Jury convicts Hunter and media starts smugness contest; June temps disappoint activists; 10th Circuit raises tough questions of body autonomy; WSJ reports fake science; Trump W's; and more.
Yeah - back in 2019, I'd have sided with the "yes" votes. Criminal? Check. Insane? Check. Danger to society? Check. Go for it. But these days? That's a no. Still checks all the boxes, but not the "forced medication with potentially bad side effects" one.
That _does_ open the way for all sorts of "well, he's really a danger to himself because he won't take his 45th mRNA booster + shingles + flu + hand-foot-mouth disease shot" levels of craziness. We don't need to open that door any wider than the courts left it open back in MA.
The global villains have gone from saying dissidents are wrong to saying we’re extremists to saying we’re criminals, terrorists & then a health threat to others.
Let’s not allow them to try « they’re a danger to themselves - medicate them for their own good »....
Yep, people who spread "disinformation" (inconvenient facts) will soon be terrorists who need to be forcibly medicated for their own and society's safety.
Lock him up in a mental hospital for the rest of his life. That’s what justice looks like in this case.
If they can force medicate the vulnerable, they’ll find a way to force medicate the rest of us. It’s likely they already are with our food and water supply.
I’m tired of the government’s heavy hand. I spent over half my life being in awe at the thought that I was born into the freest country on earth. When did I exchange freedom for shackles? I can’t pinpoint the exact date, but the awakening has been horrific.
Sadly, there will always be mistakes made but there must be an effort for justice and punishment for liars, withholding of truth, bribery, tampering with witnesses, and Judges who do. Money buys morals. Now who makes the foundations of all law, men or God?
I’m in agreement with you - used to be “institutions for the criminally insane” (that’s where he belongs). Of course now, that’s just Times Square NYC!
Absolutely agree. If we agree that forcibly medicating this man is the right thing to do, we are no better than the liberals cherry-picking who to apply constitutional rights to. It’s either right for everyone, or it’s wrong for everyone, not just for those we disagree with (or agree with!)
No we shouldn't force medicate him. But how has his mental illness prevented them from trying him? The move to Federal Court was a chickensh*t move by the State. This is not a federal issue. This guy went postal (sorry all you postal workers) and should be tried. When you are dealing with someone this delusional, what can be done to protect their rights and secure a fair trial? Thorny issues. But medicating him to make it easier for the court to navigate this illness is not OK.
I agree - EIGHT YEARS of taxpayer funded legal maneuvering?! Seems like the most efficient way to handle this would be 1. have him certified as 'legally insane' 2. Lock him up in a mental institution the rest of his life. I might feel differently if he was in his 20's as there would be a chance of him getting out. But given his age, just keep him out of society and call it a day.
Yep - I’ve definitely changed, understanding with age and the experience of the last few years the easy jump it would be to forced vaccinations or anything else they dream up
I would also side with "no", but would avoid discussion of bodily autonomy, as that is a major argument used to support abortion. It is a very tangled situation
I agree. No forced medication by the Government whatsoever without full advocation on his behalf. Why lawyers vs the Federal Government? Why does he not have a Legal Guardian, even if he is a ward of the state? That guardian should be advocating on his behalf, not legally but for a human being with inalienable rights. Just think if the Government had open season on medication: experimentation, mind altering drugs for pre -determined outcomes, negating intelligent defense of oneself, torture, or denial of needed treatment.
What about reopening a few of the mental hospitals that were closed down during the Reagan era where possibly those who need it could get help. Otherwise, goverment forced medication and then what, forced lobotomies like in One Flew Ocer The Cuckoo's Nest?
Ppl who murder should be tried and given the death penalty. Mental illness considered and possible medical intervention but I've seen physical illness cause mental illness misdiagnosed and made worse OR medicated and made worse.
What a disaster? How much is caused by encouraging street drugs to begin with? How much is last of our industrial food supply? STORE BOUGHT FOOD is NOT REAL. Grow a tomato or broccoli plant and raise one chicken on grass and see. Put the manure on the plants and see that water washes and you won't die. Disclaimer: Please research. These are not conclusive instructions on how. Fresh chicken sh't, or any fresh, will burn your plant and it DOES CONTAIN PATHOGENS that you don't want to Eat. 😑
When people hug to themselves a delusion that they think is fundamental to their well being and safety, they don't' want to have that delusion challenged. Some people will get violent and/or hysterical when their delusion is assailed. The leftists have cleverly created "safe spaces" for these useful idiots and taught them that you don't ever have to worry one whit about living an unexamined life. The spaces that are "safe" in this case are the gaps in their common sense and understanding.
layer on top of that the "right to not feel offended" that the left has manufactured, and you have a nearly unassailable position. It can only be ignored and ridiculed until it crumbles.
My highly liberal family member, who constantly tells me how fake my news is said "he was paying to have sex with a porn star and that’s illegal ". But my news sources are bad.
LMAO seriously?! And here I thought liberals were on-board with legalized prostitution...
(Quite aside from the fact that he wasn't even allegedly "paying to have sex", he was paying her for the rights to her "story" about them supposedly having sex, which isn't illegal at all, and then allegedly "hiding" it by categorizing it as a legal expense.)
Haha. Sorry about your family. At least my MIL has stopped attacking us for not being 45 haters. I've come around to think that there is no way he actually had sex with her, or they would have asked for a lot more than the couple hundred thousand in that shakedown. That's what it was - a shakedown. But my sources are probably bad.
Some people truly can't get past the coarse language, or that "he doesn't talk the way a president should", or that he exaggerates when telling stories. But I like that he says what he thinks... it's a nice change from the old joke about "how do you know a politician is lying?". (ans: their lips are moving)
Oh the irony: My lib-Woke Hollywood sister loves to toss out the word "pussy" in mixed company for shock value. But she thinks Trump is the devil (of course). These people are so wed to their ideology they can't think straight.
go listen to what Trump said in context. He didn't say it the way they want you to think he said it. That's the problem. They took it out of context & repeated it ad nauseum so much that no one knows what he actually said.
Yes, exactly like when he talked about ultraviolet light as a disinfectant for viruses (which it is). Somehow, they changed that to "TRUMP SAID TO DRINK BLEACH TO CURE COVID!!" TDS sufferers are insane.
You nailed it. Went down this same path with some TDS folks after the verdict came out. You forgot the next part (bangs head against the wall as that is more productive).
I get to this point quicker by asking to specify what business records and falsified how, and how you can influence elections by bookkeeping. But even those with no TDS can't answer those questions. The media totally confused everybody and hushed up the details. By contrast, everybody knows that the Hunter's case was about purchasing a gun, not some vague "failed to fill a form properly to advance another crime".
And - all politicians influence elections! That's how they get into office. And very few people know it was actually one transaction cut into 34 pieces.
Well, from what I understand, he was just paying his lawyer every month, but if you take 34 of those payments and add them together it equals the amount that was paid to Stormy, which is "proof" that it was secretly in fact a reimbursement of that money and not actually "legal expenses". Or did I misremember?
actually, it wasn't 34 payments. It was a combination of accepted invoices, general ledger postings, and checks. I guess Trump is lucky the didn't consider every key stroke involved to be a felony!
I only got to the first paragraph before I had to post about how sick I am of Hunter Biden being referred to as a child. Not only has he not been a child in like 40 years, the infantilization of the term is disgusting. One more way to pretend that he’s the victim.
Fall guy seems the most apt. I can see a conversation in a room in the White House. "H, you have to take one for the team. Grandma Garland will push through and prosecute you for these lesser charges. Don't worry about prision. Worst case, I'll be sure you won't slip through the "crack"s if that happens. "
Sarah, we need to keep the drugged out photo reality in the public eye, because if you watched any coverage on TV (and we only have Newsmax on) you’re seeing video of Hunter as a nicely dressed handsome man, walking purposefully into court hand in hand with his beautiful wife.
No, the drugged out photo is the real Hunter. It may be sickening, but it’s the picture that’s worth a thousand words, portraying the entire Biden crime family.
To me he seems like an overgrown baby, not too bright, vulnerable and lost soul.
That is why daddy babies him, I think.
I don't fault him the addiction, but in contrast, RFKJR has openly discussed his heroin addiction and how God helped him out of that dark abyss. Because they say it is hell on earth.
How Hunter got clean without God, I don't know..or maybe he did ask God for help? 🤷
Yeah I think you’re right, it was buried in order to give the impression that taxpayers weren’t on the hook for it. Unless the party decided to cover more than they originally stated.
Then it’s a massive parenting failure. I’m Hunters age and I don’t even think of my own kids as children, and the youngest is 19. They’re all in charge of their own lives and decision making. The Biden family is just incredibly dysfunctional.
Every family for every candidate for public office should be vetted. Sure, we all have nuts in our family trees, but simply compare "the smartest man" Joe knows to the Trump kids. It's not like we don't have ancient advice to follow. “Select capable men from all the people—men who fear God, trustworthy men who hate dishonest gain—and appoint them as officials” (Exodus 18:21).
IMO, there must be something infantile which brings this out in Joe. I see Hunter as not very bright (Chinese businessman in their illegal dealings confirmed this by testifying that "his dog is smarter"), vulnerable, and something of a spiritually lost soul. Just the way his face looked , the way Jill and his wife clutched his hands..something is off. That is, imo, the reason Joe babies him.
Thank you to all who commented and sent thoughts & prayers regard my Brother’s adverse reaction to paxlovid. He is out of the hospital 😮💨
The doctors are baffled. Surprise!! It’s a waiting game now
One of my goals in posting is once again to alert folks that doctors don’t know what they are doing. They deliberately gave a medication that should not have been given. Ignorance is no excuse
If your brother had a heart condition and the doctor prescribed it to your brother anyway, then the doctor could be liable. The warnings say to tell your doctor if you have a heart condition. We had the same issue with a man at our church who had a heart condition and he brought that up to his doctor when he prescribed paxlovid. The doctor just flippantly brushed off his concerns. He ended up taking the medication for a day but the side effects were so bad that he stopped taking it. I had warned him before he started taking it.
My sister has is a pharmacist and she had to check those interactions all . the . time. Spent more time on the phones trying to work things out with the prescribing "doctor" to avoid killing or harming patients. No idea how her work in that field goes these days, but I know pre-crazy times she took a lot of care to avoid mixing meds that would lead to harm.
I have not tried to bring up what her thoughts might be on mRNA shots. I suspect she was pretty much "for" them in the early days, but that could have changed. Doesn't help that she's in a blue state surrounded by the crazy.
Well, he had to hold his mommy’s hand when he left court (even though she’s not his mommy and she can’t stand him!) Man, she’s a piece of work…but that’s a whole ‘nother story!
All those Bidens at the trial right up front behind Hunter, that was clearly designed to be jury intimidation. I would sure like to hear or read comments from some of the other jurors about all this.
13yr old pup was diagnosed last year with splenic mast/tumour (that means lymphatic system as it's the largest lymph organ).
Vet offered $7500 removal protocol (anesthesia, surgery, resection, closure/stitches, antibiotics, immune suppressents (due to spleen removal) and slow recovery with no guarantees (normal life expectancy for pup that age is 4 to 6 months).
Went the IVM route instead at $50/month, and he's still sniffing/pooping/eating/drinking/walking and enjoying life 9 months later.
Yep, doing the research was amazingly helpful.
Here's a couple sites if you or someone you know is learning about pet cancer(s).
Our ten y/o male cat received a vet-prescribed injection of Pfizer's "Cerenia" to stimulate his appetite, which he lost during a recent bout with a mystery bacterial illness. This formerly-outgoing and friendly cat has become a zombie. Cerenia transits the brain blood barrier ... can you name another Pfizer product for humans that also does that??
And regarding that watchman, this morning I reached Ezekiel 33 (here vs 1-6 from the KJV 1769) and was struck:
33:1 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
33:2 Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman:
33:3 If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;
33:4 Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.
33:5 He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.
33:6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.
His word ALWAYS gives me what I need! It is the essential food for my soul. 🙏
When I hear/read a verse someone posts I have to go look for context (unless I automatically remember) by reading at least 4 verses before & 4 after. It usually doesn’t end there. A nourishing and exciting rabbit hole that I desperately need.
I always find new applications to what I’m currently working through. That is how God works through other people.
What bothers me most about the Hunter Biden case is that I have a hard time with arguing that ANYONE should go to jail for lying on the ATF form as I would argue there should not be a form in the first place. This is one of those totally selective 'gotcha' laws, that are only enforced when there is an agenda to get someone for something else, and they don't think they can get a conviction, so the 'lying on form 4473' is a convenient vehicle.
And I already KNEW that if he was convicted, the TDS crowd would use this verdict as bludgeon against anyone who wants to argue that the justice system is weaponized against Trump and Trump supporters. Think that was the whole purpose of the trial in the first place.
I believe Hunter made a deal long before this case. Think laptop. The rest is for show. The form maybe unconstitutional but right now it’s law and anyone else would go to prison for lying on it. Hopefully one day the laws will be cleaned up. A few years ago I would have said there is no way, but now I see possibilities.
I agree! But HB is guilty of much more serious crimes that are more detrimental to our country than lying on a form. Those things he will never be charged with.
I will save your link to take a look at it. Yes Cut the funding!!
I worry that any further attempt to use the laptop to pursue these other very enormous crimes will be shouted down "He was already convicted, why do you keep bringing this up?"
Problem is too often, we the people actually clamor for this. How many times do you hear "there ought to be a law...." but reality is there probably already is, it's just not enforced, or it's selectively enforced.
Of course there was a deal struck with Hunter. The timing of all this reeks and is intentional, but somehow that elephant sitting directly on the lap of America will never be discussed as such in the media. Peripheral nonsense will go on indefinitely though. This is like talking to many about solar “farms”. It’s not going across the road from them, so they can’t fathom that no suddenly appearing solar company can pay farmers, triple the going crop prices to lease their land, put millions into setting all these panels up with construction and maintenance costs, have no solar buyer for their energy, but will find some energy company willing to pay exorbitant price for 12 to 18% energy without there being government money subsidizing all of this. They just don’t get it.
Well I am a weather nerd, and when I am looking for an escape, I follow storm chaser Reed Timmer's live feeds and follow a number of other chasers. This has been an active year for severe storms and tornadoes - and I have seen several pictures of solar farms taken out by big hail stones. These things are toxic waste and there is no recycling them, One more tic in the 'green tech is NOT green' column.
The ethanol from corn scheme (scam?) works similarly. Climate change nuts demand that ethanol be put in gasoline (which ultimately gums up engines), which creates a demand for ethanol from corn, farmers make a fortune from the demand, consumers get screwed (ruined engines and health from living near Roundup ready crops), but hey at least those poor farmers, engine repair shops, and medical facilities are raking it in.
The only farmers making a killing on ethanol are corporate farms. It was a boon for small farms/co-ops when it was first introduced but due to too much price instability, most co-op owned ethanol plants have been bought out by big ag. https://iowarfa.org/ethanol-center/ethanol-biorefineries/
I came onto write this very thing. I live in a rural agricultural area of Michigan. A big farm here is 600 to 1000 acres, a third of which is normally leased land from smaller farmers retiring. Ethanol in it’s early going 40 years ago, produced one co-op plant around here. It didn’t last a decade. There are no farmers around here that have gotten rich on growing corn for ethanol.
The farmers who are leasing farm land for these abominable solar “parks” or “farms”, they are neither, will end up with useless farmland within a decade after these investment companies sell off or go bankrupt. They can call them renewable all they want, they are unsustainable and we all know it.
Reminds me seeing for the first time wind turbine towers at Altamont Pass in California. Those were all in fact tax dodges for the owners with cash to burn on any New Investment to offset profots elsewhere with tax losses cost in wind power installation as they made sweet & special tax break profits selling "green" electrical power for this new "good" thing. Now most of those wind turbines on that pass have fallen into broken bits or don't work. Way to too expensive to haul the bits away t the hazardous waste landfills they require. Shell companies playing a NYC street con artist's game while bird carcasses pile up under them and vulture soar looking for their next meal.
For at least 20 years I have occasionally driven through an area where I can see those turbines....they don't ever seem to be running even though that's in a windy area.
As usual, big business interests push for legislation and mandates that look good on the surface but obscure the solid reality beneath that will eventually sink small interests’ hopes and dreams of wealth. I disagree with you, though, that “the only farmers making a killing on ethanol are corporate farms.” I happen to be from an area where many individual farmers have profited and continue to profit immensely from the scheme.
Ok well that was a general statement, but there are a lot more profits proportionally going to ADM , POET and Cargill than family farms or co-ops. And they may be 'profiting' but also have lot of debt and capex tied up in the enterprise and thus at greater risk than the big corporates.
I just spent $900 getting two of my fuel injectors fixed. I only have 65k miles on my car. I’ve moved out of California and can now buy ethanol free gas. My mpg went from 21 to 25.5.
I am totally with you. I worry about the 2A implications here, and really, filling out a form wrong? In any case, he should not be given prison time for this. In some sense, this charge should have read "Annoying the Deep State by not taking serious all their malarky." It seems pretty clear to me that this trial and its outcome is political theater, and as such, its very difficult to feel good about it one way or another. That it happened at all is deeply concerning.
This happens a lot. I had a research project for a client who was writing a book back in 2020, and courts/prosecutors use this form to go after 'straw purchasers' - that is, people who buy guns in order to resell or give them to someone who is not legally supposed to own a firearm. The question asks whether the person filling out the form is, in fact, the actual buyer of the firearm, and warns: “You are not the actual buyer if you are acquiring the firearm(s) on behalf of another person. If you are not the actual buyer, the dealer cannot transfer the firearm(s) to you.” Straw purchasers break the law when they answer “yes” to this question. So then they are prosecuted NOT for giving the gun to a person who is not supposed to have it, but instead for 'lying on the form' as I suppose that is easier to prosecute.
Our local rag also did a write up many years ago (before I finally gave up and cancelled them as they kept marching left) about people who would report guns stolen, but they weren't really stolen, they were given to or sold to felons or someone who wasn't supposed to have the gun. Don't remember the specifics, but remember thinking that the number of stolen guns reported by the PD was surprisingly high.
Bottom line, all this call for 'common sense gun laws' totally ignores human nature. People who want to get around the law will find a way to do it, and it just adds to the paperwork/record keeping burden and liability hassles for legit gun stores.
This question on the 4473 is likely due to reactions from “mass shooting” hysteria. Trying to legally stop people from purchasing firearms. Reality is that most criminals don’t legally purchase firearms. What’s crazy about Hunter is that they sent the secret service to the dealer who sold him the gun to try to get the 4473 form from him so there was no evidence. The dealer refused because he could lose his license. They routinely sent the secret service to extract Hunter from some of the crap he did while he was using ( and he didn’t have Secret service protection).
The Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trial, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment, and especially those who go after the flesh in its corrupt lust and despise authority. Daring, self-willed, they do not tremble when they blaspheme glorious ones[.]
I oppose forcible medication of anybody - I doubt this nonsense works, I further doubt it's safe, and - frankly - if he's too nuts to stand trial, so be it. I don't see any benefit to anyone from this.
I agree. Sad case in point is a man who has attended our church. I don’t know him well, but I believe he’s a victim of our screwed up military and medical systems. He’s retired military and apparently has had some problems, but he’s now in a mental hospital and who knows what kinds of medications they have him on. Read The Midwestern Doctor substack to understand how horrible psychotropic drugs are! They do far more harm than good.
Not so many months ago, this man was leading a Bible study at church, where he openly told the group about his severe vax injury. I’m sure there were some people who thought him absolutely looney because of that. I pray for him.
If he was still here, I wonder what Dr. Charles Krauthammer would advise?? He often spoke of how bad it would get when qualified psychiatric docs could no longer hospitalize people like Mr. Dear for a two-week observation (before they harmed anyone).😥
Medications cannot be mandatory. Everything recalled by the FDA was approved by the FDA. It is a corrupt revolving door between the FDA, big food, and drug manufacturers. Antipsychotics being one of the absolute worst drugs on the market.
Especially when, anecdotally, dietary change seems to have a high efficacy rate, with little side effect.
I mean hell, there’s a gluten-schizophrenic connection. Is it the gluten? The roundup? The gliadin? Other chemicals used in processing? Molds? Fungi? Imbalances of these?
It’s hard to say but if you look around, the majority of mental illnesses, even basic depression and ADHD, have a major food connection. Why we are medicating them as a first line of defense, especially IN KIDS is criminal. Courts should not be able to order anyone to take any medication that exists in our corrupt system. Since any system can be corrupted, it can’t be allowed.
My 2 cents after using dietary intervention instead of meds to deal with a TON of issues that cropped up on active duty. Oddly around the time I got the anthrax series. Another story.
I used to volunteer when my kids were in school. So many little boys were given “meds” because “they can’t sit still”. They were normal boys, just needed more recess breaks! 🙁
I was told by teachers very often to medicate my 3 sons. I never did! I grew up with big brothers and understood my boys were very normal. They are now well functioning independent adults.
Kids are saturated with foods and drinks that are filled with artificial colors and flavors. They are made with coal tar and are carcinogenic Dr. Feingold was ahead of his time. https://www.allsimplehealthy.com/the-feingold-diet/
I volunteered for a couple of years to deal with several grammar school kids all diagnosed "on the spectrum." All they needed was more playground and field time, a few medicine balls to gently bounce and sit on instead of chairs, and adults who weren't discipline mush-jobs. In a coed school all those kids "on the spectrum" were boys. Glad I learned from my father who grew up in a big family about Basic "Ants in the Pants" Boys 101. Out of over 200 students I worked wyjt , only the boys had allergies, ADHD (1 in all coed 30 students, ), etc. Olny one boy couldn't be in a regualr classroom. He had a state-paid aide at his elbow at all times. Could only be in a class room about 5min before starting to scream unconrtrollably. His parents were convnced his being in or near a "regular" classroom would cure him and all he needed were "the very best" teachers.. Likely vaxx injured.
I watched Ritalin arrive at schools and I helped more than one boy get rid of that fiasco. Wish I could have helped more of them.
I was teaching those kids 24 years ago. Had no clue then about the jab schedule and its injuries. I didn't understand why I was so unsettled seeing peanut allergy signs in every class window and lunch table at grammar schools I'd attended decades beforehand, a time when no kids had nut allergies, inhalers, constant rashes, or a way-to-jittery boy in any class. Had not one clue how many jabs my school district was requiring for its students.
I wholeheartedly agree with you. There is a definite connection between nutrition and mental health. Two excellent books on this topic are "Brain Energy" by Christopher Palmer and "Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind" by Georgia Ede.
Erin, great comment! In addition to diet related problems…from personal experience I can attest to the life changing benefits of adequate Vitamin D, preferably from natural sunlight and physical activity. Just taking a 10-15 minute walk every day can make a remarkable difference.
Agreed. There’s actually a ton of things. Why are we drinking fluoride? Why are we injecting so many babies and toddlers? Why don’t we go outside? Why is recess inconvenient when it makes teaching easier? Why are we using the Prussian school model to begin with? Why so much blue light? Giving screens to kids? Really?
The list is huge. I’m just saying meds can’t be mandated, START with food, and take a hard look at the rest of these things mentioned.
Look seriously at diet. The allergens often show up as neuro/psych symptoms rather than classic skin or gut symptoms. Look at gut health - 80% of our neurotransmitters are made in our guts and mostly by gut bacteria.
I feel somewhat bad to usurp Jeff’s comment section with a link from another stack, but this one is a must see. Tucker’s interview with Steve Bannon is epic!
And Jeff liked my post, which is why we love him! Jeff is without a doubt one of the most selfless freedom fighters out there. I know he would appreciate and applaud the comments of Bannon in this interview. It was inspiring to hear his brave, clear-minded stance as he talked about ‘the next man up’. I developed a new level of respect for Bannon.
Bannon’s War Room is an excellent source for a lot, in particular my understanding of de-dollarization. He drives me nuts yet I applaud his courage and determination. I would be happy to have him as my general.
Re: Robert Dear. Is everyone in Denver blind to the irony? He attacks an abortion clinic, the home of "my body, my choice", but those who would prosecute him are trying to deny him any level of bodily autonomy by forcing medication on him.
Jeff! Thank you for quoting Marcia Angell! I quoted her in some of my work as well!
My whole argument is that we have to realize that the scientific community is riddled with fraud. I just wrote an article arguing with Matthew Crawford from Rounding the Earth that we have to look at scientific data differently accounting for the amount of fraud that has occurred throughout history: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/metaphysical-terms-in-the-physical
Thanks for posting and calling this out! Greatly appreciated as always!
I know this is silly, but it shows just how scientifically illiterate the media is. Jeff Childers quoted the Telegraph:
"The Telegraph ran a muted story yesterday headlined, “June temperatures at half the level of this time last year.”
Then it shows a plot where last years temperature was 32 deg C and this years temp is 16 deg C. Sixteen degrees is not "half the level" of 32 degrees. They are both on a scale where 0 degrees has been arbitrarily assigned to when water freezes. You cannot apply relative percentage levels to arbitrarily assigned scales.
If they wanted to do that then they would need to reference it to absolute zero which is not arbitrary but absolute by definition as it's when all molecular action ceases. Converting them to that scale, last years temp was 305 Kelvin, and this years temp was 289 Kelvin. So this years temp is 94.7% of last years temp.
Like I said, it's silly but it's yet another example how those supposedly qualified to inform us have no idea what they are talking about.
Edit: Adding a note here that this may seem nitpicky but it really isn't. Anyone who paid attention in high school physics would understand that the Telegraph is obviously misapplying percentages here in their description. It was probably done flippantly without much thought, but that's the point. If one's job is to inform the public, then conveying information accurately is important. But as we've seen over and over, most journalists aren't the brightest bulbs and getting things right isn't their highest priority.
This is a brilliant observation. The lack of understanding of thermodynamics is being used to mask events like Hunga-Tonga (if that's it's real name) and the role of heating that volcanos play. If ocean floor temperatures hit new peaks before atmospheric temperatures, then what, exactly is doing the heating? It's not carbon dioxide trapping sunlight.
But we'll never see that raw data, because it would destroy the narrative for the few who could possibly understand it.
The narrative-pushers are relying on the scientific ignorance of the populace.
Good point, I didn't even notice that. I think on a popular level, most of the audience will understand them as intended (ie: "the numerical temperature value in deg. C this year is half of what it was this time last year", or put another way "this year's temperature is half way to freezing compared to last year"), but it's indeed not technically correct, and even somewhat misleading. Still, I'm less concerned about a newspaper doing this, as opposed to something that claims to be a scientific publication.
You are right in that if they has said half-way to freezing it would be accurate. But who talks like that? I don't think they meant that but probably never gave it a second's thought and actually meant 16 degrees was half of 32 degrees. 16/32 = 1/2, right? No.
There are lot's of non-technically oriented people out there and I don't mean to belittle them. And I'm not suggesting the Telegraph should have said it was 94.7% of last years temp (using Kelvin) it would have been just as absurd as no one thinks about the weather relative to absolute zero (though it would have been accurate). They should have just stated it was 16 degrees cooler than last year and left it at that.
My bigger point is that the world gets increasingly complex every day and we are constantly bombarded with figures and statistics from allegedly smart people intended to influence us. We peons are supposed to make decisions based on this info coming down from the experts. Yet as this article shows, the writer didn't understand 12th grade physics and misapplied a statistical description (percentage) in describing the phenomena. This likely happens far more often than not.
That clip of Biden brings back unpleasant memories for me. My father suffered with Alzheimer's for several years. Once my dad entered the later stages, he displayed this same frozen state and often, with the same grin or smile. It felt like he was off in his own little world completely unaware of anything going on around him. Distraction was a useful method in earlier stages but as he declined, it lost its power.
I noticed Biden’s dementia signs early on in his presidency. Someone on X posted side by side videos of Biden yesterday. One video was from 2019 and the other a recent video. The differences are dramatic. I can only imagine how many behind the scenes people are needed to care for him. It's a 24/7 job.
Edit: unless they plan to do a remake of "Weekend at Bernie's", there's no way Biden can do another 4 yrs. While I believe they've been heavily medicating him, there are no meds
If they find a way to cheat him back for another term, he will simply vanish. We all already know he's just a marionette completely uninvolved. They will simply drop the charade.
I just read a local journalist who formed his own locals to publish the news without bias. He interviewed a state police expert who said to always call the gun you legally own, your firearm. Never refer to it a weapon. It only becomes a weapon when you do bodily harm to another human being. A kitchen knife becomes that same weapon when you use it against another human to harm. After reading the New Orleans court verdict about drug users right to own a “weapon” it became clear that the media is once again using specific language to change perception.
I absolutely concur with the police expert’s advice. As Rush always said, words mean things. “Weapon” is a term with specific meaning, distinctly separate from purpose especially when it comes to firearms. In other words, firearms are designed with a purpose — to shoot small projectiles at high velocity — but their use as a “weapon” depends on the intent of the user. Walk the aisles of your local Wal-Mart or hardware store and you’ll find an endless array of POTENTIAL weapons readily available and capable of inflicting the same degree of bodily harm as a firearm, or worse (knives can cause particularly grievous wounds). It’s why the media talk of “gun violence” is so infuriating. Guns don’t cause criminal behavior, people do.
Exactly! Michigan’s governor declared June 7, Michigan gun violence day. Not gun safety day, or gun awareness day, but gun violence day, once again implying that we have to restrict guns in order to stop the violence. Pretty soon we’ll have so many objectionable state and federal days, no one in government will work any longer, not that they do now…
All the government peeps who prefer to work remotely, see the public only by appointment, and are able to skip work entirely most Fridays... I deal with lots of such city and county gov workers and try hard not to tell them they are soon RIP being so well-jabbed. I often silently say them, "Rest in Peace" as I try to give them a loving smile. When "enough" of the deluded fear-porn addicts who started and perpetuated this disaster die off the survivors will see what happens.
Regarding the mentally-mangled murderer who the System wants to medicate, I'll side with no.
Otherwise forced jabs will be the future for anyone in government possession.
Yeah - back in 2019, I'd have sided with the "yes" votes. Criminal? Check. Insane? Check. Danger to society? Check. Go for it. But these days? That's a no. Still checks all the boxes, but not the "forced medication with potentially bad side effects" one.
That _does_ open the way for all sorts of "well, he's really a danger to himself because he won't take his 45th mRNA booster + shingles + flu + hand-foot-mouth disease shot" levels of craziness. We don't need to open that door any wider than the courts left it open back in MA.
🎯
Well said, Peter.
The global villains have gone from saying dissidents are wrong to saying we’re extremists to saying we’re criminals, terrorists & then a health threat to others.
Let’s not allow them to try « they’re a danger to themselves - medicate them for their own good »....
Yep, people who spread "disinformation" (inconvenient facts) will soon be terrorists who need to be forcibly medicated for their own and society's safety.
Yes, "society's safety" is the camel's nose entering the tent. We lived through that, and it's not over yet.
Jabs please. So you will be safe and effective as a killer
Let them come ahead.
Lock him up in a mental hospital for the rest of his life. That’s what justice looks like in this case.
If they can force medicate the vulnerable, they’ll find a way to force medicate the rest of us. It’s likely they already are with our food and water supply.
I’m tired of the government’s heavy hand. I spent over half my life being in awe at the thought that I was born into the freest country on earth. When did I exchange freedom for shackles? I can’t pinpoint the exact date, but the awakening has been horrific.
They problem with asylums is they can be used to lock us up too depending on who makes the determination.
Sadly, there will always be mistakes made but there must be an effort for justice and punishment for liars, withholding of truth, bribery, tampering with witnesses, and Judges who do. Money buys morals. Now who makes the foundations of all law, men or God?
Yep.
We are ruled by a global ORGANIZED CRIME SYNDICATE.
They’re as trustworthy as Hitler & Stalin.
No way to talk about public education and TV watchers.
There's "vulnerable", and then there's "convicted murderer". Those are miles apart.
I’m in agreement with you - used to be “institutions for the criminally insane” (that’s where he belongs). Of course now, that’s just Times Square NYC!
It’s a predicament! I’m sure at some point they’d be happy to lock us up as criminally insane….
Make no mistake. That's exactly what's happening.
I fear for my children
Ha! Good one 👍
... or an Ivy League campus.
Used to be...not anymore. It's now a korporate enclave.
Absolutely agree. If we agree that forcibly medicating this man is the right thing to do, we are no better than the liberals cherry-picking who to apply constitutional rights to. It’s either right for everyone, or it’s wrong for everyone, not just for those we disagree with (or agree with!)
Agree.
No we shouldn't force medicate him. But how has his mental illness prevented them from trying him? The move to Federal Court was a chickensh*t move by the State. This is not a federal issue. This guy went postal (sorry all you postal workers) and should be tried. When you are dealing with someone this delusional, what can be done to protect their rights and secure a fair trial? Thorny issues. But medicating him to make it easier for the court to navigate this illness is not OK.
I agree - EIGHT YEARS of taxpayer funded legal maneuvering?! Seems like the most efficient way to handle this would be 1. have him certified as 'legally insane' 2. Lock him up in a mental institution the rest of his life. I might feel differently if he was in his 20's as there would be a chance of him getting out. But given his age, just keep him out of society and call it a day.
Yep - I’ve definitely changed, understanding with age and the experience of the last few years the easy jump it would be to forced vaccinations or anything else they dream up
Nazis love to kill people in prison? So thats who they are.
Agreed.
I would also side with "no", but would avoid discussion of bodily autonomy, as that is a major argument used to support abortion. It is a very tangled situation
Not really Jaye.
Your body is your body. That’s clear. It does not belong to the state or to doctors.
Whatever arguments are brought to the abortion debate, there are 2 bodies in a pregnancy: the mother’s & the child’s.
And there are 3 sets of rights: the mother’s, the father’s and the child’s.
I agree. No forced medication by the Government whatsoever without full advocation on his behalf. Why lawyers vs the Federal Government? Why does he not have a Legal Guardian, even if he is a ward of the state? That guardian should be advocating on his behalf, not legally but for a human being with inalienable rights. Just think if the Government had open season on medication: experimentation, mind altering drugs for pre -determined outcomes, negating intelligent defense of oneself, torture, or denial of needed treatment.
Bingo.
What about reopening a few of the mental hospitals that were closed down during the Reagan era where possibly those who need it could get help. Otherwise, goverment forced medication and then what, forced lobotomies like in One Flew Ocer The Cuckoo's Nest?
Well, they still get meds in the mental hospitals, depending on what's going on. If he is threatening staff safety, it'd be meds for him there too.
Ditto
Ppl who murder should be tried and given the death penalty. Mental illness considered and possible medical intervention but I've seen physical illness cause mental illness misdiagnosed and made worse OR medicated and made worse.
What a disaster? How much is caused by encouraging street drugs to begin with? How much is last of our industrial food supply? STORE BOUGHT FOOD is NOT REAL. Grow a tomato or broccoli plant and raise one chicken on grass and see. Put the manure on the plants and see that water washes and you won't die. Disclaimer: Please research. These are not conclusive instructions on how. Fresh chicken sh't, or any fresh, will burn your plant and it DOES CONTAIN PATHOGENS that you don't want to Eat. 😑
Happening since 1953.
Remember Gitmo.
When someone tells you Hunter's conviction upends Trump's narrative, offer the following Q&A
Q: What felonies was Trump convicted of?
A: Falsifying business records.
Q: Did you know that falsifying business records is a MISDEMEANOR?
A: No I did not.
Q: Do you know how those misdemeanors became felonies
A: No I don't.
Q: Do you know that misdemeanors can be elevated to felonies if committed to aid another felony?
A: Yes, that's why he was convicted.
Q: What was the "other felony" that he committed and was convicted for?
A: uh...uh...uh...
Q: So if he didn't commit another felony, how can those misdemeanors be called felonies?
A: uh...uh...uh...ORANGE MAN BAD!!!
I expect they’ll get angry and start cursing before you get past the second question
When people hug to themselves a delusion that they think is fundamental to their well being and safety, they don't' want to have that delusion challenged. Some people will get violent and/or hysterical when their delusion is assailed. The leftists have cleverly created "safe spaces" for these useful idiots and taught them that you don't ever have to worry one whit about living an unexamined life. The spaces that are "safe" in this case are the gaps in their common sense and understanding.
layer on top of that the "right to not feel offended" that the left has manufactured, and you have a nearly unassailable position. It can only be ignored and ridiculed until it crumbles.
🎯🎯🎯
My highly liberal family member, who constantly tells me how fake my news is said "he was paying to have sex with a porn star and that’s illegal ". But my news sources are bad.
Tsk tsk.
She doesn’t support the wonderful & legal work of noble « sex workers »???
LMAO seriously?! And here I thought liberals were on-board with legalized prostitution...
(Quite aside from the fact that he wasn't even allegedly "paying to have sex", he was paying her for the rights to her "story" about them supposedly having sex, which isn't illegal at all, and then allegedly "hiding" it by categorizing it as a legal expense.)
Haha. Sorry about your family. At least my MIL has stopped attacking us for not being 45 haters. I've come around to think that there is no way he actually had sex with her, or they would have asked for a lot more than the couple hundred thousand in that shakedown. That's what it was - a shakedown. But my sources are probably bad.
You mean Yelling /Screaming before u get past 2nd ?
And that's where the line:
"Get off my lawn"
came from.
LOL
Took me a few seconds to understand that. I like it!
Indeed
Yep.
Convicting Hunter Biden on gun charges is like convicting Jeffrey Dahmer of Jay Walking.
I'm so stealing that. :)
Me, too
But.... he said "pussy."
:: pearl-clutching-and-fainting-emoji ::
Some people truly can't get past the coarse language, or that "he doesn't talk the way a president should", or that he exaggerates when telling stories. But I like that he says what he thinks... it's a nice change from the old joke about "how do you know a politician is lying?". (ans: their lips are moving)
Oh the irony: My lib-Woke Hollywood sister loves to toss out the word "pussy" in mixed company for shock value. But she thinks Trump is the devil (of course). These people are so wed to their ideology they can't think straight.
Wait, she uses crude language and then objects to Trump doing the same? That is hilarious irony.
(Though I would give her a pass if her attitude was "I'm fine with Trump's language but hate him for other reasons".)
As people say:
Take Trump seriously but not literally.
Many have difficulty accepting someone in politics who is larger than life.
go listen to what Trump said in context. He didn't say it the way they want you to think he said it. That's the problem. They took it out of context & repeated it ad nauseum so much that no one knows what he actually said.
Yes, exactly like when he talked about ultraviolet light as a disinfectant for viruses (which it is). Somehow, they changed that to "TRUMP SAID TO DRINK BLEACH TO CURE COVID!!" TDS sufferers are insane.
Right. None of it matters....cuz....HITLER!
You nailed it. Went down this same path with some TDS folks after the verdict came out. You forgot the next part (bangs head against the wall as that is more productive).
Oh, I can rarely get as far as that in a conversation before the irrefutable "Orange Man Bad!" argument is produced🤪.
Excellent.
How I have this talk with my Blue addled friends. The captured MSM is the Transnationals main weapon. There must be a way to disrupt it.
Persistence. Flowing water can carve canyons out of rock.
Spot on.
You’re disrupting it by talking & writing, Skunk!
Keep going!
I get to this point quicker by asking to specify what business records and falsified how, and how you can influence elections by bookkeeping. But even those with no TDS can't answer those questions. The media totally confused everybody and hushed up the details. By contrast, everybody knows that the Hunter's case was about purchasing a gun, not some vague "failed to fill a form properly to advance another crime".
And - all politicians influence elections! That's how they get into office. And very few people know it was actually one transaction cut into 34 pieces.
Well, from what I understand, he was just paying his lawyer every month, but if you take 34 of those payments and add them together it equals the amount that was paid to Stormy, which is "proof" that it was secretly in fact a reimbursement of that money and not actually "legal expenses". Or did I misremember?
actually, it wasn't 34 payments. It was a combination of accepted invoices, general ledger postings, and checks. I guess Trump is lucky the didn't consider every key stroke involved to be a felony!
But you can ask "so, what are the other 33?". I find it the dumbest part that people contradict to themselves.
What did Steve Bannon do ? He goes to jail July 1
refused to comply with a subpoena... just like Hunter did... but was Hunter ever charged? ever convicted? no, so there is no equity in the DOJ
Thanks Momcat
That is too good, not to share repeatedly all over the world. Thanks!
Hillary Clinton did the same thing and was fined $8,000.
Nailed it, Neil!
I only got to the first paragraph before I had to post about how sick I am of Hunter Biden being referred to as a child. Not only has he not been a child in like 40 years, the infantilization of the term is disgusting. One more way to pretend that he’s the victim.
He is 54 YEARS OLD
He a grown a$$ man.
Call him his
progeny
issue
spawn
progeniture
scion
successor
heir
fruit of one's loins
chip off the old block
descendant
bagman
fall guy
but he is not a CHILD!!!
Fall guy seems the most apt. I can see a conversation in a room in the White House. "H, you have to take one for the team. Grandma Garland will push through and prosecute you for these lesser charges. Don't worry about prision. Worst case, I'll be sure you won't slip through the "crack"s if that happens. "
Eventually they eat their own. Though Biden is only one rung above a cadaver.
You forgot "offspring." LOL
Or simply 'son'.
I prefer bagman, myself.
or maybe, chip off the ol' block.
😂😂😂
How about ‘adult son’? Seems simple enough.
But some of your options are freaking hilarious.
He’s 54?!?
Drugs are bad for you.
I just commented how I’m absolutely done with anything relating to this creep & please no more drugged out photos it’s sickening
Sarah, we need to keep the drugged out photo reality in the public eye, because if you watched any coverage on TV (and we only have Newsmax on) you’re seeing video of Hunter as a nicely dressed handsome man, walking purposefully into court hand in hand with his beautiful wife.
No, the drugged out photo is the real Hunter. It may be sickening, but it’s the picture that’s worth a thousand words, portraying the entire Biden crime family.
Marco Polo has the receipts from the laptop. Took months to clean it up enough to publish, because of all the inappropriate images.
The drugged-out Hunter reveals his work clothes, hard at it raising millions for Tha Family.
Absolutely! Agree. The messaging here is a sham
He looks like every mother’s nightmare. A mobster just reeking of a need for a pair of cement 👞👞. Yuck.
Right? Like gutter scum that tries to clean himself up by putting on a suit but the gutter scum is still all over him.
Joe and Jill Biden are definitely gutter scum, too.
Every time I see him he looks kind of crazy....his eyes look crazy.
His father is crazy, so...
To me he seems like an overgrown baby, not too bright, vulnerable and lost soul.
That is why daddy babies him, I think.
I don't fault him the addiction, but in contrast, RFKJR has openly discussed his heroin addiction and how God helped him out of that dark abyss. Because they say it is hell on earth.
How Hunter got clean without God, I don't know..or maybe he did ask God for help? 🤷
I’m sick of him completely. Enough
Lolol exactly.
In this case Biden-spawn might be appropriate
“Spawn of Biden” plants the seed to bring to mind another spawn.
Sorta pisses me off that they call him ‘Jill’s son’. He’s her step son. And I’m sure she doesn’t love him like a son. Sick, co-dependent creeps.
Also that she used taxpayer funds to go jetting back and forth from France to his trial 🤬
Updated news on that: the Democratic party is going to cover it for her.
I read they were only covering a portion of it.
🤷 I didn't read the article, just briefly saw the headline..probably misleading as usual. Thanks.
Yeah I think you’re right, it was buried in order to give the impression that taxpayers weren’t on the hook for it. Unless the party decided to cover more than they originally stated.
This is where I read about it:
https://twitchy.com/dougp/2024/06/10/climate-change-alarmist-jill-biden-had-a-heck-of-a-carbon-footprint-last-week-guess-whos-paying-n2397145
And the doctor allowed her daughter to shower with her husband.
🤮
Did we ever find out what kind of doctor? 🧐🤣
An honorary doctorate or something in education.
Jill is trying to keep the house of cards from collapsing. She is out of her lane with this den if vipers.
Jill is committing elder abuse, plain and simple.
Agree. I doubt she was given options, short of “you handle him or we will find someone who will.” That bed they made is full of nails.
Totally agree. She and the handlers are complicit.
You can be old, but still a child. Sadly - Hunter _does_ fit that picture all too well. :(
Then it’s a massive parenting failure. I’m Hunters age and I don’t even think of my own kids as children, and the youngest is 19. They’re all in charge of their own lives and decision making. The Biden family is just incredibly dysfunctional.
& Ashley, suffering in silence.
Every family for every candidate for public office should be vetted. Sure, we all have nuts in our family trees, but simply compare "the smartest man" Joe knows to the Trump kids. It's not like we don't have ancient advice to follow. “Select capable men from all the people—men who fear God, trustworthy men who hate dishonest gain—and appoint them as officials” (Exodus 18:21).
Well, I'd say that the Biden approval rating is a rough (but likely low) indication about how many adults are still children.
It is frightening that 37.4% of the people in this country approve and support him.
well now you know who would line you up in a firing squad...and think they were doing "good".
i think it's a favor.
It's better knowing 62.6% don't. That's a massive landslide if we get out the vote.
He likely is a victim of abuse by his father, but I agree with your statement.
I think this is likely also, and he’s definitely the family scapegoat.
Am even more tired of all the people saying how much Joe Biden loves his son. Also infantilizing, and completely irrelevant.
IMO, there must be something infantile which brings this out in Joe. I see Hunter as not very bright (Chinese businessman in their illegal dealings confirmed this by testifying that "his dog is smarter"), vulnerable, and something of a spiritually lost soul. Just the way his face looked , the way Jill and his wife clutched his hands..something is off. That is, imo, the reason Joe babies him.
100%!
Thank you to all who commented and sent thoughts & prayers regard my Brother’s adverse reaction to paxlovid. He is out of the hospital 😮💨
The doctors are baffled. Surprise!! It’s a waiting game now
One of my goals in posting is once again to alert folks that doctors don’t know what they are doing. They deliberately gave a medication that should not have been given. Ignorance is no excuse
If your brother had a heart condition and the doctor prescribed it to your brother anyway, then the doctor could be liable. The warnings say to tell your doctor if you have a heart condition. We had the same issue with a man at our church who had a heart condition and he brought that up to his doctor when he prescribed paxlovid. The doctor just flippantly brushed off his concerns. He ended up taking the medication for a day but the side effects were so bad that he stopped taking it. I had warned him before he started taking it.
My sister has is a pharmacist and she had to check those interactions all . the . time. Spent more time on the phones trying to work things out with the prescribing "doctor" to avoid killing or harming patients. No idea how her work in that field goes these days, but I know pre-crazy times she took a lot of care to avoid mixing meds that would lead to harm.
I have not tried to bring up what her thoughts might be on mRNA shots. I suspect she was pretty much "for" them in the early days, but that could have changed. Doesn't help that she's in a blue state surrounded by the crazy.
A good pharmacist is sometimes more important than a doctor. We love ours.
It’s good to see your comments. Hope is still alive for Portland.
AS a pharmacist, and very anti-jab, I couldn't WAIT to get my hands on the package insert, to read all.
It's completely blank. For all. Still.
Same thing happened to my neighbor. Thankfully, it made him feel so bad that he stopped taking it on his own.
One dose did it within hours
Oh my. That's awful.
Well, he had to hold his mommy’s hand when he left court (even though she’s not his mommy and she can’t stand him!) Man, she’s a piece of work…but that’s a whole ‘nother story!
I was thinking the same thing. Really, she had to come and hold his hand.
more likely, she's acting as his handler, like she does with Joe, or alternatively, still the nanny in the family
She was also there as a visible reminder to the judge, jury and public that they (we) are messing with the Biden (Crime) Family….
All those Bidens at the trial right up front behind Hunter, that was clearly designed to be jury intimidation. I would sure like to hear or read comments from some of the other jurors about all this.
I read that someone, the prosecutor I think, told the jury to ignore that Jill Biden was there.
Thankfully no heart condition
he trusted and obeyed the doctor anyway- sad. At least the pharma company gave fair warning
Of course, the Pharma company knows no one looks at the warnings especially the doctors.
Doctors today don't give a damn to ask about health conditions which you might have which the drug box itself gives warning to.
They are drug dealers who are as irresponsible as a drug dealer on the corner 'in the hood'.
I research everything! Thank God I do..it has saved mine and my family's life/ health a few times.
Unfortunately, I totally understand and I have experienced the same thing. You have to be your own advocate and also for your family.
Thank God he is out of the hospital. Praying & asking for Gods protection over him and Blessings on you Dr. Linda
Get him on one of the flccc protocols!🙏
Of course, I already did that. : )
Happy to hear your brother is out of the hospital 🙂
Good news...thanks for the update!
Thank you for caring
This also happens to our pets while in veterinary care. Pfizer et al have captured much of that profession.
13yr old pup was diagnosed last year with splenic mast/tumour (that means lymphatic system as it's the largest lymph organ).
Vet offered $7500 removal protocol (anesthesia, surgery, resection, closure/stitches, antibiotics, immune suppressents (due to spleen removal) and slow recovery with no guarantees (normal life expectancy for pup that age is 4 to 6 months).
Went the IVM route instead at $50/month, and he's still sniffing/pooping/eating/drinking/walking and enjoying life 9 months later.
Yep, doing the research was amazingly helpful.
Here's a couple sites if you or someone you know is learning about pet cancer(s).
https://fendbendazole.org
https://fenbendazole.substack.com
Fenbendazole is one of the family of IVM products.
Works for humans as well so states the evolving literature.
Absolutely
Our vet just told us to stop giving our dog Apoquel because it causes liver problems and his enzymes were elevated.
Our ten y/o male cat received a vet-prescribed injection of Pfizer's "Cerenia" to stimulate his appetite, which he lost during a recent bout with a mystery bacterial illness. This formerly-outgoing and friendly cat has become a zombie. Cerenia transits the brain blood barrier ... can you name another Pfizer product for humans that also does that??
I'm sorry to hear this happened to your cat. It's ridiculous that we all have to do our own research on any medications now.
👍🏻
Good to hear! Continued prayers for his healing.
So glad to hear he is out of the hospital!! Thank you for the update! Continuing to pray for him!!
That is wonderful news! Here's to a full recovery!
Thank you very much
“Unless the Lord builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the Lord guards the city, The watchman stays awake in vain.”
Psalms 127:1 NKJV
https://bible.com/bible/114/psa.127.1.NKJV
And regarding that watchman, this morning I reached Ezekiel 33 (here vs 1-6 from the KJV 1769) and was struck:
33:1 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
33:2 Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman:
33:3 If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;
33:4 Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.
33:5 He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.
33:6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.
Wow! Thank you- I love the Bible rabbit hole this sends me down!
The Word of God is meant to give you life, strength and comfort!
His word ALWAYS gives me what I need! It is the essential food for my soul. 🙏
When I hear/read a verse someone posts I have to go look for context (unless I automatically remember) by reading at least 4 verses before & 4 after. It usually doesn’t end there. A nourishing and exciting rabbit hole that I desperately need.
I always find new applications to what I’m currently working through. That is how God works through other people.
I feel the same.
it'll also cut you down to size...which is needed
So important. Humility + being proud to pick up the sword when trumpets call are pieces of the puzzle we need to put back together.
What bothers me most about the Hunter Biden case is that I have a hard time with arguing that ANYONE should go to jail for lying on the ATF form as I would argue there should not be a form in the first place. This is one of those totally selective 'gotcha' laws, that are only enforced when there is an agenda to get someone for something else, and they don't think they can get a conviction, so the 'lying on form 4473' is a convenient vehicle.
And I already KNEW that if he was convicted, the TDS crowd would use this verdict as bludgeon against anyone who wants to argue that the justice system is weaponized against Trump and Trump supporters. Think that was the whole purpose of the trial in the first place.
I believe Hunter made a deal long before this case. Think laptop. The rest is for show. The form maybe unconstitutional but right now it’s law and anyone else would go to prison for lying on it. Hopefully one day the laws will be cleaned up. A few years ago I would have said there is no way, but now I see possibilities.
188K pages in the Code of Federal Regulations. https://regulatorystudies.columbian.gwu.edu/sites/g/files/zaxdzs4751/files/2024-03/cfr_pages_by_calendar_year.pdf Anyone with enough time and money can dig through and find something on almost anyone. The federal bureaucracy is out of control, but nothing a giant axe to their funding can't fix.
Or a chainsaw....
Same thought lol 😂 I posted before I saw yours!
Me too!
I agree! But HB is guilty of much more serious crimes that are more detrimental to our country than lying on a form. Those things he will never be charged with.
I will save your link to take a look at it. Yes Cut the funding!!
I worry that any further attempt to use the laptop to pursue these other very enormous crimes will be shouted down "He was already convicted, why do you keep bringing this up?"

Problem is too often, we the people actually clamor for this. How many times do you hear "there ought to be a law...." but reality is there probably already is, it's just not enforced, or it's selectively enforced.
Yes! My Dad always says that! We don't need more laws we have them they are not enforced!
Exactly.
I think Tacitus said: "The more numerous the laws, the more corrupt the state." (Or vice-versa).
The ouroboros of obfuscation.
But even worse; the law has now become an instrument for illegality.
Ugh I hate it when people say that and tell them there are already too many laws!

Of course there was a deal struck with Hunter. The timing of all this reeks and is intentional, but somehow that elephant sitting directly on the lap of America will never be discussed as such in the media. Peripheral nonsense will go on indefinitely though. This is like talking to many about solar “farms”. It’s not going across the road from them, so they can’t fathom that no suddenly appearing solar company can pay farmers, triple the going crop prices to lease their land, put millions into setting all these panels up with construction and maintenance costs, have no solar buyer for their energy, but will find some energy company willing to pay exorbitant price for 12 to 18% energy without there being government money subsidizing all of this. They just don’t get it.
Well I am a weather nerd, and when I am looking for an escape, I follow storm chaser Reed Timmer's live feeds and follow a number of other chasers. This has been an active year for severe storms and tornadoes - and I have seen several pictures of solar farms taken out by big hail stones. These things are toxic waste and there is no recycling them, One more tic in the 'green tech is NOT green' column.
Well said!!
The ethanol from corn scheme (scam?) works similarly. Climate change nuts demand that ethanol be put in gasoline (which ultimately gums up engines), which creates a demand for ethanol from corn, farmers make a fortune from the demand, consumers get screwed (ruined engines and health from living near Roundup ready crops), but hey at least those poor farmers, engine repair shops, and medical facilities are raking it in.
The only farmers making a killing on ethanol are corporate farms. It was a boon for small farms/co-ops when it was first introduced but due to too much price instability, most co-op owned ethanol plants have been bought out by big ag. https://iowarfa.org/ethanol-center/ethanol-biorefineries/
I came onto write this very thing. I live in a rural agricultural area of Michigan. A big farm here is 600 to 1000 acres, a third of which is normally leased land from smaller farmers retiring. Ethanol in it’s early going 40 years ago, produced one co-op plant around here. It didn’t last a decade. There are no farmers around here that have gotten rich on growing corn for ethanol.
The farmers who are leasing farm land for these abominable solar “parks” or “farms”, they are neither, will end up with useless farmland within a decade after these investment companies sell off or go bankrupt. They can call them renewable all they want, they are unsustainable and we all know it.
Reminds me seeing for the first time wind turbine towers at Altamont Pass in California. Those were all in fact tax dodges for the owners with cash to burn on any New Investment to offset profots elsewhere with tax losses cost in wind power installation as they made sweet & special tax break profits selling "green" electrical power for this new "good" thing. Now most of those wind turbines on that pass have fallen into broken bits or don't work. Way to too expensive to haul the bits away t the hazardous waste landfills they require. Shell companies playing a NYC street con artist's game while bird carcasses pile up under them and vulture soar looking for their next meal.
For at least 20 years I have occasionally driven through an area where I can see those turbines....they don't ever seem to be running even though that's in a windy area.
As usual, big business interests push for legislation and mandates that look good on the surface but obscure the solid reality beneath that will eventually sink small interests’ hopes and dreams of wealth. I disagree with you, though, that “the only farmers making a killing on ethanol are corporate farms.” I happen to be from an area where many individual farmers have profited and continue to profit immensely from the scheme.
Ok well that was a general statement, but there are a lot more profits proportionally going to ADM , POET and Cargill than family farms or co-ops. And they may be 'profiting' but also have lot of debt and capex tied up in the enterprise and thus at greater risk than the big corporates.
I just spent $900 getting two of my fuel injectors fixed. I only have 65k miles on my car. I’ve moved out of California and can now buy ethanol free gas. My mpg went from 21 to 25.5.
I am totally with you. I worry about the 2A implications here, and really, filling out a form wrong? In any case, he should not be given prison time for this. In some sense, this charge should have read "Annoying the Deep State by not taking serious all their malarky." It seems pretty clear to me that this trial and its outcome is political theater, and as such, its very difficult to feel good about it one way or another. That it happened at all is deeply concerning.
This happens a lot. I had a research project for a client who was writing a book back in 2020, and courts/prosecutors use this form to go after 'straw purchasers' - that is, people who buy guns in order to resell or give them to someone who is not legally supposed to own a firearm. The question asks whether the person filling out the form is, in fact, the actual buyer of the firearm, and warns: “You are not the actual buyer if you are acquiring the firearm(s) on behalf of another person. If you are not the actual buyer, the dealer cannot transfer the firearm(s) to you.” Straw purchasers break the law when they answer “yes” to this question. So then they are prosecuted NOT for giving the gun to a person who is not supposed to have it, but instead for 'lying on the form' as I suppose that is easier to prosecute.
Our local rag also did a write up many years ago (before I finally gave up and cancelled them as they kept marching left) about people who would report guns stolen, but they weren't really stolen, they were given to or sold to felons or someone who wasn't supposed to have the gun. Don't remember the specifics, but remember thinking that the number of stolen guns reported by the PD was surprisingly high.
Bottom line, all this call for 'common sense gun laws' totally ignores human nature. People who want to get around the law will find a way to do it, and it just adds to the paperwork/record keeping burden and liability hassles for legit gun stores.
This question on the 4473 is likely due to reactions from “mass shooting” hysteria. Trying to legally stop people from purchasing firearms. Reality is that most criminals don’t legally purchase firearms. What’s crazy about Hunter is that they sent the secret service to the dealer who sold him the gun to try to get the 4473 form from him so there was no evidence. The dealer refused because he could lose his license. They routinely sent the secret service to extract Hunter from some of the crap he did while he was using ( and he didn’t have Secret service protection).
Thank God for that guy

Good point
The Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trial, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment, and especially those who go after the flesh in its corrupt lust and despise authority. Daring, self-willed, they do not tremble when they blaspheme glorious ones[.]

This is the passage I saved for today's #30Daysof Pride post on fb.

I oppose forcible medication of anybody - I doubt this nonsense works, I further doubt it's safe, and - frankly - if he's too nuts to stand trial, so be it. I don't see any benefit to anyone from this.
I agree. Sad case in point is a man who has attended our church. I don’t know him well, but I believe he’s a victim of our screwed up military and medical systems. He’s retired military and apparently has had some problems, but he’s now in a mental hospital and who knows what kinds of medications they have him on. Read The Midwestern Doctor substack to understand how horrible psychotropic drugs are! They do far more harm than good.
Not so many months ago, this man was leading a Bible study at church, where he openly told the group about his severe vax injury. I’m sure there were some people who thought him absolutely looney because of that. I pray for him.
Now there's a point. Our "President" was not long ago declared too aged to stand trial. Hmmm.....but our justice system is even-handed.
If he was still here, I wonder what Dr. Charles Krauthammer would advise?? He often spoke of how bad it would get when qualified psychiatric docs could no longer hospitalize people like Mr. Dear for a two-week observation (before they harmed anyone).😥
Medications cannot be mandatory. Everything recalled by the FDA was approved by the FDA. It is a corrupt revolving door between the FDA, big food, and drug manufacturers. Antipsychotics being one of the absolute worst drugs on the market.
Especially when, anecdotally, dietary change seems to have a high efficacy rate, with little side effect.
I mean hell, there’s a gluten-schizophrenic connection. Is it the gluten? The roundup? The gliadin? Other chemicals used in processing? Molds? Fungi? Imbalances of these?
It’s hard to say but if you look around, the majority of mental illnesses, even basic depression and ADHD, have a major food connection. Why we are medicating them as a first line of defense, especially IN KIDS is criminal. Courts should not be able to order anyone to take any medication that exists in our corrupt system. Since any system can be corrupted, it can’t be allowed.
My 2 cents after using dietary intervention instead of meds to deal with a TON of issues that cropped up on active duty. Oddly around the time I got the anthrax series. Another story.
I used to volunteer when my kids were in school. So many little boys were given “meds” because “they can’t sit still”. They were normal boys, just needed more recess breaks! 🙁
I was told by teachers very often to medicate my 3 sons. I never did! I grew up with big brothers and understood my boys were very normal. They are now well functioning independent adults.
Yay You🤓 I too was lucky to have big brothers🤗
Kids are saturated with foods and drinks that are filled with artificial colors and flavors. They are made with coal tar and are carcinogenic Dr. Feingold was ahead of his time. https://www.allsimplehealthy.com/the-feingold-diet/
It’s a combination of bad food and no fun exercise outdoors!⚽️🏀🏈⚾️🎾🏐🏒⛸️🛷🎣
I volunteered for a couple of years to deal with several grammar school kids all diagnosed "on the spectrum." All they needed was more playground and field time, a few medicine balls to gently bounce and sit on instead of chairs, and adults who weren't discipline mush-jobs. In a coed school all those kids "on the spectrum" were boys. Glad I learned from my father who grew up in a big family about Basic "Ants in the Pants" Boys 101. Out of over 200 students I worked wyjt , only the boys had allergies, ADHD (1 in all coed 30 students, ), etc. Olny one boy couldn't be in a regualr classroom. He had a state-paid aide at his elbow at all times. Could only be in a class room about 5min before starting to scream unconrtrollably. His parents were convnced his being in or near a "regular" classroom would cure him and all he needed were "the very best" teachers.. Likely vaxx injured.
I watched Ritalin arrive at schools and I helped more than one boy get rid of that fiasco. Wish I could have helped more of them.
We often feel we don’t do enough! And yes, so much is coming out about the “baby shots” and SIDS, both being related to death or behavior.🥺
I was teaching those kids 24 years ago. Had no clue then about the jab schedule and its injuries. I didn't understand why I was so unsettled seeing peanut allergy signs in every class window and lunch table at grammar schools I'd attended decades beforehand, a time when no kids had nut allergies, inhalers, constant rashes, or a way-to-jittery boy in any class. Had not one clue how many jabs my school district was requiring for its students.
Exactly. More recess breaks and a few more lessons on self-discipline at home will help many more kids become better citizens.
But taking a pill is so much easier than behavior mod. See wegovy.
I wholeheartedly agree with you. There is a definite connection between nutrition and mental health. Two excellent books on this topic are "Brain Energy" by Christopher Palmer and "Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind" by Georgia Ede.
I recently listened to Dr. Palmer on Jorden Peterson podcast! I have been telling ppl this for years, but I didn’t know about him!
I will look into the other person you mentioned too!!!
Hi James. Here's an interview with Georgia Ede you might enjoy. https://youtu.be/9Gsq0E2bxNI?si=6vZMXivmKOAi-ZWD
Erin, great comment! In addition to diet related problems…from personal experience I can attest to the life changing benefits of adequate Vitamin D, preferably from natural sunlight and physical activity. Just taking a 10-15 minute walk every day can make a remarkable difference.
Agreed. There’s actually a ton of things. Why are we drinking fluoride? Why are we injecting so many babies and toddlers? Why don’t we go outside? Why is recess inconvenient when it makes teaching easier? Why are we using the Prussian school model to begin with? Why so much blue light? Giving screens to kids? Really?
The list is huge. I’m just saying meds can’t be mandated, START with food, and take a hard look at the rest of these things mentioned.
As soon as we see evil clearly, we can be free of it. Every institution is corrupt and does the opposite of what it claims.
Yes! Absolutely this!
Look seriously at diet. The allergens often show up as neuro/psych symptoms rather than classic skin or gut symptoms. Look at gut health - 80% of our neurotransmitters are made in our guts and mostly by gut bacteria.
I feel somewhat bad to usurp Jeff’s comment section with a link from another stack, but this one is a must see. Tucker’s interview with Steve Bannon is epic!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGRMp-GkIwo
And Jeff liked my post, which is why we love him! Jeff is without a doubt one of the most selfless freedom fighters out there. I know he would appreciate and applaud the comments of Bannon in this interview. It was inspiring to hear his brave, clear-minded stance as he talked about ‘the next man up’. I developed a new level of respect for Bannon.
Bannon’s War Room is an excellent source for a lot, in particular my understanding of de-dollarization. He drives me nuts yet I applaud his courage and determination. I would be happy to have him as my general.
i dunno. i think it's just as fun when he "likes" something, but "can't" like it for fear of a digital tattoo....:)
Thanks. Love Tucker !
"Next man up"-I'm ALL in
Great interview.
Watched this morning!
Another warrior calling on Jesus Christ and the next man standing. This is all getting very encouraging.
Yes it was!
Great interview. Love SKB!
Re: Robert Dear. Is everyone in Denver blind to the irony? He attacks an abortion clinic, the home of "my body, my choice", but those who would prosecute him are trying to deny him any level of bodily autonomy by forcing medication on him.
Exactly like "You have to take this jab, your choices don't count."
The hypocrisy is blinding
Jeff! Thank you for quoting Marcia Angell! I quoted her in some of my work as well!
My whole argument is that we have to realize that the scientific community is riddled with fraud. I just wrote an article arguing with Matthew Crawford from Rounding the Earth that we have to look at scientific data differently accounting for the amount of fraud that has occurred throughout history: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/metaphysical-terms-in-the-physical
Thanks for posting and calling this out! Greatly appreciated as always!
It is not just the scientific community. The whole of societal communities are corrupt. The pope is corrupt, for heaven's sake!
Happy good morning C&C peeps 🌞☕️🐣
Morning Beth!
Morning Val! 😎
I know this is silly, but it shows just how scientifically illiterate the media is. Jeff Childers quoted the Telegraph:
"The Telegraph ran a muted story yesterday headlined, “June temperatures at half the level of this time last year.”
Then it shows a plot where last years temperature was 32 deg C and this years temp is 16 deg C. Sixteen degrees is not "half the level" of 32 degrees. They are both on a scale where 0 degrees has been arbitrarily assigned to when water freezes. You cannot apply relative percentage levels to arbitrarily assigned scales.
If they wanted to do that then they would need to reference it to absolute zero which is not arbitrary but absolute by definition as it's when all molecular action ceases. Converting them to that scale, last years temp was 305 Kelvin, and this years temp was 289 Kelvin. So this years temp is 94.7% of last years temp.
Like I said, it's silly but it's yet another example how those supposedly qualified to inform us have no idea what they are talking about.
Edit: Adding a note here that this may seem nitpicky but it really isn't. Anyone who paid attention in high school physics would understand that the Telegraph is obviously misapplying percentages here in their description. It was probably done flippantly without much thought, but that's the point. If one's job is to inform the public, then conveying information accurately is important. But as we've seen over and over, most journalists aren't the brightest bulbs and getting things right isn't their highest priority.
This is a brilliant observation. The lack of understanding of thermodynamics is being used to mask events like Hunga-Tonga (if that's it's real name) and the role of heating that volcanos play. If ocean floor temperatures hit new peaks before atmospheric temperatures, then what, exactly is doing the heating? It's not carbon dioxide trapping sunlight.
But we'll never see that raw data, because it would destroy the narrative for the few who could possibly understand it.
The narrative-pushers are relying on the scientific ignorance of the populace.
Nice breakdown. Logic and real science need to make a comeback, and the MSM needs a loud and thorough shredding.
Good point, I didn't even notice that. I think on a popular level, most of the audience will understand them as intended (ie: "the numerical temperature value in deg. C this year is half of what it was this time last year", or put another way "this year's temperature is half way to freezing compared to last year"), but it's indeed not technically correct, and even somewhat misleading. Still, I'm less concerned about a newspaper doing this, as opposed to something that claims to be a scientific publication.
You are right in that if they has said half-way to freezing it would be accurate. But who talks like that? I don't think they meant that but probably never gave it a second's thought and actually meant 16 degrees was half of 32 degrees. 16/32 = 1/2, right? No.
There are lot's of non-technically oriented people out there and I don't mean to belittle them. And I'm not suggesting the Telegraph should have said it was 94.7% of last years temp (using Kelvin) it would have been just as absurd as no one thinks about the weather relative to absolute zero (though it would have been accurate). They should have just stated it was 16 degrees cooler than last year and left it at that.
My bigger point is that the world gets increasingly complex every day and we are constantly bombarded with figures and statistics from allegedly smart people intended to influence us. We peons are supposed to make decisions based on this info coming down from the experts. Yet as this article shows, the writer didn't understand 12th grade physics and misapplied a statistical description (percentage) in describing the phenomena. This likely happens far more often than not.
Excellent point- thank you!
That clip of Biden brings back unpleasant memories for me. My father suffered with Alzheimer's for several years. Once my dad entered the later stages, he displayed this same frozen state and often, with the same grin or smile. It felt like he was off in his own little world completely unaware of anything going on around him. Distraction was a useful method in earlier stages but as he declined, it lost its power.
I noticed Biden’s dementia signs early on in his presidency. Someone on X posted side by side videos of Biden yesterday. One video was from 2019 and the other a recent video. The differences are dramatic. I can only imagine how many behind the scenes people are needed to care for him. It's a 24/7 job.
Edit: unless they plan to do a remake of "Weekend at Bernie's", there's no way Biden can do another 4 yrs. While I believe they've been heavily medicating him, there are no meds
available to recover cognitive loss.
I watched my mother do the freeze frame often also. Starring but with nobody home. Very sad to watch.
If they find a way to cheat him back for another term, he will simply vanish. We all already know he's just a marionette completely uninvolved. They will simply drop the charade.
I just read a local journalist who formed his own locals to publish the news without bias. He interviewed a state police expert who said to always call the gun you legally own, your firearm. Never refer to it a weapon. It only becomes a weapon when you do bodily harm to another human being. A kitchen knife becomes that same weapon when you use it against another human to harm. After reading the New Orleans court verdict about drug users right to own a “weapon” it became clear that the media is once again using specific language to change perception.
I absolutely concur with the police expert’s advice. As Rush always said, words mean things. “Weapon” is a term with specific meaning, distinctly separate from purpose especially when it comes to firearms. In other words, firearms are designed with a purpose — to shoot small projectiles at high velocity — but their use as a “weapon” depends on the intent of the user. Walk the aisles of your local Wal-Mart or hardware store and you’ll find an endless array of POTENTIAL weapons readily available and capable of inflicting the same degree of bodily harm as a firearm, or worse (knives can cause particularly grievous wounds). It’s why the media talk of “gun violence” is so infuriating. Guns don’t cause criminal behavior, people do.
Exactly! Michigan’s governor declared June 7, Michigan gun violence day. Not gun safety day, or gun awareness day, but gun violence day, once again implying that we have to restrict guns in order to stop the violence. Pretty soon we’ll have so many objectionable state and federal days, no one in government will work any longer, not that they do now…
All the government peeps who prefer to work remotely, see the public only by appointment, and are able to skip work entirely most Fridays... I deal with lots of such city and county gov workers and try hard not to tell them they are soon RIP being so well-jabbed. I often silently say them, "Rest in Peace" as I try to give them a loving smile. When "enough" of the deluded fear-porn addicts who started and perpetuated this disaster die off the survivors will see what happens.
