..."28% of Americans say they have a great deal or a fair amount of trust in the mass media...." Experts are baffled. One translation: 28% of Americans are still wearing filthy face rags. That checks out. Another: 28% of Americans shouldn't be allowed to vote, drive or be left unsupervised with a slinky. I think higher.
"The market broke new records yesterday...." Experts are baffled.
Nicolas “Sophie” Roske is delusional....Experts are baffled.
It's the gift that keeps on giving.
Just a quick update: It’s been a little over a week since would-be Trump assassin Ryan Routh - having skipped some of the more important chapters in "Harikiri for Dummies" - attempted to peacefully thrust a pen through his neck. I just got back from a well visit and I’m happy to report that the pen is doing fine, resting comfortably in an Office Depot rehabilitation center. Mr. Bic will be retiring from public service and is currently dating a short and sassy #2 Ticonderoga pencil from the Trump International Golf Club...having found his long-time Paper Mate. Mr. Routh, as fate would have it, remains in the pen.
As far as I know, in Australia, a "flummox", or "flummux" can also refer to a person being flummoxed (confused or bewildered). So an "expert" can also be a "flummox". I like that..
1. : to deceive by underhanded methods : dupe, hoodwink. I got bamboozled by the salesperson to buy a more expensive model. 2. : to confuse, frustrate, or throw off thoroughly or completely.
As a diehard supporter of Dixon Ticonderoga #2 (the best erasers, cuz I'm the best at needing them), I approve of this message. One Christmas, Santa Claus put ten boxes of same in my stocking. And I don't mean in my childhood.
Agree, still loooove pencils and pens (even while utilizing keyboard). Recently read that actual writing, pencil/pen to paper, improves memory retention and understanding. Was fortunate to realize and utilize early in life, as a way to understand school lessons of all kinds. For example, would copy music to memorize - drawing out the stave/staff, penciling in the notes. That stuff is stuck in there even today. And am over 60 years from childhood.
I know this is a departure from the stream...Im 73 and I was taught the 'helping verbs" when I was 12, in the 7th grade through writing repetition. With a pencil as big as a horses leg. I can't remember what I had for breakfast but I can remember: is, be, been, am, are, was were, has, have, had, do, does, did, may, can might, could, must, shall, will, should, would.
Love this!! In a similar vein, I know someone who, during a Spanish vocab test, had to conjugate the Spanish verb "ser" which means "to be". After translating *"ser" -- "to be", this high IQ person proceeded to write: I be, you be, they be, we be! We still laugh about it... well, I still laugh about it.
*Edited to correct the Spanish word, because I have forgotten basic high school Spanish. 😂🤣
Amo, amas, amat, amamas, amatas, amant. Not sure I can still translate them all though. 😂🤣😂🤣 (I love, you love, he/she/it loves, they love, you (plural) love, we love. I think)
Do you still enjoy rattling off all the cases for nouns in Latin? Ablative, dative, nominative, genitive, accusative, and vocative. They should still teach Latin.
I remember in elementary school we spent a lot of time on the irregular verb forms, which tend to be the most common words. Lately, it sure seems like those forms are disappearing even among supposedly educated people as you will not only hear but sometimes read things like "I have went", "I should have knew" and so on. The "helping" words have remained but the irregular participle forms are rapidly disappearing and the simple past form is being substituted. I wonder if the participle forms are even taught these days? I remember having to recite and write verb groups like go-went-gone, know-knew-known, see-saw-seen, etc.
There's actually not that many of them to learn, so it's sad how the language is disintegrating in this area.
Yes, and the supposedly educated journalists are not even corrected by their supposedly educated editors. Sometimes when reading a paragraph, snort to self wondering if they even know the extent to which the author(s) are exposing their lack of command of the English language. They are paid to write this drivel and we are expected to accept it. Quite disappointing.
They don’t teach diagramming sentences anymore. I’ve heard educated people say “I seen.” And “a lot” is usually spelled as one word. Also, forget about lie and lay. “Spot, lay down.” Ugh.
It's bad enough that spelling and grammar have been skipped but the one that really makes me crazy is lack of punctuation! Those little marks often make a difference in understanding what has been written. And, now I sound like an old fuddy-dud - oh yeah, I am! :)
Oh, I'm with you. Talking to (for the most part) younger people is like having dialog in a 1950's movie with a jungle tribal leader. Even watching the news the talking heads always miss use the participle form of so many words. I taught my kids that if they learned to make change in their heads, they'll rule the world.
I "done seen" and I "done went" are two of mine. Actually, there are too many to list because there are so many that are prevalent these days.... UGH! They have completely butchered the English language! I heard a teacher say they can no longer correct poor English because it's "racist to force minorities to speak like we do...."
I, the same. I keep a large (Mead, 5-Star) notebook for recording my daily garden activities: what, where, how much, how long…. And insist on making my entries using my Tic. #2. I learned the hard way, much too late for my own school value (but not for my students’ benefit) that in order to learn something, you actually have to do something with that information. Write it, draw it, sing it, dance it…..Doing an ESL cert. program 15 years ago, came across some “expert’s” contention that using hand-written flashcards was the most effective way to learn foreign language vocabulary. I beg to differ, as I saw that my own students benefitted most from our daily chanting and singing of our (Latin) vocabulary and grammar, although I continued to require that they make flashcards.
This! Four years ago when I was trying to investigate nutrition, the standard American diet (SAD,) the truth about our food supply today, and learn the Keto diet, I literally filled an entire 5-subject, college ruled notebook, not counting all the printouts of online information which filled a few file folders. I likened it to college level studying. The impact after I finished is I had to reference my notes at most for a month and never again because it transferred so well to my brain. I could literally teach a course right now of low carb dieting, the many medical positives of it, and how to overcome typical reasons of failure to stick with it. All because of my handy, dandy pens/pencils and notebook engraving facts into my brain.
Took two years of drafting in high school. Loved it. Always a mechanical pencil with a pointer. I think I finally threw out my pointer in the last decade. lol.
Me too. Second year, I was sharing report card grades with my buddy Andy and the teacher, Tony Torriello, happened by. He exclaimed "(my name), I didn't know you were smart. I'd never mess up a nice report card like that If I had known. " I had straight "A's", and a B in Mechanical Drawing. I smiled at my friend, and he shook his head disgusted, and envious. We both knew all I had to do was finish the assignments, and I would be guaranteed "A''s" the rest of the year. Torriello had once come in late and told the class he had been called to the office to justify why all the football players got "A's" . He was an assistant coach. "Can I help it if football players seem to have a knack for mechanical drawing?"
I'm a leftie and I detest most ball points. Righties pull the pen, lefties push the pen. It's not designed for pushing. Hmm...does "pen-pusher" then only apply to the left-handed?
I realize now--yes, I am well familiar with them, but having forgotten them, had thought the Pink Pearls comment referred to pencils, not erasers. Thanks for your comment, Tom. What a thread this has become!
The only pencil neck I know of these days is Adam Schiff, that slimy, lying reptilian senator from California. I think Gutfeld was who started calling him that.
Eric, lately your musing are leaving me a bit pensive. Perhaps a small penalty for a penchant I have for the way you pen your thoughts in multiple - sometimes converging - streams of penetrating truth. May the pen always be with you!
There’s been a divide in my family since Covid. Between the jabs, the stolen election and Jan 6th in particular, I find it hard to really feel close to any old friends and family who were brainwashed by this nonsense and who expressed credulity at me challenging them to think otherwise. I tried repeatedly to provide objective and transparent factual data on all of these subjects to broaden their understanding and awareness of how they’ve been badly abused and manipulated with distorted facts and limited information or lies by omission. Regardless of these efforts I’ve made zero headway convincing anyone of anything. The mental conformity and cognitive dissonance seems permanent. TDS is real. I’m not sure where we go from here!
It's like arguing with an addict -- you cannot convince them, they must FIRST BE READY to ACKNOWLEDGE their condition. You can only grieve the loss of the relationship that you thought you once had.
Gail, I also think of it as arguing with Ward Cleaver who's living in his 1950s Cleaver world where everything was fine until you moved in next door and started trying to talk to him about "color teevee" and "government corruption." He just shuts down. It's too much to hear. It means "everything wasn't perfect, like he always thought it was." It means he's at least partly to blame because he wasn't watching and was too trusting. And he really needs you to "shut up right about now..." Even if you do, he knows "something's just not right" in Cleaver world.
I have the same issue with family members. They believe so much that isn’t true, to coin a phrase from Reagan. They refuse to listen and discuss (which they call arguing or confrontational). They can’t articulate their beliefs so they spout talking points they’ve heard on MSM. No thinking involved. What happened is that the relationships I thought I had with family members were inauthentic, and Covid revealed that.
What I experienced with my extended family happened pre-COVID and destroyed any chance of a relationship going forward. But because of that I know exactly how things would be today if I had been in their life. None of them spent the time needed to think and analyze anything, but even if they had it would have failed them because they had no plumb line. I measure everything against the wisdom of God’s word given to us in the Bible, the one true plumb line. That also became a threat to them. So when we clashed with our perspectives, I was able to offer thoughtful logic and reasoning, and they constantly accused me of being overly opinionated. I often would have one SIL tell me “well I’m not as educated as you so it’s impossible to argue with you and not worth my time.” And then she’d proceed to cut me out of their life. -_- I never once bragged about my education or behaved in a superior way, but my ability to offer sound reasoning was a threat to them and no different than braggadocio. The only way to not be a “braggart” or “arrogant” was to keep my thoughts to myself. In the end what mattered to all of them was not the truth but the control of any narrative. When they started to bully me and I called them out on it, I threatened their control. The only way they could maintain control was to banish me and my children from the family for eternity. And as soon as they had an opportunity to turn one of my children against me they greedily took it knowing it would shatter my heart - and they reveled in that.
So I can relate to the pain others have experienced during COVID. Prior to COVID no one understood my agony and predicament, and most believed I must be the problem if it’s happening with every family member. I was told that more times than I could count even though in my heart I knew it wasn’t true. It was very lonely to go through. Now I have millions who can empathize with me.
Oh Juju, I’m so sorry. My son married a girl from NYC and became one of them. We talk but it’s not the same. When my grandchildren found out I voted for Trump they were devastated, crying and showing how much they hate Trump. Mind you, an 8 and 12 yr old. It was so much drama that my son wasn’t going to let them stay with us for a few days over the summer. So much hate. They did get to come over but there was a cloud over everything. I feel your pain
Aw thx but no need. I went through the pain of it years ago and have since learned to be at peace with it. I share it often though because it helps to know others fully understand from a personal experience.
Same here. It sparked such a split within my family that they pulled up stakes and moved back to Seattle so they could live in their echo chamber. The rest of us are here going 🤷♀️
Same for me. I refer to Mark Twains ' saying "It isn't what you don't know that is going to kill you. It's what you think you know for sure that just ain't so".
I get "That's a conspiracy theory" or "Studies don't show that" or even "We vaccinate in this family!" People aren't willing to consider that what they've been told, is wrong. Let alone that the information came from gov't authorities. I think it's become threatening to self to be wrong. Then it becomes "What do I do now?"
you cannot convince someone through reasoning if they did not arrive at their position using reason. It's that simple, sadly. As all of us here know, they start with talking points, then when that clearly fails , they resort to personal attacks. It's all they have, and nothing terrifies them more than having their most precious beliefs shattered.
PNew, THAT might be A Way. Nothing comes to mind immediately however that can't be immediately made controversial. But I do think you are Right. (There must be Something we could reason together about.)
I rather like your Cleever analogy. I work with staff all day in a health care setting and still want to scream into a pillow listening to their excitement over the “new flu/covid vax “.
I like the Ward Cleaver “gibberish” because “cognitive dissonance” as a term is becoming overused like so many others in a way that it stunts meaning. Like “ADHD” or “Autism Spectrum” or “bullying” all ceased to maintain the seriousness and understanding behind each term. Ward Cleaver gives a much needed refresher for understanding. I think I’ll reuse your analogy where I can. 👍
"...with apologies to Ward, and Hugh Beaumont" as I should have made clear.
Ward would have come around (I can't see "progressives" wanting his like), but it would have taken some time. I hope we would have been patient enough to convince him.
Like those parents of autistic children who are mad that Trump and Kennedy are researching causes. How dare they, their children are perfect, and “when they invented the telescope they found more stars” BS. It’s nuts.
True and tragic, but we all need to get out of our echo chambers, reunite with lost family and friends, agree to productively disagree, and work together to filter out the noise and chaos that subvert the truth and divide us. Let’s keep trying to rebuild bridges. “Be encouraged in heart and united in love.” Colossians 2:2
I had both reasonable and unreasonable horses in my lifetime. Those who continued to try to kick or bite me were eventually sold to someone with more patience than me.
I suspect that most of those suffering TDS took not only the jab, but took many of them. And so, they won't long be with us. Since Aug. '23 I've been collecting the obit page from a small-town Maine newspaper, readership about 7500. For a while, back in '22, '23, two pages were needed to list the weekly deaths. The obituary section had more recently returned to showing the deaths of only the ones (which I would consider) really eligible for natural death: by age or accident. The current edition shows a number of "suspicious" deaths--too young, too sudden. Also, a death in the VA hospital. As Kathleen Janoski famously quips about the VA pushing shots: "Giving American veterans one more chance to die for their country."
Same working in the medical profession… just saw a meme on facebook - picture of surgeon in scrubs praying, and the caption says “every orthopedic surgeon praying that the flat-earthers don’t come after ancef like they did Tylenol”. (Ancef is an antibiotic used very frequently in orthopedic surgery)… I just yelled at my screen… “ hey dumb dumb, Tylenol didn’t go away, you can prescribe it all you want.
Don’t get me started on everyone’s reaction to Ivermectin. This was one of the areas I tried in earnest to address because I assumed it was a less charged subset of a hot button issue - with huge upside if I could get my parents and siblings to take it. But no, apparently it’s either “completely ineffective” or “exceedingly dangerous” - all that meta analysis from over 80 studies at the time (2021-2022) be damned. 🙄
And something like 4 billion doses over a period of 40 years. On the WHO’s list of essential medicines so, essentially, a wonder drug (or it was before covid.)
My ex survived a stage 4 turbo cancer that emerged two weeks after his second jab. Now living with the threat of prostate cancer. He won't even read the newly emerging studies on Ivermectin and fenbendazole that I send him.
"Now time grows short. History will not allow the people of Shem additional centuries, or even decades, to come to their senses and realize what is going on. Just as they have been victims of massacres and genocides for centuries, the people of Shem now face the determination of the Canaanites to exterminate them utterly and finally. a goal they hope to achieve by the end of the millenium." The Curse of Canaan.... Eustace Mullins 1987
Yes, and it's my contention that all those admitted to emergency wards who were "having difficulty with breathing" (credited as symptomatic of "Covid") were under the spell of that fear, and not a virus.
when I had covid in early March of 2020, that was the ONE symptom I did not have-- difficulty breathing. (Age 58 at the time.) ALL the others, I had, especially loss of taste and smell. But nope, couldn't be seen bc i didn't fit their pattern. Pfbbbt!
I started really recovering when I was able to get some Goldenseal herb.
I will never give up my ivm horse paste which I take (weight appropriate dose) anytime I feel illness coming on and occasionally as a prophylactic.
Just yesterday I woke up feeling under the weather; brain fog, tummy aches, nausea, etc. So I drank lots of water, and had a couple glasses of fresh raw milk throughout the day rather than food.
Then, last night I had all over body aches, feverish, headache, felt really bad.
I've had autoimmune arthritis in the past, So I took a Celebrex, a hot shower, and rubbed DMSO on the soles of my feet and on my knees and lower back (which were aching) and went to bed.
Sometime in the middle of the night I turned a corner and I woke up feeling like my old self this morning!
I'm certain I fought off some nasty virus (I had traveled to Salem, MA over the weekend from FL,) and I'm so grateful for my "snake oil" cures like ivermectin, DMSO & raw A2 milk!
Maybe they all read the Surgisphere Corp's entry in the New England Journal of Medicine or the Lancet! (Oops, that was taking down hydroxychloroquine, wasn't it?)
If Ancef was taken off market, it really would shake up the ortho world!! They'd have to learn a whole new antibiotic...or maybe not, I guess that's what internal medicine consults are for ; )
Aspirin is also a blood thinner, which is why I am not allowed to take it. I live with a brain condition where I have microscopic brain bleeds on a regular basis. Fortunately, I am rarely in pain, so I have no need for pain relievers.
Just had a family friend die of turbo cancer. Funeral is tomorrow. Her immediate family wouldn't even try fenbendzole. Husband says he is getting the latest flu and Covid jabs next week.
My son’s MIL (die hard Dem voted for Biden then Kamala) was so excited to go get her bundle of vaccines and then post on FB. She’s totally delusional. I’m surprised she’s still ‘kicking’ cause she’s always ready for any booster they push. However, I did notice last time I saw her, she has the shakes real bad and never before had this issue.
And then there is an 85 year old at my gym in the greatest of shape for his age (most would guess he's in his mid 70s), slim and trim, working out there 3x per week, a pretty good conservative EXCEPT he has had something like 9 jabs so far. A real outlier I guess, but I'd say he's pushing his luck.
Yes, several 70+ in my gym too, fully jabbed and boosted...
The effects may be subtle, and not noticeable until a real problem comes up.
One gal had a UTI go septic, fast. One as mentioned got Parkinson's. One is always complaining about a cold they can't seem to get rid of.
I recommend all fully jabbed/boosted ask their Doc for a D-Dimer blood test... see if they have "micro-clotting" going on, which will not be symptomatic until it IS. None of my gym pals asked for the test... ah well... maybe better not to know...?
That should be malpractice! Thank God RKF is sounding the alarm for this kind of multiple Vax for babies forced upon new young parents. But it is mind boggling how many still do not question the safety of taking so many jabs at one time even as adults.
If I were dying of turbo cancer I would try ANYTHING. Ivermectin has been used safely for decades. Many drugs are used for conditions that they were not designed to treat. But so what. If they work, why not?
There is a man on YouTube who is dying from bladder cancer that has spread throughout his body. It appeared after taking the initial jabs. This poor guy has been through multiple surgeries (kidney removal, prostate surgery). Followers in his comments persuaded him to try Ivermectin and he went and bought the horse paste (SMH—you can get pills now) and started taking it. I doubt he even took it for a week. It “made him feel high,” so he stopped. Didn’t talk to any of the physicians recommended, or read any of the Substack links posted. Now he is actively dying. You can only get so far with some people, but we tried.
I’ve never seen a cancer patient not in pain meds or benzodiazepines. As soon as someone is diagnosed they prescribe Ativan and a pain med. interesting
My brother had bladder cancer before covid and had bladder removed. When covid came, he and all of my siblings and spouses, got the jabs in spite of my pleading with them not to. Now, after it returned and having chemo rounds, then immunotherapy he's going to spend the rest of his days on one strong med after another until there's nothing else that he can tolerate. All of my family saw me nearly die on a ventilator in 2017 for 21 days. Had non-Hodgkins lymphoma and then bilateral pneumonia. I quit chemo and went with alternative options. Yet, my brother absolutely refuses to try Ivermectin or Fenbendazole, even in addition to the meds. Really baffles me.
A lot of their doctors are to blame for this. They tell them it’s not the best chance and that the “science” supports other treatments. It gets ingrained in the patient’s head that alternative medicines are make believe voo-doo that will cost them the days they could live. So they shut out any recommendations from people like us. I blame the medical industrial complex and their “standards”.
On that note, I've noticed Scott Adams' dramatic improvement and have wondered if he's been taking those things; but then saw him interviewed recently (can't remember by whom) and he credited something else (a pharma drug?). He also hasn't acknowledged any likelihood of his cancer being caused by the jabs he regretted taking. Sure wish he'd come clean about that.
I thought he had spoken about that? I recall seeing a podcast where he said he had taken it so he could travel and now regretted it? Did I imagine that?
My "Directive" says explicitly that I want all the Morphine they can give me and if possible any hallucinogenics that can be IV'ed in. The party's in Jay's room. I'm going out with a bang, Y'all!
Which means they will have to transfuse RBCs from a blood donor who was possibly vaxxed. You can’t know… the C-19 vax question is not on the list of pre-donation questions.
I listened to Clinton Ohlers yesterday on Ninos Corner TV. He works with Safeblood, a company that matches unjabbed donors with people in need of blood. I signed up, though you can just offer to donate for free. 12 states have stopped allowing people to designate blood recipients. Ohlers mentioned a number of examples of unjabbed people who got blood transfustions, then either got ill, or died. It's a serious issue, and if you need blood in an emergency situation, you are simply screwed.
When my grandson was dx with a rare childhood cancer, LCH, which damaged his liver, we knew that he'd have to have a liver transplant if all of our alternative measures couldn't correct it. We joined Blessed By His Blood in order to have non-jabbed blood donated for him. We were informed of what to do and how to approach it with authorities. That was some time ago. But we believe that a liver donor will soon be approved. Hope that Ohio isn't one of those 12 states.
I have thought about this a lot. I want to make sure that my family has access to vax free blood. But I have no idea how to ensure that this is available in emergency situations!
Check out "blessed by his blood," a cooperative of unvaccinated blood donors and recipients. Myself and spouse are members and have donated two or three times to unvaccinated folks going in for surgery or treatment of blood cancers.
Absolutely pitiful! I can not fathom the level of stupidity from those who believe the lying medical establishment and liberal media! Too many people have died who should still be living life to the fullest! There are those who call themselves "experts" who should be held accountable. As should the media! Insist they all take the jabs ama every available booster!
Your WIVES will be the gatekeepers to your treatments. If you're down with a serious illness, they will be making many of the decisions, even if you think you have a say in it. And... they will do whatever Doctor god, aka "the oncologist" says to do.
We had two relatives with cancer: one vaxx induced, one not. The vaxx-induced cancer victim wanted to try IVM/FenBen. His wife gave it a thumbs down and waited until days before he died to say, "We could try this." It was already too late.
Her daughter's husband was diagnosed a short time later. We sent her all the info, and she came back with the same argument: "We're doing what our oncologist says."
Guess what? Your oncologist won't go along with this, and if YOU want this treatment, you're going to have to make sure your partner knows what to do.
So true. Talk about it now before cancer even enters the picture so that you are on the same page with your spouse or children.
I’m the wife - but my eyes were opened. I do most of the research and my husband doesn’t, so he could easily be influenced by others outside of our relationship if I were to get really ill. I started to share everything I was learning with him a few years ago. He’s waking up and starting to read alternative views and medical perspectives. He now knows very well the corruption of the medical institutions and how they actually cost lives. He witnessed first hand how they almost cost me ten years of my own life and how my taking matters into my own hands revealed their malpractice and allowed me to go to doctors who saved my life and gave me back those years. The one last thing I need to get into place is to find a functional medical doctor and establish a relationship for all of us so that should the time come he has someone he can trust for medical advice and suggestions. As it presently sits we are at risk of having to leave our health in the hands of the establishment. We are going to have to move out of state to find that. :/
The alt docs recommend the IVR/FenBen in addition to the chemo regimen. It’s not an either/or situation, so I don’t understand why people refuse to even try it.
Absolutely. Its mind blowing. My college roommate too young to die has had stage 4 cancer for 3 1/2 years now. Refuses to try anything else even though I’ve sent her lots of articles. You’d think theyd be desperate to try something. No doubt she is jabbed. No doubt trusts medical drs/prescribers. UGH
Sorry for your loss. Doubly because they wouldn’t even entertain the time to research what possibly could have cured or slow down the growth and given time and quality of life for the family member.
My wife attributes Fenben more than anything else we did to curing her stage 2B breast cancer. Check out Joe Tipper's webpage. It 's the first place we went. There are lots more articles too. Here's another article for you:
Deer in the headlights syndrome is often incurable. I reached the point where I don't reach out to my leftist family/friends any more. Just as I can't take people covered in tattoos &/or piercings seriously, I can't take a person who grieves over their "white privileges" seriously.
If they reach out to me I'm civil but life is too short to waste time beating myself in the head, thinking I will open their eyes & mind.
They don't strike me as similar, sort-of like comparing sexual orientation to race; not comparable. I get your point though but I subscribe to the opinion you only get one opportunity to give a first impression; maybe you disagree.
I deplore tattoos as well, but have had several experiences of first impressions being proved false. Remembering how wartime parents hated hippy styles.
You guys do realize that the readership of the Substack also contains people under the age of 40. I think we are talking about generation gap more than belief-gap. 🙏 and besides that, don’t forgot that you WANT God to change peoples hearts and help them come to the truth. So you should be thrilled there are people at your churches who have tattoos and are seeking the Lord. Wake up to what God is doing in the world. He looks at the heart. 😌🙏
Your comment resonates with me. Out of 7 kids, I am the youngest. The oldest brother, a conservative Christian, told me to stop sending him articles or studies on how unsafe the vaccines were back in 2021. (He was in the Pharma industry for 35 years). They think I'm nuts, but I'm being proven the sane one.
It's kind of a pyrrhic and quiet victory. For one, people had to die for us to be proven right and two, the survivors won't acknowledge their terrible mistake.
Here's the thing I see with my brother: He got 3 Pfizer jabs in May to September 2021. As far as I know (or he isn't revealing), he hasn't had any horrible effects despite the fact that he had prostate cancer in 2006. I do know he was convinced that he had to get the shots because of the prior cancer. Because nothing bad happened to him, he won't believe anything bad happened to others that was due to the shots, he thinks the shots protected him. I have given up trying to convince him of anything, nothing I can do.
I’m in your same shoes with some family ( mostly on my husbands side) and I had to dig deep to accept the fact that they think differently. It’s on a spiritual level, and I realized that we are all on different paths spiritually to grow and awaken and it’s just not their time yet.
Here’s how I think they see us and what they think: They think we are stupid, uneducated and wrong, both intellectually and morally. Why should they listen to less intelligent, less informed, and “wrong” people who voted for a “Nazi”?
Yes and in my case, I'm the only one of my siblings with a graduate degree, but that held no weight against the propaganda they chose to swallow hook line and sinker.
Some people, perhaps most, are reluctant to admit they "fell for it", were duped, and don't want to even discuss it. Is there ANY common ground, shared enthusiasms, e.g. sports, music, movies, TV shows?
I guess my advice is, if not, don't push it... just "leave the field" but pray for them (and unless faith in God is common ground, for sure don't tell them as it might sound arrogant or even spiteful).
But miracles happen, and there's nothing wrong with entreating Our Lord for that out of your love for them.
I have the same experience with friends and family. I can’t convince them and they look at ME like I’m the crazy one. I can barely tolerate some of my oldest friends. So sad
I left my 50th HS reunion this summer after 15 minutes of being approached by classmates who asked me if we knew each other…(while staring at my name tag that had my senior photo on it) convincing me that my cohort is adrift in brain fog/dementia. Or maybe confirming that I am in Portland (truth) 😳
We have the same family troubles as you in my wife's relations. And this is all by insidious design and it is a result of the war waged by the state against its people. And as a people, we still are under rule evil incarnate. However, we have graduated. We have been elevated out of the category of 'kooks, morons and idiots' into the category of 'suspicious people who might actually know something'.
Agreed - the mental conformity is just staggering. Lionel Shriver captured it brilliantly (and with some humour) in her new novel “Mania” - I find I need to read this kind of thing (along with C&C) for the sake of my sanity.
Thanks for the recommendation. Occasionally I find something to read or watch that is cathartic and inspiring. Recently it has been watching Charlie Kirk videos … seeing him listen with his whole heart and mind to brainwashed college kids, and seeing the dead look in their eyes turn to hopeful life when he shows them a path out of their lying leftist zombie state, is absolutely thrilling. I wish I could do that with my liberal friends, who remain Democratic Borg.
I know a Boomer in his late 60s. Smart guy, pretty well off, aka "rich." Has said point blank, "I don't want to live in a world where I think the government is trying to kill me."
Believes in vaxxes.
Then suddenly... for whatever reason, something snapped. He will no longer take ANY vaxxes, and becomes kind of hostile if you ask him why, which is completely out of chracter for him.
and you can add climate hysteria to that list - listing all of the impossibilities of a tiny, miniscule portion of the atmosphere having any effect on the climate doesn't sway the faithful in any way
I was reminded of this other side of the Covid coin this a.m. by a Parade magazine article featured on AOL News, helpfully ‘informing’ readers about this fall’s version and what to expect.
It ‘answered’ the question of whether or not to get the Covid booster and the flu shot at the same time. Their answer was ‘yes’ with the claim that since the ‘experts’ have had time to study the issue, they no longer recommend taking the Covid shots two weeks before or after other vaccines. They’ve decided it’s ‘safe and effective’ to take them simultaneously.
I don’t know what percentage of people are still listening to the ‘experts’ in health. I know many conservatives who still do. I don’t think arguing with them is very worthwhile anymore.
This group would be horrified if all vaccines were outlawed. This has to play into the approach taken by MAHA, unless mandated measures are taken to force change on these people.
They are now pushing an mRNA shot for high cholesterol. It’s called LEQVIO and the cardio doc is insisting that my mother take it, so I have to drive an hour today to attend that doc appointment with her so she doesn’t get bullied into it.
I hear you. I retired from a k-5 elementary school in October 2019 and moved away in 2020 right before the scamdemic hit. I have no doubt I would have lost all my friends and possibly been fired from my job had I still been there. I would have refused masking, preached the whole thing as a construct of enterprise fraud, and sided with kids who didn’t want to mask.
I had a conversation last night with a great “kid” (~24 years old) who I’ve known since he was a toddler. He’s profoundly curious and we always have the most interesting conversations. He was convinced to get the jab by his uncle, and he regrets it constantly. He said, “Why didn’t I talk to you about it more? I knew you did the research and I feel like I was duped.” I feel bad for him. 😞 He got the J&J and said, “at least my DNA isn’t f’ed up.” But he is the ONLY one I know who has been willing to admit he was fooled. I have other friends who were jabbed who didn’t WANT to be, but felt like they had to do it to keep their jobs. To me, that’s a little different. They are upset they didn’t stand up for themselves more, but they weren’t really “fooled.”
Medical and surgical intervention to “trans” a person need to be banned, not just for children, but for all human beings. People need psychological counseling, honesty (which is true compassion, even if they don’t like the truth), and redirection. A man cannot become a woman, and facing that reality is imperative in recovery from gender or body image delusions.
Nah. The left is the crowd that either mandates or bans things.
As long as people are of the age of majority (and sound mind, which trans does call into question) they are mostly free to screw themselves up however they want.
I just take exception to them doing it at OTHER PEOPLE's (taxpayers!) expense.
Banned might be a strong sounding word, but surgeons are not allowed to cut off someone’s arm if they wish to identify as an amputee. We can’t prescribe heroine to a patient who wishes to identify as an addict. We cannot just mutilate a patient because the patient requests it. So there are plenty of things in medicine that are “banned”, that’s just not a word used to describe it.
I'm mostly on Gail W's side but that's an excellent rebuttal. My rule is always err on the side of freedom, for adults. But your argument is good enough to make me think you may be right.
I went to a lecture about Ayn Rand and during question and answer session I stood up and announced I’m Bill, and I’m a “heroine addict”. I was careful to enunciate clearly.
Gail, if you worked for the guy my poor hubby works for, you might have a different opinion. Hub's boss is dealing with cancer (has been for almost a decade). He takes some damn female hormones to supposedly slow the growth of the cancer. Well, maybe it does, but it sure does make life Hell for himself and ALL who must interact with him, including family and even spouse. He is NOT mentally well. What's the good in extending your life if you're mentally toast? and not toast in a happy way -- toast in a mean, angry way! NOPE, female hormones do NOT belong inside men. NO. The patient may be unhappy but everyone else is utterly miserable.
Well, except for the fact that men already do have some estrogen just like women do naturally have some testosterone. That’s my understanding anyway. I think it would be more likely that ur hubbys boss is on a steroid of some type. My dad was on one for 40 years (today’s they’d treat him with Humira). But that made him a peach to live with but oh well. 🤪
Last week, I went to the funeral of a friend's daughter. When going through the receiving line, I hugged her oldest daughter whom I hadn't seen in a long time. I introduced myself to the man standing next to her, but didn't catch the name, just said "Nice to meet you." Later I was told that that was one of my friend's other daughters, post surgery and loads of male hormones. During the graveside as I stood at the back, I watched her and prayed for deliverance for her, that God would lift her out of the pit of deception. Such evil. Such demonic oppression. The enemy can deceive confused people into lopping off body parts to cause permanent damage, then he can just sit back and laugh maniacally. BUT GOD- Jehovah Rophe.
Heartbreaking, Janice. I had some friends at my church in Tulsa, where we lived until 5 years ago, whose older daughter decided she was really a boy. These people were strong Christians and they did nothing (that I know of) to encourage this in any way. My friend tried to tell her daughter the truth, and that likely she was feeling attraction to other girls, and that was the true issue. Sadly, the daughter turned 18 and had a full scholarship to college, so there was nothing they could do to prevent her from “transitioning”. Of course, the daughter also rejected Christ, which is what truly matters. Thanks for the reminder to pray for them all.
I have three friends with daughters doing this, and I have a nephew who calls himself Diana now. One of the friends’ daughters is “transitioning” to male while living with a male who pretends to be a girl. Huh? Just heartbreaking.
This was a short reaction video by a pastor. Charlie Kirk is compassionately addressing the need for honest counseling for these people with gender confusion. It touched my heart: https://youtube.com/shorts/naxletfKOks?si=RlD5eE2SMw1v-tLI
Are there really no laws against castration, especially of children? Or removing most of the healthy tissue of a young girl’s arm to make a fake, nonfunctional penis?
Commenting before reading because I don’t want this to get buried. A member of my family just got diagnosed with cancer and I mentioned the ivermectin fenbendazole treatment. The person might be open to it so I need some links to information on how it works/what the protocol is. Can anyone help me? Thank you!!
Running, another link from Justus R Hope shows 20 “top” repurposed drugs for cancer cure/prevention, with fenbendazole and ivermectin in the top 5. Most of the others are common items found in many people’s vitamin cabinet. Giving family member chance to pick and choose might make them more comfortable: https://www.onedaymd.com/2025/01/ranking-top-19-terminal-cancer.html
Having spent 6 years of my precious life tied to the medical complex dealing with an " incurable " rare blood cancer, I would urge anyone to take a serious look at the Tippens protocol. When/ if my cancer recurs, if I treat it, this is the first thing I'd consider. My best wishes to your family member.
My bride, being an rn, would never have done that. Not so sure it works on bone marrow cancer, which is basically a dna programming issue. Mine, I wouldn’t either. It’s again, dna programming issue. But if I were in an organ cancer mode, I certainly would go that route.
Cancer is cancer. Except for uterine and skin cancer, all cancer is systemic, so cutting out a tumor does not eliminate the cancer. What doctors call dozens or hundreds of different kinds of cancers is merely the other cells found in the tumor beside the cancer cells. When the body detects cancer proliferating, it starts producing en masse the same cells as where it is found ie. kidney, liver, a well as sending betaglucorinidase to neutralize the estrogen and other steroids that floods any area cancer is found .
FLCCC, now rebranded as Independent Medical Alliance, has a cancer care book authored by the esteemed (and roundly harassed by the medical establishment) Dr. Paul Marik. This book is available as a free download, link below. It is also available in print form from Amazon.
I have purchased this book and shared many copies, as well as directed people to the free download. Sometimes it is helpful to sit with a book (yes, am old school).
I also highly recommend David Servan Schreiber's "Anticancer A New Way of Life" It's a great read and the footnotes alone make the story even more interesting.
Dr. Makis (largely paywalled on Substack) uses a modified Tippens protocol. Here is his website. https://drmakismd.com/ He regularly posts success stories and is in a fight with the Canadian system, so could use the support. God bless!
Lifting your family member in prayer this morning! Whether God uses Ivermectin /Fenbendazole or outright supernatural miracle - I pray God draw your loved one to the Truth of His Word and salvation in Jesus Christ!
RunningLogic, I am so sorry your family is having to deal with this scourge. Praying for complete recovery. I saw the "Mr." has already recommended Dr. Makis as a resource. So I will just add to check out Nature Works Best in Tempe, AZ, which treats cancer with high dose nutrient IVs, with some other supportive modalities. The clinic is run by Dr. Colleen Huber - she has written a couple of books on cancer: "Choose Your Foods Like Your Life Depends on It" and "A Cancer Patient's Manifesto". She has also written books on Covid, but I think we are all pretty much on the same page here at C&C.
A family member had excellent results from the course of treatment there, and has passed the 5-year mark with No Evidence of Disease.
Dr. William Makis is supporting and studying people with diagnosed cancer (and possibly other conditions?) using ivermectin. If you message me with an email, I can forward you the introductory email he sent to me. Possibly the family member might feel reassured to work with a doctor who is actively studying and well-versed with successful use of the protocol.
Some of the text from the email: For an alternative medicine that is optimized to your case, consider signing up for the protocol package inorder to get the online source for the medication, prescription and follow up care.
A diagnosis of a cancer, neurological, or autoimmune disease is necessary before I can help.
To Clarify the Protocol Process,
The protocol is sent through email and it covers 3 months treatment plan. After filling the consent form, filling the intake form and making payment, i will do a full review of your case and provide you with a personalized protocol in about a week with recommended online sources to acquire the medications. I may prioritize your protocol depending on the urgency of your case. You will have email support throughout your treatment.
I and my staff strive to accommodate everyone in need in light of high demand.
Praying for your family member, as the list of people I know with medical maladies and illnesses continues to grow. I can see you’ve gotten lots of responses and links to resources from the C&C family. If you would, please document the path you take from here: the research, the choices, the effects and outcomes. I have a feeling many more people we know will find themselves in similar circumstances and it would be helpful to have more trusted information as they navigate these challenges. God bless 🙏
I am not sure I will be privy to the different steps the person takes as I am not a close family member but if I do find out I will see if I can share.
Paul Marik authored the book Cancer Care: The Role of Repurposed Drugs and Metabolic Interventions in Treating Cancer, a work that reviews literature on using existing drugs and metabolic strategies for cancer treatment.
Leading Edge Clinic, Dr. Kory's place is taking on patients with specific protocols based on individuals.
Dr. William Makis is a physician specializing in the treatment of cancer, and on his substack, he has posted repeatedly about all the cases he has helped. Most days he posts one "regular" post where there is news about a new study etc. and most days there is a 2nd post that is a testimonial from, say, somebody with stage 4 pancreatic cancer who took Ivermectin + fenbendazole and is now cancer-free. I think Dr. Makis likely has more experience with Ivermectin + fenbendazole than anyone in the world, and he has been a co-author of peer-reviewed research related to treating cancer with Ivermectin. He is Canadian but is being persecuted by the government who robbed his GoFundMe page, and is trying to imprison him for treating cancer effectively. His situation has been going on for much more than a year, and he recently had to leave Canada - his patients are no longer permitted to access their prescribed treatment - because of the government - and Makis is in Florida. I found Makis on the website of the Wellness Company here: https://www.twc.health/pages/dr-william-makis-copy?tw_source=google&tw_adid=735458697784&tw_campaign=22294953791&tw_kwdid=kwd-2080854521921&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22294953791&gbraid=0AAAAAo7gK_Iz5k14Dh1yJhF30hAm9AFxu&gclid=CjwKCAjw6P3GBhBVEiwAJPjmLuhOLjrklkduHz8wmMJCes1Q12OXaQnw5-oe5g5FekHuBGfU7Fe-4BoCJxwQAvD_BwE Suggest you could try to contact him through The Wellness Company. I don't know if he is licensed in US but for a good while he has been saying he can consult with your doctors who are the ones giving treatment, now that he's in the US maybe he will get licensed in Florida and stay - that would be great. It is still possible to get Fenbendazole rather inexpensively through Amazon, I have seen recommendations for the Merck brand product that is for goats, for $30-something for a bottle. You can get both Ivermectin and fenbendazole through All Family Pharmacy in Florida, and they have a doctor who will do telemed very inexpensively to authorize a prescription. The prices are not bad, though there are other options, but this is any easy source for me to remember - but the thing is, the doctor used by this pharmacy is not necessarily a cancer expert - and I would think the dose could vary by what type of cancer, what stage and so on - I am a retired healthcare professional but this was not my speciality and I would not make a recommendation for cancer, and I don't think it is necessarily one size fits all. But you can get both Ivermectin and fenbendazole from All Family Pharmacy at https://allfamilypharmacy.com/ 10% off if you use the code RETURN10 which is a code I got from and ad by Matt Gaetz (they may ask how you found the code - they have different affiliates, but this code was from Matt Gaetz). Someone else mentioned Dr. Marik's cancer info, but not sure it was the same resource I am familiar with - I think anyone with concern related to concern would benefit from looking at Dr. Marik's "Cancer Care" here: https://imahealth.org/research/cancer-care/ This appears to be the 2nd edition of this booklet, and on page 92 starts a couple pages on Ivermectin, on page 94, a section on Fenben & related meds, and there is a strong recommendation for both Iver. & Fenben. In addition, there is a lot of good information, diet, vitamins, and more.
I think there's a facebook group (of all things) for My Cancer Story Rocks (or something to that effect) where they talk about this and other options people have tried, as well as their experiences.
The IMA (Independent Medical Alliance—imahealth@substack.com——formerly the FLCCC that helped so many during Covid) has several posts regarding alternative treatments that help traditional treatments work better.
Your Scripture selections are always on target and so relevant. Thank you.
Verses 14 & 15 are very applicable to my mind-struggles today regarding the murder of Charlie Kirk.
What I am seeing on the internet postings is alarming and questions the CK Event which I saw live on the event programming.
Do I believe my eyes or am I being deceived? Do I believe the eyewitness reports and the testimonial of Frank Turek retelling of his experience as he was with CK?
Do I believe the amazing Holy Spirit led memorial service for CK was real?
Just days after the killing, all the conspiracy theories came out - the path of the wicked.
To name a few that are running amuck on Lying Eyes Highway:
CK is not really dead. It is a psych op for his protection and his family.
CK is dead and it was a CIA operation akin to JFK's assassination.
CK is dead and it was a Mossad operation.
Snipers prove how the kill shot could have not come from Robertson's gun and the roof.
It was not really CK who was shot. It was Ai and a Hologram of CK.
So, my conclusion is only the Word of God is true.
The Charlie Kirk Effect is true, and I rejoice that God is using CK's legacy to impact the world in spreading the Gospel of Jesus the Christ.
I choose not to waste any more time on the theory trails but stay on His Narrow Path.
Janice, you and Jeff C. bring such clarity and blessings!
Very sound choice Elaine. Fix your eyes on Jesus and stay on the narrow path. Do not turn to the left or to the right. It’s all a distraction from the most important news of all time. 🙏
I personally believe what we heard about Charlie is not that simple or all true. I guess that makes me a conspiracy theorist but I am not on the path of the wicked nor are some others. Please don't lump us all into the evil pile.
There are so many misrepresentations about this assassination that people are pointing everywhere looking for the truth. I don’t believe it was a single shooter. There’s no footage showing he had the gun on the roof even though they have it. They said he was suicidal but he wasn’t and the story about his dad turning him in was a lie. So we’re being lied to. Also why haven’t they shown what the bullet was. The one from that gun would have blown CK’s head off. His neck bones aren’t cement, I’m sorry. And then the old dude in the crowd acting as a decoy. This was a total operation and there was a coverup of some sort involved.
I've been disgusted and horrified by the posts about Charlie Kirk's death from supposed "conservative Christians." All these outlandish conspiracy theories will be a huge benefit to the defense when the shooter's case eventually goes to trial. Sadly, too many people (jurors included!) will have heard these theories on social media, so all the defense has to do is muddy the waters with them.
It's really true when you think about it. DJT did not need this @#$%^ Like he often said, he had a great life before he took on saving the ENTIRE frigging world! I think he might become as remembered in history as a figure like Genghis Kahn (but for opposite reasons.)
I fully trust the media... to put out propaganda and lie for the leftist demoncrats and all of their causes, every time. Interesting, but not surprising chart that 51% of demoncrats think it's trustworthy. It boggles the mind the numbers of people that cannot think critically at all, but just accept that the sky is purple because its what they want to hear, even when they are staring at reality. A cautionary tale for everyone though.
MSM indeed suffers incurable TDS. Especially after having their pants sued right off of them.
They are beside themselves about having lost control to alt media, conservative talk radio, (and Fox to some degree) and no longer being able to control the narrative. They are reaping their just rewards. Whiny babies. 😫😫😫
I suspect a good number of those subscribers are astroturfed, or perhaps somehow tied to an NGO somewhere to pump up the writings w/ some sort of money to make them look better and try to get more eyes / lend some air of credibility.
Substack is most likely getting turfed with the same behind the scenes people who took over reddit and made it a leftist bitching post (pardon my language, but the pun still stands). It's up to us to stand our ground instead of abandoning yet another solid platform for the wilderness again.
The great thing here on Substack as opposed to X is that you can BLOCK them and you can also MUTE them. Yeahh. I do it frequently. I do both. I do one and then the other.
Pfizer is a criminal drug cartel. Why didn't our president bomb them instead of making a deal with them and praising them?? (Not even sure I am kidding.)
Trump is always a few steps ahead. In case trade with China gets cut off he wants to onshore all drug manufacturing, a lot of which is currently done in China. With Pfizer, who is the largest drug maker in the world, cutting a deal to build factories in the US the other makers will fall in line and also open factories here. Trump and RFK can then weed out the bad stuff. The Pros include more jobs for Americans, easier legal action against domestic drug makers, reliability of drug supply in future if international crisis happens, Control of drug supply is easier onshore, etc. So it might take a few years before Pfizer gets hammered but in the meantime Trump has solved some other problems with other people footing the bill.
It’s hard to do that directly or fast. Ok. Think about it. We still have a huge portion of the population “addicted” to these “vaccines” and to numerous pharmaceuticals. They honestly think it is a life or death issue and I have heard them say it !!! So do we cold turkey them or do it slowly? Trump, if you look what he and RFK are doing, ..they are doing it slowly. Sit tight as I believe it’s happening.
Our kids are being poisoned with these gender-drugs. It hooks them to pharmaceutical companies for life, destroys their bodies, and now appears to destroy their minds (imagine that). This lunacy has to stop. Medical personnel - and I use that term very loosely - must stop using these drugs under threat of law. I hate to say it would be different if they only killed themselves, but they go forward and kill others. This giant Frankenstein experiment has to be declared illegal.
The gender drugs most often are accompanied by psych drugs, which I suspect is what is setting them off, tied with the virtual delusional pathway by which they are brought into a world in which they think the crazy plans make sense.
Agreed! The defense should be "not guilty by reason of insanity", THEN go after the doctors who prescribed the drugs to this young man; fine, revoke licenses and jail!
One of my "warrior woman" friends (she was the Lancaster county director of our FreePA personal/medical freedom activist group) recently authored an article in an AZ publication (the Prickly Pear) about the violence being committed by our young people who are taking SSRI's. One of the bits of factual information she shares in the article is that ALL of the "mass shootings" and "assassination attempts" committed in the past several years were committed by young people who were "sexually transitioning" and taking loads of hormonal "adjusting" drugs. Here's a link to the article...very disturbing to the point of WHY AREN'T OUR OFFICIALS CREATING LAWS TO PROHIBIT SEXUAL TRANSITIONING PRACTICES? (Of course, we who have even a modicum of critical thinking skills know "why"--because there's too much money being made by doctors, hospitals and huge pharma and these 'elements' within our society lobby the governmental officials to 'protect' this diabolical 'public health effort'! Despicable despots--the LOT OF 'EM!!)
Agree! As I mentioned in another comment, these interventions should be banned in children and adults. I know the libertarian argument (I have a bit of libertarian in me) is that we should just let adults do whatever harmful things they want to do to themselves… but these interventions are heinous and devastating to mind, body and soul… and society. So no, doctors should not be allowed to prescribe drugs or do surgery for the imaginary purpose of “changing a man into a woman” or vice versa.
I remember reading a fiction(?) novel way back in the 80-90's (?) that dealt with this exact scenario. The basic gist was a teen was on some kind of drug to address behavior issues and then committed mass murder. The parent was trying to find someone to see if there was a connection with new prescription drugs the kid was on. Not sure if it was a John Grisham novel. Not fiction now!
Have you noticed how movie makers and culture propagandists 'foretell' cultural calamities sometimes DECADES before they occur? I believe it has to do with 'energy vibrations - EVERYTHING in this universe consists of energy and the energy exuded by these "thoughts" propagates ACTION and EVENTS generations later--truly!! I've seen it in my 78 years on "Planet Earth".
“According to the most recent Gallup poll, only a paltry 28% of Americans say they have a great deal or a fair amount of trust in the mass media, which is down from a solid 68% in 1972. That figure has never in history fallen below 30%.”
Americans are distrusting not only media, but medicines, public science, and more.
They haven’t produced any of the outcomes they’ve stated they would.
We’re in more debt, things are more expensive—and this is from Baby Boomers to Gen Z.
True that Americans are becoming more distrusting of 'institutions' and so THEY MUST BECOME MORE SELF-RELIANT. Americans need to become responsible again.
I am all for paying these government workers to just stay home for good and don't do *any* work. Just play games and go on vacations. In the long run, it would be less expensive for all of us in more ways than I can count. It would also prove to the people that *we do not need* a giant government. We do not need the biggest government in world history ruling over us and micromanaging every part of our lives.
Yeah but that would almost justify free government money, when we can prove it’s cheaper to give them money than let them play at work, wrecking things.
..."28% of Americans say they have a great deal or a fair amount of trust in the mass media...." Experts are baffled. One translation: 28% of Americans are still wearing filthy face rags. That checks out. Another: 28% of Americans shouldn't be allowed to vote, drive or be left unsupervised with a slinky. I think higher.
"The market broke new records yesterday...." Experts are baffled.
Nicolas “Sophie” Roske is delusional....Experts are baffled.
It's the gift that keeps on giving.
Just a quick update: It’s been a little over a week since would-be Trump assassin Ryan Routh - having skipped some of the more important chapters in "Harikiri for Dummies" - attempted to peacefully thrust a pen through his neck. I just got back from a well visit and I’m happy to report that the pen is doing fine, resting comfortably in an Office Depot rehabilitation center. Mr. Bic will be retiring from public service and is currently dating a short and sassy #2 Ticonderoga pencil from the Trump International Golf Club...having found his long-time Paper Mate. Mr. Routh, as fate would have it, remains in the pen.
Happy Friday!
That’s what I love most about experts: they are simultaneously baffled AND know- it- alls. Figures.
"We don't know what causes autism but know it isn't the thing that pays us the most money with zero legal risk...because - Science."
As Steve Kirsch would say, "because that's how science works these days"
"Forbidden Facts" by Gavin De Becker is a hoot too! https://www.amazon.com/s?k=forbidden+facts&i=stripbooks&crid=RMX9QQVFWPFW&sprefix=forb%2Cstripbooks%2C198&ref=nb_sb_ss_p13n-expert-pd-ops-ranker_1_4
You got that right! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ versus it might kill you. “It might kill you” wins every time.
It's that old risk/benefit analysis. They benefit while we risk!
Good one!
It's like their heads are on backwards.
The brains are scrambled, like my morning eggs.
Except eggs are good for you.
Also, cheap protein. Plus, easy to cook in my favorite appliance, the microwave.
Ugh! Yes affordable protein, but you're killing all benefits zapping them in the microwave
And so rich in B vitamins! Do you buy pasture eggs?
That used to be hyperbole.
Clown world appears to be a perpetual-motion machine that generates hyperbole, and runs on it.
My dad called them’s as such—Pissants.
Here I thought the problem was that their head were stuck somewhere that’s dark, if you know what I mean and I think that you do.
(I do, but I'm hoping you don't mean that I know because it's dark where my head is... and I think you don't. :^D)
😂😂😂😂😂
Or they are upside down
I had completely overlooked that possibility, but that would explain why they appear to be talking out of their <not-mouths>.
A profound observation. Someone should make that into a meme.
Child poking eye with stick. "Ow!" <Baffled>
“Sinko de Mayo” 🤣
… hey, you sunk my battleship !
Aaaand -- poke, and repeat... "Ow!" <Baffled x ∞>
H II, more perfect yet. As in, one of those "animated-GIF" thingys.
I did find a GIF figure, with scissors, and actually saying "Ow!" But I could not for the life of me figure out how to share it. Ah well...

-change it to like x0.4 speed, it works fairly well...
HAHAHA!! 😂 DO it!!
I prefer flummoxed. Baffled can be used to describe baffles being installed. Flummoxed if I’m not mistaken, or baffled, only has one meaning.
As far as I know, in Australia, a "flummox", or "flummux" can also refer to a person being flummoxed (confused or bewildered). So an "expert" can also be a "flummox". I like that..
Pfizer makes flummoxifen which has some baffling side effects.
🤣
Still guffawing. 🤣🤣🤣
LMFAO!!
I did not know that! Ty!
I choose bamboozled
1. : to deceive by underhanded methods : dupe, hoodwink. I got bamboozled by the salesperson to buy a more expensive model. 2. : to confuse, frustrate, or throw off thoroughly or completely.
That’s one of the words I’m quite fond of and so I don’t want to lose my affection for it by using it to describe those idiots.
It’s their unique talent 😑
They are really good at knowing it isn't their fault in any possible way.
As a diehard supporter of Dixon Ticonderoga #2 (the best erasers, cuz I'm the best at needing them), I approve of this message. One Christmas, Santa Claus put ten boxes of same in my stocking. And I don't mean in my childhood.
Agree, still loooove pencils and pens (even while utilizing keyboard). Recently read that actual writing, pencil/pen to paper, improves memory retention and understanding. Was fortunate to realize and utilize early in life, as a way to understand school lessons of all kinds. For example, would copy music to memorize - drawing out the stave/staff, penciling in the notes. That stuff is stuck in there even today. And am over 60 years from childhood.
I know this is a departure from the stream...Im 73 and I was taught the 'helping verbs" when I was 12, in the 7th grade through writing repetition. With a pencil as big as a horses leg. I can't remember what I had for breakfast but I can remember: is, be, been, am, are, was were, has, have, had, do, does, did, may, can might, could, must, shall, will, should, would.
Love this!! In a similar vein, I know someone who, during a Spanish vocab test, had to conjugate the Spanish verb "ser" which means "to be". After translating *"ser" -- "to be", this high IQ person proceeded to write: I be, you be, they be, we be! We still laugh about it... well, I still laugh about it.
*Edited to correct the Spanish word, because I have forgotten basic high school Spanish. 😂🤣
Mrs. "the Knife"
I still conjugate Latin.
Amo, amas, amat, amamas, amatas, amant. Not sure I can still translate them all though. 😂🤣😂🤣 (I love, you love, he/she/it loves, they love, you (plural) love, we love. I think)
Me too! I met my future husband in Latin 1.
Do you still enjoy rattling off all the cases for nouns in Latin? Ablative, dative, nominative, genitive, accusative, and vocative. They should still teach Latin.
"amamUs, amatIs" ---(your on-line Latin teacher here)--but good for you! And, you are correct in your remembering of the words' meanings.
As a former high school Spanish teacher, I appreciate this!!
Being a sometimes visitor to Mexico when i was young.... the most important Spanish i learned was :
Donde esta el bano
I probably should have also learned , "what was that i ate ?"
sorry, but the verb 'ir' is to go.
The verb to be has two versions in Spanish.
'Ser', which is to be in the permanent sense, characteristics, etc.
and
'Estar', which is to be in the sense of location or more temporary states, emotions etc.
Thank you! My high school Spanish seems like a hundred years ago, and like they say, use it or lose it!

I remember in elementary school we spent a lot of time on the irregular verb forms, which tend to be the most common words. Lately, it sure seems like those forms are disappearing even among supposedly educated people as you will not only hear but sometimes read things like "I have went", "I should have knew" and so on. The "helping" words have remained but the irregular participle forms are rapidly disappearing and the simple past form is being substituted. I wonder if the participle forms are even taught these days? I remember having to recite and write verb groups like go-went-gone, know-knew-known, see-saw-seen, etc.
There's actually not that many of them to learn, so it's sad how the language is disintegrating in this area.
Yes, and the supposedly educated journalists are not even corrected by their supposedly educated editors. Sometimes when reading a paragraph, snort to self wondering if they even know the extent to which the author(s) are exposing their lack of command of the English language. They are paid to write this drivel and we are expected to accept it. Quite disappointing.
They don’t teach diagramming sentences anymore. I’ve heard educated people say “I seen.” And “a lot” is usually spelled as one word. Also, forget about lie and lay. “Spot, lay down.” Ugh.
And then there's the constant confusion over its and it's! This stuff drives me nuts!
It's bad enough that spelling and grammar have been skipped but the one that really makes me crazy is lack of punctuation! Those little marks often make a difference in understanding what has been written. And, now I sound like an old fuddy-dud - oh yeah, I am! :)
Oh, I'm with you. Talking to (for the most part) younger people is like having dialog in a 1950's movie with a jungle tribal leader. Even watching the news the talking heads always miss use the participle form of so many words. I taught my kids that if they learned to make change in their heads, they'll rule the world.
I totally agree.
One of my pet peeves is the "have went" that has went and took over our English grammar and is in the process of destroying it.
It grieves me...
I "done seen" and I "done went" are two of mine. Actually, there are too many to list because there are so many that are prevalent these days.... UGH! They have completely butchered the English language! I heard a teacher say they can no longer correct poor English because it's "racist to force minorities to speak like we do...."
"I seen" will send me into a tailspin. My biggest pet peeve is bad grammar (along with gum snapping).
It seems not much really useful stuff is taught unless you have a very narrow focus in college, i.e., technology - coding!
Fantastic!
I, the same. I keep a large (Mead, 5-Star) notebook for recording my daily garden activities: what, where, how much, how long…. And insist on making my entries using my Tic. #2. I learned the hard way, much too late for my own school value (but not for my students’ benefit) that in order to learn something, you actually have to do something with that information. Write it, draw it, sing it, dance it…..Doing an ESL cert. program 15 years ago, came across some “expert’s” contention that using hand-written flashcards was the most effective way to learn foreign language vocabulary. I beg to differ, as I saw that my own students benefitted most from our daily chanting and singing of our (Latin) vocabulary and grammar, although I continued to require that they make flashcards.
This! Four years ago when I was trying to investigate nutrition, the standard American diet (SAD,) the truth about our food supply today, and learn the Keto diet, I literally filled an entire 5-subject, college ruled notebook, not counting all the printouts of online information which filled a few file folders. I likened it to college level studying. The impact after I finished is I had to reference my notes at most for a month and never again because it transferred so well to my brain. I could literally teach a course right now of low carb dieting, the many medical positives of it, and how to overcome typical reasons of failure to stick with it. All because of my handy, dandy pens/pencils and notebook engraving facts into my brain.
We’re doing keto since my husband was told he had type two which he has now reversed.
I remember many years ago reading that the act of writing something down has some kind of neurological effect on your brain that results in learning.
Good for both of you - especially Hubby in reversing the Type 2!
Veni, vedi, veci.

I appreciate your hard work!!
Took two years of drafting in high school. Loved it. Always a mechanical pencil with a pointer. I think I finally threw out my pointer in the last decade. lol.
Staedler with sharpener.
2b or not 2b, that is the question.
Me too. Second year, I was sharing report card grades with my buddy Andy and the teacher, Tony Torriello, happened by. He exclaimed "(my name), I didn't know you were smart. I'd never mess up a nice report card like that If I had known. " I had straight "A's", and a B in Mechanical Drawing. I smiled at my friend, and he shook his head disgusted, and envious. We both knew all I had to do was finish the assignments, and I would be guaranteed "A''s" the rest of the year. Torriello had once come in late and told the class he had been called to the office to justify why all the football players got "A's" . He was an assistant coach. "Can I help it if football players seem to have a knack for mechanical drawing?"
Palomino. Blackwing 602.
Ebony pencils for expression, and Ticonderoga for data recirding!
Yes, yes, yes—ebony pencils!!!
My favorites too!
The only pencils I really like are colored ones for drawing. Regular pencils not so much. My passion is pens. Smooth writing.
Fountain pen only!
Oh! I LOVE fountain pens! I have a ton of them, too.
But where to have them serviced? Mine are vintage. Know any vintage repair people in Florida?
I'm a leftie and I detest most ball points. Righties pull the pen, lefties push the pen. It's not designed for pushing. Hmm...does "pen-pusher" then only apply to the left-handed?
I've only ever heard of "pencil pushers."
You may be right. Perhaps I coined a phrase?
Pencils smell good.
Have a box of those in my kitchen drawer😎
I think most of do who love writing utensils!!
Agree 💯. I love my pens and pencils
😂🤣 Not in your childhood.
My Dad had tons of pencils and pens. You guys would have gotten along. 😉😊😋
Are these Dixon Ticonderoga's better that "Pink Pearl's?"
Because I was told to buy "Pink Pearls."
Isn’t pink pearl the big eraser?
They're the ones I had to buy for drafting class.
This was before the turn of the century . . .
I have never experienced “Pink Pearls”….
They are the ones shaped like a parallelogram.
As I mentioned to LamedVav, we used them in drafting class back in the 1900s.
I realize now--yes, I am well familiar with them, but having forgotten them, had thought the Pink Pearls comment referred to pencils, not erasers. Thanks for your comment, Tom. What a thread this has become!
Now let's talk about the woke political suppression of the Big Chief tablet!
This Routh report makes me a bit "pen"sive, Eric!!

Eric - You & Jeff, twins, separated at birth. Thanks for the cleverness! Love to laugh!
My husband said he was called ‘pencil neck’ in school. Not being from around here, I thought that was a compliment. (Love me a Venus #2 pencil!)
The only pencil neck I know of these days is Adam Schiff, that slimy, lying reptilian senator from California. I think Gutfeld was who started calling him that.
Where I live it's "pencil neck geek"! :)
Eric, lately your musing are leaving me a bit pensive. Perhaps a small penalty for a penchant I have for the way you pen your thoughts in multiple - sometimes converging - streams of penetrating truth. May the pen always be with you!
LMAO!
The polycrisis psyop is working. Everyone distracted.

With how often “experts” are openly baffled, how can they be called experts any longer??
Hahaha. Good for the pen!
Yes, he's resting comfortably. None the worse for wear.
So what exactly are the so called “ experts” expert at? Inquiring minds want to know🤔
"So what exactly are the so called “ experts” expert at? Inquiring minds want to know🤔"

Funny, punny ending…well done, TIH.
Nicely done!

There’s been a divide in my family since Covid. Between the jabs, the stolen election and Jan 6th in particular, I find it hard to really feel close to any old friends and family who were brainwashed by this nonsense and who expressed credulity at me challenging them to think otherwise. I tried repeatedly to provide objective and transparent factual data on all of these subjects to broaden their understanding and awareness of how they’ve been badly abused and manipulated with distorted facts and limited information or lies by omission. Regardless of these efforts I’ve made zero headway convincing anyone of anything. The mental conformity and cognitive dissonance seems permanent. TDS is real. I’m not sure where we go from here!
It's like arguing with an addict -- you cannot convince them, they must FIRST BE READY to ACKNOWLEDGE their condition. You can only grieve the loss of the relationship that you thought you once had.
Gail, I also think of it as arguing with Ward Cleaver who's living in his 1950s Cleaver world where everything was fine until you moved in next door and started trying to talk to him about "color teevee" and "government corruption." He just shuts down. It's too much to hear. It means "everything wasn't perfect, like he always thought it was." It means he's at least partly to blame because he wasn't watching and was too trusting. And he really needs you to "shut up right about now..." Even if you do, he knows "something's just not right" in Cleaver world.
I have the same issue with family members. They believe so much that isn’t true, to coin a phrase from Reagan. They refuse to listen and discuss (which they call arguing or confrontational). They can’t articulate their beliefs so they spout talking points they’ve heard on MSM. No thinking involved. What happened is that the relationships I thought I had with family members were inauthentic, and Covid revealed that.
What I experienced with my extended family happened pre-COVID and destroyed any chance of a relationship going forward. But because of that I know exactly how things would be today if I had been in their life. None of them spent the time needed to think and analyze anything, but even if they had it would have failed them because they had no plumb line. I measure everything against the wisdom of God’s word given to us in the Bible, the one true plumb line. That also became a threat to them. So when we clashed with our perspectives, I was able to offer thoughtful logic and reasoning, and they constantly accused me of being overly opinionated. I often would have one SIL tell me “well I’m not as educated as you so it’s impossible to argue with you and not worth my time.” And then she’d proceed to cut me out of their life. -_- I never once bragged about my education or behaved in a superior way, but my ability to offer sound reasoning was a threat to them and no different than braggadocio. The only way to not be a “braggart” or “arrogant” was to keep my thoughts to myself. In the end what mattered to all of them was not the truth but the control of any narrative. When they started to bully me and I called them out on it, I threatened their control. The only way they could maintain control was to banish me and my children from the family for eternity. And as soon as they had an opportunity to turn one of my children against me they greedily took it knowing it would shatter my heart - and they reveled in that.
So I can relate to the pain others have experienced during COVID. Prior to COVID no one understood my agony and predicament, and most believed I must be the problem if it’s happening with every family member. I was told that more times than I could count even though in my heart I knew it wasn’t true. It was very lonely to go through. Now I have millions who can empathize with me.
Oh Juju, I’m so sorry. My son married a girl from NYC and became one of them. We talk but it’s not the same. When my grandchildren found out I voted for Trump they were devastated, crying and showing how much they hate Trump. Mind you, an 8 and 12 yr old. It was so much drama that my son wasn’t going to let them stay with us for a few days over the summer. So much hate. They did get to come over but there was a cloud over everything. I feel your pain
That’s so sad 😢😢😢
Juju, I'm sorry to hear this is your reality 🙏💕
Aw thx but no need. I went through the pain of it years ago and have since learned to be at peace with it. I share it often though because it helps to know others fully understand from a personal experience.
I empathize unfortunately!!!!!!!!!
Sorry to hear that, Juju, and hope that you are finding replacements for the ones who aren't worth your time or trouble!
Same here. It sparked such a split within my family that they pulled up stakes and moved back to Seattle so they could live in their echo chamber. The rest of us are here going 🤷♀️
I can testify that Seattle has a super powerful echo chamber
I lived in Seattle in 1969-70 and my daughter was born there. It USED TO be nice. Emphasis on "used to."
Wow.
Same for me. I refer to Mark Twains ' saying "It isn't what you don't know that is going to kill you. It's what you think you know for sure that just ain't so".
After they run out of talking points it’s Hitler or fascist. At that time I think they are yelling “you big poopy pants” .
I wonder if you tried reasoning through non-controversial matters if they could be taught to think.
Getting even one of them to change their mind would be like winning the lottery or being struck by lightning.
My friend said because Bobby isn’t a doctor, why should we believe him. Not a clue what Secretary of HHS actually does. I did correct her nicely.
I get "That's a conspiracy theory" or "Studies don't show that" or even "We vaccinate in this family!" People aren't willing to consider that what they've been told, is wrong. Let alone that the information came from gov't authorities. I think it's become threatening to self to be wrong. Then it becomes "What do I do now?"
you cannot convince someone through reasoning if they did not arrive at their position using reason. It's that simple, sadly. As all of us here know, they start with talking points, then when that clearly fails , they resort to personal attacks. It's all they have, and nothing terrifies them more than having their most precious beliefs shattered.
Thanks for the suggestion. The question is, what’s non-controversial these days?
Indeed: I wrote a post in June titled "You know the country is f*cked when even the weather is controversial" (talking about weather manipulation).
PNew, THAT might be A Way. Nothing comes to mind immediately however that can't be immediately made controversial. But I do think you are Right. (There must be Something we could reason together about.)
Debra, I'm sorry to hear this. I call this living in the "COVID world." You can't unlearn what we've learned & it has been life changing!
Yep, I think you're referring to cognitive dissonance.
It's like teaching a pig to sing. It's frustrating and it annoys the pig!
I use the comparison of trying to argue with a drunk person. And it makes just as much sense.
Had a T shirt that said exactly that. My daughter liked it and took it.
😂
Yes. I just couldn't remember the phrase. So I had to write a lot of gibberish about Ward Cleaver instead.
(When you think about it, "cognitive dissonance" might've been coined to be intentionally hard to remember.)
I rather like your Cleever analogy. I work with staff all day in a health care setting and still want to scream into a pillow listening to their excitement over the “new flu/covid vax “.
Almost once a week one of my friends/ colleagues announces proudly they just got their flu/ Covid booster/ RSV vaccines all together!
Weird
Are the boosters on now? Time is running away so fast. I gotta limit my contact with a few people now.
I love Leave it to Beaver reruns!
Leave it to Beaver with Hugh Beaumont....Barbara Billingsly.......Tony Dow.......and Jerry Mathers as the Beav. It never gets old.
🤣That is ok. I'm happy to be your translator. You might just need more caffeine this morning. 😀
I am on decaf, and elsewhere on this thread I'm pushing tea. I think I just need more blood.
Yep , that made me laugh. 😂👍
I like the Ward Cleaver “gibberish” because “cognitive dissonance” as a term is becoming overused like so many others in a way that it stunts meaning. Like “ADHD” or “Autism Spectrum” or “bullying” all ceased to maintain the seriousness and understanding behind each term. Ward Cleaver gives a much needed refresher for understanding. I think I’ll reuse your analogy where I can. 👍
"...with apologies to Ward, and Hugh Beaumont" as I should have made clear.
Ward would have come around (I can't see "progressives" wanting his like), but it would have taken some time. I hope we would have been patient enough to convince him.
Like those parents of autistic children who are mad that Trump and Kennedy are researching causes. How dare they, their children are perfect, and “when they invented the telescope they found more stars” BS. It’s nuts.
"Ward, don't you think you were a little hard on the Beaver last night?'. Priceless
Painfully true!
True and tragic, but we all need to get out of our echo chambers, reunite with lost family and friends, agree to productively disagree, and work together to filter out the noise and chaos that subvert the truth and divide us. Let’s keep trying to rebuild bridges. “Be encouraged in heart and united in love.” Colossians 2:2
I had both reasonable and unreasonable horses in my lifetime. Those who continued to try to kick or bite me were eventually sold to someone with more patience than me.
I suspect that most of those suffering TDS took not only the jab, but took many of them. And so, they won't long be with us. Since Aug. '23 I've been collecting the obit page from a small-town Maine newspaper, readership about 7500. For a while, back in '22, '23, two pages were needed to list the weekly deaths. The obituary section had more recently returned to showing the deaths of only the ones (which I would consider) really eligible for natural death: by age or accident. The current edition shows a number of "suspicious" deaths--too young, too sudden. Also, a death in the VA hospital. As Kathleen Janoski famously quips about the VA pushing shots: "Giving American veterans one more chance to die for their country."
Speak of the Devil, where has KJ been lately? She has been unusually quiet.

I noticed that.
Same working in the medical profession… just saw a meme on facebook - picture of surgeon in scrubs praying, and the caption says “every orthopedic surgeon praying that the flat-earthers don’t come after ancef like they did Tylenol”. (Ancef is an antibiotic used very frequently in orthopedic surgery)… I just yelled at my screen… “ hey dumb dumb, Tylenol didn’t go away, you can prescribe it all you want.
Don’t get me started on everyone’s reaction to Ivermectin. This was one of the areas I tried in earnest to address because I assumed it was a less charged subset of a hot button issue - with huge upside if I could get my parents and siblings to take it. But no, apparently it’s either “completely ineffective” or “exceedingly dangerous” - all that meta analysis from over 80 studies at the time (2021-2022) be damned. 🙄
And the Nobel prize 🙄
And something like 4 billion doses over a period of 40 years. On the WHO’s list of essential medicines so, essentially, a wonder drug (or it was before covid.)
Exactly.
My ex survived a stage 4 turbo cancer that emerged two weeks after his second jab. Now living with the threat of prostate cancer. He won't even read the newly emerging studies on Ivermectin and fenbendazole that I send him.

Yes, and it's my contention that all those admitted to emergency wards who were "having difficulty with breathing" (credited as symptomatic of "Covid") were under the spell of that fear, and not a virus.
when I had covid in early March of 2020, that was the ONE symptom I did not have-- difficulty breathing. (Age 58 at the time.) ALL the others, I had, especially loss of taste and smell. But nope, couldn't be seen bc i didn't fit their pattern. Pfbbbt!

Jo Highet:
I will never give up my ivm horse paste which I take (weight appropriate dose) anytime I feel illness coming on and occasionally as a prophylactic.
Just yesterday I woke up feeling under the weather; brain fog, tummy aches, nausea, etc. So I drank lots of water, and had a couple glasses of fresh raw milk throughout the day rather than food.
Then, last night I had all over body aches, feverish, headache, felt really bad.
I've had autoimmune arthritis in the past, So I took a Celebrex, a hot shower, and rubbed DMSO on the soles of my feet and on my knees and lower back (which were aching) and went to bed.
Sometime in the middle of the night I turned a corner and I woke up feeling like my old self this morning!
I'm certain I fought off some nasty virus (I had traveled to Salem, MA over the weekend from FL,) and I'm so grateful for my "snake oil" cures like ivermectin, DMSO & raw A2 milk!
Snake oil is very good for you. It’s pure omega-3 essential fatty acids.
Maybe they all read the Surgisphere Corp's entry in the New England Journal of Medicine or the Lancet! (Oops, that was taking down hydroxychloroquine, wasn't it?)

If Ancef was taken off market, it really would shake up the ortho world!! They'd have to learn a whole new antibiotic...or maybe not, I guess that's what internal medicine consults are for ; )
Or use the wonder drug aspirin
Does anyone even take that anymore? I never hear it mentioned at all; "tylenol" replaced Aspirin I think, as the go-to pain and fever killer.
Aspirin is also a blood thinner, which is why I am not allowed to take it. I live with a brain condition where I have microscopic brain bleeds on a regular basis. Fortunately, I am rarely in pain, so I have no need for pain relievers.
I got a peptic ulcer on 2 a day leading to severe anemia this last year. I had no history suggesting I had a bleeding risk.

Just had a family friend die of turbo cancer. Funeral is tomorrow. Her immediate family wouldn't even try fenbendzole. Husband says he is getting the latest flu and Covid jabs next week.
Parents did the same - except when they went in they got 4 shots!! Covid, flu, RSV and shingles!! 😱
No. No. No. No.
Oh no 😞
Exactly what I just said to myself.
My son’s MIL (die hard Dem voted for Biden then Kamala) was so excited to go get her bundle of vaccines and then post on FB. She’s totally delusional. I’m surprised she’s still ‘kicking’ cause she’s always ready for any booster they push. However, I did notice last time I saw her, she has the shakes real bad and never before had this issue.
The shakes are from climate change!
A good gym pal now has Parkinson's. He is fully jabbed and boosted, and had no issues prior.
See above. Climate change. omgomgomgomg HOW can so many people be so brainwashed?????????
And then there is an 85 year old at my gym in the greatest of shape for his age (most would guess he's in his mid 70s), slim and trim, working out there 3x per week, a pretty good conservative EXCEPT he has had something like 9 jabs so far. A real outlier I guess, but I'd say he's pushing his luck.
Yes, several 70+ in my gym too, fully jabbed and boosted...
The effects may be subtle, and not noticeable until a real problem comes up.
One gal had a UTI go septic, fast. One as mentioned got Parkinson's. One is always complaining about a cold they can't seem to get rid of.
I recommend all fully jabbed/boosted ask their Doc for a D-Dimer blood test... see if they have "micro-clotting" going on, which will not be symptomatic until it IS. None of my gym pals asked for the test... ah well... maybe better not to know...?
That should be malpractice! Thank God RKF is sounding the alarm for this kind of multiple Vax for babies forced upon new young parents. But it is mind boggling how many still do not question the safety of taking so many jabs at one time even as adults.
Oh, I was told Bobby isn’t a doctor so they are not believing him. Ok, dumbass. Got it.
Yikes.
Sadly... make sure their will is in order and they have burial insurance...
Oh good lord!
If I were dying of turbo cancer I would try ANYTHING. Ivermectin has been used safely for decades. Many drugs are used for conditions that they were not designed to treat. But so what. If they work, why not?
There is a man on YouTube who is dying from bladder cancer that has spread throughout his body. It appeared after taking the initial jabs. This poor guy has been through multiple surgeries (kidney removal, prostate surgery). Followers in his comments persuaded him to try Ivermectin and he went and bought the horse paste (SMH—you can get pills now) and started taking it. I doubt he even took it for a week. It “made him feel high,” so he stopped. Didn’t talk to any of the physicians recommended, or read any of the Substack links posted. Now he is actively dying. You can only get so far with some people, but we tried.
It made him feel high- ya it was the IVM 🤣 not the oxy he is loaded up on! Sure
Apparently they won’t give him any pain meds, even in the hospital. He refused chemo earlier, but not sure why he’s not on pain meds.
I’ve never seen a cancer patient not in pain meds or benzodiazepines. As soon as someone is diagnosed they prescribe Ativan and a pain med. interesting
My brother had bladder cancer before covid and had bladder removed. When covid came, he and all of my siblings and spouses, got the jabs in spite of my pleading with them not to. Now, after it returned and having chemo rounds, then immunotherapy he's going to spend the rest of his days on one strong med after another until there's nothing else that he can tolerate. All of my family saw me nearly die on a ventilator in 2017 for 21 days. Had non-Hodgkins lymphoma and then bilateral pneumonia. I quit chemo and went with alternative options. Yet, my brother absolutely refuses to try Ivermectin or Fenbendazole, even in addition to the meds. Really baffles me.
My husband went for it for bladder cancer. 2 clear reports this year. I had saved info just in case. IVM with it.
A lot of their doctors are to blame for this. They tell them it’s not the best chance and that the “science” supports other treatments. It gets ingrained in the patient’s head that alternative medicines are make believe voo-doo that will cost them the days they could live. So they shut out any recommendations from people like us. I blame the medical industrial complex and their “standards”.
We've tried too.
Oncologists are now equal to god in the minds of many. Sad.
I wouldn't trade a cup of warm spit for all of them.
what if it was cooled?
To my late mother-in-law, ALL doctors were gods.
On that note, I've noticed Scott Adams' dramatic improvement and have wondered if he's been taking those things; but then saw him interviewed recently (can't remember by whom) and he credited something else (a pharma drug?). He also hasn't acknowledged any likelihood of his cancer being caused by the jabs he regretted taking. Sure wish he'd come clean about that.
I thought he had spoken about that? I recall seeing a podcast where he said he had taken it so he could travel and now regretted it? Did I imagine that?
Yes, that was a couple of years ago. But when he got sick, more recently, he didn't attribute his cancer to it.
My "Directive" says explicitly that I want all the Morphine they can give me and if possible any hallucinogenics that can be IV'ed in. The party's in Jay's room. I'm going out with a bang, Y'all!

Jay, did you know they will steal your morphine for themselves and give you saline? That’s what I always see happening.
Addiction is an occupational hazard in the medical industry.
Wow
So sad. I hope he knows Jesus. That’s all that matters in the end.
I have a SIL- not trying any of it. Prefers the medication that depletes RBC production. Chemo. Radiation. Extreme nausea
Which means they will have to transfuse RBCs from a blood donor who was possibly vaxxed. You can’t know… the C-19 vax question is not on the list of pre-donation questions.
I listened to Clinton Ohlers yesterday on Ninos Corner TV. He works with Safeblood, a company that matches unjabbed donors with people in need of blood. I signed up, though you can just offer to donate for free. 12 states have stopped allowing people to designate blood recipients. Ohlers mentioned a number of examples of unjabbed people who got blood transfustions, then either got ill, or died. It's a serious issue, and if you need blood in an emergency situation, you are simply screwed.
When my grandson was dx with a rare childhood cancer, LCH, which damaged his liver, we knew that he'd have to have a liver transplant if all of our alternative measures couldn't correct it. We joined Blessed By His Blood in order to have non-jabbed blood donated for him. We were informed of what to do and how to approach it with authorities. That was some time ago. But we believe that a liver donor will soon be approved. Hope that Ohio isn't one of those 12 states.
I have thought about this a lot. I want to make sure that my family has access to vax free blood. But I have no idea how to ensure that this is available in emergency situations!
Check out "blessed by his blood," a cooperative of unvaccinated blood donors and recipients. Myself and spouse are members and have donated two or three times to unvaccinated folks going in for surgery or treatment of blood cancers.
The same with my ex, whom I nevertheless nursed through all that.
💔
hello viagra!
Absolutely pitiful! I can not fathom the level of stupidity from those who believe the lying medical establishment and liberal media! Too many people have died who should still be living life to the fullest! There are those who call themselves "experts" who should be held accountable. As should the media! Insist they all take the jabs ama every available booster!
Absolutely right, Deb! 🎯
Sad. Sad. Sad. Don't put your funeral garb in the back of the closet.
Damnnnnn Man.....

Ouch! Chilly!
Men, be aware:
Your WIVES will be the gatekeepers to your treatments. If you're down with a serious illness, they will be making many of the decisions, even if you think you have a say in it. And... they will do whatever Doctor god, aka "the oncologist" says to do.
We had two relatives with cancer: one vaxx induced, one not. The vaxx-induced cancer victim wanted to try IVM/FenBen. His wife gave it a thumbs down and waited until days before he died to say, "We could try this." It was already too late.
Her daughter's husband was diagnosed a short time later. We sent her all the info, and she came back with the same argument: "We're doing what our oncologist says."
Guess what? Your oncologist won't go along with this, and if YOU want this treatment, you're going to have to make sure your partner knows what to do.
So true. Talk about it now before cancer even enters the picture so that you are on the same page with your spouse or children.
I’m the wife - but my eyes were opened. I do most of the research and my husband doesn’t, so he could easily be influenced by others outside of our relationship if I were to get really ill. I started to share everything I was learning with him a few years ago. He’s waking up and starting to read alternative views and medical perspectives. He now knows very well the corruption of the medical institutions and how they actually cost lives. He witnessed first hand how they almost cost me ten years of my own life and how my taking matters into my own hands revealed their malpractice and allowed me to go to doctors who saved my life and gave me back those years. The one last thing I need to get into place is to find a functional medical doctor and establish a relationship for all of us so that should the time come he has someone he can trust for medical advice and suggestions. As it presently sits we are at risk of having to leave our health in the hands of the establishment. We are going to have to move out of state to find that. :/
The alt docs recommend the IVR/FenBen in addition to the chemo regimen. It’s not an either/or situation, so I don’t understand why people refuse to even try it.
Husbands just took his doses right now. He was all in.
That is why we met with the (double masked) oncologist only once , then treated her breast cancer ourselves. Didn't need to ask anyone's permission .
The doctor gods have spoken to them. There is no questioning their authority.
That wife was an accomplice to her husband's murder.
I have those friends too. They won’t listen to anything. It’s going to be a real culling and the extinction of people of this brainwashed mindset.
Absolutely. Its mind blowing. My college roommate too young to die has had stage 4 cancer for 3 1/2 years now. Refuses to try anything else even though I’ve sent her lots of articles. You’d think theyd be desperate to try something. No doubt she is jabbed. No doubt trusts medical drs/prescribers. UGH
They're going to need a bigger cemetary.
Sorry for your loss. Doubly because they wouldn’t even entertain the time to research what possibly could have cured or slow down the growth and given time and quality of life for the family member.
I’m so sorry 😞
Where can I read about Fenben? Mainstream anything will only warn you that it’s bad and unapproved for human use.
2nd smartest man in the world on substack
My wife attributes Fenben more than anything else we did to curing her stage 2B breast cancer. Check out Joe Tipper's webpage. It 's the first place we went. There are lots more articles too. Here's another article for you:

Staggeringly obtuse.
Deer in the headlights syndrome is often incurable. I reached the point where I don't reach out to my leftist family/friends any more. Just as I can't take people covered in tattoos &/or piercings seriously, I can't take a person who grieves over their "white privileges" seriously.
If they reach out to me I'm civil but life is too short to waste time beating myself in the head, thinking I will open their eyes & mind.
Agreed.
Hey there ARE people out there with tattoos/piercings who don’t believe the craziness. Just sayin 😂🙏
I’m surprised by the number of young Christian women in my VERY conservative church who have tattoos. They are not extreme, though.
You wouldn't know it by looking at them. 😎
Young people who watched me challenge the mask police, were surprised to see a "baby boomer" do so. Stereotyping exists across all demographics.
They don't strike me as similar, sort-of like comparing sexual orientation to race; not comparable. I get your point though but I subscribe to the opinion you only get one opportunity to give a first impression; maybe you disagree.
I deplore tattoos as well, but have had several experiences of first impressions being proved false. Remembering how wartime parents hated hippy styles.
You guys do realize that the readership of the Substack also contains people under the age of 40. I think we are talking about generation gap more than belief-gap. 🙏 and besides that, don’t forgot that you WANT God to change peoples hearts and help them come to the truth. So you should be thrilled there are people at your churches who have tattoos and are seeking the Lord. Wake up to what God is doing in the world. He looks at the heart. 😌🙏
10-4! Later Jay
same here
Your comment resonates with me. Out of 7 kids, I am the youngest. The oldest brother, a conservative Christian, told me to stop sending him articles or studies on how unsafe the vaccines were back in 2021. (He was in the Pharma industry for 35 years). They think I'm nuts, but I'm being proven the sane one.
It's kind of a pyrrhic and quiet victory. For one, people had to die for us to be proven right and two, the survivors won't acknowledge their terrible mistake.
Here's the thing I see with my brother: He got 3 Pfizer jabs in May to September 2021. As far as I know (or he isn't revealing), he hasn't had any horrible effects despite the fact that he had prostate cancer in 2006. I do know he was convinced that he had to get the shots because of the prior cancer. Because nothing bad happened to him, he won't believe anything bad happened to others that was due to the shots, he thinks the shots protected him. I have given up trying to convince him of anything, nothing I can do.
🎯
A prayer you are "being proven the sane one" 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘦𝘺𝘦𝘴.
If only proven via your own observation, for your own closely held vindication, very sad.
From a similar boat.
🙏
I’m in your same shoes with some family ( mostly on my husbands side) and I had to dig deep to accept the fact that they think differently. It’s on a spiritual level, and I realized that we are all on different paths spiritually to grow and awaken and it’s just not their time yet.
Bingo.
Yes, deep. Places they are not ready to or are incapable of plumbing.
Yes, different paths. Not my/our decision.
Makes our earthwalk much more difficult, but everything in its time.
God love them all.
Here’s how I think they see us and what they think: They think we are stupid, uneducated and wrong, both intellectually and morally. Why should they listen to less intelligent, less informed, and “wrong” people who voted for a “Nazi”?
Bongino always used to say "Conservatives think Liberals are people with bad ideas. Liberals think Conservatives are bad people with ideas."
Yes and in my case, I'm the only one of my siblings with a graduate degree, but that held no weight against the propaganda they chose to swallow hook line and sinker.
Some people, perhaps most, are reluctant to admit they "fell for it", were duped, and don't want to even discuss it. Is there ANY common ground, shared enthusiasms, e.g. sports, music, movies, TV shows?
I guess my advice is, if not, don't push it... just "leave the field" but pray for them (and unless faith in God is common ground, for sure don't tell them as it might sound arrogant or even spiteful).
But miracles happen, and there's nothing wrong with entreating Our Lord for that out of your love for them.
Great advice.
I have the same experience with friends and family. I can’t convince them and they look at ME like I’m the crazy one. I can barely tolerate some of my oldest friends. So sad
I am headed to my 55th year high school reunion in a few hours. I will try to keep a level head. We’ll see
I left my 50th HS reunion this summer after 15 minutes of being approached by classmates who asked me if we knew each other…(while staring at my name tag that had my senior photo on it) convincing me that my cohort is adrift in brain fog/dementia. Or maybe confirming that I am in Portland (truth) 😳
Give us a report tomorrow, Dr Linda!
Good luck!
I had a blast
We have the same family troubles as you in my wife's relations. And this is all by insidious design and it is a result of the war waged by the state against its people. And as a people, we still are under rule evil incarnate. However, we have graduated. We have been elevated out of the category of 'kooks, morons and idiots' into the category of 'suspicious people who might actually know something'.
So many of us are in exactly the same boat.
Agreed - the mental conformity is just staggering. Lionel Shriver captured it brilliantly (and with some humour) in her new novel “Mania” - I find I need to read this kind of thing (along with C&C) for the sake of my sanity.
Thanks for the recommendation. Occasionally I find something to read or watch that is cathartic and inspiring. Recently it has been watching Charlie Kirk videos … seeing him listen with his whole heart and mind to brainwashed college kids, and seeing the dead look in their eyes turn to hopeful life when he shows them a path out of their lying leftist zombie state, is absolutely thrilling. I wish I could do that with my liberal friends, who remain Democratic Borg.
If you just let it drop, they will never come back to and admit they were wrong, unfortunately. They will just act like it didn’t happen.
I know a Boomer in his late 60s. Smart guy, pretty well off, aka "rich." Has said point blank, "I don't want to live in a world where I think the government is trying to kill me."
Believes in vaxxes.
Then suddenly... for whatever reason, something snapped. He will no longer take ANY vaxxes, and becomes kind of hostile if you ask him why, which is completely out of chracter for him.
I'm not thrilled living in a world where most people think the government is their friend and protector.
and you can add climate hysteria to that list - listing all of the impossibilities of a tiny, miniscule portion of the atmosphere having any effect on the climate doesn't sway the faithful in any way
I was reminded of this other side of the Covid coin this a.m. by a Parade magazine article featured on AOL News, helpfully ‘informing’ readers about this fall’s version and what to expect.
It ‘answered’ the question of whether or not to get the Covid booster and the flu shot at the same time. Their answer was ‘yes’ with the claim that since the ‘experts’ have had time to study the issue, they no longer recommend taking the Covid shots two weeks before or after other vaccines. They’ve decided it’s ‘safe and effective’ to take them simultaneously.
I don’t know what percentage of people are still listening to the ‘experts’ in health. I know many conservatives who still do. I don’t think arguing with them is very worthwhile anymore.
This group would be horrified if all vaccines were outlawed. This has to play into the approach taken by MAHA, unless mandated measures are taken to force change on these people.
They are now pushing an mRNA shot for high cholesterol. It’s called LEQVIO and the cardio doc is insisting that my mother take it, so I have to drive an hour today to attend that doc appointment with her so she doesn’t get bullied into it.
God bless you for looking after your mother.
That’s outrageous!
I hear you. I retired from a k-5 elementary school in October 2019 and moved away in 2020 right before the scamdemic hit. I have no doubt I would have lost all my friends and possibly been fired from my job had I still been there. I would have refused masking, preached the whole thing as a construct of enterprise fraud, and sided with kids who didn’t want to mask.
There’s a truth teller in every family—known as the black sheep. I’m guessing you have some really good friends who take the place of family.
But I hear you.
I had a conversation last night with a great “kid” (~24 years old) who I’ve known since he was a toddler. He’s profoundly curious and we always have the most interesting conversations. He was convinced to get the jab by his uncle, and he regrets it constantly. He said, “Why didn’t I talk to you about it more? I knew you did the research and I feel like I was duped.” I feel bad for him. 😞 He got the J&J and said, “at least my DNA isn’t f’ed up.” But he is the ONLY one I know who has been willing to admit he was fooled. I have other friends who were jabbed who didn’t WANT to be, but felt like they had to do it to keep their jobs. To me, that’s a little different. They are upset they didn’t stand up for themselves more, but they weren’t really “fooled.”
Scott Adams, creator of the Dilbert cartoon, admitted he was fooled. He now has cancer.
Medical and surgical intervention to “trans” a person need to be banned, not just for children, but for all human beings. People need psychological counseling, honesty (which is true compassion, even if they don’t like the truth), and redirection. A man cannot become a woman, and facing that reality is imperative in recovery from gender or body image delusions.
Nah. The left is the crowd that either mandates or bans things.
As long as people are of the age of majority (and sound mind, which trans does call into question) they are mostly free to screw themselves up however they want.
I just take exception to them doing it at OTHER PEOPLE's (taxpayers!) expense.
It is concerning that the meds affect their mental instability even more though 😕
Good grief! Check with any woman in menopause to see how a body reacts to screwing with hormones!
Or pregnancy! Or any teenager boy or girl, for that matter 😆😛
Ask you doctor if opium is right for you
This is what built the empire that wants you dead.
Banned might be a strong sounding word, but surgeons are not allowed to cut off someone’s arm if they wish to identify as an amputee. We can’t prescribe heroine to a patient who wishes to identify as an addict. We cannot just mutilate a patient because the patient requests it. So there are plenty of things in medicine that are “banned”, that’s just not a word used to describe it.
But amputate breasts or a penis no problem!!!
True. That is why I included the caveat 'of sound mind'. That gives a large grey area. 🤔
Right. There are ethical considerations that should stop any thinking person from turning a healthy individual into a disabled person.
I'm mostly on Gail W's side but that's an excellent rebuttal. My rule is always err on the side of freedom, for adults. But your argument is good enough to make me think you may be right.
Well said, Carrie!!
I went to a lecture about Ayn Rand and during question and answer session I stood up and announced I’m Bill, and I’m a “heroine addict”. I was careful to enunciate clearly.
Or that the rest of us have to go along w/ their delusions
Sure, that is what they demand.
Too bad for them that they're NOT the boss of us!
Gail, if you worked for the guy my poor hubby works for, you might have a different opinion. Hub's boss is dealing with cancer (has been for almost a decade). He takes some damn female hormones to supposedly slow the growth of the cancer. Well, maybe it does, but it sure does make life Hell for himself and ALL who must interact with him, including family and even spouse. He is NOT mentally well. What's the good in extending your life if you're mentally toast? and not toast in a happy way -- toast in a mean, angry way! NOPE, female hormones do NOT belong inside men. NO. The patient may be unhappy but everyone else is utterly miserable.
Well, except for the fact that men already do have some estrogen just like women do naturally have some testosterone. That’s my understanding anyway. I think it would be more likely that ur hubbys boss is on a steroid of some type. My dad was on one for 40 years (today’s they’d treat him with Humira). But that made him a peach to live with but oh well. 🤪
Problem is, money is a large part of this.... For the love of money is the root of all evil.
Correction.... the love of money is the root of *all kinds* of evil.
Last week, I went to the funeral of a friend's daughter. When going through the receiving line, I hugged her oldest daughter whom I hadn't seen in a long time. I introduced myself to the man standing next to her, but didn't catch the name, just said "Nice to meet you." Later I was told that that was one of my friend's other daughters, post surgery and loads of male hormones. During the graveside as I stood at the back, I watched her and prayed for deliverance for her, that God would lift her out of the pit of deception. Such evil. Such demonic oppression. The enemy can deceive confused people into lopping off body parts to cause permanent damage, then he can just sit back and laugh maniacally. BUT GOD- Jehovah Rophe.
Heartbreaking, Janice. I had some friends at my church in Tulsa, where we lived until 5 years ago, whose older daughter decided she was really a boy. These people were strong Christians and they did nothing (that I know of) to encourage this in any way. My friend tried to tell her daughter the truth, and that likely she was feeling attraction to other girls, and that was the true issue. Sadly, the daughter turned 18 and had a full scholarship to college, so there was nothing they could do to prevent her from “transitioning”. Of course, the daughter also rejected Christ, which is what truly matters. Thanks for the reminder to pray for them all.
I have three friends with daughters doing this, and I have a nephew who calls himself Diana now. One of the friends’ daughters is “transitioning” to male while living with a male who pretends to be a girl. Huh? Just heartbreaking.
This was a short reaction video by a pastor. Charlie Kirk is compassionately addressing the need for honest counseling for these people with gender confusion. It touched my heart: https://youtube.com/shorts/naxletfKOks?si=RlD5eE2SMw1v-tLI
Thanks for the link
I second the thanks, great video
Are there really no laws against castration, especially of children? Or removing most of the healthy tissue of a young girl’s arm to make a fake, nonfunctional penis?
Really?
There certainly should be. This is nazi Germany level evil.
It’s the psychological counselling that pushes for it. Just another step in the process. I wonder how many actually get turned down?
Not many in states like WA where mental health “professionals “ are required to be “affirming.”
Yep, they need legitimate counseling, not what’s going on now
Good morning C&C!!
Commenting before reading because I don’t want this to get buried. A member of my family just got diagnosed with cancer and I mentioned the ivermectin fenbendazole treatment. The person might be open to it so I need some links to information on how it works/what the protocol is. Can anyone help me? Thank you!!
Joe Tippens Protocol at the bottom, praying for your family.

Thank you so much!!! 🙏❤️
Running, another link from Justus R Hope shows 20 “top” repurposed drugs for cancer cure/prevention, with fenbendazole and ivermectin in the top 5. Most of the others are common items found in many people’s vitamin cabinet. Giving family member chance to pick and choose might make them more comfortable: https://www.onedaymd.com/2025/01/ranking-top-19-terminal-cancer.html
Great stuff, thank you!!
I am hearing positive results from this protocol.
THANKS!!!!
Having spent 6 years of my precious life tied to the medical complex dealing with an " incurable " rare blood cancer, I would urge anyone to take a serious look at the Tippens protocol. When/ if my cancer recurs, if I treat it, this is the first thing I'd consider. My best wishes to your family member.
Thank you, I’ll look into it!
Multiple myeloma?
My bride, being an rn, would never have done that. Not so sure it works on bone marrow cancer, which is basically a dna programming issue. Mine, I wouldn’t either. It’s again, dna programming issue. But if I were in an organ cancer mode, I certainly would go that route.
Cancer is cancer. Except for uterine and skin cancer, all cancer is systemic, so cutting out a tumor does not eliminate the cancer. What doctors call dozens or hundreds of different kinds of cancers is merely the other cells found in the tumor beside the cancer cells. When the body detects cancer proliferating, it starts producing en masse the same cells as where it is found ie. kidney, liver, a well as sending betaglucorinidase to neutralize the estrogen and other steroids that floods any area cancer is found .
Check out Dr. Makis on Substack, as well as Dr. Paul Marek at IMA website for his book on alternative methods for treating cancer.
Thank you, I couldn’t remember which doctors used this!
FLCCC, now rebranded as Independent Medical Alliance, has a cancer care book authored by the esteemed (and roundly harassed by the medical establishment) Dr. Paul Marik. This book is available as a free download, link below. It is also available in print form from Amazon.
https://imahealth.org/cancer-care-second-edition-now-available/
I have purchased this book and shared many copies, as well as directed people to the free download. Sometimes it is helpful to sit with a book (yes, am old school).
Also, Dr. Marik is a co-author of a very important paper on cancer care and treatment protocols. Here is the link: https://isom.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Targeting-the-Mitochondrial-Stem-Cell-Connection-in-Cancer-Treatment-JOM-39.3.pdf
Thank you!! I really appreciate all of these resources! I knew my C&C fam would come through!! 😍
Also for your homework: https://www.2ndsmartestguyintheworld.com/p/subscriber-success-stories-marginal
I also highly recommend David Servan Schreiber's "Anticancer A New Way of Life" It's a great read and the footnotes alone make the story even more interesting.
Dr. Makis (largely paywalled on Substack) uses a modified Tippens protocol. Here is his website. https://drmakismd.com/ He regularly posts success stories and is in a fight with the Canadian system, so could use the support. God bless!
Thank you so much!! 🙏❤️
Lifting your family member in prayer this morning! Whether God uses Ivermectin /Fenbendazole or outright supernatural miracle - I pray God draw your loved one to the Truth of His Word and salvation in Jesus Christ!
Will be praying for God to do the impossible!
Philippians 4: 6-7
🙏🏽
Thank you so much!! Always appreciate the prayers!! 🙏❤️
RunningLogic, I am so sorry your family is having to deal with this scourge. Praying for complete recovery. I saw the "Mr." has already recommended Dr. Makis as a resource. So I will just add to check out Nature Works Best in Tempe, AZ, which treats cancer with high dose nutrient IVs, with some other supportive modalities. The clinic is run by Dr. Colleen Huber - she has written a couple of books on cancer: "Choose Your Foods Like Your Life Depends on It" and "A Cancer Patient's Manifesto". She has also written books on Covid, but I think we are all pretty much on the same page here at C&C.
A family member had excellent results from the course of treatment there, and has passed the 5-year mark with No Evidence of Disease.
Mrs. "the Knife"
Thank you so much!! 🙏❤️
Dr. William Makis is supporting and studying people with diagnosed cancer (and possibly other conditions?) using ivermectin. If you message me with an email, I can forward you the introductory email he sent to me. Possibly the family member might feel reassured to work with a doctor who is actively studying and well-versed with successful use of the protocol.
Some of the text from the email: For an alternative medicine that is optimized to your case, consider signing up for the protocol package inorder to get the online source for the medication, prescription and follow up care.
A diagnosis of a cancer, neurological, or autoimmune disease is necessary before I can help.
To Clarify the Protocol Process,
The protocol is sent through email and it covers 3 months treatment plan. After filling the consent form, filling the intake form and making payment, i will do a full review of your case and provide you with a personalized protocol in about a week with recommended online sources to acquire the medications. I may prioritize your protocol depending on the urgency of your case. You will have email support throughout your treatment.
I and my staff strive to accommodate everyone in need in light of high demand.
* Protocol Program - $200 USD
This is awesome, thank you!!
I imagine you could probably just go to one of his social profiles or other access and find his email as well.
This is a good place to start: https://open.substack.com/pub/fenbendazole?
Thank you I appreciate it!! 🙏❤️
🙏
Praying for your family member, as the list of people I know with medical maladies and illnesses continues to grow. I can see you’ve gotten lots of responses and links to resources from the C&C family. If you would, please document the path you take from here: the research, the choices, the effects and outcomes. I have a feeling many more people we know will find themselves in similar circumstances and it would be helpful to have more trusted information as they navigate these challenges. God bless 🙏
Thank you!!
I am not sure I will be privy to the different steps the person takes as I am not a close family member but if I do find out I will see if I can share.
Paul Marik authored the book Cancer Care: The Role of Repurposed Drugs and Metabolic Interventions in Treating Cancer, a work that reviews literature on using existing drugs and metabolic strategies for cancer treatment.
Leading Edge Clinic, Dr. Kory's place is taking on patients with specific protocols based on individuals.
https://imahealth.org/ has some great info.
Thank you! I didn’t know Dr Kory’s clinic was taking patents for that! I will keep it in mind.
Hope it's not too bad, and can still be treated. This is the right place to go to get good info. Best of luck to family member and family.
Thank you Jeff 🙏❤️
Dr. William Makis is a physician specializing in the treatment of cancer, and on his substack, he has posted repeatedly about all the cases he has helped. Most days he posts one "regular" post where there is news about a new study etc. and most days there is a 2nd post that is a testimonial from, say, somebody with stage 4 pancreatic cancer who took Ivermectin + fenbendazole and is now cancer-free. I think Dr. Makis likely has more experience with Ivermectin + fenbendazole than anyone in the world, and he has been a co-author of peer-reviewed research related to treating cancer with Ivermectin. He is Canadian but is being persecuted by the government who robbed his GoFundMe page, and is trying to imprison him for treating cancer effectively. His situation has been going on for much more than a year, and he recently had to leave Canada - his patients are no longer permitted to access their prescribed treatment - because of the government - and Makis is in Florida. I found Makis on the website of the Wellness Company here: https://www.twc.health/pages/dr-william-makis-copy?tw_source=google&tw_adid=735458697784&tw_campaign=22294953791&tw_kwdid=kwd-2080854521921&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22294953791&gbraid=0AAAAAo7gK_Iz5k14Dh1yJhF30hAm9AFxu&gclid=CjwKCAjw6P3GBhBVEiwAJPjmLuhOLjrklkduHz8wmMJCes1Q12OXaQnw5-oe5g5FekHuBGfU7Fe-4BoCJxwQAvD_BwE Suggest you could try to contact him through The Wellness Company. I don't know if he is licensed in US but for a good while he has been saying he can consult with your doctors who are the ones giving treatment, now that he's in the US maybe he will get licensed in Florida and stay - that would be great. It is still possible to get Fenbendazole rather inexpensively through Amazon, I have seen recommendations for the Merck brand product that is for goats, for $30-something for a bottle. You can get both Ivermectin and fenbendazole through All Family Pharmacy in Florida, and they have a doctor who will do telemed very inexpensively to authorize a prescription. The prices are not bad, though there are other options, but this is any easy source for me to remember - but the thing is, the doctor used by this pharmacy is not necessarily a cancer expert - and I would think the dose could vary by what type of cancer, what stage and so on - I am a retired healthcare professional but this was not my speciality and I would not make a recommendation for cancer, and I don't think it is necessarily one size fits all. But you can get both Ivermectin and fenbendazole from All Family Pharmacy at https://allfamilypharmacy.com/ 10% off if you use the code RETURN10 which is a code I got from and ad by Matt Gaetz (they may ask how you found the code - they have different affiliates, but this code was from Matt Gaetz). Someone else mentioned Dr. Marik's cancer info, but not sure it was the same resource I am familiar with - I think anyone with concern related to concern would benefit from looking at Dr. Marik's "Cancer Care" here: https://imahealth.org/research/cancer-care/ This appears to be the 2nd edition of this booklet, and on page 92 starts a couple pages on Ivermectin, on page 94, a section on Fenben & related meds, and there is a strong recommendation for both Iver. & Fenben. In addition, there is a lot of good information, diet, vitamins, and more.
Great info, thanks so much!! 🙏❤️
Dr Makis has it , I tried to copy and paste it but it didn’t work . Joe Tippens !!! Bravo 👏🏻
Thank you!
I think there's a facebook group (of all things) for My Cancer Story Rocks (or something to that effect) where they talk about this and other options people have tried, as well as their experiences.
Thank you for this information!! 🙏❤️

Do not enter the path of wicked men
And do not step into the way of evil men.
Avoid it, do not pass by it;
Stray from it and pass on.
For they do not sleep unless they do evil;
And they are robbed of sleep unless they make someone stumble.
For they eat the bread of wickedness
And drink the wine of violence.
But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn,
That shines brighter and brighter until the fullness of day.
— Proverbs 4:14-18 LSB

Janice,
Your Scripture selections are always on target and so relevant. Thank you.
Verses 14 & 15 are very applicable to my mind-struggles today regarding the murder of Charlie Kirk.
What I am seeing on the internet postings is alarming and questions the CK Event which I saw live on the event programming.
Do I believe my eyes or am I being deceived? Do I believe the eyewitness reports and the testimonial of Frank Turek retelling of his experience as he was with CK?
Do I believe the amazing Holy Spirit led memorial service for CK was real?
Just days after the killing, all the conspiracy theories came out - the path of the wicked.
To name a few that are running amuck on Lying Eyes Highway:
CK is not really dead. It is a psych op for his protection and his family.
CK is dead and it was a CIA operation akin to JFK's assassination.
CK is dead and it was a Mossad operation.
Snipers prove how the kill shot could have not come from Robertson's gun and the roof.
It was not really CK who was shot. It was Ai and a Hologram of CK.
So, my conclusion is only the Word of God is true.
The Charlie Kirk Effect is true, and I rejoice that God is using CK's legacy to impact the world in spreading the Gospel of Jesus the Christ.
I choose not to waste any more time on the theory trails but stay on His Narrow Path.
Janice, you and Jeff C. bring such clarity and blessings!
Very sound choice Elaine. Fix your eyes on Jesus and stay on the narrow path. Do not turn to the left or to the right. It’s all a distraction from the most important news of all time. 🙏
I personally believe what we heard about Charlie is not that simple or all true. I guess that makes me a conspiracy theorist but I am not on the path of the wicked nor are some others. Please don't lump us all into the evil pile.
There are so many misrepresentations about this assassination that people are pointing everywhere looking for the truth. I don’t believe it was a single shooter. There’s no footage showing he had the gun on the roof even though they have it. They said he was suicidal but he wasn’t and the story about his dad turning him in was a lie. So we’re being lied to. Also why haven’t they shown what the bullet was. The one from that gun would have blown CK’s head off. His neck bones aren’t cement, I’m sorry. And then the old dude in the crowd acting as a decoy. This was a total operation and there was a coverup of some sort involved.
I've been disgusted and horrified by the posts about Charlie Kirk's death from supposed "conservative Christians." All these outlandish conspiracy theories will be a huge benefit to the defense when the shooter's case eventually goes to trial. Sadly, too many people (jurors included!) will have heard these theories on social media, so all the defense has to do is muddy the waters with them.
“And those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the sky above; and those who turn many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever.”

It’s time to make gender dysphoria a mental illness again.
It always was a mental illness.
Yes. Gender Dysphoria is still in the DSM 5 but, they’ve changed some terms to water down the mental illness aspect of the disorder.
For the rationality for the change in terms, see here: https://www.psychiatry.org/getmedia/a5bef7b8-d401-4fc2-bac5-21a4d788fdb6/APA-DSM5TRGenderDysphoria.pdf
it is very easy and forgive the blunt speak. If you have a dick, you are a guy, a vagina a girl. Period full stop. Next.
Trump is dismantling China's Belt and Road initiative around the world. Right outta the gate DJT recalibrated the Panama Canal to our favor!!
I cannot love this president enough!! 💕🇺🇸
To quote Gutfeld: “we don’t deserve him.”
LOL. Exactly. 😂
It's really true when you think about it. DJT did not need this @#$%^ Like he often said, he had a great life before he took on saving the ENTIRE frigging world! I think he might become as remembered in history as a figure like Genghis Kahn (but for opposite reasons.)
Happy Friday everyone!!!
Happy Friday to you too!!
Happy Friday, Uncle Juan! How are y'all doing with the smoke? Did any of the rain make it over to you?
Mrs. "the Knife"
Not much smoke in the valley… rain helped a little… fires will probably burn until the snow starts falling.
I fully trust the media... to put out propaganda and lie for the leftist demoncrats and all of their causes, every time. Interesting, but not surprising chart that 51% of demoncrats think it's trustworthy. It boggles the mind the numbers of people that cannot think critically at all, but just accept that the sky is purple because its what they want to hear, even when they are staring at reality. A cautionary tale for everyone though.
MSM indeed suffers incurable TDS. Especially after having their pants sued right off of them.
They are beside themselves about having lost control to alt media, conservative talk radio, (and Fox to some degree) and no longer being able to control the narrative. They are reaping their just rewards. Whiny babies. 😫😫😫
Yes I agree, well said.
All the MSM hacks are piling into Substack. Their TDS is in terminal form as they break the brains of millions of readers. How much of their subscriber numbers are astroturfed? https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/trump-derangement-substack-correspondents-dinner
I suspect a good number of those subscribers are astroturfed, or perhaps somehow tied to an NGO somewhere to pump up the writings w/ some sort of money to make them look better and try to get more eyes / lend some air of credibility.
Substack is most likely getting turfed with the same behind the scenes people who took over reddit and made it a leftist bitching post (pardon my language, but the pun still stands). It's up to us to stand our ground instead of abandoning yet another solid platform for the wilderness again.
Yeah, getting tired of being beat up again on a regular basis by really, really, stupid, stupid people.
The great thing here on Substack as opposed to X is that you can BLOCK them and you can also MUTE them. Yeahh. I do it frequently. I do both. I do one and then the other.
I block them. It’s fun 🤣
Luckily it’s pretty easy to spot the hacks. Next!
Pfizer is a criminal drug cartel. Why didn't our president bomb them instead of making a deal with them and praising them?? (Not even sure I am kidding.)
Trump is always a few steps ahead. In case trade with China gets cut off he wants to onshore all drug manufacturing, a lot of which is currently done in China. With Pfizer, who is the largest drug maker in the world, cutting a deal to build factories in the US the other makers will fall in line and also open factories here. Trump and RFK can then weed out the bad stuff. The Pros include more jobs for Americans, easier legal action against domestic drug makers, reliability of drug supply in future if international crisis happens, Control of drug supply is easier onshore, etc. So it might take a few years before Pfizer gets hammered but in the meantime Trump has solved some other problems with other people footing the bill.
Good point.
Excellent deduction! Thank you, Fred! I could not figure that one out.
Thanks for that perspective.
It’s hard to do that directly or fast. Ok. Think about it. We still have a huge portion of the population “addicted” to these “vaccines” and to numerous pharmaceuticals. They honestly think it is a life or death issue and I have heard them say it !!! So do we cold turkey them or do it slowly? Trump, if you look what he and RFK are doing, ..they are doing it slowly. Sit tight as I believe it’s happening.
I hope you're right.
Me too.
I hope there’s a huge plan for something other than what appears, regarding Pfizer et al.
Ya.. I would agree with that given all the lies we all have been through ..for years and years.
Our kids are being poisoned with these gender-drugs. It hooks them to pharmaceutical companies for life, destroys their bodies, and now appears to destroy their minds (imagine that). This lunacy has to stop. Medical personnel - and I use that term very loosely - must stop using these drugs under threat of law. I hate to say it would be different if they only killed themselves, but they go forward and kill others. This giant Frankenstein experiment has to be declared illegal.
The gender drugs most often are accompanied by psych drugs, which I suspect is what is setting them off, tied with the virtual delusional pathway by which they are brought into a world in which they think the crazy plans make sense.
Agreed! The defense should be "not guilty by reason of insanity", THEN go after the doctors who prescribed the drugs to this young man; fine, revoke licenses and jail!
One of my "warrior woman" friends (she was the Lancaster county director of our FreePA personal/medical freedom activist group) recently authored an article in an AZ publication (the Prickly Pear) about the violence being committed by our young people who are taking SSRI's. One of the bits of factual information she shares in the article is that ALL of the "mass shootings" and "assassination attempts" committed in the past several years were committed by young people who were "sexually transitioning" and taking loads of hormonal "adjusting" drugs. Here's a link to the article...very disturbing to the point of WHY AREN'T OUR OFFICIALS CREATING LAWS TO PROHIBIT SEXUAL TRANSITIONING PRACTICES? (Of course, we who have even a modicum of critical thinking skills know "why"--because there's too much money being made by doctors, hospitals and huge pharma and these 'elements' within our society lobby the governmental officials to 'protect' this diabolical 'public health effort'! Despicable despots--the LOT OF 'EM!!)
https://pricklypear.news/analyzing-school-shootings-are-we-looking-for-answers-in-all-the-wrong-places/
Agree! As I mentioned in another comment, these interventions should be banned in children and adults. I know the libertarian argument (I have a bit of libertarian in me) is that we should just let adults do whatever harmful things they want to do to themselves… but these interventions are heinous and devastating to mind, body and soul… and society. So no, doctors should not be allowed to prescribe drugs or do surgery for the imaginary purpose of “changing a man into a woman” or vice versa.
THIS!
I remember reading a fiction(?) novel way back in the 80-90's (?) that dealt with this exact scenario. The basic gist was a teen was on some kind of drug to address behavior issues and then committed mass murder. The parent was trying to find someone to see if there was a connection with new prescription drugs the kid was on. Not sure if it was a John Grisham novel. Not fiction now!
Have you noticed how movie makers and culture propagandists 'foretell' cultural calamities sometimes DECADES before they occur? I believe it has to do with 'energy vibrations - EVERYTHING in this universe consists of energy and the energy exuded by these "thoughts" propagates ACTION and EVENTS generations later--truly!! I've seen it in my 78 years on "Planet Earth".
“According to the most recent Gallup poll, only a paltry 28% of Americans say they have a great deal or a fair amount of trust in the mass media, which is down from a solid 68% in 1972. That figure has never in history fallen below 30%.”
Americans are distrusting not only media, but medicines, public science, and more.
They haven’t produced any of the outcomes they’ve stated they would.
We’re in more debt, things are more expensive—and this is from Baby Boomers to Gen Z.
The American Dream—held together by industries like media, health, government, is failing. And it’s affecting each and every one of us: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/gen-z-is-worse-than-you-thinkbut
True that Americans are becoming more distrusting of 'institutions' and so THEY MUST BECOME MORE SELF-RELIANT. Americans need to become responsible again.
I am all for paying these government workers to just stay home for good and don't do *any* work. Just play games and go on vacations. In the long run, it would be less expensive for all of us in more ways than I can count. It would also prove to the people that *we do not need* a giant government. We do not need the biggest government in world history ruling over us and micromanaging every part of our lives.
Yes. Any non-essentials that were furloughed should be fired. The government is still functioning without them.
Uniform basic income for them. However, not enough to maintain them in D.C. single family houses.
Enough for single family tents.
Yes…and the weather is moderate in the southern MD, northern VA climate, so tents should suffice.
It sounds good but I read that the typical gov worker makes about 40 percent more than the average schlep. AND the average person pays their salaries.
Yeah but that would almost justify free government money, when we can prove it’s cheaper to give them money than let them play at work, wrecking things.
8% trust of the media among thinking people is generous, I’d lean toward 0%.
I’m definitely part of the 0%.
My cohorts and I hover around --5%.
