (please don't correct it!) With you entirely on outsourcing the raising of the child of your womb to an outsider, for a paycheck.
Haha, thanks. Yeah probably Freudian as my opinion of public schools (and frankly parents who dump their kids in them without knowing what's going on) couldn't be lower.
We live in an excellent academic school district (one of the top in the state) and my kids did attend them for a while. (Elementary school didn't seem to be a problem back then though I wouldn't trust them now.) In the later grades my older son started coming home saying things like, "Jesus never actually said homosexuality was wrong in the Bible" and other obvious gay agenda talking points he was being fed by school staff. I was already extremely wary but that was enough for us. We pulled him out within two weeks once we had a sound biblical school lined up. His younger brother followed shortly.
People asked how we could do such a thing when the schools were so top tier (people fake their address to get into the district). Their new school was one-tenth the size of the public school and didn't have anywhere near the amenities of a prosperous school district. Plus tuition was never in our budget and we really had to tighten the belt (I drive a sixteen year old car that I fix myself and we don't take expensive vacations). But frankly none of that mattered, my wife and I knew we had to make a drastic change and felt compelled to do so. The Holy Spirit convicted us to step and and do what needed to be done.
It was one of the best decisions we ever made and I truly believe had we not intervened my son would be in a really ugly place right now.
I love this post. Congratulations on your harrowing journey and coming out on the other side intact holding in your heart space, the wisdom of the ages .
Thank you and truly God's grace is amazing. We all make mistakes, sometimes in an incredibly colossal, lame-brained fashion. People make mistakes towards us. It happens, we are fallen creatures after all. That's not the main problem, the problem is failing to learn from the mistakes.
Jeff Cā I have noticed my friends appear unable to take responsibility for their own health and run for quick-fix pill at the slightest pain. No wonder their children are ādoctoredā to death, so to speak. The drs are more than happy to oblige.
Thanks for the info on Lauren Boebert. I knew Jeffās research skills would find it, if it was out there. My nieceās college roommate at Johnās Hopkins just collapsed in the shower and managed to crawl into the hallway where my niece discovered her having a seizure. She died. A brilliant young biomedical engineer. My niece is traumatized. At the same time my young son has a classmate whoās father just died suddenly while watching the ncaa basketball tournament.
That's awful. That our young people should have to deal with this. When I was young, decades ago, death was for the elderly or if a young person - a fatal car accident. This scamdemic robbed so much joy from our young people. š®āšØ
Jeff C. Is correct. At this point , when a healthy person suddenly dies, it is fair game to ask the mRNA status of that person. We are way beyond medical coincidences.
Former coworker, retired Navy officer and JAG, retired after another 20+ years of DoD civilian service in Nov 2023. Just heard he was diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumor - allegedly caught after his 2nd retirement out of the blue - and is in hospice already. Only 65 yo. Unclear right now if he had the shots but DoD was constantly on us and threatening dismissal if we didn't comply.
Thousands of us did not comply, BTW. FJB. How many more will die too soon because of his evilness?
A 52 year old father in our community went in on Friday for kidneys stones. That's when they discovered stage 4 pancreatic cancer. He died the following Monday. When will people wake up?
Same here. š¤¦š¼āāļø They donāt wanna look at the actual data talking about above average deaths or causes of such. Itās part of their denial still. Itās really frustrating when people refuse to see whatās right in front of them. Or when they say āthe vax isnāt responsible for every deathā. Ummm. Ok.
That's what I don't understand... A lot of millennials I know will make sure there is no fluoride in their toothpaste or aluminum in their deodorant... But when it came to Covid, they all said "I don't want to catch it!" and they didn't bother researching what was in the shots.
Yes I know those types too, middle age women who are so extremely worried and careful about everything you mentioned except they inject Botox into their faces and gladly take the vax!
The only thing that helps them to realize is the āexcessive deathā percentage and of course no media is talking about that. And the data is impossible to access. Probably even being deleted as we speak. Even if excessive death is up 14 percent, thatās not high enough to sound major alarm for normies. It would have to get so high itās effecting letās say five out of ten family members perhaps. Iām at 1 out of 10 actual family members who have died since taking the vaccine, although 3 have gone down hill quite rapidly.
Yes, I wonder about those too. Case in point, my SIL died with a hastened case of Lewie Body dementia. Even though she was 81 at the time, she had been a little dynamo up until the last year of her lifeā¦after the vax she went downhill fast. The other factor which made me suspect the vax was the extreme longevity gene which ran in her family, several of her siblings were very active well into their 90ās, 2 brothers lived to the age of 100, one of whom is still sharp as a tack.
I was thrown off by the sarcasm too. It takes me back to the day I was a waitress at age 16 at golden coral and an old man said his steak was terrible. I didnāt know if he was being sarcastic or not because 95 percent of the customers think itās funny to say their meal is Terrible, when you ask how was everything? They wait for my reaction and then laugh and say no everything was great. This is VERY annoying, but I was young and maybe thatās why or maybe itās this particular restaurant clientele. Anyway Iāve never been able to embrace sarcasm since the man yelled at me that his steak really was terrible!
Youāre right. If I had posted my loved ones friends had died and someone made a sarcastic remark, Iād lose some respect for them. Death shouldnāt be taken lightly. Others are joking with her about her sarcasm. I personally think itās in poor taste, but thatās just me.
Friend of friend - age 59 - recently passed away on couch after walking the dog (and getting a run in the previous evening.) The new code phrase is "passed away peacefully at home. "
And I should add that it was so "peaceful" that he apparently wasn't able to call out to his wife for help who was upstairs in their home sending out birthday wishes to friend's wife on Fakebook. Cannot make this stuff up.
Blew my mind too until I listened to the Dr. Nehls podcast I posted here yesterday. Their brains are broken, and go apeshit when confronted with anyone who tries to make them think , or debate. At least it will stop me from even trying to reach them anymore and let them devolve in peace. Consequences.
I think for them to be curious they would have to be willing to face the potential for sudden passing of themselves and their children, grandchildren etc. And the safe and effective mantra has been very strong. So the awakening is very slow but as Jeff says drip by drip.
Agree thanks. However - it seemed Jeff was saying she was jabbed because she said they vaccinate. I did not feel you could draw that conclusion at all.
It would be great if she would clarify her jab status. It shouldn't be that big of a deal, based on the insistence just a few short years ago that so many entities required knowing everyone's status to do life in so many settings.
She should absolutely reveal the truth about her jab status. Seems she is more interested in staying on Trumpās good side and that would potentially cause problems for him since he is so proud of his vaccines.
Lisa, exactly - they've had vaccinations *in the past,* she said, but never addressed this one. I've had tons in the past, too, but not this one, and likely no more, ever.
āFear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God.

We have all these Republicans saying we'll lose the election because of our stubborn insistence on fighting abortion. Yet, the Democrats are the party that literally forces it's members to support the killing of human life.
If Republicans lose because we stand for the morality of human life, I say let us lose.
Only God will be able to bring us back from that anyway.
My beloved former boss said repeatedly, "when you're right , you fight." No compromise. And the only battle he ever lost was the last one, when the entire international division was eliminated and transferred to Switzerland. I have told people who vilify conservative politicians for not compromising and "getting things done", when is the last time you ever saw a Democratic politician compromise. ? I'll wait.
I really think it's as simple as laying out what the Dems' abortion support actually looks like, how extreme it actually is. Like, the most extreme in the world. Far more extreme even than Europe, which has 12-16 weeks in just about every country. But the Dems insist on literal infanticide, the murder-for-convenience of an 8 or 9 month old fully developed child.
It's absolutely bizarre to me that Republicans and conservatives don't take this angle more often and just call out the complete lunacy of the current Dem party platform. One step at a time. Win at that level and then push for the next. When you're trying to win a war, you don't try to overtake the whole country at once.
I agree. I think there are still a lot of old school Democrats who vote Democrat because they always have and honestly have no idea what the party truly stands for now.
Totally. The majority of them also don't buy the woke/DEI thing either. They just vote (D) b/c they always voted (D) and haven't even looked at what the party's platform is since about 2002.
It always makes me laugh and roll my eyes when Europeans wring their hands about Republicans wanting more abortion restrictions and donāt even realize how extreme some states here are compared to them š They just parrot the media without being informed about what is actually happening.
Starting last year, I have refused to rip up the speedwell and rockcress-which begin to bloom in January= (and I saw a honeybee on them Jan. 15)-or the deadnettle blooming in mid-March--until lots of other flowers are around. I treasure my little buzzy friends. SE Pa, zone 7a.
I love to garden anyway & it is ALWAYS w/ an eye to attracting š , š¦ & hummers. I can sit in the garden for hours just watching them all. The chem trails are trying to kill everything
Iām going to research what kinds of flowers bees are especially attracted to. A few years ago I had one that I thought was catnip, the bees loved it!
Lucky! Firstenberg, in his book Invisible Rainbow, chronicles studies of erratic self harming behavior of bee populations when near cell phones, towers and other EMF sourcesāwhich may account for the drastic decline in US and European populations.
Our front yard is a sea of dandelions and small purple flowers that won't get mowed until May. Across the road is a nightly-watered sea of green that's chem-bombed every month. I can only imagine the owners frustration at our "weed" yard.
Same here, although the mustard weed was getting out of hand so my husband mowed yesterday. We live in the country and weāre on a well so the front yard gets watered when God waters it. The purple flowered weeds we have now we call Henbit, it causes lots of allergies, but the chemicals to get rid of it are probably worse for your in the long run.
I would love to live in the country, but my husband is not inclined that way. We do have hens and I'm raising 12 chicks right now, so that's as close to country as I get. The girls love dandelion leaves.
Although we have lots of deer that devour everything, today we are attempting to plant our first pollinator garden with ā deer resistant ā flowers.
As soon as you think you have enough food for all of the caterpillars- suddenly all the milk weed is bare and you have to take an emergency trip to get more.
The main active ingredient of Roundup is the isopropylamine salt of glyphosate. Another ingredient of Roundup is the surfactant POEA (polyethoxylated tallow amine).
Monsanto also produced seeds which grow into plants genetically engineered to be tolerant to glyphosate, which are known as Roundup Ready crops. The genes contained in these seeds are patented. Such crops allow farmers to use glyphosate as a post-emergence herbicide against most broadleaf and cereal weeds.
The health impacts of the product as well as its effects on the environment have been at the center of substantial legal and scientific controversies. In June 2020, Bayer agreed to pay $9.6 billion to settle tens of thousands of claims, mostly alleging that glyphosate-based Roundup had caused cancer.-wikipedia
Roundup is also used as a desiccant just before harvest of corn, soy and wheat crops to insure uniformity in the plants. You are eating it, friends! Those three crops are in everything we eat and every animal we eat (unless you are eating 100% pastured animals).
Yesterday, someone sent me a couple of emails about paraquat, another highly toxic herbicide that the EPA banned from golf courses, but still allows on crops. :(
Check out https://wildpastures.com/reserve . They use only pasture raised animals without antibiotics, GMO etc. I have been purchasing Wild Pastures for almost a year and have been very happy with the quality. The chicken is amazing!
Some days I think we are dealing with metaphysical evil,some days the Anti-Christ (as distributed social engineering not necessarily only a person), and some days I think it is a simulation, with "easter eggs" hidden to clue us in. The head of Monsanto in Australia is (or was) named "Adam Blight" The Harvard associated doctor persecuting Dr. Meryl Nass is named "Faust" and that list goes on and on. "Blight?" "Adam?" Can that be a coincidence?
My small business handles calls for state run insurance and I can't even begin to mention how many strokes, heart attacks, blood clots, and died suddenly calls I deal with since the experimental gene therapy began. And most of the calls are all people under the age of 45. I even spoke with a 23 year old last week who had a massive heart attack while doing martial arts. All of the people I speak with are vaxxed to the brim. But... that's all a conspiracy theory right? The runner up to the above calls: Autism. It's unreal what's being done to the people and yet they all still seem to believe in the cult of the medics.
I hate it when people say donāt build a wall or put up fences because theyāll just go over/under or cut the fence. To me thatās like saying, donāt put a lock on your door because someone will just pick the lock or break down the door. The point is we shouldnāt make it easy for them and I like the added benefit of being able to charge them for destroying property.
IMO, softness on crime is the root cause of all the wrongs we see, including "wokeness." Our government has spent the last 60+ years siding with criminals, deviants, and the mentally ill instead of their victims. We are now about as far left on crime as a nation can get. To the point of legalized infanticide in some states.
Exactly. Where are the years and years of appeals for the babies?
Yet, idiotic Pro-Lifers in the Catholic Church caved to the baby killers senseless criticism that they were hypocrites because they didnāt oppose the death penalty. Caved!
They are using cute baby pictures to raise pro-life money to include abolishing the death penalty.
Let them use mugshots of the murderers to do their fundraising!
Sometimes it feels like the Pro-life movement has become like the Cancer industry. Is it too profitable to end?
Horrible thought. I do know wonderful, selfless people in the movement.
I was a kid raised in the 60's & 70's and for many of my young years, I was very tomboy-ish. I loved bike racing, climbing trees, hot-dogging on my ski's, playing king of the hill from snowbanks, playing sports, etc. Not once do I remember thinking I wanted to change my biological sex. In fact, I didn't even know there was such a thing and the reason I didn't know there was such a thing is because it wasn't shoved in my face from every possible direction (tv shows, teachers, friends, etc). No one can convince me that somehow, practically overnight, so many kids are now wanting to lop off body parts, is now considered normal. We have a generation of many PARENTS who are ignorant, base their decisions on "feelings", want to be their kid's "friend", and have allowed their kids to be exposed to way more than they're capable of understanding. In 10-20 years, we'll be hearing about all the regret and human misery this trans thing will cause.
Agree about the future regrets. I had an older brother and so in order to keep up with him I climbed trees and played with frogs and snakes (that actually came in handy last night when I had to remove a small snake from my basement š). I never liked dolls and I liked playing āboyā stuff but never thought I was a boy or wanted to be one. Itās just weird to me how some parents now immediately jump to transgender as soon as they see their child doing non stereotypical things.
The thing is, many boys & girls have behaved non-stereotypically since the beginning of time. Some more than others but it's not new. There's something else going on these days and the only thing I can think of is a huge increase of people (including parents) who are either ignorant, incredibly self absorbed, spiritually void, or possibly, a combination of all three.
Oh exactly! The difference is in how people are reacting to this phenomenon which has always happened. I think Jeff Cās comment about outsourcing parenting to āexpertsā has a lot to do with it, as do social pressures and virtue signaling, especially in certain circles.
There will be a lot of suicides I suspect. That is the goal I believe of Klausā woke cultural experiment. Depopulation. Make it so the kids canāt reproduce or simply erase them.
It won't take that long! Many regrets have been censored! I think Bruce Jenner might have a few. Dressing, like a lady. takes work and walking on high heels can be painful. But, none of my business.
I was a HUGE tomboy growing up- I had two brothers and all of the neighborhood kids were boys. I grew out of it starting at age 14, and thankfully no one brainwashed me into anything when I was young.
I went through a horrible puberty. Grew 5 inches and went from a girl to a woman in 6 months. Needless to say I was a hot mess. Thank goodness my grandmother said I was a caterpillar coming out of my cocoon on my way to becoming a butterfly š¦. No need for hormones or gender bending. Thanks to my grandmother for her unconditional love and wisdom. ā¤ļø
Too late for my grandkid. The parents were basically threatened by the malign doctors and brain quacks ruled by Satan. God help this child. šš»

Sometimes it takes years, but never give up on praying.
There are some truly misguided and/or corrupt/evil doctors pushing this trans kid stuff:

So sorry
at least dressing is better than puberty blockers and body mutilation. Hopefully one day he will wake up

The last PITT Substack had a great article with maybe some good references
Title was : They pushed me into this ideology and tried to keep me there forever
https://www.pittparents.com/p/they-pushed-me-into-this-ideology?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=374402&post_id=142629393&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=j5qou&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email
I am forbidden any questioning of this plus vaxing. live 1000 miles away. I donāt know things happen until itās over as we are not consulted. Ever. The whole thing started right at lockdown. So we didnāt even see them for months and months. All drugged up with one mutilation at 18. He was on the spectrum before this. How dare these deranged monsters encourage this in a mentally hurt CHILD. They held the suicide issue over parents heads. This child does not seem happy plus I fear for him as he heads to a large blu state university in the fall. One that Iām sure will require even more vaccinations. This trans issue alone propelled me out of the demoRAT cult. I believe the HPV vax damaged him. I thought we raised a sensible daughter so I try not to think about it much and pray accordingly. Thanks for your reply.
My daughter is 11 and is on the autism spectrum. We wonāt let her near public schools for this reason. She is very easily influenced, and even though she loves Jesus, I could see her jumping on that bandwagon in a minute under the right (or wrong) circumstances. Homeschool your kids if you can.
Kudos to you for protecting your daughter like that!!! Homeschooling would be more difficult with this circumstance. I know because we have an adult child with intellectual disabilities. She did public school but if it were nowā¦.i would never leave her in the system. I would move mountains to homeschool her now. This pales in comparison, but we never told our kids Santa was real. We always told them the truth about all that. The teachers of her class back then had her convinced Santa is real. To this day she tells us heās real when we tell her heās fake. š Now, we are still friends and chat with this particular teacher to this day. But I still say the programming is real even if this is a minor issue.
maybe tell her that yes, he is real. He is called Saint Nicholas, a Bishop who lived 270 to 343, and who loved and protected children and gave them presents
Very sad. I am glad my boys were nowhere near this crap via school and already aged out when it started. If you subscribe to PITT there are many stories (some a lot of sad ones) that talk about kiddos on the spectrum thinking they are born wrong.
Prayers for you all!
Iām so saddened by your experience and that of your grandchild š¢ Praying for God's intervention to save this poor child.
The trans groomers are targeting children on the spectrum. Pure evil!
Thank you for that quick, interesting read. I am delighted that at the end she says that she WAS one of them (gender-dysphoric) people.
Parents need to read this.

Amen. Prayers for Divine Intervention. š

I speak Jesus over your grandchild right now.

Prayers!!
Dr. Andrew Wakefield said years ago, that children were experiencing 'gender dysphoria' due to being over vaccinated. The heavy metals etc. in the vaccines affect hormones & testosterone levels. Prayers for your grandchild ...
Thank youšš». I believe that. I wonder if some of this is associated with the HPV vax. My grandkid changed significantly after that one was probably given. Iām sure. I
Thatās so sad .
Thank God for the wisdom of older, humble people from an earlier generation. Please don't answer if it's too personal, but I'm curious where your parents were during all of this. Also curious if your grandmother was of deep faith. I didn't have extended family where I grew up (grandparents were thousands of miles away) but found wisdom in an AA group that helped get me straightened out. God bless those people who help out mixed-up kids when the parent's aren't up to the task.
My grandparents were of deep faith. My parents divorced in 1969. We moved back to my mom's parent's home in Lancaster County PA. Thru my grandparents I was blessed to get a great foundation of love, faith and family. ā¤ļøāļø
Praise God!
Even one good responsible adult, who cares can make such a difference in a childās life.
Grannyās are smart.
I went from a little boy to an adult in twelve months. Grew 13 inches from 4ā11ā to 6ā. Between my 12th and 13th birthdays. Whew! Didnāt top out at 6ā5 until I got out of the army at age 24.
Wow - serious question - was that painful growing so fast in a short period? I wouldn't know - I only made it to 5' 2" and now holding steady at 5' 1 1/2"....lol
It's painful. I still remember the leg craps during my growth spurt which was nothing compared to his. Wow!
Ditto. Hot Epsom salt baths before school every morning. Grew 11 inches between end of 5th and beginning of 7th grade. Tallest person in my class (except for 1 boy) in 6th/7th grades. Could sprint faster, too, than the boys! šš¤£ By 8th grade they had caught up. I still preferred my dogs, cats, and horses (and books!) to boys, though, until Mr. the Knife came along. He is one of the GREAT ones!!
Mrs. "the Knife"
Wow!
My son was similar. In 7th grade he started running cross country and track. Which required expensive shoes for practices and meets. He grew 3 shoe sizes in one year - we kept the local running shoe store in business, lol. The next year, I like to say, after he grew his 'platform' (feet) the rest of his body caught up - he grew 9 inches. So we went from buying shoes all the time to buying jeans/pants. Slowed down in HS and only grew 3 more inches in HS and topped out at 6'2" Funny as my daughter followed a more typical growth trajectory and is only 5'6", same as me , and my hubby is only 5'10". But his dad was 6'2" and my dad had 2 brothers over 6' tall so there were some tall genes in the background.
I grew 9 inches in one summer. Wasnāt recognized when I went back to school in the fall. My knees were killing me and as a bonus I got stretch marks. Lol
Such Wisdom and Love ā¤ļø your grandmother had . šš¦
I knew Stanley Bieber personally and also know his Surgical Nurse. She said half of the ADULT sex changes regretted they ever did it and were suicidal.
GOD HELP THE CHILDREN!
Now that's what I call a Growth Spurt! Hahahaha
Same! I spent most of my time during the summer and after school at my grandparentsā house, and the only other girl my age in the neighborhood was just as big a tomboy. I was the best tree-climber in the group. We were always in the woods, building forts, having mud-pie wars, etc. On the flip side, I got to teach the cutest boy in the neighborhood how to crochet. š„° But I never ever thought I might BE a boy.
Memories, Deb! I, too, climbed trees, built forts in the desert to play āwarā w/ the neighborhood boys, tubed the canal & hunted up scorpions & rattlers for fun. Didnāt come home til Mom rang the cowbell for dinner. You could hear it from everywhere š
My mom yodeled š³ the whole West end of town knew who.
My aunt used her husband's elk whistle. He was a hunter in Montana.
Thatās hilarious! I thought the cowbell was embarrassing š³š¤Ŗ
Brass "ship's" bell, or a reasonable facsimile, mounted outside the back door at our house. The whole neighborhood knew it was roundup time/dinnertime at our place. A little like conditioning (ref Pavlov's dogs) and did engender some degree of embarrassment. For a while, in emulation, a parent in another home tried a fog horn can. It didn't last. Never knew if it was because the kids rebelled loudly enough or replacing the cans wasn't worth the $ or headache. Ah those halcyon dayz.
š
I grew up in the āWild Westā, hence the cowbell; did you grow up on a coast where a brass ship bell would be ānormalā?
Not coastal. My grandfather spent his working life at sea. Little influences in our home life; the bell; the paintings of the sea and of boats; hand carved sail boats from 2x4s with a cardboard sail on a dowel rod and a string attached to a screw eye above the rudder so the boat could be pulled back and not just sail off into unretrievability...
Lol thatās awesome šš
Maybe part of our current problem is that as kids our free time was unscheduled (our parents stayed out of it and told us to āgo outside and playā) but today everything is scheduled. Parents micromanage and overthink EVERYTHING-including why girls might like climbing trees.š¤ They push kids into growing up way too soon. Itās okay if your teenager isnāt interested in the opposite sex. Thereās time for that later. Parents need to just let kids be kids.
Agree! There are many reasons for that sadly: unsafe neighborhoods (kidnapping, sexual predators), Parents working, (I think it is now illegal for children to be on their own) and finally (I read this years ago) stay at home mothers having to prove to sole provider husbands that their time home is constructive andcthat they are not lazy.
Oh there were all of those things back then too. We just didn't have 24/7 cable news and social media pimping non stop fear. There is a fine line between 'keeping kids safe' and instilling a fear of every dang thing into kids' heads about both real and ill-perceived risks. My sister lost a friend to a climbing accident in elementary school. A girl about my age (~10) at the time was kidnapped and killed walking home from a neighborhood pool. We knew about these things and yet our parents told us 'be careful' and still sent us out the doors. Hubby and I struggled mightily with all this when our kids were growing up -trying to find a middle ground between 'free range' and 'helicopter'. It's not easy, but do believe learning about and taking small risks builds confidence in kids and too many today are robbed of those opportunities as they spend more time with screens than the wider world around them. All in the name of 'safety' while we read stats of the mental health crises in school age kids. Sometimes you just have to let them go and pray.
What you say about letting kids take small (but informed) risks and growing up psychologically stronger - applies equally to developing natural immunity to diseases. We 70-somethings played in mud puddles, dirt, storm sewers - we even shared THE SAME POP BOTTTLE!! - and thus we have avoided many of the diseases-du-jour now contracted by kids who are bathed in antibiotic soaps daily.
Yes, forgot about that. Our neighborhood had manhole covers you could lift up and crawl down into the storm sewers that then led to the creek we played in. They way they are constructed in our neighborhood, there are no manhole covers for access, so at least didn't have my kids getting as filthy as we did, but my daughter did like mud, and tree climbing. And wearing dresses & fingernail polish. She was a tomboy in pink, lol.
And it takes wise, rational parents to overcome the current helicopter parenting trend. It was much easier in the 80ās to raise kids in a free range way. Pretty much everyone was doing it, the only organized play was pretty much little league.
It was not all that safe in the 80s. I grew up free as a bird in the 60s.
It was never all that safe. We are just more informed than my parents were and certainly more than our grandparents were.
It depends on the state, different states have different regulations and criteria for kids to be on their own. But you also have to be aware of your community values and know if there are nanny state enthusiast busybodies out there ready to turn you into CPS š
Yes!!!!!
I liked climbing trees almost from the get-go. I didn't like wearing dresses and having to stay neat and tidy, sitting demurely while the boys got to rough house on the floor. I preferred being in the barn and being with all the critters: dogs, cats, horses, goats, sheep. Favorite activity: riding my horse bareback with just a halter on her, playing the (wo)Man from Snowy River at a dead gallop jumping fallen logs, creeks, whatever. Some of the best days of my life! Had a few spills along the way; my mother got to the point of banning riding horses on holidays after having to spend all of Thanksgiving day in the ER! šš¤£ - in fact, on the couch with a heating pad as I type this, as an old injury from a fall has been acting up this week.
The point is, during most of my growing up years, I liked to be rough and tumble, competing against the boys, and being perfectly happy in my jeans and tees and cowboy boots. Eventually, I did do the makeup, curling iron, and high heels thing. I wore a dress to prom. And our wedding. And to Easter services last Sunday! š
I think the "tomboy" phase actually helped me during tough times.
Mrs. "the Knife"
we visited my mother on the island. I told my kids (42 and 38 now, then pre teens) to be careful of wasps and snakes. Nothing like that now, especially with the tablets etc.
Simple yet very wise words! šÆ
Aw Deb we grew up about the same .. I lived in a very remote place on the west coast with only siblings as playmates and one family down the road with kids our ages. We spent all our time trudging through the woods making really crappy bows and arrows from bent and sharpened saplings. One year I turned a large sand pile into a wonderland quarry for my tonka trucks. We had a creek and hunted crayfish and other creatures for hours on end. I road my horse at breakneck speed barebacj through the woods on poorly defined trails, we created games out of everything possible and never ran out of fun. I was neither girl nor boy and I remember the group of us (my brother and sister and I and our three neighbor friends) all being that way, no awareness of āgirl or boy thingsā ā¦ I wish my own kids had such an upbringing
I grew up with the best of both worlds - grandparents in the city and up north (as we call it in MI) during the summer and the farm/country life. So fun to be jumping in the lake one weekend and then visiting the farm and feeding the cows, pigs, chickens, duck - you never knew who would end up on the dining room table for the holidays...lol. My grandma's two questions I will never forget were "have you had your hug today" and "how do you know you don't like it until you try" - they resonate with me to this day. I was so blessed to have my grandparents growing up.
Where in āup Northā Michigan if you donāt mind sharing?
I canāt speak for FreeBird07 but we spent summers In Harrisville, MI and oh what fun! My grandpa built a small A-frame on Lake Huron and I lived in the water, caught frogs, rode bikes, petosky collected down to the lighthouse, etc. We still own it and split time between there and Boyne City. You?
Similar for me in S. Florida. Don't think I'd want my kids doing some of the things we did though, like catching baby gators to protect the "moat" around our fort.
I grew up very similarly. It was a great childhood ā¤ļø
This is probably why we tend to like the same commentsā¦ similar childhood.
Yes I am sure it has shaped our perspectives!
Same here from Nebraska
Same experience in small town Western Montana.
I still look at a tree and assess it for its climbing potential. š
I remember climbing to the top of a very tall tree and making it sway as far as I possibly could. Unfortunately, it was within eyeshot of my grandparentsā house and my grandmother nearly had a heart attack. š¤£ I donāt know how she survived me.
We had some really big willow trees in our back yard. I would climb up until the trunk was no thicker than my thumb and let the wind rock me. Good times.
My mom had twelve kids and never told me to stop. I think she had ulterior motives, being so worn out.
My best friend and I would climb a tree in her backyard as high as we could. It was a perfect tree for 2 as it had a fork. One for her and one for me.
Hilarious!! š¤£
And look how pretty and real and feminine you are!
Well, thank you!! I still love to do āboyā things, but Iām a little smarter about it now. But I certainly love being a āgirlā too!! š
I was still climbing trees at 16 and even got yelled at by my brother for it š I told him to mind his own business š
I was still climbing trees in my 50s. Not with regularity, but when the target was too good to pass up. I might be retired from it, -?- just don't think much about it these days. Started riding my bike during the scamdemic. Kid joy. Fantasizing about a long bike tour. Do I organize one - seniors only, a no hurry ride, ultimately a LOT of work so not sure on the balance of internal reward - join one, go solo...? Love that you put your bro in his place when he judged you. I've had to do that with an adult daughter if you can believe it; supposed to act my age.š Where did I go wrong?
Yeah I probably would be ready to climb one if I saw a good tree especially an apple tree š But there are few good climbing trees in my immediate area.
You should have told your daughter āyouāre only as old as you feel and I feel like Iām ten years oldā š¬ Good for you for still being up for a climb, and I love the bike ride idea, I say go for it!
š¤£ me too!!!
LOL so cute!
Same!
My brother and his friend used to rope me into playing "Army" and flag football. We built forts using rusty nails, rusty old hack saws and whatever wood pieces we found around our house. We were gone for hours. We also rode minibikes (WITHOUT helmets) and made these ridiculous bike jumps that we somehow managed to get over without killing ourselves. We were frequently grimy, hungry and thirsty. We had bikes and we could ride all day we knew freedom at a cellular level. We grew up in the 70s. No all-day TV watching, no cell phones, no social media. I know every era has its problems, but I truly wish my kids formative years were more like mine.
For my bunch it was go-karts ... 40 mph with my butt 3 inches off the road, no helmet, lousy brakes, twitchy steering, on county roads with cars whizzing by.
There lies the rubāā But I never ever thought I might Be a boy.ā That statement is the whole of the current motivation. We never thought it because we weren't force-fed that absurdity. In ten years, those who mutilated these kids will be viewed as the Josef Mengele of the American holocaust of our youth. Their payday is coming.
Same here, Deb. I grew up with older brother and male cousin. My fave past time was digging trenches in the back yard. With old kitchen cutlery my mom gave us. Nothing like keeping kids active by digging big trenches with a teaspoon! :)
Then I started a mud-pie bakery. Such great memories. Getting muddy in God's dirt helped me develop an amazing immune system! And to this day, gardening is my Zen. I pull weeds by hand and enjoy getting down and dirty in the mud.
My daughter had one brother and 7 male cousins. As the only girl out of 9, she had no choice but to be a tomboy! Shooting a BB gun was a matter of survival! š And thank God she did survive that growth stage and became an awesome woman, and mother of two girls.
LOL!! I still have the BB gun scars. Came close to getting my eye shot out, but now I just look at the scar with fond memories!
I was shot in the hind quarters many times with a BB gun.
šš hazards of youth!
Was it a Daisy Red Ryder BB gun?! šš¤£
Mrs. "the Knife"
LOL! Probably. It belonged to the Waide brothers. We were either playing cops & robbers or cowboys & indians. I donāt remember which one shot me, but I know they were BOTH in big trouble! š¤£š¤£š¤£
I guess I was, too. Climbing trees. Playing on the railroad tracks. Playing in construction zones. Iām still not a girly-girl, and Iām ok with that! I had 4 children and loved being a mom.
Iām loving š„° reading all about these Tomboys . I really enjoyed my childhood as a Tomboy. I think it helped me in being a mother of 3 sons .ššš
Same! Brings back really great memories. Tom Boys rule! ā„ļø
Indeed!! Same here ā¤ļø
Me too! Grew up with 3 brothers and had 3 sons. I am so glad I am a boy mom!
These stories are TOTALLY uplifting and bring tears to my eyes.
YEsS! I can see that Christine
Ditto and mom to 4 boys. Just told my youngest (soon to be 19) yesterday that I love being a mom to my 4 guys and loved playing with my boys...still do! We were at a park and watching a young dad with his little boy, and I mentioned to my son how I sure miss those days which led into talk of hoping for grands :)
I agree, I have two boys and while they arenāt the extreme physical risk taker types, they are still boys and I feel like I am at least not surprised or intimidated by them since I grew up with an older brother and several male cousins. I do sometimes wish I had also had a girl (because I wouldnāt trade my boys for anything so itād have to have been an additional child) because I was very close to my mom and am close to my sister too and I feel like there are just some things that women relate to differently. But I am sure God meant this for me for a reason ā¤ļø
Hi! Iām mom of five and never foresaw that for myself but I love it. Iām so good at being a homemaker, something I never would have wanted as a young person. These days Iām not girly girl but not too rough ā¦ somewhere in the middle. Iāve never tried to influence my kids and they have each chosen various versions of girl and boy ā¦ I have three girls and two boys. I am grateful the world has not dragged them off into the lgbtqdelusion. I feel for the parents of children who have bought into that world ā¦ my own observationsā¦ the more present the parents the less likely the children to fall prey.
Congratulations! Youāre a great mom.
Great observation. I think the parentsā guidance and support is key.
We used to play in the houses under construction alsoā¦until we were using a 4x4 as a balance beam for gymnastics and one of the neighbor girls fell and put her arm through a plate glass window. That all ended really fast and if any of the neighbors saw us anywhere near one of the new houses, weād get an earful.
Oh, yes!! Those were the best!
Ditto! Two older brothers and neighbors all boys. I didnāt have a girl friend until 4th grade when the boys told me I had cooties. lol. Still like men better than women. Much less complicated and no drama but I love being a woman and never felt like I was a boy. I never would have given up pretty shoes as a little girl to become a
boy even if I couldnāt climb trees in them. šš
Cooties. I love it!
One wonders - what actually is a "cootie" and how are they transmitted, treated? Or do they seem to resolve on their own around age 15-16 LOL!
Someone needs a cootie shot...
Cooties! I love it!!
Iām still a tomboy at age 60! When I was about 12, Iād wear my older brotherās clothes, including his boots. I havenāt worn a dress in decades and almost every day wear jeans, sweatshirts and work boots.
Oh me too! At 11, I had a popular boy at school tell me that the boys don't like me because I didn't "act like a girl". That sure threw me into an identity crisis, because if I can't be who I am, how can I be someone else? Fortunately, I grew out of that phase eventually and am now a beautiful, feminine mother of 3 and grandma of 8. Just be comfortable as who you were created, and tell anyone who doesn't like how you are to pound sand. We grow and evolve. Take care of your own proclivities.
āJust be comfortable as who you were created, and tell anyone who doesn't like how you are to pound sand.ā
ā¬ļø This!!
Itās funny though because the alphabet people keep saying others have to accept them as they are, when *they* donāt even accept themselves as they were made.
My sister was THE tomboy of the town. She could beat up the boys. I was not a tomboy like her but did my best to master tree-climbing, sandlot baseball, fishing, and crabbing. To this day, I am most comfy in jeans & a ponytail. My sister never once thought she was really a boy. She liked them too much, lol.
I too was a tomboy and had a treehouse and played with the boys in the neighborhood and girls too . But I grew out of it around puberty. I still like to hang with the guys š.
āWondering about life on the other side of the gender fenceā or any fence is called empathy and curiosity. Both are generally good things. Transitioning is wondering and wandering out of body. As weāve known for a long time, thatās a psychological problem.
I was a tomboy. All I wanted to do was play sports. I hung out with the boys. I liked boys. They were way easier to be around. They challenged and elevated my athleticism. I was still a girl.
I will probably be in trouble for saying this, but I prefer to work with men. For most of my working life, the problems in the workplace mostly came from the women, not the men. Of course, there are always exceptions to the rule, and the exception is usually a doozy!!
Mrs. "the Knife"
Same, honestly. I majored in chemical engineering and was almost always the only female in every meeting/project/everything - and I was just fine with that!
I had a crush on a tomboy girl in grade school. Unfortunately, she turned out, "not straight".
š¤£š
Yep, me too!
Same!!!
Same here! Two older brothers and I wanted to everything they did!
Me too! Just one older brother but I wanted to do what he did! Climb trees and all the rest!
šÆ
Just before this Newsletter hit my inbox I walked by a billboard about Sepsis (I live in Germany) - how to detect sepsis and a Link to a website about the topic. Apparently over a hundred thousand people a year die of it. And it seems to be on the rise. Must be caused by climate change or the far-right.
Yeah. That darn medical condition called climate change. Or what was once called "seasons." š
I just spent some time looking at pictures of chemtrails from all over the country. I watched a video of helicopters spraying. Helicopters doing it!!! So much for the -itās just from regular airplanes flying- crowd. š¤¦š¼āāļø
When I see the chemtrail planes overhead, I now, always pray imprecatory curses on the planes, pilots, the chemicals theyāre spraying and the entities/āpowers that beā who plan, finance, order & schedule these operations. May they lose ALL profits & gains from their evil deeds. May the designed effects of chemtrails all be turned back on them. In Jesus Name.
I like that prayer. I get weary of Christians thinking their prayers are to only be roses, rainbows and lollipops. Bless the evildoer Lord and help them see the err in their ways. I prefer Lord, please let them be caught in their criminal
Activities and face the consequences of what they have done to hurt innocent people. Let them be prosecuted for their evil deeds. Expose their criminal behavior and let those consequences then lead them to find YOU.
That seems more fitting for today than ever before.
People look at me like š«£ Iām gonna get hit with lightning. I donāt understand why we have become so soft and indirect in our prayers. I do know. Itās whatās been taught from the pulpits in America. A watered down version. Jesus is love. Jesus accepts everyone. Period. They stop there. How about Jesus is also just and righteous. We forget the difficult parts but love the lollipops and rainbows.
Sometimes I pray so fervently against those E vile so in soās I have to apologize and say of course I hope they meet Jesus and turn their power for good, but in my flesh I cry out for justice!
That's why I love praying the psalms.
Often times, getting caught in the pit that they have dug is the highest chance of someone seeing the error of their ways - so in the long run it can even be merciful.
Love this!
Iāve made a personal decision not to worry about it. No helicopters and nice blue skies in the rural area I live in. Plus, the Rapture is not happening on Monday. Iām chill. Cheers, Sunny.
Iām glad you arenāt worrying about it. Unfortunately where I am all I have to do is look up on any given day and see them everywhere. I also refuse to live in fear. I canāt control what the evil criminals do. It caught my eye because everyone was posting pics from what state they were in. Surreal to see all of those pics.
Btw. How do you know the rapture isnāt happening Monday? Just curious if you have insider information š
Any day they predict it will happen is a definite relax itās not that day. No one knows the day except the Father.
At least write your state reps. Get it banned where you live!
Iāve written to state reps. What I have found is that unless hundreds and thousands of others write tooā¦itās futile. They wonāt listen unless masses of people speak out. And even thatās no guarantee. They donāt care. They have whatever agenda they are involved with and that is above what constituents want.
Trying to get anybody to write anything to a representative is worse than pulling teeth. The people have been manipulated over the decades into knowing they donāt care so our attempts will fall on deaf ears. How many people do you personally know that have written even once to a representative? In my circleā¦ not one. And when I tell them I do or have they look at me like Iām crazy for even attempting to make change.
Thatās why I love when C&C puts out a call to action. Because more than one person will respond. Thatās how we might move the needle.
We should do that. Jeff could suggest one state at a time and we could work together to get it banned
TN banned it a few weeks ago. Jeff reported on it. Though surprisingly Florida is one of the most active with allowing these chemtrails. Maybe Jeff is aware & working on it behind the scenes. This is the first Spring Iāve noticed it in western WA. Iāll see the aircraft ( usually at least 2) crisscross the skies for hours. The trails then spread out over time & cloud up the sky with fake clouds. Ironic as we have plenty of real clouds, but you can definitely tell the difference. Take pictures, share as much as you can & look at Geoengineeringwatch .org for good information.
Yes. I knew TN has already been dealing with stopping it. Fl needs to get on board too!
Hi, Dena, this is the first year I have actually been looking for it - Western WA is cloudy so much of the year! - and one of the first nice days of spring they were out. It was a gorgeous day, perfect blue sky and by mid-afternoon it was all hazy. Makes me want to scream! Oh well, I can do that over on SimCom's 'Stack. šš¤£
Mrs. "the Knife"
Mrs . Knife, Since youāre in WA hereās a good substack to know about. When WA Legislature is in session Conservative Ladies of WA does a good job following, testifying & monitoring the bills. A good, non partisan grassroots org. CLW.org for website. https://open.substack.com/pub/conservativeladiesofamerica/p/is-seattle-headed-for-chop-20?r=nl3ud&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=post
I LOVE that idea!
Exactly right! Here's how I found out the same thing by almost by accident.
I had written an action report on bill purporting to give Virginia control over all Virginia streams (creeks, streams, rivers) and sent it out to Tea Parties and Tea Party people across Virginia. I testified about the bill in sub-committee and told the committee that it was really a Federal/State harmonization bill which put the Feds in charge. The committee chairman looked puzzled, looked around the room and asked some lobbyist/lawyer type, "Is he right?" And the guy said, "Yes." The bill was withdrawn by the sponsor of the bill. Afterwards, the sponsor came up kind of shaken and said, "I hope the people in my district don't think badly of me." I later found out that my email bill analysis had produced an avalanche of response to the delegate. And this is what got the bill scotched.
From this I learned that 1) in 'citizen' lobbying only numbers count. and 2) half or more of the time that elected officials have zero idea as to what may really be in a bill, and/or more importantly ... what the consequences of their enactments might be down the line. Also, most delegates, senators, representatives are pretty much dumb under-educated herd animals. Real thinking has to be organized and applied to the government bodies from outside. Finally, all elected officials care about is being re-elected. And if the opposition organized from without is overwhelming, the elected official will snap like a twigs.
If one is interested in results, one has to have a large group supporting. I saw the above confirmed time and again. We also see this with our C & C group. Not only do we multiply with Multipliers, we also multiply Jeff's clout. I guarantee you that the Florida elected officials know who C & C is.
Good for you in the pursuit of that bill! It is also a testament to a person getting it done without the masses. Rare. But can happen.
I learned a lot. You have to have numbers.
I like it daver.

Yes! I always think it's great when we receive the call to contact our legislators - or whatever entity (corporate or otherwise) needs to hear from a large number of people.
Iām impressed that Tennessee voted to stop it in their state. They also outlawed mRNA in their vegetables. I want that here. I hope Fl is not resting on its laurels....
Yes! Way to go TN! I am starting to be nervous about Florida and what DeSantis isnāt doing here in Florida. There is so much more like you already stated that needs to happen here.
Same! I laugh at manās audacity to think he can improve upon or modify Godās perfect creationāchemtrails and trans-humanism come to mind. Man is not that powerful. God reigns supreme. Forever.
Chemtrails, aka Stratospheric Aerosol Injection. I see it EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.
We have had rain, haze for months when historically there has NEVER been rain OR haze this time of year. Now, 2 or 3 days after I see the spraying..... haze....which also reduces photosynthesis. I see the checkerboard sky in movies, also. Even movies produced in Europe. It's ubiquitous!
āWe give You thanks, O Lord God Almighty,.....
The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come....
And should destroy those who destroy the earth.ā Rev 11:18
And, I don't worry about it either.
I DO, however, detox as best I can via NAC, glutathione and far infrared sauna.
They claim they want to block out the Sun for āclimate changeā temperature control. What itās also doing is blocking your availability to vitamin D and lowering your immune system.
From So Cal here. We have had rain 2 days a week for months and frequently the same 2 days each week. A lot of rain for us ..
So Cal is mostly desert. I don't recall Mother Nature Operating on a schedule.
They are certainly cloud seeding on a schedule.

Maybe thereās something in cow farts that causes sepsis. Just saying.š
You have to fart to let out the bad humors, otherwise you get sepsis. That's like science!
Please social distance when you do. Thank you. š·
When I go out to the dairy today Iāll survey the cows to ask if they are farting more or less.
Please, inquiring minds need this data! :) Tell Billy Boy Gates you did a study and in fact he's full of cowpie!
The cows at one herd said they were farting more but cows at the other dairy said they had reduced farts.
No fart=sepsis. Science.
It's often blamed on covid infection, but not often on vaccination (which they likely aren't allowed to study).
I just watched a video from a set of twins that are very popular online. One of them very nearly died from sepsis after successful gall bladder surgery.
"We both almost died...now what??" - https://youtu.be/nAQqN26nIk0?t=409
Wowā¦loved this video. These guys are just amazing.
Their wives are amazing too. Both pilots, I believe.
Check out the house with the roof top pool Mike (and family) built.
I'm not that familiar w/ Mark. Though I'm quite impressed after watching this video too.
Thank you, Frieda. I will check out the house. Do I just go to their site? This reminds me of how yesterday during that Taiwan earthquake the rooftop pool of a tall structure was spilling its contents down over the sides. Thx again.
Wow....speaking of gallbladder surgery, I just found the greatest site for getting rid of gallstones and KEEPING one's gallbladder:
https://drjewilliams.com/blog/effective-gallbladder-flush-ever/
Every now and again, I think about fasting. But I never get past the hungry part. lol. There is a stomach biome specialist, on the anti vax side. Sorry I don't have her info handy.
You could try skipping just one or two meals to start. I find it hard to do long fasts but often skip breakfast and/or lunch and just eat dinner (though I still have milk coffees... so slightly cheating). My understanding is that shorter fasts still have some of the benefits, while not being quite as hard on the willpower!
Yeah, I don't miss too many meals, that's for certain. Thanks for your suggestion TB.
I saw this old Swedish fellow. He says if he weighs too much on the scale, he fasts until the weight is off. Or in his own words, "Habits not will power" - https://youtu.be/GUiFOhft_4M
I missed that on the white board the first time.
Of course there's also Dr. Clark's amazing liver flush in her book (specific instructions), which can be downloaded as a pdf free of charge......(thanks to a C&C commenter):
https://drclarkstore.com/products/the-cure-for-all-diseases
I wonder if the website offers info on how to treat it - like the Marik protocol.
The website recommends to get all your vaccinations as a preventative measure - even mentioning the Covid Jabs for babies and children... Otherwise the recommendation is to call an ambulance. This isn't really aimed at medical professionals and in this country Doctors are usually gatekeepers and don't really want to discuss treatment options with patients. On the positive side they aren't pharma pushers in the same way US doctors are.
Just jab pushers š
Here is a link to the best information Iāve read about it.
https://covid19criticalcare.com/protocol/i-recover-post-vaccine-treatment/
Hospital Acquired Infections are a huge problem and have gotten worse since the mRNA jab has weakened the immune system of people who took it. Many people are going in for procedures and end up staying for weeks instead of days.
Agreed.
I was in the hospital once and when someone came in to change the I.V. I had to ask them to wash their hands. They huffed then walked to the sink and washed.
Iatrogenics in action!
Hope you know about Dr Paul marikās protocol for treating sepsis. Genius.
Www.thehighwire.com had a show on this last year sometime. A paper or two outlined a procedure using, I think a drip vitamin C concoction, that was very successful. Not fda approved of course becuz it bypassed big pharma. See if you can find it.

First comment from Nebraska! Hoping we can secure our electoral votes!
Our son lives in Nebraska. We love the state, and love visiting there - not only because our family is there, but because it feels like Mayberry, America - the true Heartland, huge cornfields and salt-of-the-earth folks.
Weāre praying that humble little Nebraska might play a big role in the direction of our nation. Having family there, we follow its politics pretty closely- we also celebrated when RINO Ben Sasse left the scene!
We are hoping to primary out Bacon and Fischer as well. Vote Frei and Weaver!
Go Torey!
Go NEBRASKA!!!
Praying for Nebraska for the win! š
Looking good.
Bongino explained / discussed this issue yesterdayā¦ very interesting!
āThey call it Obamahaā.
Soā¦ Nebraska ā¦. DO THE RIGHT THING!!
Just another RINO
Bacon is the WORST.
But bacon in food form makes everything better!!š„°
Iāll take a rino over a democrat at this point. We need a bigger majority to pass anything.
Forgive my ignorance, but how can an elected state rep just change parties in the middle of their term? Wasn't he elected by Democrats? Seems like they'd be pissed he's "changed teams". Can they recall him now?
So Nebraska has a unicameral (only one House and no senate). Our representatives are called senators and they actually do not run as republicans or democrats. You have to do the research to understand what their platforms are. But they donāt really advertise themselves as Dem or GOP. So as such, declaring heās switching parties doesnāt mean anything to his constituents. Additionally we already had a majority of conservatives.
Thank you for explaining that. I had no idea!
I thought it already happened and the governor signed it. No?
Good to hear good things from Neb as we lovingly call it - grew up there in a very conservative family w 6 siblings, sadly the ones still there are all on the left or leaning left full of injected poison, and here I am in CA as conservative as ever with no toxic injections.
Thatās so sad! Iām just outside of Omaha but surrounded by conservatives.
They voted it down somehow last nightš
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/nebraska-legislators-buck-trump-blocking-electoral-college-vote-change-rcna146321
There is a possibility that it will come up for another vote before the legislative session ends . Perhaps Nebraska Republicans need to get louder ?
It is ridiculous that Omaha decides the fate of the entire state when it consistently votes red .
Welcome to almost every state in the union.
Obamaha I think itās calledš
Omaha votes Red? Or did you mean Blue?
I think "it" means the State in her sentence.
Blue and red. They call district 2 a purple district.
Portland is the same
At least Oregon doesnāt split electoral votes. Itās makes you wonder if Maine & Nebraska electoral policies are Constitutionally sound. What if every state did this ? This would abolish the very purpose of the electoral college.
Just heardš”š”

I married a tomboy 39 years ago. Best decision I ever made. Guys, marry them if you get the chance. They're low maintenance. š¤£š¤£š¤£
I told my son to avoid libbies and normies. They will emasculate you and any sons you may have and screw up your entire family.
I am talking to my boys about finding women of God (WOGs) who will keep their homes and raise up their children. As time goes on, WOGs are becoming a rare commodityā¦ most young women are taught to pursue their own careers and goals without suffering the impairment of husbands and children. Very sad! I have three teenage daughters and they have all said they do not want to be mothers but for different reasons. I am standing by if they ever want to talk about the blessed path set aside for women by God Himself. They just need themselves some good MOGs š
I knew so many unhappy professional women who only realized too late what was really important in life. I pray your daughters do before it's too late.
One professional woman who was my co-worker remarked to me a long time ago that the women's Lib movement was the worst thing that ever happened to women.
Yes, and I believe it was intentional.....population reduction.
Notice how movies post-1950's show families with only one child?
It was intentional. Promoted by the Rothschild's Tavistock Institute. .1. To divide the family unit. 2. Get little children in institutional day care sooner and 3. To get more tax money from working women.
My Daughter in law has a very high paying VP position and appears to have no interest in having children. I donāt ask as sheās not my daughter. But Iām actually glad because because she took two Moderna shots. And influenced my son too. He took 1 J&J. So far so good? But Iām too old to raise grandkids if theyāre going to die early.
My husband's 2 60 yr old sisters are childless and a bit of a hot mess. I nudged my daughter and said "Look at your future. Doesn't look good does it?" She saw it clearly.
I think my girls will change their minds too ā¦ one has a very serious boyfriend and she is suddenly silent in the subject š ā¦ my oldest is fiercely āgirl powerā but she sees her sister so happy with her very solid boyfriend and the poor thing wants that too. My third girl is the toughest case, surrounded by gender consisting at her school and has possibly considered such things herself but we talk about this extensively. She knows I will always love her but that there are certain things I do NOT want for my children. I pray for all my children, they are in Gods good hands.
Such a happy outcome for your sister, hooray!!!
Great advice!
Oh yes, we definitely are! My man doesnāt have to move makeup out of the way in the bathroom, thatās for sure š
Amen! I keep mascara in my handbag and whip it out in the car for a quick wanding but only under duress. My daughters though ā¦ they spend hundreds on makeup each year and hours in front of the mirror ā¦ I went through that too as a young person but escaped! WHEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Belle, I borrowed some of my sister's mascara for a short while in 8th grade, but I kept rubbing my eyes when they itched (maybe it was the mascara?). Anyway, I decided I'd much rather rub an itch than not, and that was the end of my experience with makeup.
Never thought of it that way--but husband doesn't have to pay for nail salon or beauty salon or expensive purses.
I like the handbags but canāt be bothered with nails or hair ā¦ my husband knows he is blessed
I remind my husband sometimes that he could have married a boring woman. I laugh at my joke, he usually just gives me an eye roll. š
So true. One time my husband quipped that I was his trophy wife. I told him that would require a lot more money because I rarely use make up or worry about fancy clothes. Still holding space as the embodiment of divine feminine energy even without the superficial bells and whistles.
ššš
This is great. Iām a tomboy who loves being female and dressing up on occasionā¦ but donāt get crazy, and I raised my one girl the same (I also have 2 boys). Sheās pregnant with our first grandbaby now and when it was time to find out the gender she was super freaked out, like āmom, what am I going to do if itās a girl?ā I told her she would probably raise a tomboy like I did. Itās a boy.
Also, she met her husband playing intramurals in collegeā¦ played on ELEVEN teams per year and won the table tennis championship once. Sheās the best. This was Oklahoma state, btw.
Congrats! She sounds like quite the woman. š
Iāve heard other men say former tomboys become some of the best wives
For the tomboys: reading about your childhood antics makes me think you grew up as lean machines, no threat of diabetes or other obesity related conditions. Standing āOā for your parents and sibs who nutured that active life.
I am one and my husband concurs!
Yes we are!
Iām kind of in the middle, I love clothes and makeup but never get my nails done or buy lots of shoes and purses. I do buy lots of running shoes though š I am not scared of snakes or spiders and not afraid to unclog a toilet either. So hopefully thatās a good balance lol š
I think Iām the only woman on my block that actually gets down on her knees and digs around in the dirt doing landscaping. Everyone else seems to go to Zumba classes, or water aerobics (or whatever they call it today). They walk by and marvel at the fact that we do it ourselves. In fact, their dog walks have become more frequent so they can see the progress! Hubs and I have saved thousands of dollars in landscaping labor by DOING IT OURSELVES. It isnāt easy, your nails get ruined, you sweat profusely, your hair ā¦ well.
Thatās awesome! I canāt say I enjoy gardening much though I like the results š I always hated my frequent childhood chore of pulling weeds so maybe thatās part of it. I get my outdoor time by running roads or trails. I always admire people who are handy and good at gardening or diy projects. I am not naturally good at any of that and donāt have the patience to learn right now. I do like growing herbs but theyāre pretty easy.
You sound great! I am raising up my five yo fear no critter. We look at them, we give them drops of water then put them outside unless it is too cold. I revive house centipedes that try to drown in the bath ā¦ I am a VERY rare woman. Look up a photo of house centipede š±. But they are very cool creatures, a crowded circle of legs and two sets of antenatae one pair back one pair front so that you have no idea what the āheadā is ā¦ they are apex predators of the buggy world and live long solitary lives. I let them go outside but if itās winter o put them in the basement
I love that! My two boys are more skittish about critters than I am š I guess I didnāt raise them right lol š¤Ŗ I am not a huge fan of insects but will try to take daddy long legs or stink bugs or maybe the odd centipede or millipede outside rather than kill them. I am a little paranoid about brown recluses since I didnāt grow up in an area where they are common and so if Iām not sure of what a spider is and it is in my living space, I kill it. I am fine with anything outside but donāt really like them in my living space š
I totally get that! Balance is key. My overall essence and vibe is ultra feminine but that does not mean I waste money on material abundance and I will also get my hands dirty. I do love a new fresh cushy running shoe. Brooks are my favorite! Whatās yours?! How much do you run?
Yes I do like balance! š We sound very similar!
My favorite shoes are currently Topo Cyclones. I used to be a die hard for the Altra Escalantes before they changed them š Itās hard for me to find good shoes because I donāt have wide feet but my toes like to splay, probably due to running around barefoot as a kid so much. So I canāt wear wide sizes but need a wider toe box. It took a while for me to realize this when I kept having issues with so many brands of running shoes.
I run a lot š¤Ŗš At least compared to most people I know who are ānormalā runners (not elite or semi elite). 40-60 miles per week usually.
Another runner (not as many miles per week) with a need for wide toe box runners - I also enjoyed a few seasons of Altraās but now have custom orthotics with Hokaās. Iāll have to check out the Topo Cyclones.
Topo has several models all with wide toe boxes, I would like to also try the Phantoms for my easy run days. I have also tried the Specter and the Magnifly 4 but like the Cyclone a lot better personally. Itās hard because few shoe stores carry Topos š So you canāt really try them on very easily. Topo has a good return policy though from what Iāve seen. I think Fleet Feet has them online but not sure if you can get them in store. REI has a few models but not all.
Thanks Running, I just checked and my local running shoe store carries some Topos so I will be able to check out size and fit! They look similar to Altraās.
Oh awesome! I hope you find something that works for you!
I like how you unashamedly embrace who you are, and your husband does too!
Absolutely! I didn't mean to sound like I was knocking higher maintenance women. If my wife, God forbid, should ever get ill and require non stop maintenance I would be there for every second of it. I was more just kidding around. Different strokes for different folks, and I'm glad you found your perfect match. š
The best thing Rep. Boebert could do at this point is to be vocal, and loud, and ask the tough question.
Did the covid DeathVax cause my blood clot?
It's time for them to step up. Represent your constituents who've been vax damaged, like yourself!
Or will she refuse to offer a hint of criticism?
Excactly. THIS is the test. Whatever "rare condition", the jab likely catalyzed the clot. Step up, Boebert.
Difficult to understand what prevents these people FROM stepping up and merely saying "Well, I have taken 'x' number of jabs" - why are they so afraid to link illness, or even SUGGEST a possible link, to the ... " vaccine " (HATE to even call this thing a "vaccine").
Especially Lauren, she of all vax injured people should be using her voice to speak up. Thatās what she does, thatās who she is. Right now she may be in a state of overwhelm, denial or shock about her condition, and itās easier to focus her mind on getting re elected, clinging to what makes her feel strong and powerful, rather than facing the truth that she made a big mistake. This lady has been through a lot the last few years, and I pray for her.
I echo āconstituentsā! The switch in Nebraska, due to not towing the PARTY line, is monumental. Both parties have hijacked who the elected officials are obligated to represent. Moving away from extolling your local view to that of a national view dismisses the reason for representation.
And you now see why Dem votes are always 100% for or against; you know thatās not real (uninfluenced) life.
It's odd too that the Drs. are throwing in the May-Thurner Syndrome. I know someone who has May-Thurner and it is obvious by looking at his left leg that there is something amiss. Pictures of Lauren Boebert (wearing skirts) show no such condition. Thankfully this young man wisely avoided the mRNA jab despite a mandate at his university. The story is sounding very Damar Hamlin Commotio Cordis to me. Maybe keep your eyes/ ears open for more surprise May-Thurner Syndrome diagnoses.
Agree. May-Thurner in this case was very likely a strettcchh.
I had never heard of this condition.
Interesting observation!
My 18 year old son has May Thurner. You don't always have a weird looking leg! Although my son does because he has 2 rare vascular diseases affecting the same leg. I was really worried about the vaccine giving him extra clotting issues since those with that diagnosis are susceptible to getting very large/long clots in the leg. He will probably have to deal with a clot sometime in the future even though he did not get a Covid vax. Not doubting the possibility an inaccurate diagnosis though. My other son had cancer last year at age 19- also not vaxxed! So, the vax isn't always to blame. I would have 100% blamed his cancer diagnosis on it if he was vaccinated though. And yes, I still hate the vax and do believe it is sadly injuring people and causing deaths. But, it wasn't the cause in the case of my children.
Kelly, Hoping that both of your sons will be well. Also looking forward to the day when we can have even a small amount of faith that the medical "authorities" are leveling with us and not trying to pull the wool over our eyes.
Yes yes yes!!! She needs to be curious about why this happenedā¦ And not just compliant and listen to the doctors first explanationā¦ I love my doctor, but I feel like she has been misinformed just like the majority at the medical peopleā¦ It is hard to go against the main streamā¦ I have lost friends and I have family members. We just canāt talk about this situation!
What surprises me is the lack of inquisitiveness that people seem to have.
Almost like they are in some sort of cult.
āThe Indoctrinated Brainā offers the best explanation yet for the Sheepleās lack of critical thinking.
The interviews with Dr. Nehls have been enlightening...and frightening.
Too many perhaps "brainwashed" into actually believing that "we're doing this to save granny!" - what a terrific bit of propaganda this was - "save society, get the vax".
...and the "buy-in" - Frightening!
I would say that is the one part of Tucker's interview with Michael Nehls that helps make sense of the phenomena we've seen.
Another high profile likely SADS just happened: Vontae Davis, former NFL player, 35 yrs old found dead at home with no foul play expected. Sooner or later someone with a high profile is going to go on a public rant about how these vaccines are killing people.
Saw that too š
Yes, and she should team up with Nancy Mace on sharing their stories.
I agree. I have to admit, I was somewhat shocked that she opted for the shots. And even more shocked that she had her children vaxxed! I guess she isnāt the gun-toting momma I thought she was.
Agree. Under the circumstances, as a public figure and REPRESENTATIVE she should reveal her C19 vax status. Itās her public duty.
She has the guts to do it.
Seek good and not evil, in order that you may live;
And thus may Yahweh God of hosts be with you,
Just as you have said!
Hate evil, love good,
And set justice at the gate!
Perhaps Yahweh God of hosts
May be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.
ā Amos 5:14-15 LSB
Very appropriate.
Janice, youāre the bestš„° Thanks for always being here! Blessings.
Jeff Childers wrote, "But nowadays, at the first sign of a young ladyās interest in boy stuff, her parents fretfully schedule an appointment with the family doctor to talk about intervention."
That's actually the genesis of the problem. Parents have so little regard for their own common sense and God-given responsibility that they rush off to consults an "expert" (as if a doctor is anymore knowledgeable on this) when faced with parental challenges. They've convinced themselves that outsourcing their parental obligations and decisions is somehow a good thing.
Being a parent is both difficult and rewarding (as most hard things are). Yet generations have been brainwashed to think that outsourcing their kid's upbringing to day care, pubic schools, and specialists is somehow in their kid's best interests. In reality, it's a feel good mechanism to assuage the guilt they feel at not being involved in their kid's lives. If they aren't qualified to do it, then they can't be blamed when their kids go off the rails from their lack of involvement.
I personally was raised not by my parents but by the neighborhood teenagers (late 70's/early 80's) and as expected the results were a disaster culminating in hedonism, alcoholism, and drug addiction. (Set free by the grace of God thirty years ago.) My parents didn't think they were unqualified but just couldn't be bothered. I'm not making the same mistake with my kids.
The Woke Mind Virus is real. Imagine that idiot in Oklahoma who just now realized he's "more" of a Repub than a Dem.
The most fascinating of the Woke Left's hypocrisies is that being girlie is liking pink stuff, baubles, makeup and glitters; being boyish is liking short hair and pants. Nobody stereotypes more than Lefties. They are confused beyond all recognition, and obsessed with categories even as they gaslight sane people 24/7.
Honestly - and I know this is going to ring of having compassion toward them, lol - but I think they are just spiritually deprived. They've bought into the scientistic worldview that can and will only consider what is objective and concrete. Therefore, they have no ability to understand or process feelings or intuition, much less sense a deeper purpose or substance to life beyond the "categories" that "the science" has deemed real.
So, they are stuck, seeking the truth, but unable to find it b/c they are looking to the world of made-up materialistic categories rather than the deeper, more complete spiritual world. They focus on vapid and shallow concepts of "identity" because they can't or won't see the deeper, more meaningful spiritual concept of identity.
God says that when He is continually rejected, He will turn them over to their evil desires. They are literally blinded to the truth.
Yes, well offered. But their excuses have run out, whatever the reasons for their abject delusions. While a semblance of genuine spirituality is ultimately a long-term prerequisite, there's no reason why a strict rationalist like a Dawkins can't see the handwriting on the wall and stop the destructive behavior. (Dawkins has recently come around about 160Ā°, shocking his followers).
https://tuckercarlson.com/the-tucker-carlson-encounter-michael-nehls/
Oh yeah, for sure. The inability or unwillingness to see something more to life than just superficial labels and categories is a failing on their part, and as you say, even at that, they should be able to see the outcomes, the destruction their ideas and way of life cause to themselves and others. So, yeah, they need to change or they need to go. Because this isn't working and we can't change society to accommodate insane, addicted people. Enabling their illness and depravity is only going to make things worse.
Very insightful comment!
Thank you for this comment. Social stereotypes are so limiting. Being a woman I especially hate the tomboy vs. girlie girl characterization. Yes, I climbed trees and ran with boys and girls as a kid. We all played together. Yes I like to look nice in a feminine way but am not obsessed with it. I like to shoot guns and lift weights. I'm especially good at math and science and made a career of it. I also took time off to raise children. Am I a "tomboy"? No labels needed as I am a natural woman as are most women I know. Follow your interests and aptitudes. That's what I'm teaching my granddaughter.
I love it. Exactly how I've raised my daughters who are excellent athletes. They hate bugs and snakes but it's clearly genetic(!!)They are also very happy. Everybody says how naturally beautiful and smart and kind and genuine they are but men and boys today are either too intimidated or too emasculated to take action on the best catches they will ever come across.

Excellent comment!!!
Tom-boy here, way back when. No parental interventions. That was unheard of.
Tomboy too; remain low maintenance. Spent more time on my horse than in school. One room school provided exceptional education; had to ābeatā the classes ahead.
I think part of the reason our country used to provide a pretty decent education is because of one room schoolhouses! They did a far better job than most of our schools with all their tech and their credentials do nowadays.
That was probably a Freudian slip--the typo 'pubic schools'--given what's been going one there, so hats off to you! (please don't correct it!) With you entirely on outsourcing the raising of the child of your womb to an outsider, for a paycheck.
Haha, thanks. Yeah probably Freudian as my opinion of public schools (and frankly parents who dump their kids in them without knowing what's going on) couldn't be lower.
We live in an excellent academic school district (one of the top in the state) and my kids did attend them for a while. (Elementary school didn't seem to be a problem back then though I wouldn't trust them now.) In the later grades my older son started coming home saying things like, "Jesus never actually said homosexuality was wrong in the Bible" and other obvious gay agenda talking points he was being fed by school staff. I was already extremely wary but that was enough for us. We pulled him out within two weeks once we had a sound biblical school lined up. His younger brother followed shortly.
People asked how we could do such a thing when the schools were so top tier (people fake their address to get into the district). Their new school was one-tenth the size of the public school and didn't have anywhere near the amenities of a prosperous school district. Plus tuition was never in our budget and we really had to tighten the belt (I drive a sixteen year old car that I fix myself and we don't take expensive vacations). But frankly none of that mattered, my wife and I knew we had to make a drastic change and felt compelled to do so. The Holy Spirit convicted us to step and and do what needed to be done.
It was one of the best decisions we ever made and I truly believe had we not intervened my son would be in a really ugly place right now.
Godspeed to you good father!
I love this post. Congratulations on your harrowing journey and coming out on the other side intact holding in your heart space, the wisdom of the ages .
Thank you and truly God's grace is amazing. We all make mistakes, sometimes in an incredibly colossal, lame-brained fashion. People make mistakes towards us. It happens, we are fallen creatures after all. That's not the main problem, the problem is failing to learn from the mistakes.
Praise God for His unfailing love and pursuit of His children! He never gives up!!!
Nailed it
Jeff Cā I have noticed my friends appear unable to take responsibility for their own health and run for quick-fix pill at the slightest pain. No wonder their children are ādoctoredā to death, so to speak. The drs are more than happy to oblige.
ā(as if a doctor is anymore knowledgeable on this)ā - the best clause (phrase?) here and so full of unrealized truth. Thx.
You said it all, Jeff, and you said it well. Thank you. God bless.
Great post, well said!! And good for you for taking responsibility as every parent should!!
Thanks for the info on Lauren Boebert. I knew Jeffās research skills would find it, if it was out there. My nieceās college roommate at Johnās Hopkins just collapsed in the shower and managed to crawl into the hallway where my niece discovered her having a seizure. She died. A brilliant young biomedical engineer. My niece is traumatized. At the same time my young son has a classmate whoās father just died suddenly while watching the ncaa basketball tournament.
That's awful. That our young people should have to deal with this. When I was young, decades ago, death was for the elderly or if a young person - a fatal car accident. This scamdemic robbed so much joy from our young people. š®āšØ
Jeff C. Is correct. At this point , when a healthy person suddenly dies, it is fair game to ask the mRNA status of that person. We are way beyond medical coincidences.
Former coworker, retired Navy officer and JAG, retired after another 20+ years of DoD civilian service in Nov 2023. Just heard he was diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumor - allegedly caught after his 2nd retirement out of the blue - and is in hospice already. Only 65 yo. Unclear right now if he had the shots but DoD was constantly on us and threatening dismissal if we didn't comply.
Thousands of us did not comply, BTW. FJB. How many more will die too soon because of his evilness?
A 52 year old father in our community went in on Friday for kidneys stones. That's when they discovered stage 4 pancreatic cancer. He died the following Monday. When will people wake up?
Oh wow šš¢
:(
Thatās terrible š
My default reaction to most deaths or injuries these daysā¦it was the vax.
So incredibly sad. But please just move along. Nothin ta see here. What happened to both people is perfectly normal. š
Yes when I bring up all the deaths and injuries Iām told ā¦. People die all the time!!!š³
Same here. š¤¦š¼āāļø They donāt wanna look at the actual data talking about above average deaths or causes of such. Itās part of their denial still. Itās really frustrating when people refuse to see whatās right in front of them. Or when they say āthe vax isnāt responsible for every deathā. Ummm. Ok.
And yet they were ready to believe Covid was šš
That's what I don't understand... A lot of millennials I know will make sure there is no fluoride in their toothpaste or aluminum in their deodorant... But when it came to Covid, they all said "I don't want to catch it!" and they didn't bother researching what was in the shots.
Yes I know those types too, middle age women who are so extremely worried and careful about everything you mentioned except they inject Botox into their faces and gladly take the vax!
Amazing, isn't it? So awake about certain things, but so asleep on others!
SO MUCH THIS!!!
The only thing that helps them to realize is the āexcessive deathā percentage and of course no media is talking about that. And the data is impossible to access. Probably even being deleted as we speak. Even if excessive death is up 14 percent, thatās not high enough to sound major alarm for normies. It would have to get so high itās effecting letās say five out of ten family members perhaps. Iām at 1 out of 10 actual family members who have died since taking the vaccine, although 3 have gone down hill quite rapidly.
But itās usually old people like me.
Not people under 50 from some really strange ailments.
And even the older people, I canāt help wondering if their death wasnāt hastened, although itās nearly impossible to prove š
āDied peacefully at homeā seems to mean found dead in their bed. True in our extended family.
Yes, I wonder about those too. Case in point, my SIL died with a hastened case of Lewie Body dementia. Even though she was 81 at the time, she had been a little dynamo up until the last year of her lifeā¦after the vax she went downhill fast. The other factor which made me suspect the vax was the extreme longevity gene which ran in her family, several of her siblings were very active well into their 90ās, 2 brothers lived to the age of 100, one of whom is still sharp as a tack.
Yes I have had similar cases among my family and extended circle. Not impossible that it was unrelated but just kind of odd, incongruous.
I get that too. Iām the crazy one for mistrusting the vax.
Yeah, my husband says that all the time. At least I've managed to keep him unvaxxed.
Sarcasm can backfire. At first, I thought you were doing a Benjamin 2ns or whatever his name is.
Please donāt ever compare me to that account.
well there aaaaaare 2 nās in your nameā¦š
Uh, oh. There's 2 ns in mine as well.
Hahahahahahahahaaha. That made me laugh out loud.
š¤£š
Sorry but that made me laugh Sunnydaze š
š It made me laugh that you laughed. Hahahaaha.
We all understand the reaction š¬š
My friend who I take credit for waking up often says "nothing to see here. Move along" when I forward some obvious false flag or other psyop.
I was thrown off by the sarcasm too. It takes me back to the day I was a waitress at age 16 at golden coral and an old man said his steak was terrible. I didnāt know if he was being sarcastic or not because 95 percent of the customers think itās funny to say their meal is Terrible, when you ask how was everything? They wait for my reaction and then laugh and say no everything was great. This is VERY annoying, but I was young and maybe thatās why or maybe itās this particular restaurant clientele. Anyway Iāve never been able to embrace sarcasm since the man yelled at me that his steak really was terrible!
Youāre right. If I had posted my loved ones friends had died and someone made a sarcastic remark, Iād lose some respect for them. Death shouldnāt be taken lightly. Others are joking with her about her sarcasm. I personally think itās in poor taste, but thatās just me.
Uh, hello? It's GC! Of course the steak is terrible!
Naw it aint that bad. The extra toppings from kids sneezes and coughs add to the flavor.
š¤£š
So sad. Prayers for your niece.
Thatās horrible, just so sad šš¢
I just found out from a friend that her stepmother passed away suddenly from a stroke while at church. So many sudden deaths lately š
Friend of friend - age 59 - recently passed away on couch after walking the dog (and getting a run in the previous evening.) The new code phrase is "passed away peacefully at home. "
āPassed away peacefully at home surrounded by spike proteins and blood clots.ā
And I should add that it was so "peaceful" that he apparently wasn't able to call out to his wife for help who was upstairs in their home sending out birthday wishes to friend's wife on Fakebook. Cannot make this stuff up.
And Nobody is curious!??
Blew my mind too until I listened to the Dr. Nehls podcast I posted here yesterday. Their brains are broken, and go apeshit when confronted with anyone who tries to make them think , or debate. At least it will stop me from even trying to reach them anymore and let them devolve in peace. Consequences.
I think for them to be curious they would have to be willing to face the potential for sudden passing of themselves and their children, grandchildren etc. And the safe and effective mantra has been very strong. So the awakening is very slow but as Jeff says drip by drip.
Maybe theyāre scared that theyāll be next?
I've been reading that one for a year. Replaces, generally, died unexpectedly, I guess.
I see this phrase repeatedly in our local obits column.
I as well. I cut out the page each week to keep a chronicle of these deaths for the future record.
Mark Crispin Miller has been keeping a record of deaths around the World in his Substack.
Sudden cardiac death in younger persons is up 66% percent. A 21 sigma event.
So.....
Agree thanks. However - it seemed Jeff was saying she was jabbed because she said they vaccinate. I did not feel you could draw that conclusion at all.
It would be great if she would clarify her jab status. It shouldn't be that big of a deal, based on the insistence just a few short years ago that so many entities required knowing everyone's status to do life in so many settings.
She should absolutely reveal the truth about her jab status. Seems she is more interested in staying on Trumpās good side and that would potentially cause problems for him since he is so proud of his vaccines.
so true!!!
Lisa, exactly - they've had vaccinations *in the past,* she said, but never addressed this one. I've had tons in the past, too, but not this one, and likely no more, ever.
So very sorry for your family and all the families that have been so affected by all this evil through no fault of their own.
Wow, that's awful.
Oh my goodness. How heart wrenching. š„ praying for both both girls and their families.š
Wow. Truly awful. We need to pray for these young ones. Much more traumatizing to come. I hope she gets some grief counseling
((((Hugs)))) to your niece.
How incredibly awful.
May God help her through this.
Thatās awful. Hope there is an autopsyā not many of them done, as post vaccine SADS is so tragically common.
āFear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.ā āBehold, all those who were incensed against you Shall be ashamed and disgraced; They shall be as nothing, And those who strive with you shall perish.ā

One of my absolute favorites, thank you
We have all these Republicans saying we'll lose the election because of our stubborn insistence on fighting abortion. Yet, the Democrats are the party that literally forces it's members to support the killing of human life.
If Republicans lose because we stand for the morality of human life, I say let us lose.
Only God will be able to bring us back from that anyway.
My beloved former boss said repeatedly, "when you're right , you fight." No compromise. And the only battle he ever lost was the last one, when the entire international division was eliminated and transferred to Switzerland. I have told people who vilify conservative politicians for not compromising and "getting things done", when is the last time you ever saw a Democratic politician compromise. ? I'll wait.
Democrats are the party of death!
I've always said, DNC = Death N Crotches
Oh, if only THEY would.
I really think it's as simple as laying out what the Dems' abortion support actually looks like, how extreme it actually is. Like, the most extreme in the world. Far more extreme even than Europe, which has 12-16 weeks in just about every country. But the Dems insist on literal infanticide, the murder-for-convenience of an 8 or 9 month old fully developed child.
It's absolutely bizarre to me that Republicans and conservatives don't take this angle more often and just call out the complete lunacy of the current Dem party platform. One step at a time. Win at that level and then push for the next. When you're trying to win a war, you don't try to overtake the whole country at once.
I agree. I think there are still a lot of old school Democrats who vote Democrat because they always have and honestly have no idea what the party truly stands for now.
Totally. The majority of them also don't buy the woke/DEI thing either. They just vote (D) b/c they always voted (D) and haven't even looked at what the party's platform is since about 2002.
Uh huh. Most find out and still vote D.
The longer the baby stays in utero, the better for organ harvesting. God forgive me, may they rot in hell.
It always makes me laugh and roll my eyes when Europeans wring their hands about Republicans wanting more abortion restrictions and donāt even realize how extreme some states here are compared to them š They just parrot the media without being informed about what is actually happening.
Amen Jason!
I love bees. ā¤ļø My garden last year attracted so many different pollinators. Wonderful is nature. š„°
Starting last year, I have refused to rip up the speedwell and rockcress-which begin to bloom in January= (and I saw a honeybee on them Jan. 15)-or the deadnettle blooming in mid-March--until lots of other flowers are around. I treasure my little buzzy friends. SE Pa, zone 7a.
I love to garden anyway & it is ALWAYS w/ an eye to attracting š , š¦ & hummers. I can sit in the garden for hours just watching them all. The chem trails are trying to kill everything
Same here. I was going to pull out fleabane from my garden, but didn't as the bees were all over it and ignoring my other flowers.
Iām going to research what kinds of flowers bees are especially attracted to. A few years ago I had one that I thought was catnip, the bees loved it!
Lucky! Firstenberg, in his book Invisible Rainbow, chronicles studies of erratic self harming behavior of bee populations when near cell phones, towers and other EMF sourcesāwhich may account for the drastic decline in US and European populations.
Our front yard is a sea of dandelions and small purple flowers that won't get mowed until May. Across the road is a nightly-watered sea of green that's chem-bombed every month. I can only imagine the owners frustration at our "weed" yard.
Same here, although the mustard weed was getting out of hand so my husband mowed yesterday. We live in the country and weāre on a well so the front yard gets watered when God waters it. The purple flowered weeds we have now we call Henbit, it causes lots of allergies, but the chemicals to get rid of it are probably worse for your in the long run.
I would love to live in the country, but my husband is not inclined that way. We do have hens and I'm raising 12 chicks right now, so that's as close to country as I get. The girls love dandelion leaves.
I didn't know this. Great information.
We planted milkweed to attract Monarch butterflies. Surprisingly, it only worked the first year and haven't seen them since.
Butterfly bushes keep they coming and hummingbird moths too and all sorts of other lovely things
I used to see many fireflies every fall, and for the last 2-3 years, none! I loved those little guys.
I love them too! I still see lots of them in my backyard. They always make me so happy!
Magic!
Much spraying for mosquitos.
Do you or those nearby use chemicals/pesticides outside at all?
Cities mass spray for mosquitos
šutiful! šøš·š». Happy news!
Although we have lots of deer that devour everything, today we are attempting to plant our first pollinator garden with ā deer resistant ā flowers.
Yessss, ready to sleep in my garden waiting for monarchs
Those Monarch caterpillars are crazy! š
As soon as you think you have enough food for all of the caterpillars- suddenly all the milk weed is bare and you have to take an emergency trip to get more.
They are worth it though! š¦
Game on!!!!
Re Bees: stop using ROUNDUP to save the planet!
The main active ingredient of Roundup is the isopropylamine salt of glyphosate. Another ingredient of Roundup is the surfactant POEA (polyethoxylated tallow amine).
Monsanto also produced seeds which grow into plants genetically engineered to be tolerant to glyphosate, which are known as Roundup Ready crops. The genes contained in these seeds are patented. Such crops allow farmers to use glyphosate as a post-emergence herbicide against most broadleaf and cereal weeds.
The health impacts of the product as well as its effects on the environment have been at the center of substantial legal and scientific controversies. In June 2020, Bayer agreed to pay $9.6 billion to settle tens of thousands of claims, mostly alleging that glyphosate-based Roundup had caused cancer.-wikipedia
That's exactly why I eat GMO free and buy organic sheets and clothing when possible.
We hope. Not required to be listed in the good ole USA. /s EU is far ahead of us there.
Roundup is also used as a desiccant just before harvest of corn, soy and wheat crops to insure uniformity in the plants. You are eating it, friends! Those three crops are in everything we eat and every animal we eat (unless you are eating 100% pastured animals).
Glyphosphate is in the water and soil pretty much everywhere now.
Yesterday, someone sent me a couple of emails about paraquat, another highly toxic herbicide that the EPA banned from golf courses, but still allows on crops. :(
IIrc, paraquat was used back in the day of āgrow your own weedā š¤·š¼āāļø
Interesting!
Check out https://wildpastures.com/reserve . They use only pasture raised animals without antibiotics, GMO etc. I have been purchasing Wild Pastures for almost a year and have been very happy with the quality. The chicken is amazing!
What is Roundup's role in the recent bee collapse situation - does it directly impact the health of bees? Or simply killing off their food supply?
I had 3 dead birds in one day. ''Someone'' was spraying Round up and they flew through it. Why else? It and other pesticides kill the bees, birds, us.
Some days I think we are dealing with metaphysical evil,some days the Anti-Christ (as distributed social engineering not necessarily only a person), and some days I think it is a simulation, with "easter eggs" hidden to clue us in. The head of Monsanto in Australia is (or was) named "Adam Blight" The Harvard associated doctor persecuting Dr. Meryl Nass is named "Faust" and that list goes on and on. "Blight?" "Adam?" Can that be a coincidence?
Glyphosate is found in vaccines.

My small business handles calls for state run insurance and I can't even begin to mention how many strokes, heart attacks, blood clots, and died suddenly calls I deal with since the experimental gene therapy began. And most of the calls are all people under the age of 45. I even spoke with a 23 year old last week who had a massive heart attack while doing martial arts. All of the people I speak with are vaxxed to the brim. But... that's all a conspiracy theory right? The runner up to the above calls: Autism. It's unreal what's being done to the people and yet they all still seem to believe in the cult of the medics.
Interesting first hand info
Good morning from MO
How did the stadium vote go? Iām not in Jackson County and was on an early flight the next day?
It was defeated
Thank you for letting me know! šš»šš»šš»
Sorry, I didnāt see your post
It failed
šš»šš»šš»
I hate it when people say donāt build a wall or put up fences because theyāll just go over/under or cut the fence. To me thatās like saying, donāt put a lock on your door because someone will just pick the lock or break down the door. The point is we shouldnāt make it easy for them and I like the added benefit of being able to charge them for destroying property.
Or we have to abolish the death penalty because āthe system is brokenā.
https://www.liberty.edu/champion/2021/03/opinion-christians-and-the-death-penalty/
With the death penalty there is 0% recidivism š
Those same people donāt mind the death penalty for babies though š¤
IMO, softness on crime is the root cause of all the wrongs we see, including "wokeness." Our government has spent the last 60+ years siding with criminals, deviants, and the mentally ill instead of their victims. We are now about as far left on crime as a nation can get. To the point of legalized infanticide in some states.
Exactly. Where are the years and years of appeals for the babies?
Yet, idiotic Pro-Lifers in the Catholic Church caved to the baby killers senseless criticism that they were hypocrites because they didnāt oppose the death penalty. Caved!
They are using cute baby pictures to raise pro-life money to include abolishing the death penalty.
Let them use mugshots of the murderers to do their fundraising!
Sometimes it feels like the Pro-life movement has become like the Cancer industry. Is it too profitable to end?
Horrible thought. I do know wonderful, selfless people in the movement.
I was a kid raised in the 60's & 70's and for many of my young years, I was very tomboy-ish. I loved bike racing, climbing trees, hot-dogging on my ski's, playing king of the hill from snowbanks, playing sports, etc. Not once do I remember thinking I wanted to change my biological sex. In fact, I didn't even know there was such a thing and the reason I didn't know there was such a thing is because it wasn't shoved in my face from every possible direction (tv shows, teachers, friends, etc). No one can convince me that somehow, practically overnight, so many kids are now wanting to lop off body parts, is now considered normal. We have a generation of many PARENTS who are ignorant, base their decisions on "feelings", want to be their kid's "friend", and have allowed their kids to be exposed to way more than they're capable of understanding. In 10-20 years, we'll be hearing about all the regret and human misery this trans thing will cause.
Agree about the future regrets. I had an older brother and so in order to keep up with him I climbed trees and played with frogs and snakes (that actually came in handy last night when I had to remove a small snake from my basement š). I never liked dolls and I liked playing āboyā stuff but never thought I was a boy or wanted to be one. Itās just weird to me how some parents now immediately jump to transgender as soon as they see their child doing non stereotypical things.
The thing is, many boys & girls have behaved non-stereotypically since the beginning of time. Some more than others but it's not new. There's something else going on these days and the only thing I can think of is a huge increase of people (including parents) who are either ignorant, incredibly self absorbed, spiritually void, or possibly, a combination of all three.
Oh exactly! The difference is in how people are reacting to this phenomenon which has always happened. I think Jeff Cās comment about outsourcing parenting to āexpertsā has a lot to do with it, as do social pressures and virtue signaling, especially in certain circles.
There will be a lot of suicides I suspect. That is the goal I believe of Klausā woke cultural experiment. Depopulation. Make it so the kids canāt reproduce or simply erase them.
It won't take that long! Many regrets have been censored! I think Bruce Jenner might have a few. Dressing, like a lady. takes work and walking on high heels can be painful. But, none of my business.
