Biden debate debacle continues; Supreme Court drops three terrific mega-decisions; and Oklahoma throws the book at secular liberal public school educators. Plus lots more.
😂😂 We hoarded some too. My supply was dwindling so I recently HAD to buy some of the fabulous, guaranteed to last 10-15 years LED’s. That guarantee is as much a lie as everything else the libs push. They don’t last any longer than incandescent bulbs.
Invest in some blue-light filtering glasses - good for PC and phone use, too. Here is one source (not the cheapest) of quality products: https://www.theraspecs.com/
Here we go again with the childish, silly open ended questions. Instead of asking "how so" how about you go do your very own research and present your very own findings?
Maybe because everything we try to look up on the internet is censored. If you have a link to share, we’d love to read it because we may not find the same link ourselves. Conversations between (presumably) real people are crucial in the face of censorship.
But still, would you or someone else mind linking to something? It sounds intuitively correct but I'd like some ammunition for family doubters. Thank you.
More than anything else, LED lighting's problems are rooted in their 60-cycle/second flicker and the overabundance of blue frequency radiation in their light output. Here's a solution to the blue light problem, a solution that works well for me as I spend hours per day video editing on a PC: https://www.theraspecs.com/
I was thinking the same thing. It's like how old computers had the refresh rate that you'd notice if you looked at the screen from an angle. That similar rapid flickering effect is something I notice with LEDs, especially when they're on a dimmer switch.
Most screw base LEDs use switcher power supplies running at frequencies above human hearing and the eye's perception. White LEDs are blue LEDs with a phosphor coat that absorbs the blue light and emits white light. You can get white LEDs with different spectra, generally called soft or bright.
This is caused by the fact that white LEDs do not exist. They are blue LEDs with a phosphor that absorbs the bright blue light and emits white light, sometimes with a lot of blue light leakage. Since human eyes are most sensitive to blue light, and it factors into consciousness and wakefulness, as do autism and epilepsy, it needs to be considered in the management and treatment of those conditions.
Nope they don't last any longer and yes, I threw mine straight into the trashcan. If they don't want them there, they need to start sending a truck through my neighborhood weekly to collect them.
I am similarly rebelling by reducing my recycling efforts. If a can or bottle needs extensive washing, it goes into the trashcan instead. Take that, globalists! Actually, I wonder if everything I put into the recycling bin at the convenience center goes into the trash instead. We did have that problem years ago.
My niece was busy at the recycling center when the big truck pulled up and every bin got emptied into the back.She asked the guy "What's up?" and he replied, "It all goes to a landfill. But folks want to think they're helping the environment, so we do it." She had been washing, stripping, and sorting cans and bottles for years. No longer :(
I was a member of one of the Kiwanis Clubs in Manatee county (FL) from 2016-2020. During that time, the head of the county recycling center came to give a presentation. Turned out that for years Manatee county sent the majority of the collected recycled material from the recycle center to the landfill. The recycle center only made money off of the plastics 1 & 2 which were clean of all food debris and for bottles didn’t still have that little ring around the top from the lid which was a different level of plastic. All plastics 1 & 2 which were bagged or not perfectly clean, along with all metal, paper, cardboard, glass, and all other levels of plastic clean or not were sent to the landfill. Why? Because there was no profit in selling those other recycled materials. Why did the recycle center spend money on trucks, workers, and facilities to pick up trash that could never be recycled only to then truck that material to the landfill? The recycle center was mandated by law to pick up the useless trash that was listed in the law as “recyclable.” Why not tell the taxpayers so they would stop supplying the trash in their recycle bins for pick up? Because that would reduce tonnage of “recycling” and might make people “hesitant to recycle.” The topper to the meeting was when the guy explained that the county set the recycling center’s budget on the tonnage of recycled materials collected. And each year the recycling center, every year up to that point, had gone back to the county to request more funding to save recycling in the county, otherwise, the recycling center would go out of business because the “business” was not self-sustaining. And we just had to have recycling or the taxpayers wouldn’t be able to feel good about their recycling efforts. The meeting was eye opening for me. Felt like a massive fraud being perpetrated upon the taxpayer. I’ve told everyone who will listen since then how utterly useless post-customer recycling is.
And by the way, pre-customer recycling is where the largest percentage of all recycling occurs. Pre-customer recycling is when a paper mill has a batch of paper that doesn’t meet quality specifications, so the workers at the paper mill toss the paper back into the beginning of the paper making process. Voila, recycled paper (% recycled paper). And just so you know companies did this for generations in paper, metal, glass, and plastic manufacturing. Why? Because pre-consumer recycling is cost effective. After recycling became all the fad, businesses got kudos and “green points” for doing what any good capitalist who wants to make a profit had already been doing: pre-customer recycling of materials. All the business had to do was hire someone to track what they already did and report that percentage of mistakes as pre-consumer recycling and label all of the company’s products with a percentage recycled materials label for customers’ to trust the company was doing their part in recycling. Manufacturing mistakes tracked and reported as recycling were thus turned into a marketing campaign to lure recycling-minded people to purchase this company’s product over another company’s product which were both likely manufactured using the same pre-consumer best business practices. The company spending more money tracking and more ink labeling their products got rewarded for their excellent marketing of a capitalistic activity which used more ink and cost in reports to government and non-profit organizations, but still rebranded capitalistic activity as “green.”
Washing trash for fake 'recycling' is a ritual required by the climate change acolytes. It requires a 'waste' of clean water and the energy necessary to heat it.
Seems the time-consuming busywork cancels out the so-called 'benefit.'
Previous (depression era) generation could conserve/repurpose/reuse like rock stars. Example: My mom would save the last bit of bar soap, shave the slivers, soak them in water in a sealed mason jar and use it as liquid hand soap in the ‘60’s. Don’t forget bread wrappers, cottage cheese containers, etc. She would be so disgusted at the waste we see today.
I’d love to know brand and source! I actually write the date with magic marker on all my bulbs when they are installed and I’m not getting nearly that. I have some that have lasted 6 months. I am paying way more for them (like 4 times more!) so if you have a better source and cost, I’d certainly be interested!
I've been getting the GE Relax LED soft white dimmable when I finally ran out of my stash of incandescent. They are lasting several years even though they are on way more than the 3 hrs a day life span of 13 yrs listed on the box. I replaced a few way before Covid and just had to purchase a box again a few months ago because 1 went out and used my last one. Still have full box bc no others went out.
The brand and source are irrelevant if you are using screw base replacements because LEDs operate on 3 volts direct current, not 120 volts alternating current. Using screw base LED lights is like hitching your Tesla to draft horses.
For once, you and I are in agreement on one point: LEDs are not cheaper but they do last at least five times longer (and higher-output LEDs have an even better lifespan ratio to high-watt incandescents.) I use LEDs not just in the house, but for photo studio lighting, so my "five times" claim is actually verified.
I’ve actually had the opposite experience, I was expecting mine to last and the vast majority have lasted for a shorter amount of time than our incandescent bulbs did 😕 They have been extremely disappointing in that regard 😕
Habitat for Humanity Restore is a good source if you have one in your community. You may have to buy a cheap used light fixture for five bucks and harvest the bulbs.
I’ll have to respectfully disagree. Thursday I had to replace three LED can lights in a kitchen ceiling that were only four years old. The bulb is part of the fixture. Thankfully I taught myself to hardwire and it didn’t take long. The contractor told me “they last forever.” Right….
AND they cost about ten times as much, but after you read the package you think oh, well, they last way longer! This must be a bargain! And the manufacturers are all going "bwahahahahahahaaaaaa" up their sleeves at the moment the bulb blows out after 10 months and you're realizing you've been had. I thought maybe there was a problem with my ceiling fan which is why the bulbs had died so fast, so I called my electrician and said "the package says these bulbs are supposed to last 8 years," and he said "yeah but they mean dog years," so at least I got a laugh out of it.
I’m against this sort of regulation, but mine do last longer. And I also had to replace them because walking on a wood-framed floor vibrates JUST enough to shake the filaments in the ceiling below and break them.
I recently replaced the bulb in my 1948 vintage refrigerator that still hums along at a steady 34 degrees. That bulb lasted 76 years. Let that sink in.
We're to believe that it's somehow better for the environment to have a new LED bulb shipped from China every year on a container ship that burns bunker fuel.
I had a Whirlpool washer for 25 years that finally died. My repairman told me the only brand he would recommend today is Speed Queen. It almost seems vintage, but I feel like it's going to last a long time.
Then I bought a Whirpool HE washer. Never kept up with the crazy government regulations that came into play. Had no idea that the new washers "sensed." The darn thing never fills with enough water and it takes forever.
Exactly 3 weeks past the one-year warranty, that HE washer broke. Capacitor with a repair bill of $240.
About to replace the clutch on my 30+ year old Whirlpool. Cheaped out on one when I replaced the transmission a couple years ago. But will be happy to keep replacing parts for as long as they can be found!
I had a GE fridge from 2003 until about 6 months ago. About 2 years ago it needed a couple of replacement parts and I repaired it myself, but it has had no other problems and was even on the original compressor. It finally had more problems 6 months ago and I couldn't get the part I needed to fix it so I finally had to replace it. When I got my new fridge, they told me the expected life of a refrigerator now, no matter what the price, is about 5-6 years.
lol It is in the basement and is the “soda fridge.” The grandkids go down there every Wednesday night and forget that the door must be pushed firmly shut unlike the new ones. Recently they left the door ajar and it iced up badly. I was in a panic but after thawing it out again it is humming along. It’s a GE and really is an engineering marvel. Got it for six bucks at a public sale.
Not to mention your refrigerator is still going. We are replacing our high end appliances one by one after only 17 years. The perfectly good microwave’s computer went out so we had to throw the whole thing away.
Makes me crazy when I’m old enough to know how long appliances used to last.
Old refrigerators were retired to the garage back in my day and they still wouldn’t quit.
I hear you! We had a freezer in our garage, an Admiral I think, for 46 years! We finally replaced it with a “garage ready” new GE only because the frame finally began to warp and the door seal leaked. The motor
lol our garage GE chest freezer has been running since 1978 and survived a move. That would make it also 46 years old. It’s ugly because it doubles as a workbench but it still freezes solid. I will shed a few tears when it dies.
In my recent round the world 9 months long trip, I found an incandescent bulb in Morocco and toted it to 6 different countries, finally reluctantly leaving it in an air bnb lamp in Ireland. Not kidding. I want an incandescent revolution.
I kinda thought the same thing about Hersch, cause I got the impression his investigative journalism, for which he is famous, stood above the joker "journalism" of today. He must believe the BS his colleagues are spewing...like using the term "Joe Biden" in the same sentence with "public servant". And if anyone can send me to the list of the "firehose of lies" perpetrated by DJT (the "perp" - word choice an ironic suckup to the narrative promulgators). I need to get them fact-checked by facebook straight away.
The future is to devolve us into the past, progressivism is regressive for the masses. Why do rundown trailers have 'Save America, Trump 2024' flags while the garaged, washed and waxed Audi AWD EV that sits unused at the 3rd green energy home of an "Investor Class" White Liberal Professional on a carved out mountainside in the High Rockies have a Biden-Harris 2024 bumper emblem on it?
MAGA folks buy stuff that works, stuff that holds up, and cars by the pound. We don’t care much about impressing others with shiny new toys, we’d rather brag about how long we can make ANYTHING last. It’s what makes us resilient.
Two conflicting world views. Urban: “The rat race, traffic, concrete, pollution, and crime are killing me. Somebody please help poor poor pitiful me.” Rural: “I’m good. Leave me alone.”
That’s a fact. Subsidies, insurance games, the EPA, the Dept of Ag, and Big Farmer have about killed the spirit of the "leave me alone" family farmer. Tough odds against tough people.
For once, the elite liberal billionaires who live on the VIneyard and the Cape were correct, when they denied permits up there for offshore wind farms.
OHHHHH! You don't like ad hominems??? Perhaps you should stop using them. Do you even know what an ad hominem is? I just thought it would be worthwhile to jerk you around they way you jerk others around.
Communists are the endcap of the left end of the left-right political spectrum and fascists are the endcap of the right end. They are both socialists who embrace coercive financing of government and so, equally destructive of individual liberty.
@Kathleen J they ARE government tracking devices, not LIKE government tracking devices. I call them nanny state cars. We had a rental that gave an alert signal for what it considered “distracted driving.” After much trial and error, turns out it alerted us when the driver turned his head to look at me, regardless of the traffic conditions! Had to be cameras 😑
I bought a Tesla in June. Not because of government mandates but because the 4.10- 5.15 a gallon in fuel costs we’re killing me while driving 1500 miles a month in rigs luck to get 8-15mpg. I still own all of my old school not trackable, reliable vehicles with 250k plus miles on each one. If the government wants to track me while I run mom errands, more power to em’. In the mean time I’m really enjoying not contributing as much to my states unaudited general fund. It is illegally collecting gas taxes that the voters have continued to vote against, only to have the state sue them in court to reinstate said gas taxes.
There is a button you can push to disable that auto on /off that is activated, when you stop at a red light for instance. I needed a new battery after only a year, went back to the dealer who replaced it. He said the auto on/off activity is hard on car batteries. Cars are equipped with a button that disables the function. So everytime I start up my Outback I push that button. It’s a square shape button with an ‘A’ on it. My husband’s 2018 Highlander has the same ability to disable that function.
Yep. I bought a 2023 Mazda CX-50. What a piece of shit! Not only do I have to turn off the “I-stop” every time I start the car, I also have to go through a series of steps to turn off the “Brake Assist”, a stupid and deadly feature that causes the car to completely shut off if one does a “hard brake”. How that is considered a “safety feature” is beyond me!
The reason that vehicle does that is that’s the only way that the vehicle could pass the EPA testing as it simulates an urban road test with all of the stops. Since the engine uses no fuel and emits no emissions unless it is running, averaging the results yields a passing level of emissions and fuel economy over the course of the test. If the engine is running the whole time even during stops, it wouldn’t pass and couldn’t be sold in the U.S. Thank the EPA for all of that. They’ve been in the driver’s seat of the automotive industry for many years and unless it’s pruned back or eliminated, it’ll only get worse.
If you freeze your large water bottle, you can take it through security. Just drink any water that melts just before going through security. You will be taking a solid not a liquid through security, which is okay, and you will be able to drink cold water on your trip.
Check YouTube ... the auto start/stop is powered by a second compartment in your car's battery. On many vehicles, the wire to that b attery compartment can be disconnected, and the car will run normally (maybe blinking a warning light, but so what.) I did this easily on a 2020 Cherokee.
Oh, and by the way .... because of that feature AND the "back up protection auto braking" AND the seat belt unbuckled nazi warnings AND (most of all) because of the friggin' NINE-speed transmission that never sees a gear it likes, I'm selling my Cherokee and buying a pre-2010 small SUV. The first decade of this century, cars had pretty reliable and efficient engines, but had not yet been crapped up with EPA-mandated "safety" and "efficiency" shyt.
Now you are well and totally effed. They have your handle and will shut your car off for good in the middle of I-84, going 80 MPH. Oh, wait. That is me. Gol durn it.
Actually, I think that 'they' have already auto-cided people. I know of one suspicious incident were a car ploughed into the cement of an overpass structure and the driver was killed. It's kind of suspicious because the person killed was 'politically inconvenient' to some people. I always wondered about it. But nothing can or will ever be proved one way or another. I always wondered about it because we know that vehicles can be taken over and remotely controlled.
Yikes. I do not doubt anything these days. My dad was always the original skeptic and we were like “WTH is wrong with him?!!” Now we are saying “Dad was right!!”
Last year I bought my first subaru (2023 crosstrek). I wanted as few bells/whistles and "safety" features as possible. I had to order a base model, as every car the lot was blinged-out.
Got the car 2 months later. Love how it handles, and at least I can turn off the STUPID on/off functionality.
BUT ... thanks to all of these technological "improvements," subaru evidently made up the cost dif in the stereo/speakers. This car came with the SHITTIEST audio system I've ever heard. And the vehicle was brand new.
Seriously, when a 62-year old broad who just likes her old disco tunes complains about stereo sound, well ... It's BAD.
I ended up spending $2k on an aftermarket stereo, amp, and speakers. Geèzzzzzzz!
Don't you have an override button, as far as I know most cars have that feature, although you have to use it every time you restart the car, which is a pain in the ass.
We discovered after 5 years that there is a button to disable the auto start/stop of our F150. But you have to press it every time you start the truck.
Yes!!! I bought a lightly used, low mileage Subaru Forester Touring Model in 2020. When I drove it home, at the first light it stopped…I too thought WTF! Had to go home and look it up on YouTube! Also, don’t like the eyesight recognition feature as well! I have to turn them both off every time I turn on the car.
It is a feature that is on the screen on the dashboard in front of the steering wheel. There is a camera that tracks your eye’s movements (where you are looking) and notifies you with a warning on that screen, to keep your eyes on the road. It is totally annoying. That’s why I turn it off. It only pertains to your eye movements. If you turn your head to look at something it doesn’t go off!
I’ve got an old 2003 Lexus. It doesn’t look so great anymore but it still drives like a champ. Very grateful I don’t have to deal with the nanny-state technology. Just leave us and our vehicles alone!
Looking into my Magik 8-Ball, I see an iceman with yuuge tongs bringing great honking blocks of ice from a government-approved ice house .... He may even come via horse-drawn wagon.
At our last heat pump service we found out the bad news about that. When it goes or the furnace goes we’ll have to replace both for 10’s of thousands. Oh, yea, regulations and technology are just grand aren’t they?
I bought my house two summers ago only to learn that I have no heat pump. I have to use heat strips for heat. Who has thousands to replace the AC system? Good thing the heat strips (emergency heat) work fine. But I want our AC unit to run as long as possible and it’s already 18 years old! Gah!😩
The problem with geothermal is capturing the energy without creating a steam explosion. The best way is to bury ducts in the ground and blow air through them.
If you have to buy LED, look for 2700 kelvin- they are oftentimes only online and out of stock in Home Depot. Gives off a much better color. But still, I want the original back. My simple understanding is that they only have to make the filament thicker and you can get many more hours out of incandescent.
That is his story too and he is sticking to it. “But the incandescent is way less invasive on my brain!” argument doesn’t hold a candle to the “Do you have any idea how many pennies we are saving with LED’s?!” comeback.
You beat me to it,but I did find more on the market than right after the push of the frequency disrupters. Be gone with smart anything and that includes the too brights on vehicles and everywhere.
I've come to like LEDs. The cost has cone down and not having to constantly change bulbs is a plus. The real reason to want incadescents back as a choice is that the government has no business banning them, just as it has no business ductating how many times we can flush our toilets.
That they do such is all the more egregious in that most such regulations are based on the many lies of climate change.
In its summer meeting in China, the WEF, among other idiocies, claimed people must wash theur clothes less often ... to save the planrt. All such moves must be resisted on principle, regardless of the possible merits of the intended begavior change.
"The real reason to want incadescents back as a choice is that the government has no business banning them, just as it has no business ductating how many times we can flush our toilets."
CHOICE. LEDs are OK for the basement and garage but not elsewhere in the house.
Personally, I'd like to have a washing machine that actually cleans clothes instead of splashing them in a puddle of dirty water. And appliances that last. Hopefully we can start building some of these things in the US again with fewer regulations that drive up costs (while simultaneously driving down quality).
If you can find $1400, you can still buy Speed Queen commercial washers. The friggin things are true old-school commercial quality, and they WORK. Even in our smallish town, one appliance store sells them (and it ain't Home Depot or Lowes).
I love my speed queen. I can fill that tub with as much water as I want. I do hate the lock on the top but I figured out that hitting the cancel button once opens it so I can add clothing.
Those are the ones we will get once the crappy LG ones we got about 5 years ago give up the ghost. Hubby had looked into the speed queen ones too, and loves that they can be repaired and parts replaced by the homeowner if they’ve got the technical knowledge. 👍🏻
I was just going to say that…Speed Queen! We’ve had ours for four years now. They are the best! We made sure to get the mid level old school with knobs and push buttons. Zero Digital Touch screens as they’re most likely to fail.
The left seems to have forgotten that they have a purpose beyond light; used for decades to keep young animals and pipes from freezing. Bring ‘em back!
the SOB feds in their All Knowing All Powerfulness only banned "illumination" incandescent bulbs. you can still buy them for heat lamps and some low watt appliance bulbs.
I was able to buy “rough duty” garage incandescent lights that I use in trouble lights to help keep my RV bays warm in the winter when we (occasionally) venture up north.
Hahaha! Those low-flush toilets are so stupid. How is having to flush multiple times to get the job done conserving anything?
Hate the low flow shower heads too. It’s a pain trying to rinse products out of my hair. In some models hubs figured out how to take some little restrictor out to let more water run through.
It’s still frustrating to have to undo things that like.
Death by a thousand paper cuts in day to day life. Very much done with malicious intent, IMHO.
Yes! We’ve removed impediments to shower & faucets as well.
It’s Idiocracy: have ANYTHING “use” less water (faucets, toilets, washing machines, dishwashers, etc) but have to flush or run the others 4 times as long that ultimately uses MUCH more water. Just like the energy expended not only to run an EV, but MAKE the damn things.
Nana, In addition to common sense being uncommon these days, so very much in such very short supply (& esp for those in positions of power whose actions affect entire nations): rationality, decency, honor, intelligence, humility, humbleness, courage & an all around obligation to do the right thing. I’m old enough to remember when such things were societal expectations…. Now it’s raaaacist, “privileged” or otherwise “discriminatory” to believe these should be the norm…for EVERYBODY
You need a Toto toilet! One flush is all that’s needed, and there’s barely any water sitting in the bowl. They call it the tornado flushing system. I was skeptical at first, but the Toto takes care of it.
I was at a local Lowe's last week, looking for light bulbs, when I espied packages of old style ones on the floor underneath all the new kinds. Bought them all! Evidently some stores can sell what they have until the stock's gone, woohooo! And 6 of the old candelabra ones cost $10 whereas 6 of the LEDs were $22.
The problem is - Biden can’t tell the truth - he always and forever makes stuff up on the fly - like his law school standing, his uncle being eating by cannibals, that he’s a 6 handicap and that he attended Delaware State.
It’s understandable if you dislike Trump, but this “Joe Biden is a good and decent man” line is bullsh@t.
He is an actual racist who sees himself as superior to other due to the color of their skin. He is the wirst kind of racist because rather than try to stay away from darker skinned folks, he socks up to them for their votes and panders and patronizes in a disgusting sort of way.
An entire career based on lies and misinformation; The VISUAL Live broadcasting of Truth is what's bothering the Commie Media and Dems---they preferred their Lies for their own minds and for the idiot masses that they influence; and yes, they want a different Lie NOW. The "Radical Right" has never lied about this guy--exaggeration at times but that's normal--he did his best for The Progressive Revolution in that format and couldn't defend or mask the BIG LIE well enough to the taste of those who placed him there. The country is wrecked because of them all NOT better--they are Enthralled with the Results of Joe B. but just want an invigorated spokesman to perpetuate THIS LIE for them.
The fatal flaw for TPTB is the satanic delusion that they can defile everything. The internet amplifies their lies, but it amplifies the truth as well. At the end of the day, truth is far more powerful.
FJB has never been a good man. His part in Justice Thomas's hearing back in the day was despicable. He was the chairman on the committee. His arrogance and his ignorance were on display.
He was not elected, so there's that really big fat lie. He has a very diabolical backing, and they all need to go.
I do not get what all this hand wringing worry about what world leaders will do. They've known since day One!! Joe removed the Houthi terrorist designation and gave Iran piles of money. He gave money to Hamas AND Israel. He started Ukraine issues in 2014, and ramped them up, denying Ukraine the option to negotiate a peace. He sanctioned Russua and effectively startedvthe final downturn/demise of the USD. In just these actions alone, he has given the world free reign. North Korea is now allowed to leave its reservation and is sending military to aid Russia. What does the world leaders think? Is it possible they would welcome Trump back to the world stage? I think it's possible.
Have you seen the photo of young Jill, the babysitter, sitting on his knee in his backyard? Creepy. My guess is he was grooming her while she watched his kids and his first wife, who drank, saw what was going on.
I have noticed in my life that liars hate being called a liar, but freely dish it out to anyone or anything they disagree with. During the debate if he said anything that could have had substance-it was a lie. And I don’t care how he golfs, I prefer the dick measure criteria or even “my dad is bigger than your dad” argument. 😏
Name-calling and lame insults thrill our desperate-housewife culture. What would it take to stir up interest in a substantive compare/contrast on real issues?
And he was caught looking down at his watch during the ceremony at Dover when the bodies of some of those soldiers arrived. His lie during the debate that his administration has taken better care of the military than Trump's, was maddening. He has severely damaged our military with vaccine mandates and transgender nonsense. The day after the debate, he was in my state, NC, bragging that he, unlike Trump, tells the truth. Of course, that was another lie.
I do not believe that he cares one iota for other people. I sense nothing but hate and self love. They say Trump is all about himself, but again they project.. The more I see Trump with people
the more I sense how genuine he is about liking people, how much he loves this country, and how much of a leader he is. Damned unethical Demoncrats!
It's really amazing that the MSM constantly says Trump lies when they have a guy like Biden as their preferred candidate, a guy like Obama as their god, and a woman like Shrillary as their goddess.
Biden has been a professional liar for like 50 years now. It's not something that just started. The whole Nelson Mandela thing, for example. Or some of the academic accomplishments or jobs he claimed to have had. Or the weird cornpop and leg hair story. Major lies. Complicated and verifiable lies. He's one of those compulsive liars, who lies even when he has to know he's going to be caught.
Meanwhile Trump's "lies" are either truthful statements the media doesn't like (around the economy, for ex.) or exaggerations like the crowd size at a rally or the bigliness of something he's proud of. They're not really even comparable to Democrats and the MSM's wholesale lying machine. Inflation, jobs, climate, covid, vaxxes, Ukraine, trans...it's just constant, complex, provable lies from the Ds and their lapdogs in media.
But ironically people I know think that Biden’s “pedo hair sniffing, showering with his daughter, marrying Jill, the children’s babysitter” is “nothing” compared to Trump’s “past criminal behavior and his treatment of women”! Go figure…the power of rational and or reasonable thought is completely gone now.
Plus Jill was the wife of his best friend when he started having an affair with her, yet 'the thought of' him daring to say that Trump has the morals of an alley cat on the debate stage was disgusting.
Lest you all forget, he is also a rapist and the poor woman lives in Russia now, out of fear. And speaking of '"morals of an alley cat", besides his own perverse life, has he looked at his son Hunter's photos recently?😬
I totally agree… these people I speak of (democrats in general) have been ‘programmed’ to believe that the ‘crimes and misbehaviors with women’ of Donald Trump, far outweigh Biden’s ‘pedo ways and criminal activity’, that he has engaged in for most of his entire political career.
(For the record…I am neither a supporter of DJT nor of Let’s Go Brandon. I just call it as I sees it! )
You are objective. That is a virtue which has been largely lost these days. That is one of the reasons I respect RFKJR. I can't tell you how many times he said 'Trump is right' as he answered the debate questions, but went on to offer his own ideas.
Biden tells lie after lie and is never called to question by the lapdog MSM. Their main attack in the debate was that 'Trump is a liar'. No evidence required, saying it is enough, and part of the plan. Follows Alinsky to the nth degree.
From Saul Alinsky, "Rules for Radicals": "Accuse your opponent of what you are doing, to create confusion and to inculcate voters against evidence of your own guilt".
Wasn't he dating Jill while his wife was still alive (and married to him)? And he had the gall to say Trump had the "morals of an alley cat" (I think those are the words he used.) I was SO disappointed Trump didn't pick up on that and ask him if he's showered with Ashley lately?
An obvious comeback for a gutter fight. Which Trump didn’t want. I really believe President Trump behaved as best he could, under the insane circumstances, as someone with the awareness that all the world was watching.
He said at one point, that ‘this is not a real debate’. And we all know that is the truth.
When will the spineless republicants call for the 25th? Hello? You’ve got a zombie on the button of the world? You gonna let that slide for four more months?
The spineless republicans are just that…spineless, clueless, and pathetic. They could learn a lot from watching the democrats. The democrats didn’t hesitate to impeach Trump for nonsense…and yet Biden is an unmitigated disaster for Americans and the world, and the GOP does nothing. Get busy doing the work of the American people or resign. Period.
I believe the majority of Dems are wanting to encourage him to leave office at this point, based on listening to CNN's post Debate. CNN had to have received the go-ahead to start the downward spiral otherwise they would've kept up their notion that Biden is the better candidate. New marching orders for the media and the majority of Dems, even in government roles.
I've detested the POS since the Anita Hill hearings, not just because of the hearings but all the stuff he did back then. The guy ruined his first presidential run being busted for plagiarism. It's obvious Joe always had friends in high places. He is a pathological liar who wrecked his children's lives. He's a perv and a sexual abuser, to boot. His family has gotten millions from their investments in the Iraq and Ukraine war, which he helped broker. That was also on video - and still people ignore it. I don't know what it would take for the average person to understand just how awful a human being Joe Biden is.
Hard to call him a liar as he has no idea what he’s saying! Makes one feel like we are in deep shit! Truly Remarkable Under Malicious Persecution 2024!
Maybe Biden's uncle was David Rockefeller and was eaten by cannibals. This goes with the conspiracy theory that it's just 13 families that run the world.
And those who are backing Biden are the other puppets - interesting how many of them are IL (or former IL) politicians. Another reason I left that crooked state!
Thank you for mentioning the unexpected passing of Congressman Thomas Massie’s wife, Rhonda. I was shocked when I heard about it yesterday. I had just watched the two hour interview with Tucker Carlson a few days prior. I knew little of Massie before the interview but came away so impressed with this man. An inventor with a successful company, who put family first to move back to rural Kentucky he and his wife’s birthplace. He is so unique and courageous in an “aw-shucks” way. His impressions of Mitch McConnell and President Trump were hysterical. We so need men like him in Congress. I am so sorry for he and his family. His wife and kids were first on his list.
His interview is probably my favorite Tucker interview so far. Massie instantly became my favorite congressman. There’s another video about his life off the grid which is amazing.
Mine too! It was an excellent interview and the YouTube video of his homestead is quite inspiring. It’s so tragic and suspicious that his beloved wife, Rhonda, has died so young. God keep Rep. Thomas Massie safe! 🙏🏻
Both big talkers, but no action. Johnson has been holding the receipts on the 💉bioweapon for over 2 years and has never acted. Unacceptable. JJ never gets anything through. In fact he doesn’t even try.
Ron Johnson is the only politician I have donated for to date. Unfortunately I put down my cell phone number on the required form - mistake! I get many, many texts from every R imaginable, and they have thousands if not millions of numbers to use, so blocking any particular number does little good. Put down a home phone number or nothing if you can.
I don’t quite buy that either. I think most of DC thought Hillary would win. Then the GOP planned to push Garland through before Congress ended. He was after all, billed by all as a Moderate in the court system. Win, win…
I watched this a couple weeks ago. Was very impressed with him. He was also on the Western A. Price Foundation podcast discussing raw milk. So sad to hear this.
IDK; it was in an article. Back in the day, kids were often moved up a grade or two based on their knowledge. Don’t see that so much anymore. Rhonda was clearly very bright.
I felt heartsick when I read that Massie’s wife had died. I watched the video of his life off grid and found him to be a very down to earth man with an amazing intellect.
Rhonda was vacationing in WA state (Mt. Ranier) just before her death. Lest you need a reminder, that's where the global cabal leader lives. First US Covid case and death. Our top conservative lawmaker lost his wife suddenly about six months ago in a solo car wreck. My radar is pinging.
EDIT: I removed the paywall on the post titled “Walk Toward the Light.” — This is behind a paywall on my stack, but thought it would bring you comfort:
Walk Toward the Light
I walk toward the light
In the shadowed moments of the unknown
When I lack understanding and direction
On dark days when hardly a sliver of brightness shines through
When I struggle to find the will to persevere
When the path is not visible and my steps are uncertain
Yes...the only reason darkness is...is the ABSENSE of light.
1 John 1:5 God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.
Colossians 3:1-3 If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things of the earth. for you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
Now that keeps things in perspective while we are living here!
Now it happened after Yahweh had spoken these words to Job, that Yahweh said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My anger burns against you and against your two friends because you have not spoken of Me what is right as My servant Job has. So now, take for yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, and go to My servant Job, and offer up a burnt offering for yourselves, and My servant Job will pray for you. For I will accept him so that I may not do with you according to your folly, because you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has.”
— Job 42:7-8 LSB

It's all been a conspiracy for four friggin' years. Where are the watchdog groups? Why wasn't the 25th amendment invoked? Where are the whistle blowers?
When's the DOJ going to release those Biden audio tapes?
They won't because it will reveal to all exactly what's going on:
That the Cadever-in-Chief gets treats, for good behavior, from Nurse Ratchet (Dr. Jill) like a dotting mother clapping for her toddler just for leaving his diaper dry.
Perhaps part of the conspiracy is now they can install a candidate who didn't get a single primary vote.
Their BIG LIE President let them down; their Lies and misinformation weren't well defended by stammering dry-coughing Joe, so THEY want to KILL the Messenger now; a slicker silver tongued Devil must come forth to intensify the Progressive Revolution while strongly convincing us all how very great the entire thing is. This is a Cult and it needs a new spokesperson as the tired old model needs to be kicked to the curb only to be placed into the venerable Pantheon after his mortal passing.
Yes, to lose their Biggest Lie about the "big lie" is a loss so threatening that they must continue to lie or the biggest lie of all will be revealed; that you are so alone you can't speak truth.
True democracies (direct voting by everyone) haven't been practical for anything larger than small cities until the advent of the internet, and probably will never be implemented. Can you imagine EVERYONE in the US voting on an omnibus spending bill?? And how would the top general and admiral be voted on? The problems would be immense.
As far as I can tell, though, something like a constitution and bill of rights could just as easily be part of a democracy as part of a republic.
I cried when I read that Thomas Massie’s wife died. He’s been a fighter for us against the deep state. And I hate to see him get hit like this. But then I laughed at the comparison of this pivotal time in history being like a man who climbed the ladder in his flip flops to clean out the gutters (against his wife’s advice). I am laughing and crying alternately with all that is going on. More rejoicing though, I have to say. Glimmers of light in this dark time.
I loved that line from Jeff, but I think the debate will not be and never was the defining moment. We all have known about Brandon’s dementia for 3 and a half years. The Conservative legacy media harped on how he would be replaced within a month or two of taking office. Then they went silent in the onslaught of the vaxx and a shot in every arm.
No, the turning point was Covid and the shuttering a Nation. Everything is now BC, (before covid), and AD, (after death, of a nation).
We would be remiss if we forgot the 2020 riots. Absolutely related to covid, however it was a display of the lengths those power-crazed people will do to get their way. I suspect those same paid actors will be in the streets for months, maybe years, if DJT is elected and the election stands.
If the House swings Democrat, they won't allow an elected DJT to take office.
I agree. Other 'causes' like BLM took advantage of the unstable situation. Now we have to pay attention to Trans rights as a national thing? It was inevitable that he hottest issue in the last 100 years - the Middle East - would also flare up. ("Hey, what about us?"). All the non-COVID issues were distractions that the WH, DoD and Pharma interests supported.
No cause is about the cause. The cause is about the Revolution. ALWAYS. h/t James Lindsay (and others)
I was just listening to a podcast during which it is asserted that J*hn Br-nnan is not only a formerly registered Communist, he is also a practitioner of Islam. I keep reading/hearing about the connections between the leftist NAZI movement, Islam/Jihadism, and communism. IDK, just sayin'.
Oh, and that J0hn Br3nnan is the puppetmaster. IDK. Just reporting what I heard from a notable individual. (If it's on the internet it must be true, right?)
Thanks for replying. Sounds like this rumored Revolution is a tear-down, build back up operation somehow. But don't the recent SCOTUS decisions reflect well on our form of government? I was just given a great boost of hope this week as the ship may be righting itself. Slowly. It's a big ship.
Three weeks after Tom Massie pulled back the cover on how Washington really works, on Tucker's show seen by millions of people, his beautiful wife suddenly dies. Yet people are afraid to bring it up even on this Substack. Some of that is out of respect for the family which I understand, but most of it is out of fear. We are in much worse shape than we thought.
You are exactly right. My first thought was ‘How was she killed?’ but thought some might find it disrespectful. I mean no disrespect. But there was ‘possibly’ a very clear message sent by her untimely death. May God rest her soul and bring peace to her family in the name of Jesus.
Hopefully it's primarily out of respect, and this is a good, decent bunch here so I get that.
I have no idea what happened to her, it may have just been one of those things. I do know that she was with Tom at Tucker's interview a few weeks ago. I also know based on Chip Roy's comments that it was sudden. On top of that the fact that the Massie family isn't elaborating likely means they are in complete shock. This almost certainly wasn't some long, debilitating illness.
The problem is that coming right after what Tom disclosed on Tucker's show about who controls the GOP Congress, it raises very real questions. Yet we aren't even allowed to bring it up, people are intentionally self-censoring themselves. I've found that when people demand we not question something, nine times out of ten it's in bad faith. This may be that time when it's a complete coincidence, stranger things have happened. But the fact that people don't feel free to speculate is a real problem.
Edit: Jeff Childers has mentioned before when a cause of death isn't given what it usually means. I'm not going to spell it out here as I don't want to upset people. But we are in demonic times, where nothing is at it seems and the people in power will stop at nothing. They just poisoned a couple billion people with the vax for goodness' sakes. Believe nothing of what you hear in the coming days.
Jeff C, you are right there is a problem if people won't even bring up their suspicions about Thomas Massie's wife's sudden death. We give the bad guys exactly what they want when we shutup. Well, I'll voice my suspicion because I have already said this before here and other places: Thomas Massie was the only congressman who didn't take orders,money or threats from AIPAC. AIPAC/ISRAEL owns our government and our govt answers to them, not to the Constitution nor to the people. If Israel will murder aid workers delivering food to starving, war-torn Gazan women and children, if they will mercilessly mass murder 10's of thousands of these innocent civilians, if they will fuel a mind-control program that has warped millions of Christians into believing modern Israel is the reincarnated Israel of the Bible and done it purely for their own blood-thirsty, selfish, greedy motives, what won't they do?
"The creation of the Zionist State of Israel has brought turmoil, treachery, death and destruction that is almost unequalled in modern history. The Rothschild conspiracy to create its own Zionist state has its tentacles in both world wars and in virtually every significant act of war afterward.” Reverend Dr. Chuck Baldwin, who has made a deep study of Zionist Israel vs Israel of the Bible.
Jeff C - my friend brought to my attention that Massie reposted Jimmy Dore’s tweet from 6/16/24 about all the lies surrounding the shots. Dore reposted a tweet by The Vigilant Fox with the video testimony at the Ohio statehouse from a severely injured pharmacist
Yesterday I speculated that it was the jabs because that’s where my mind immediately goes with the whole sudden and unexpected narrative, but i don’t even know if she took them. That or suicide these days, but that doesn’t seem probable.
I wonder, because Massie talked at length on Tucker about building his homestead, if it might have been something like carbon monoxide poisoning. We knew a couple that died that way after they returned home from a Euro vacay and turned their heat on before bed but the exhaust was blocked and they had no detectors. That would be very tragic indeed.
Thank you bringing it up. I want to respect Massie (my new fave congressman), and don't want to fuel fires like a Qster, but...Rhonda was vacationing in WA state (Mt. Ranier) just before her death. Lest you need a reminder, WA is where a major global cabal leader lives. And the state that had th first US Covid case and death. Our top conservative lawmaker (and I mean fearless, filing bills C&Crs would like) lost his wife to a logging truck collision Last October. Probably just a 'coincidence,' BUT my radar is pinging. https://www.kiro7.com/news/local/jamie-walsh-wife-washington-rep-jim-walsh-dies-car-collision/TGCW7U7GT5AQXCV6OLIQUD7QAM/
Please, don't go there. These things happen to even the best people as Harold kushner reminded us years ago. I have lost many friends to things like strokes aneurysms congestive heart failure falls, there are a whole list of things that can take one out of this world instantly. To start playing politics with the tragedy of Mrs Massey's death is beneath contempt and I urge you not to go there. It's not a good look.
Was instantly wondering same. When I was a kid, back when we rode dinosaurs, we were taught that news stories should answer who, what, when, where, why, and how. The story linked didn't do so, just as most news stories today do not.
This isn't a who what where and why journalism story. The massies do not owe us an answer to any of those questions. We know she died and that's all we need to know. What we need now is to show Christian compassion for their tragic loss and not inject our own personal conspiracy theories into the dialogue.
No. I've been looking for updates but nothing yet. Whatever happened was unexpected because he was in DC when she died and I doubt he would have left her at home if she had been super ill. Plus, they had just returned home from a family vacation to Mt. Ranier.
Yes, Rep. Massie is a courageous good leader. My heart goes out to him. A week before his wife passed they were hiking Mt. Rainier with their grandson. He posted a picture on X of the unusual cloud formations (chemtrails ) in the WA sky while here. I loved him for that.
But yesterday Biden, looking refreshed, suddenly tanned, skin glowing, open collared, and lively, attended a ceremony with Elton John about the 'hallowed' day of the Stonewall riots in Greenwich Village. Because WW3 and domestic invasions, and the economy and all that are such insignificant issues compared to anything LGBTQ and/or abortion.
Easy for him yesterday; it was early in the day, and he had a teleprompter. Sundowner’s Syndrome happens with ppl and dementia. I bet they will ask for a daytime debate next time-if he makes it that far.
As Midwestern Doctor has pointed out, dementia patients zone out in the afternoon and evening. So Biden can be expected to be a little bit more alert in the mornings. And it explains why we don’t normally see him in the afternoons and evenings.
I'd forgotten about that, it is "sundowning," and starts about 4 and ends at 8 or 9 usually. I've always thought it might have something to do with what gets released in the body at what time of day, like a circadian rhythm. Thyroid is from 11 pm to 1 am for instance.
I think it was a deep fake and not Joe. A different person with a mask on. They are all in on it. Trust me, the real, sleepy, confused Joe was at home in his diaper sleeping soundly.
Maybe it took the drugs longer to kick in than his handlers were expecting. Can you imagine how on edge they are all the time asking themselves "What is he going to say now?" "Will the drugs kick in time?" and on and on.
Anyone who believes the media were in shock is suffering from cognitive dissonance. They KNEW. The read the memo instructing them how to react.
Remember during covid they were ALL SAYING THE SAME THING?
Well…..after the debate, they were ALL SAYING THE SANE THING. They were in LOCKSTEP. Only a fool would believe they did not know Biden was unfit before the debate.
The media is a mouthpiece for the intel community. The intel community is fully under the thrall of occultists.
I need to revisit the debate for some analysis. The stairs up to the platform. Only two "pillars" in the debate, with RFK excluded. Jachin and Boaz, symbolizing duality. I'm sure there's more.
This is all part of the next phase of their psyop, and psyop is witchcraft at its core. It's meant to influence behavior in the unwitting. It's meant to cause the "right" to revile Biden, and the "left" to be demoralized.
I will not give in to the temptation to sin just because of a media puppet show.
Neither will I put my faith in men.
Greater is He who is in me than he who is in the world.
IMO, the job is too much for him and he has cognitive decline which has its not so bad days and simply bad days...but I think that what contributed to his shocking performance and demeanor was a combination of lack of sleep (he has sleep apnea and wears a device), the homework overload they crammed into him and the effect on his frail body and brain, a combination of drugs for his back (remember, they wanted/requested to do it seated) and his foot problems (look up the details of his physical exam), and performance enhancing/focusing drugs like Aderall, some antihistamine for throat clearing, and God only knows what other medication. Anyone would be loopy! How much more, an elderly and already impaired man!
I also think that they may have been feeding him answers into the earpiece he fiddled with, and he couldn't keep up with that and hearing Trump's responses.
This is the reason they won't do a drug test!
So, we have them to thank for the HUGE mess we witnessed there and at the after party with his Nurse Ratchet praising him like he was a toddler and him looking like one back at her!
Let's hope that they don't figure it out better in September.
He has obviously worn one previously. Watch him being asked a question then stare off as if listening intently. The stare is also part of the dementia but it seems to happen at events when he's questioned.
Or perhaps he wasn’t wearing one and was searching/fiddling around for it to get his instructions. Maybe he was trying to recall instructions on what to do if his usual ear bug went dead 🤔
At the beginning of the debate, Bidums eyes were moving along as if he were reading a script. Very weird. Were the two even in the same room at the same time?
The sundowning comment in AMD was also a good point. They kicked out all the reporters and wouldn't let them back in. A friend, who is a nurse, brought up the point that maybe the "debate" was actually filmed in the afternoon. Definitely something to consider.
Melanie and watched Thomas Massie’s interview with Tucker Carlson and were blown away by his grit, commitment to America and his willingness to do the righteous thing regardless of the political consequences. We are deeply saddened by the news of his wife’s sudden passing. We encourage everyone to watch this interview with a true American.
Wonderful points on the Bible and Oklahoma’s fight to keep the memory of its importance to not only our country, our hemisphere, but also the world. May God bless their efforts to honor history as His Story. For goodness sake, we tell time by the birth of his son! All over the world today is 2,024 years from the most glorious nativity of humanity. Time testifies Christ is King. And while every American will have to make personal decision, basic facts of history shouldn’t be ignored because of a handful of people in our country hate God so much that they try to remove a key canon that testifies to him and unlocks many riddles of our culture, including how we tell time.
Yes, I wanted to make the same point. I am so pleased with the way Jeff explained this decision and the governor’s reasons for it. I think it makes sense to anybody, even those who are not Christians. I think the problem is that people are very fearful of the Bible who do not believe in it. Can a person not read the Bible and not become either a Jew or Christian? Are they afraid that people will convert if they are allowed to read it?
1. Name the days of the week after pagan false gods.
2. Start a new day in the middle of the night... instead of "the evening and the morning, the first day") I'll never understand that one.
3. Name some months after long gone Roman emperors (julius, augustus). Others after false gods (janus, mars, juno). Others are even more confusing using numbers that don't align with the month numbers. An octoberpus has 10 arms right? Wait. Your telling me that a decade isn't 12 years?
4. Celebrate birthdays: Don't get me started. It is an unpleasant realization.
5. Ignore the holy days in our Bible for preference of... well anything else really.
6. Redefine words so that the earliest English texts make no sense. (I'm looking at you, unicorn)
...
The list goes on and on and on... I must say that I am not looking forward to people that don't love the Bible and have even less understanding of it teaching our children about it.
Speaking of IQ’s, I saw a CNN poll taken right after the debate in which apparently 33% thought Biden won. It appears that at least 33% of Americans might also be in the IQ under 75 category. Unfortunately, it appears that efforts to make people less intelligent over that last few decades has succeeded!
Good morning! Question, now that Chevron is toast, can I please have my incandescent lightbulbs back?
I got some to sell.
Meet me at the corner of "Walk" and "Don't Walk" at midnight.
Come alone.
Cash only.
😂😂 We hoarded some too. My supply was dwindling so I recently HAD to buy some of the fabulous, guaranteed to last 10-15 years LED’s. That guarantee is as much a lie as everything else the libs push. They don’t last any longer than incandescent bulbs.
And the lovely energy from LEDs messes with our biorhythms. 😑
Another buried nugget of truth...

Yes.

How so?
Here we go again with the childish, silly open ended questions. Instead of asking "how so" how about you go do your very own research and present your very own findings?
Maybe because everything we try to look up on the internet is censored. If you have a link to share, we’d love to read it because we may not find the same link ourselves. Conversations between (presumably) real people are crucial in the face of censorship.
But still, would you or someone else mind linking to something? It sounds intuitively correct but I'd like some ammunition for family doubters. Thank you.
Or.. the person making the assertion could provide a response, in their own words, to support their own assertion. Seems reasonable to me.
I don't see any citations in your posts, either.
Bret Weinstein discussed this a while ago. The podcast that I find is behind a regwall, but if you have a youtube account you might find it helpful. It's at https://youtu.be/Fc0SEdPresU , or start at the reddit link where it is briefly discussed https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/uxor8a/bret_weinsteins_latest_darkhorse_podcast_delves/
Thank you so much!
What is "this?"
No kidding. I had a nurse tell me that some autistic folks and others with epilepsy have problems with the LEDs,
It's the Lumens. The numbers are way too high. I try hard to find a number under 3000 lumens on any bulb. Read this: https://www.nightwise.org/single-post/2017/11/15/how-a-nobel-laureate-changes-a-light-bulb
More than anything else, LED lighting's problems are rooted in their 60-cycle/second flicker and the overabundance of blue frequency radiation in their light output. Here's a solution to the blue light problem, a solution that works well for me as I spend hours per day video editing on a PC: https://www.theraspecs.com/
I was thinking the same thing. It's like how old computers had the refresh rate that you'd notice if you looked at the screen from an angle. That similar rapid flickering effect is something I notice with LEDs, especially when they're on a dimmer switch.
Most screw base LEDs use switcher power supplies running at frequencies above human hearing and the eye's perception. White LEDs are blue LEDs with a phosphor coat that absorbs the blue light and emits white light. You can get white LEDs with different spectra, generally called soft or bright.
It's why I sit in the dark at night while watching tv from 50 feet!
If you buy the kind that can be dimmed with pulse width modulation, you can have any intensity from off to full you want.
I always buy the lower lumens because the light is softer.
That is because they operate from pulsing instead of continuous direct current.
Thanks...that is an easy to understand explanation.
This is caused by the fact that white LEDs do not exist. They are blue LEDs with a phosphor that absorbs the bright blue light and emits white light, sometimes with a lot of blue light leakage. Since human eyes are most sensitive to blue light, and it factors into consciousness and wakefulness, as do autism and epilepsy, it needs to be considered in the management and treatment of those conditions.
Nope they don't last any longer and yes, I threw mine straight into the trashcan. If they don't want them there, they need to start sending a truck through my neighborhood weekly to collect them.
I am similarly rebelling by reducing my recycling efforts. If a can or bottle needs extensive washing, it goes into the trashcan instead. Take that, globalists! Actually, I wonder if everything I put into the recycling bin at the convenience center goes into the trash instead. We did have that problem years ago.
My niece was busy at the recycling center when the big truck pulled up and every bin got emptied into the back.She asked the guy "What's up?" and he replied, "It all goes to a landfill. But folks want to think they're helping the environment, so we do it." She had been washing, stripping, and sorting cans and bottles for years. No longer :(
I was a member of one of the Kiwanis Clubs in Manatee county (FL) from 2016-2020. During that time, the head of the county recycling center came to give a presentation. Turned out that for years Manatee county sent the majority of the collected recycled material from the recycle center to the landfill. The recycle center only made money off of the plastics 1 & 2 which were clean of all food debris and for bottles didn’t still have that little ring around the top from the lid which was a different level of plastic. All plastics 1 & 2 which were bagged or not perfectly clean, along with all metal, paper, cardboard, glass, and all other levels of plastic clean or not were sent to the landfill. Why? Because there was no profit in selling those other recycled materials. Why did the recycle center spend money on trucks, workers, and facilities to pick up trash that could never be recycled only to then truck that material to the landfill? The recycle center was mandated by law to pick up the useless trash that was listed in the law as “recyclable.” Why not tell the taxpayers so they would stop supplying the trash in their recycle bins for pick up? Because that would reduce tonnage of “recycling” and might make people “hesitant to recycle.” The topper to the meeting was when the guy explained that the county set the recycling center’s budget on the tonnage of recycled materials collected. And each year the recycling center, every year up to that point, had gone back to the county to request more funding to save recycling in the county, otherwise, the recycling center would go out of business because the “business” was not self-sustaining. And we just had to have recycling or the taxpayers wouldn’t be able to feel good about their recycling efforts. The meeting was eye opening for me. Felt like a massive fraud being perpetrated upon the taxpayer. I’ve told everyone who will listen since then how utterly useless post-customer recycling is.
And by the way, pre-customer recycling is where the largest percentage of all recycling occurs. Pre-customer recycling is when a paper mill has a batch of paper that doesn’t meet quality specifications, so the workers at the paper mill toss the paper back into the beginning of the paper making process. Voila, recycled paper (% recycled paper). And just so you know companies did this for generations in paper, metal, glass, and plastic manufacturing. Why? Because pre-consumer recycling is cost effective. After recycling became all the fad, businesses got kudos and “green points” for doing what any good capitalist who wants to make a profit had already been doing: pre-customer recycling of materials. All the business had to do was hire someone to track what they already did and report that percentage of mistakes as pre-consumer recycling and label all of the company’s products with a percentage recycled materials label for customers’ to trust the company was doing their part in recycling. Manufacturing mistakes tracked and reported as recycling were thus turned into a marketing campaign to lure recycling-minded people to purchase this company’s product over another company’s product which were both likely manufactured using the same pre-consumer best business practices. The company spending more money tracking and more ink labeling their products got rewarded for their excellent marketing of a capitalistic activity which used more ink and cost in reports to government and non-profit organizations, but still rebranded capitalistic activity as “green.”
If I continue to "recycle" the easy stuff I will save on trash bags, so maybe that is a plus.
I learned about this a long time ago. All those "divided" bins keep the environmentalists happy, but they all get dumped in the same place. Hilarious!
Heard that too Katherine
Washing trash for fake 'recycling' is a ritual required by the climate change acolytes. It requires a 'waste' of clean water and the energy necessary to heat it.
Seems the time-consuming busywork cancels out the so-called 'benefit.'
I stopped recycling my trash. Figured I recycle enough with old clothes I continue to wear.
Previous (depression era) generation could conserve/repurpose/reuse like rock stars. Example: My mom would save the last bit of bar soap, shave the slivers, soak them in water in a sealed mason jar and use it as liquid hand soap in the ‘60’s. Don’t forget bread wrappers, cottage cheese containers, etc. She would be so disgusted at the waste we see today.
lol
🤣
Same here! Tired of being manipulated through guilt.
For the most part, recycling is just “make work” anyway. Very little is economic to recycle.
True. The local recycling center employs otherwise unemployable people to sort the stuff for metals.
Yeah I'm not sure I trust them either.
But on the other hand, mine are such Nazis that they won't take most things that are marked as recyclable.
Ironically, that gives me hope that the metal cans, cardboard, and glass bottles*are* actually being recycled.
😁😇
Same here.
Love your comment.
LED’s cause early onset Macular Degeneration.
😲😡
Not as much as dietary deficiencies do.
Wow! Did not know that!
Yeah, but that’s okay, Freebird. They cost 5 times more than incandescent, so you’re doing your fair share, because we’re all in this together!
Mine cost a fraction of the incandescents and they've lasted for 14 years, so far.
I’d love to know brand and source! I actually write the date with magic marker on all my bulbs when they are installed and I’m not getting nearly that. I have some that have lasted 6 months. I am paying way more for them (like 4 times more!) so if you have a better source and cost, I’d certainly be interested!
I've been getting the GE Relax LED soft white dimmable when I finally ran out of my stash of incandescent. They are lasting several years even though they are on way more than the 3 hrs a day life span of 13 yrs listed on the box. I replaced a few way before Covid and just had to purchase a box again a few months ago because 1 went out and used my last one. Still have full box bc no others went out.
Same here.
The brand and source are irrelevant if you are using screw base replacements because LEDs operate on 3 volts direct current, not 120 volts alternating current. Using screw base LED lights is like hitching your Tesla to draft horses.
For once, you and I are in agreement on one point: LEDs are not cheaper but they do last at least five times longer (and higher-output LEDs have an even better lifespan ratio to high-watt incandescents.) I use LEDs not just in the house, but for photo studio lighting, so my "five times" claim is actually verified.
I’ve actually had the opposite experience, I was expecting mine to last and the vast majority have lasted for a shorter amount of time than our incandescent bulbs did 😕 They have been extremely disappointing in that regard 😕
I have had very mixed results with LED lasting.
LEDs are much cheaper if you buy them without adaptors.
Proper photo studio lights don't screw into incandescent bases.
Habitat for Humanity Restore is a good source if you have one in your community. You may have to buy a cheap used light fixture for five bucks and harvest the bulbs.
Your money would be better spent installing LED panel lights in the ceiling instead of messing with obsolete screw bases.
I’ll have to respectfully disagree. Thursday I had to replace three LED can lights in a kitchen ceiling that were only four years old. The bulb is part of the fixture. Thankfully I taught myself to hardwire and it didn’t take long. The contractor told me “they last forever.” Right….
WTF is a "LED can light?"
LEDs are more durable without adaptors.
And they strobe. They cause headaches.
Truth! Have some on my outdoor lights by the garage- 2 burnt out within 6 months. It’s pathetic!
My experience is that they don't even last as long...complete fraud IMO.
Agree! LED lights do not last as long a la they say. Bring back the light bulbs I grew up with! Closer to 80 than 70!!!
Incandescents are available online - more expensive now than they used to be, though.
AND they cost about ten times as much, but after you read the package you think oh, well, they last way longer! This must be a bargain! And the manufacturers are all going "bwahahahahahahaaaaaa" up their sleeves at the moment the bulb blows out after 10 months and you're realizing you've been had. I thought maybe there was a problem with my ceiling fan which is why the bulbs had died so fast, so I called my electrician and said "the package says these bulbs are supposed to last 8 years," and he said "yeah but they mean dog years," so at least I got a laugh out of it.
I’m against this sort of regulation, but mine do last longer. And I also had to replace them because walking on a wood-framed floor vibrates JUST enough to shake the filaments in the ceiling below and break them.
…but at least now they can be dimmed so we can stop squinting and pull our eyelids up to full mast again!
True.
We have also been hoarding the old bulbs.
LED light is bad for the retina. Notice that it just didn't matter!
I recently replaced the bulb in my 1948 vintage refrigerator that still hums along at a steady 34 degrees. That bulb lasted 76 years. Let that sink in.
There is a meme I saw with 2 refrigerators side by side.
1970 fridge: "I will outlive you and your family."
New fridge: "I will break in 2 years."
I would laugh if I wasn’t crying….
We're to believe that it's somehow better for the environment to have a new LED bulb shipped from China every year on a container ship that burns bunker fuel.
Back then things were built to last. Buy it and forget it. Now they are built to last no more than a few months after their warranty expires
I had a Whirlpool washer for 25 years that finally died. My repairman told me the only brand he would recommend today is Speed Queen. It almost seems vintage, but I feel like it's going to last a long time.
My previous Whirlpool washer lasted 20 years.
Then I bought a Whirpool HE washer. Never kept up with the crazy government regulations that came into play. Had no idea that the new washers "sensed." The darn thing never fills with enough water and it takes forever.
Exactly 3 weeks past the one-year warranty, that HE washer broke. Capacitor with a repair bill of $240.
Next washer will be a Speed Queen.
Top load Speed Queen my next purchase as well. 💯
About to replace the clutch on my 30+ year old Whirlpool. Cheaped out on one when I replaced the transmission a couple years ago. But will be happy to keep replacing parts for as long as they can be found!
Keep fixing the old one. The new ones are terrible.
I had a GE fridge from 2003 until about 6 months ago. About 2 years ago it needed a couple of replacement parts and I repaired it myself, but it has had no other problems and was even on the original compressor. It finally had more problems 6 months ago and I couldn't get the part I needed to fix it so I finally had to replace it. When I got my new fridge, they told me the expected life of a refrigerator now, no matter what the price, is about 5-6 years.
That’s called job security.
And your refrigerator was pre planned obsolescence! Envious!
I know it wasn’t made in China!
Made in the good old US of A. A 76 year old fridge…I may have to find a black market source at some point for Freon.
IDK, if the seals have held up this long, it’s probably got a few more years in it.
lol It is in the basement and is the “soda fridge.” The grandkids go down there every Wednesday night and forget that the door must be pushed firmly shut unlike the new ones. Recently they left the door ajar and it iced up badly. I was in a panic but after thawing it out again it is humming along. It’s a GE and really is an engineering marvel. Got it for six bucks at a public sale.
Not to mention your refrigerator is still going. We are replacing our high end appliances one by one after only 17 years. The perfectly good microwave’s computer went out so we had to throw the whole thing away.
Makes me crazy when I’m old enough to know how long appliances used to last.
Old refrigerators were retired to the garage back in my day and they still wouldn’t quit.
Exactly. When I bought the fridge, the woman said her grandmother "started housekeeping" with it in 1948. Grandma would be proud.
I hear you! We had a freezer in our garage, an Admiral I think, for 46 years! We finally replaced it with a “garage ready” new GE only because the frame finally began to warp and the door seal leaked. The motor
lol our garage GE chest freezer has been running since 1978 and survived a move. That would make it also 46 years old. It’s ugly because it doubles as a workbench but it still freezes solid. I will shed a few tears when it dies.
My 37 yr old son and soon to be wife have an old chest freezer from her grandparents. They are hoping it dies soon… I just smiled when I heard that!
Wow
Spit out some of my precious coffee lol
Sorry!
4 zingers right off the bat! 🤣😆
I love reading the comments on here lol
😂
I still have some too! We can all meet up at midnight. It would be fun to meet some new people! 😉😆
Bring unmarked bills.
You should hold out for Spanish milled dollars, made from silver.
American Silver Eagles are more recognizable to the hoi polloi you might want to spend them with.
What ... no bitcoin?!
Nah...too high tech for me.
Indeed! 😉🕵🏼♀️💵
Lollllll
In my recent round the world 9 months long trip, I found an incandescent bulb in Morocco and toted it to 6 different countries, finally reluctantly leaving it in an air bnb lamp in Ireland. Not kidding. I want an incandescent revolution.
That's a great story...
Ok that's just funny. I bet you're the life of the party [Kathleen] 🤣
No, I am too antisocial for a party.
lol, me too! …and the profit I would make. I bought some 4 packs for a quarter. $0.25.
Black market at its best.
Haha❣️❣️❣️
The "walk" and "don't walk" lights are mostly no longer incandescent.
Can you please point to the fact evidence of of your proclamation? Specifically to the part about "mostly no longer..."
🤣
🤣
What did the communist use before candles?
Electricity.
That's the path these commies in power want to take us
IDK but if Seymour Hersh doesn’t know by now who’s been controlling the sock puppet, he’s a pretty dim bulb!
I kinda thought the same thing about Hersch, cause I got the impression his investigative journalism, for which he is famous, stood above the joker "journalism" of today. He must believe the BS his colleagues are spewing...like using the term "Joe Biden" in the same sentence with "public servant". And if anyone can send me to the list of the "firehose of lies" perpetrated by DJT (the "perp" - word choice an ironic suckup to the narrative promulgators). I need to get them fact-checked by facebook straight away.
😂
I always wondered, it he knew about North Stream, how he is so surprised about the debate….
He probably knows more about the Nord Stream than the North Stream..
He only needs to know who blew up the Nord Stream pipeline to be smarter than the sock puppet.
👍And that’s a low bar to clear.
Seymour Hersh is still a Democrat 😏
Which means he is too ignorant to be a libertarian.
Typical
The future is to devolve us into the past, progressivism is regressive for the masses. Why do rundown trailers have 'Save America, Trump 2024' flags while the garaged, washed and waxed Audi AWD EV that sits unused at the 3rd green energy home of an "Investor Class" White Liberal Professional on a carved out mountainside in the High Rockies have a Biden-Harris 2024 bumper emblem on it?
MAGA folks buy stuff that works, stuff that holds up, and cars by the pound. We don’t care much about impressing others with shiny new toys, we’d rather brag about how long we can make ANYTHING last. It’s what makes us resilient.
Very rural midwestern too!
Excellent comment.
These people don't have a chance against us in The Reaping
Two conflicting world views. Urban: “The rat race, traffic, concrete, pollution, and crime are killing me. Somebody please help poor poor pitiful me.” Rural: “I’m good. Leave me alone.”
Right?? Then the urban people try to go out to rural areas and get them to be more urbanized 🙄
Misery loves company especially when it doesn't know where misery comes from. 😂
I think they assume they “know better” and rural people should just listen to them and do what they say because of that 🙄
And vote blue
Many of the rural are farmers happy to hang off the government teat.
That’s a fact. Subsidies, insurance games, the EPA, the Dept of Ag, and Big Farmer have about killed the spirit of the "leave me alone" family farmer. Tough odds against tough people.
Most farmers are coming to regard USDA as a acronym for United States Destroying Agriculture.
A recent poll showed that 46% of all ev owners would not buy a second one. While 95% of normal people would buy t their car again
I bought my 2003 van 14 years ago and put a Jasper engine in it last fall, at 333,000 miles.
Yes exactly devolution to wind power.
Ugh. Just drove past ugly wind farms yesterday. Hideous!
They are really ugly when they are in the water. Saw them in the water on approach to Amsterdam and Copenhagen.
For once, the elite liberal billionaires who live on the VIneyard and the Cape were correct, when they denied permits up there for offshore wind farms.
The are the original and most fervent NIMBYs.
Yes.
Dutch docs are not supposed to Rx antibiotics for most over 65, even for life threatening infections. Pack accordingly.
The joke is on them. The seniors will live longer, more healthier lives WITHOUT their Rx.
Cipro is not recommended for the over 65's for the possibility of tendon tears.
Your doctor won't tell you.
Sickening
They give me the creeps, especially at night with their red blinking lights. 😱
Small scale wind power with vertical axis wind turbines on and around your house beat solar panels and wind farms.
Source? For real. There’s one near us, and it’s actually attractive, but have never seen it work.
He doesn't know what he's talking about.
Trust me I own a business that covers all the stuff he's talking about. He's ignorant when it comes to this stuff.
No sense in arguing with stupid. They'll drag you down and beat you with their experience.
One what?
Vertical wind generator.
Source? (I'm playing your game....)
I hope you enjoy solitaire.
I do get some enjoyment in shutting you down, so the others don't have to deal with your boorish posts.
If researching is a game for you, your results will be as useful as your ad hominem attacks.
OHHHHH! You don't like ad hominems??? Perhaps you should stop using them. Do you even know what an ad hominem is? I just thought it would be worthwhile to jerk you around they way you jerk others around.
Huge wind turbines are the ultimate devolution to fascist financing.
Good one.
Communists are the endcap of the left end of the left-right political spectrum and fascists are the endcap of the right end. They are both socialists who embrace coercive financing of government and so, equally destructive of individual liberty.
Amen to that!
And please derail the plans to outlaw yet another AC refrigerant, only to sell something less effective & more costly....
How about the auto start/stop on new cars.
You can't even disable it!
Almost as annoying as having to take stuff out of my pocket in airport security.
It's all to control us.
Drove a brand new car home without knowing that fact. The car engine stopped at the light. WTF? Scared me. It’s stupid stupid stupid
It sucks having road rage before I even leave my driveway!....lol...:p]
I looked at new cars when I had to take my 2012 in for routine maintenance,
The new ones are like government tracking devices.
Tesla truck. Ugh-ly Cubist nightmare.
@Kathleen J they ARE government tracking devices, not LIKE government tracking devices. I call them nanny state cars. We had a rental that gave an alert signal for what it considered “distracted driving.” After much trial and error, turns out it alerted us when the driver turned his head to look at me, regardless of the traffic conditions! Had to be cameras 😑
I bought a Tesla in June. Not because of government mandates but because the 4.10- 5.15 a gallon in fuel costs we’re killing me while driving 1500 miles a month in rigs luck to get 8-15mpg. I still own all of my old school not trackable, reliable vehicles with 250k plus miles on each one. If the government wants to track me while I run mom errands, more power to em’. In the mean time I’m really enjoying not contributing as much to my states unaudited general fund. It is illegally collecting gas taxes that the voters have continued to vote against, only to have the state sue them in court to reinstate said gas taxes.
You can remove the “like”. 😢
Driveway Rage. I hear it is all the rage nowadays.
It's really bad in Florida.

🤣😂🤣 Thanks, Ryan! I needed that laugh this morning!
Mrs. "the Knife"
You're most welcome, friend!
There is a button you can push to disable that auto on /off that is activated, when you stop at a red light for instance. I needed a new battery after only a year, went back to the dealer who replaced it. He said the auto on/off activity is hard on car batteries. Cars are equipped with a button that disables the function. So everytime I start up my Outback I push that button. It’s a square shape button with an ‘A’ on it. My husband’s 2018 Highlander has the same ability to disable that function.
Yep. I bought a 2023 Mazda CX-50. What a piece of shit! Not only do I have to turn off the “I-stop” every time I start the car, I also have to go through a series of steps to turn off the “Brake Assist”, a stupid and deadly feature that causes the car to completely shut off if one does a “hard brake”. How that is considered a “safety feature” is beyond me!
Thanks for the warning.
The new car I was looking at was a 2024 Maxda 3 hatchback because I only want to drive a manual transmission.
It depends on the maker. My Mercedes has an off button, but I test drove a Buick that didn’t.
Ditto the 2020 Cherokee. And the 2018 Ford Escape.
Not tge brand new ones
The reason that vehicle does that is that’s the only way that the vehicle could pass the EPA testing as it simulates an urban road test with all of the stops. Since the engine uses no fuel and emits no emissions unless it is running, averaging the results yields a passing level of emissions and fuel economy over the course of the test. If the engine is running the whole time even during stops, it wouldn’t pass and couldn’t be sold in the U.S. Thank the EPA for all of that. They’ve been in the driver’s seat of the automotive industry for many years and unless it’s pruned back or eliminated, it’ll only get worse.
This is a very good point.
Yea me too Janet. Wonder how long the starter will last!
Still ticked about the no large water bottles.
Geez...no one has taken down a plane with water.
Kathleen I promise you will not regret this 4 minute stand up comedy routine about the TSA:

OMG watched this and was crying- sent it to 5 friends immediately- thank you for this!
Thanks...that was funny.
Gonna have to watch his other clips on YouTube.
If you liked that...you'll like all his other stuff
He was very funny. Good stuff. 👍🏻
I love Sebastian!
Great! Thanks
🤣🤣🤣
If you freeze your large water bottle, you can take it through security. Just drink any water that melts just before going through security. You will be taking a solid not a liquid through security, which is okay, and you will be able to drink cold water on your trip.
Considering that it takes more than 1.5 hours to even drive to the airport and park, that is not really practical for some people.
My point is that the rule is stupid and unnecessary.
Oh that's such a good tip
Check YouTube ... the auto start/stop is powered by a second compartment in your car's battery. On many vehicles, the wire to that b attery compartment can be disconnected, and the car will run normally (maybe blinking a warning light, but so what.) I did this easily on a 2020 Cherokee.
Oh, and by the way .... because of that feature AND the "back up protection auto braking" AND the seat belt unbuckled nazi warnings AND (most of all) because of the friggin' NINE-speed transmission that never sees a gear it likes, I'm selling my Cherokee and buying a pre-2010 small SUV. The first decade of this century, cars had pretty reliable and efficient engines, but had not yet been crapped up with EPA-mandated "safety" and "efficiency" shyt.
Remember "Cash for Clunkers?" It was meant to rid the country of reliable transportation and help destroy the middle class.
It is in no way more "green" to ship a new car across the ocean every three years, on a cargo ship burning bunker fuel.
Yup and it took out so many used cars that the inventory became very low and used cars ended up being as or almost as expensive as new cars 😡
Roger! You just changed my life.
Thank you so much....oh the small pleasures in life....
Now you are well and totally effed. They have your handle and will shut your car off for good in the middle of I-84, going 80 MPH. Oh, wait. That is me. Gol durn it.
Actually, I think that 'they' have already auto-cided people. I know of one suspicious incident were a car ploughed into the cement of an overpass structure and the driver was killed. It's kind of suspicious because the person killed was 'politically inconvenient' to some people. I always wondered about it. But nothing can or will ever be proved one way or another. I always wondered about it because we know that vehicles can be taken over and remotely controlled.
Yikes. I do not doubt anything these days. My dad was always the original skeptic and we were like “WTH is wrong with him?!!” Now we are saying “Dad was right!!”
Ha! Ha! Funny how those dads get smarter. Who would have thunk it? See ya later! Gulag 7! 1800!
Like Mitch McConnell’s sister-in-law.
I know there is much speculation that Andrew Breitbart was taken out the same way.
Lolol. You're funny Sadie!
My next show starts at 1800 in Gulag 7. Bring food and a cake with the prerequisite embedded file.

FEMA camp Region 3.
Couldn't resist sharing my story:
Last year I bought my first subaru (2023 crosstrek). I wanted as few bells/whistles and "safety" features as possible. I had to order a base model, as every car the lot was blinged-out.
Got the car 2 months later. Love how it handles, and at least I can turn off the STUPID on/off functionality.
BUT ... thanks to all of these technological "improvements," subaru evidently made up the cost dif in the stereo/speakers. This car came with the SHITTIEST audio system I've ever heard. And the vehicle was brand new.
Seriously, when a 62-year old broad who just likes her old disco tunes complains about stereo sound, well ... It's BAD.
I ended up spending $2k on an aftermarket stereo, amp, and speakers. Geèzzzzzzz!
Thank you for sharing lolol.
I can just see you bee-bopping in your car!
Love disco!
Me too! I’ve got two favorite cd’s for those sweet funky beats. Pure Disco and Pure Funk. Always lifts my mood when I play those tunes.
They are mood lifters...I call them happy music.
Our old Mercedes (2014) needs a new auxiliary battery in the trunk but it powers the start/stop function so I’m hesitant to put a new one in. 😂
Wait till you need a new battery , costs almost twice as much! There goes your gas savings!
,
You still can disable it on jeeps.
Don't you have an override button, as far as I know most cars have that feature, although you have to use it every time you restart the car, which is a pain in the ass.
No. I'm telling in some new brands there isn't one.
I just bought a new car in April...none.
And I've been working on cars my whole life.
So I'm competent..but not a professional like you with all your work experience.
Damn! That sucks. I got out of the car repair biz in 2001 so it's all new to me. Glad I'm still driving my 2008.
We discovered after 5 years that there is a button to disable the auto start/stop of our F150. But you have to press it every time you start the truck.
A friend’s 2022 Jeep has a button to override, but they don’t advertise that.
Yes!!! I bought a lightly used, low mileage Subaru Forester Touring Model in 2020. When I drove it home, at the first light it stopped…I too thought WTF! Had to go home and look it up on YouTube! Also, don’t like the eyesight recognition feature as well! I have to turn them both off every time I turn on the car.
What in the world is eyesight recognition? Is it giving you a vision test?
It is a feature that is on the screen on the dashboard in front of the steering wheel. There is a camera that tracks your eye’s movements (where you are looking) and notifies you with a warning on that screen, to keep your eyes on the road. It is totally annoying. That’s why I turn it off. It only pertains to your eye movements. If you turn your head to look at something it doesn’t go off!
Thanks for explaining. I appreciate it.
I’ve got an old 2003 Lexus. It doesn’t look so great anymore but it still drives like a champ. Very grateful I don’t have to deal with the nanny-state technology. Just leave us and our vehicles alone!
This is the worst! It makes a new car have an old clunker feel.
It can only control you if you buy it.
What if it is gifted to you, or you steal it?
If you stole it, the thief is a moron.
If it was gifted to you, exchange it for something better.
😊
Yes!! This too! It’s all scam, the new refrigerant isn’t any safer- it has a monopoly on who produces it!
Peltier devices don't use refrigerant.
You would need a renegade HVAC guy who had the foresight to stock up on the "outdated" freon.
Did you hear? They are already discontinuing the "new" refrigerant that replaced R22. So "both" will be black-market finds!
Looking into my Magik 8-Ball, I see an iceman with yuuge tongs bringing great honking blocks of ice from a government-approved ice house .... He may even come via horse-drawn wagon.
😂😂😂😂
Oh geez.
My husband just bought a 30lb jug of it because they’re phasing it out. Still has some R22 that he bought years ago for the same reason.
He's gonna make a killing with it...
At our last heat pump service we found out the bad news about that. When it goes or the furnace goes we’ll have to replace both for 10’s of thousands. Oh, yea, regulations and technology are just grand aren’t they?
I bought my house two summers ago only to learn that I have no heat pump. I have to use heat strips for heat. Who has thousands to replace the AC system? Good thing the heat strips (emergency heat) work fine. But I want our AC unit to run as long as possible and it’s already 18 years old! Gah!😩
We are considering geothermal which would do us wonders here in the northeast where winters are cold and summers are hot
And more flammable, I’ve been told…
Peltier devices beat mechanical refrigeration.
Also consider geothermal: If you live in a temperate climate AND on dirt (not rocks or sand), it is an effective and reliable alternative.
The problem with geothermal is capturing the energy without creating a steam explosion. The best way is to bury ducts in the ground and blow air through them.
I bought a supply on ebay before the deadline. Then I picked up a whole box at a garage sale last month - I'm stocked!
And your address is....???
lol
🤣
Nice!
Yeah!
Great, wonderful point! My hoard of Reveal lightbulbs is dwindling & LED lights give the appearance of grocery store interiors or 3rd world mercados.
If you have to buy LED, look for 2700 kelvin- they are oftentimes only online and out of stock in Home Depot. Gives off a much better color. But still, I want the original back. My simple understanding is that they only have to make the filament thicker and you can get many more hours out of incandescent.
My husband is a marine electrician. He swears by LED's. I told him that Satan loves LED's, so he had better examine his evil heart.
😂
In the world of 12 V DC, LED's can't be beat.
They draw very minimal amps compared to
the incandescents and fluorescents they are replacing.
That is his story too and he is sticking to it. “But the incandescent is way less invasive on my brain!” argument doesn’t hold a candle to the “Do you have any idea how many pennies we are saving with LED’s?!” comeback.
make that many more years
centennialbulb.org
That’s amazing. Thanks for sharing this.
This is true. I get the lower kelvin, they give off a warmer light and are easier on my eyes.
Some LED bulbs have switchable color temperature outputs: 5000K, 5300K, and 2700K. "Mood enhancement", doncha know.
Some of the LEDs give off light similar to what you would find in Gitmo to torture prisoners.
Tired of those new fangled LED BLUES?
Tough on the eye sockets and corneas aren't they?
But we are saving the world from "electrick" over consumption.
While cumulative blinding is ok and the proper way forward. EH?
You beat me to it,but I did find more on the market than right after the push of the frequency disrupters. Be gone with smart anything and that includes the too brights on vehicles and everywhere.
Pretty much figure smart is code word for spy.
And don't get me started with AI, and the constant harassment from browsers, etc.

It's like that god awful Microsoft Word paperclip, but with a Reaper Drone capability if you offend it.
The paperclip meme I saved long ago says

Would you like to turn on all caps?” 😂
🤣😆
Right?? I can’t stand that 🙄 Same reaction.
Right on!
Great point, you are correct!
🎯
I've come to like LEDs. The cost has cone down and not having to constantly change bulbs is a plus. The real reason to want incadescents back as a choice is that the government has no business banning them, just as it has no business ductating how many times we can flush our toilets.
That they do such is all the more egregious in that most such regulations are based on the many lies of climate change.
In its summer meeting in China, the WEF, among other idiocies, claimed people must wash theur clothes less often ... to save the planrt. All such moves must be resisted on principle, regardless of the possible merits of the intended begavior change.
CDC had no authority to declare a rent moratorium during the plandemic.
SCOTUS' rejection of the Chevron Doctrine might signal the end of a lot of this overreach from the regulative state.
amen. Even it if doesn't undo rediculous rules, it stops them going forward.
Hopefully the government overreach will stop.
WORD!!
"The real reason to want incadescents back as a choice is that the government has no business banning them, just as it has no business ductating how many times we can flush our toilets."
CHOICE. LEDs are OK for the basement and garage but not elsewhere in the house.
Alex Jones warned that the next WEF manufactured crisis will be a water shortage.
They're already cutting off water to Idaho farmers.
Read it's going to a lithium mine (intense H2O usage) that a slew of politicians are invested in.
Cobalt mine.
They can't employ starving children, so they need to use water.
The potato farmers.
bloody federal ban on sale of items that don't harm your eyes like their preferred alternative (LED)
you can buy incandescent bulbs in bulk from China (like the alibaba.) I'm strongly considering doing so, I hate LED bulb color and flicker
Thank you for that info. Gonna get on line and look!
YES! I miss them! 💡 🙌
Meeee too!
Personally, I'd like to have a washing machine that actually cleans clothes instead of splashing them in a puddle of dirty water. And appliances that last. Hopefully we can start building some of these things in the US again with fewer regulations that drive up costs (while simultaneously driving down quality).
If you can find $1400, you can still buy Speed Queen commercial washers. The friggin things are true old-school commercial quality, and they WORK. Even in our smallish town, one appliance store sells them (and it ain't Home Depot or Lowes).
I LOVE my Speed Queen! The spin cycle is so effective my husband’s filthy heavy work clothing is practically dry when the washer is finished.
I love my speed queen. I can fill that tub with as much water as I want. I do hate the lock on the top but I figured out that hitting the cancel button once opens it so I can add clothing.
Those are the ones we will get once the crappy LG ones we got about 5 years ago give up the ghost. Hubby had looked into the speed queen ones too, and loves that they can be repaired and parts replaced by the homeowner if they’ve got the technical knowledge. 👍🏻
I was just going to say that…Speed Queen! We’ve had ours for four years now. They are the best! We made sure to get the mid level old school with knobs and push buttons. Zero Digital Touch screens as they’re most likely to fail.
One day I will go postal on my HE washer.
I actually hooked up a short hose to the faucet on the stationary tub so I can fill up more water in the washing machine.
The left seems to have forgotten that they have a purpose beyond light; used for decades to keep young animals and pipes from freezing. Bring ‘em back!
the SOB feds in their All Knowing All Powerfulness only banned "illumination" incandescent bulbs. you can still buy them for heat lamps and some low watt appliance bulbs.
I was able to buy “rough duty” garage incandescent lights that I use in trouble lights to help keep my RV bays warm in the winter when we (occasionally) venture up north.
Frankly I’d rather have a toilet that takes just 1 flush & a dishwasher cycle that takes less than an hour!
Hahaha! Those low-flush toilets are so stupid. How is having to flush multiple times to get the job done conserving anything?
Hate the low flow shower heads too. It’s a pain trying to rinse products out of my hair. In some models hubs figured out how to take some little restrictor out to let more water run through.
It’s still frustrating to have to undo things that like.
Death by a thousand paper cuts in day to day life. Very much done with malicious intent, IMHO.
Yes! We’ve removed impediments to shower & faucets as well.
It’s Idiocracy: have ANYTHING “use” less water (faucets, toilets, washing machines, dishwashers, etc) but have to flush or run the others 4 times as long that ultimately uses MUCH more water. Just like the energy expended not only to run an EV, but MAKE the damn things.
Globally, we’re ruled by FUCKING MORONS
Common sense no longer common these days. Agree 100% with your character assessment of those who would rule over us.
Nana, In addition to common sense being uncommon these days, so very much in such very short supply (& esp for those in positions of power whose actions affect entire nations): rationality, decency, honor, intelligence, humility, humbleness, courage & an all around obligation to do the right thing. I’m old enough to remember when such things were societal expectations…. Now it’s raaaacist, “privileged” or otherwise “discriminatory” to believe these should be the norm…for EVERYBODY
You need a Toto toilet! One flush is all that’s needed, and there’s barely any water sitting in the bowl. They call it the tornado flushing system. I was skeptical at first, but the Toto takes care of it.
Yes! I would rather use a candle than an LED.
I was at a local Lowe's last week, looking for light bulbs, when I espied packages of old style ones on the floor underneath all the new kinds. Bought them all! Evidently some stores can sell what they have until the stock's gone, woohooo! And 6 of the old candelabra ones cost $10 whereas 6 of the LEDs were $22.
I buy Chromomalux full spectrum light bulbs from www.healthlighting.com. Love them.
The problem is - Biden can’t tell the truth - he always and forever makes stuff up on the fly - like his law school standing, his uncle being eating by cannibals, that he’s a 6 handicap and that he attended Delaware State.
It’s understandable if you dislike Trump, but this “Joe Biden is a good and decent man” line is bullsh@t.
He is not a good man at all. He is mean, angry, vindictive and wouldn't know right from wrong if it hit him in the face.
And, he is a pathological and chronic liar calling his opponent and anyone he disagrees with 'a liar'. He and his wife are starting to make me sick
He is a long time racist.
"I mean, you got the first sort of mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy."
Racist Biden doing racism.
And wasn’t his very first campaign banked by a communist? Hammer?
IDK
Cringe cringe cringe
He is an actual racist who sees himself as superior to other due to the color of their skin. He is the wirst kind of racist because rather than try to stay away from darker skinned folks, he socks up to them for their votes and panders and patronizes in a disgusting sort of way.
'If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black'
Like most demoncraps
Yes.
And he has been caught plagiarizing.
Just like the university presidents.
Not to mention the child hair-sniffing and showers with his daughter. He's a disgusting pervert.
And the story about kids rubbing his leg hair. You don't tell a story like that in public unless you are a loud, proud, and unafraid pedo.
🎯
Agree.
He’s also a criminal.
agree
They always were what they are.
An entire career based on lies and misinformation; The VISUAL Live broadcasting of Truth is what's bothering the Commie Media and Dems---they preferred their Lies for their own minds and for the idiot masses that they influence; and yes, they want a different Lie NOW. The "Radical Right" has never lied about this guy--exaggeration at times but that's normal--he did his best for The Progressive Revolution in that format and couldn't defend or mask the BIG LIE well enough to the taste of those who placed him there. The country is wrecked because of them all NOT better--they are Enthralled with the Results of Joe B. but just want an invigorated spokesman to perpetuate THIS LIE for them.
The fatal flaw for TPTB is the satanic delusion that they can defile everything. The internet amplifies their lies, but it amplifies the truth as well. At the end of the day, truth is far more powerful.
What a damning and true statement. Touché.
FJB has never been a good man. His part in Justice Thomas's hearing back in the day was despicable. He was the chairman on the committee. His arrogance and his ignorance were on display.
He was awful then and he's awful now
I have despised him since that hearing. I had to explain the coke can and various other unsavory "facts" to my 78 year old mother.
He was not elected, so there's that really big fat lie. He has a very diabolical backing, and they all need to go.
I do not get what all this hand wringing worry about what world leaders will do. They've known since day One!! Joe removed the Houthi terrorist designation and gave Iran piles of money. He gave money to Hamas AND Israel. He started Ukraine issues in 2014, and ramped them up, denying Ukraine the option to negotiate a peace. He sanctioned Russua and effectively startedvthe final downturn/demise of the USD. In just these actions alone, he has given the world free reign. North Korea is now allowed to leave its reservation and is sending military to aid Russia. What does the world leaders think? Is it possible they would welcome Trump back to the world stage? I think it's possible.
Just starting? I wonder if he had something to do with his former wife's death...
Have you seen the photo of young Jill, the babysitter, sitting on his knee in his backyard? Creepy. My guess is he was grooming her while she watched his kids and his first wife, who drank, saw what was going on.
And Pedo Joe lied and said a drunk driver hit her.
She was at fault.
Pedo Joe ruined that guy's life.
Yes, it was she who was drunk. The pedo's baggage is catching up to him.
Pedo Joe lied and vilified that poor truck driver forever.
Can you imagine what the poor guy and his family went through?
Grooming her?😂🤣Is that what we’re calling shagging now?
She looked awfully young, but he could have been shagging her.
No need to wonder, in my opinion.
mine too
All of these players are just actors. Shakespeare (maybe a fake person) wrote that ‘All the world is a stage,’ and he was correct.
Politics is just Hollyweird for ugly people, but they are better actors.
None of this theater means anything at all.
Only Jesus of Nazareth, the Annointed One, matters. He is the Christ, and the King of kings.
Funny. I just used that Shakepeare quote to comment on a WSJ article concerning the debate and Biden's performance.
🙏
I have wondered the same thing
"starting"? Lol
I try to not allow my emotions get the best of me for peace of soul.
For some reason, today, they are.
starting to make you sick? He's made me sick since he became VP, until then, I didn't know who he was.
He has made me sick since he dropped out of the presidential campaign decades ago because he was caught plagiarizing. I despise cheaters and liars.
I have noticed in my life that liars hate being called a liar, but freely dish it out to anyone or anything they disagree with. During the debate if he said anything that could have had substance-it was a lie. And I don’t care how he golfs, I prefer the dick measure criteria or even “my dad is bigger than your dad” argument. 😏
Name-calling and lame insults thrill our desperate-housewife culture. What would it take to stir up interest in a substantive compare/contrast on real issues?
How about:
-botched surrender of Afghanistan.
-forcing people to take the covid DeathVax or they would lose their job.
Jill is morphing into a screeching lunatic.
The leading environmental hazard in DC.
If they only “starting to make you sick” it took you a while! But at least you “woke up”!
Same!
Well at least the Criminal-in-Chief was cremated on Thursday.
There's an old saying when a clown moves into the palace, he doesn't become king. The palace becomes a circus.
This is a Criminal Cabal Circus.
The inmates are running the asylum. Pretty much literally.
It doesn’t matter. The brain dead will vote for the ashes. Or They need us to believe they will as part of the plan for the Steal.
I like that saying! So apropos! Is it American or is it European?
I can't believe I remembered it. A professor told me that 35 years ago.
I'm not sure it even can be accredited to someone.
I would bet it was a translation from a European country. My grandparents were European and had lots of sayings.
Stealing that saying from you thanks!
And yes, American soldiers died on his watch.
And he was caught looking down at his watch during the ceremony at Dover when the bodies of some of those soldiers arrived. His lie during the debate that his administration has taken better care of the military than Trump's, was maddening. He has severely damaged our military with vaccine mandates and transgender nonsense. The day after the debate, he was in my state, NC, bragging that he, unlike Trump, tells the truth. Of course, that was another lie.
The VA ran better under Trump.
He forgot about their ultimate sacrifice under his watch-so disheartening 😞
He was too busy checking his watch while the bodies arrived at Dover AFB.
That's because he doesn't care. Their just warm (or were warm) bodies to him. How disgusting.
I do not believe that he cares one iota for other people. I sense nothing but hate and self love. They say Trump is all about himself, but again they project.. The more I see Trump with people
the more I sense how genuine he is about liking people, how much he loves this country, and how much of a leader he is. Damned unethical Demoncrats!
It's really amazing that the MSM constantly says Trump lies when they have a guy like Biden as their preferred candidate, a guy like Obama as their god, and a woman like Shrillary as their goddess.
Biden has been a professional liar for like 50 years now. It's not something that just started. The whole Nelson Mandela thing, for example. Or some of the academic accomplishments or jobs he claimed to have had. Or the weird cornpop and leg hair story. Major lies. Complicated and verifiable lies. He's one of those compulsive liars, who lies even when he has to know he's going to be caught.
Meanwhile Trump's "lies" are either truthful statements the media doesn't like (around the economy, for ex.) or exaggerations like the crowd size at a rally or the bigliness of something he's proud of. They're not really even comparable to Democrats and the MSM's wholesale lying machine. Inflation, jobs, climate, covid, vaxxes, Ukraine, trans...it's just constant, complex, provable lies from the Ds and their lapdogs in media.
There’s a reason his kids and dogs are like they are. Between he and insane Jill, they didn’t stand a chance.
Good point.
I question his ability to be a good and decent man. I think he has the ability to even pretend at this point.
Hair sniffing pedos who shower with their daughter are evil and sick.
Biden has no good inside of him.
But ironically people I know think that Biden’s “pedo hair sniffing, showering with his daughter, marrying Jill, the children’s babysitter” is “nothing” compared to Trump’s “past criminal behavior and his treatment of women”! Go figure…the power of rational and or reasonable thought is completely gone now.
Covid proved to me how clueless and brainwashed people are...
Plus Jill was the wife of his best friend when he started having an affair with her, yet 'the thought of' him daring to say that Trump has the morals of an alley cat on the debate stage was disgusting.
Lest you all forget, he is also a rapist and the poor woman lives in Russia now, out of fear. And speaking of '"morals of an alley cat", besides his own perverse life, has he looked at his son Hunter's photos recently?😬
I totally agree… these people I speak of (democrats in general) have been ‘programmed’ to believe that the ‘crimes and misbehaviors with women’ of Donald Trump, far outweigh Biden’s ‘pedo ways and criminal activity’, that he has engaged in for most of his entire political career.
(For the record…I am neither a supporter of DJT nor of Let’s Go Brandon. I just call it as I sees it! )
You are objective. That is a virtue which has been largely lost these days. That is one of the reasons I respect RFKJR. I can't tell you how many times he said 'Trump is right' as he answered the debate questions, but went on to offer his own ideas.
🔥
Biden tells lie after lie and is never called to question by the lapdog MSM. Their main attack in the debate was that 'Trump is a liar'. No evidence required, saying it is enough, and part of the plan. Follows Alinsky to the nth degree.
From Saul Alinsky, "Rules for Radicals": "Accuse your opponent of what you are doing, to create confusion and to inculcate voters against evidence of your own guilt".
agree
Wasn't he dating Jill while his wife was still alive (and married to him)? And he had the gall to say Trump had the "morals of an alley cat" (I think those are the words he used.) I was SO disappointed Trump didn't pick up on that and ask him if he's showered with Ashley lately?
An obvious comeback for a gutter fight. Which Trump didn’t want. I really believe President Trump behaved as best he could, under the insane circumstances, as someone with the awareness that all the world was watching.
He said at one point, that ‘this is not a real debate’. And we all know that is the truth.
That's certainly true. There was no debate at all.
And Biden showered with his daughter...so sick...
Yet, the FBI will kick down your door if you try to publish the diary.
You’re spot on. I think earlier on, Biden was capable of “pretending,” but now, the screws are gone. We should start looking at the invisible governing body: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/who-are-the-bad-guys
When will the spineless republicants call for the 25th? Hello? You’ve got a zombie on the button of the world? You gonna let that slide for four more months?
Well, look who his replacement is. IMO that's the ONLY reason the 25th hasn't been invoked yet.
The spineless republicans are just that…spineless, clueless, and pathetic. They could learn a lot from watching the democrats. The democrats didn’t hesitate to impeach Trump for nonsense…and yet Biden is an unmitigated disaster for Americans and the world, and the GOP does nothing. Get busy doing the work of the American people or resign. Period.
Do you WANT Kamala as president? I don't think anyone does.
Chip Roy is going to call for the 25th to be invoked. What good does it do, however, if the VP and cabinet have to agree?
The VP could have him gone in an afternoon. Type it up, she signs, 3 Cabinet Heads sign, he's gone. It really that simple.
Yes, I know the process, but will they be willing to do this? I'm not at all sure they will.
I believe the majority of Dems are wanting to encourage him to leave office at this point, based on listening to CNN's post Debate. CNN had to have received the go-ahead to start the downward spiral otherwise they would've kept up their notion that Biden is the better candidate. New marching orders for the media and the majority of Dems, even in government roles.
Perhaps the 25th is not the best idea - who would be put into place that would draw more votes to the Dems?
five more months and change
This would be the perfect time for our enemies to strike.
Woke and weak Pentagon.
President with dementia.
We are in the most dangerous place ever.
DEFCON 1.
I've detested the POS since the Anita Hill hearings, not just because of the hearings but all the stuff he did back then. The guy ruined his first presidential run being busted for plagiarism. It's obvious Joe always had friends in high places. He is a pathological liar who wrecked his children's lives. He's a perv and a sexual abuser, to boot. His family has gotten millions from their investments in the Iraq and Ukraine war, which he helped broker. That was also on video - and still people ignore it. I don't know what it would take for the average person to understand just how awful a human being Joe Biden is.
Or that Trump lies and Biden doesn't? Come on man.
You left out a whole buncha reasons… 😆😢
Hard to call him a liar as he has no idea what he’s saying! Makes one feel like we are in deep shit! Truly Remarkable Under Malicious Persecution 2024!
Maybe Biden's uncle was David Rockefeller and was eaten by cannibals. This goes with the conspiracy theory that it's just 13 families that run the world.
And those who are backing Biden are the other puppets - interesting how many of them are IL (or former IL) politicians. Another reason I left that crooked state!
Thank you for mentioning the unexpected passing of Congressman Thomas Massie’s wife, Rhonda. I was shocked when I heard about it yesterday. I had just watched the two hour interview with Tucker Carlson a few days prior. I knew little of Massie before the interview but came away so impressed with this man. An inventor with a successful company, who put family first to move back to rural Kentucky he and his wife’s birthplace. He is so unique and courageous in an “aw-shucks” way. His impressions of Mitch McConnell and President Trump were hysterical. We so need men like him in Congress. I am so sorry for he and his family. His wife and kids were first on his list.
His interview is probably my favorite Tucker interview so far. Massie instantly became my favorite congressman. There’s another video about his life off the grid which is amazing.
It was an excellent interview, so is the more recent one with Matt Taibbi.
Mine too! It was an excellent interview and the YouTube video of his homestead is quite inspiring. It’s so tragic and suspicious that his beloved wife, Rhonda, has died so young. God keep Rep. Thomas Massie safe! 🙏🏻
https://youtu.be/omBSEuFTYEo?si=tF3CICEuuEAYZ8De
Thank you. I had it saved and it disappeared. One of Tucker’s best interviews.
I am convinced that there are at least TWO good, honest men in the Congress.
Massie and Rand Paul, both from Kentucky.
What about Jim Jordan and the guy up north fighting the jab lies? Ron????
Senator Ron Johnson from Wisconsin
Yesss! Him!!!
He really is amazing. I feel like many get frustrated with “nothing done” but it also takes a lot to get things done/change.
Both big talkers, but no action. Johnson has been holding the receipts on the 💉bioweapon for over 2 years and has never acted. Unacceptable. JJ never gets anything through. In fact he doesn’t even try.
There are 435 people there and at least 420 are bought out by big pharma. At least acknowledge that he can’t do it alone.
He’s done far more than most by doing his best to get the information out to the people.
He was definitely the first to bring public light to the injuries on behalf of his people!
Ron Johnson is the only politician I have donated for to date. Unfortunately I put down my cell phone number on the required form - mistake! I get many, many texts from every R imaginable, and they have thousands if not millions of numbers to use, so blocking any particular number does little good. Put down a home phone number or nothing if you can.
I have as well and I swear I never donated. I actually blocked the numbers on my phone.
Unfortunately, we also have McConnell here in the Bluegrass State. He’s awful.
Then you should listen to the Tucker interview with Massie. He does an impression of McConnell that is so funny.
True.
But but but but but ... If not for McConnell, Garland would be on the Supreme Court.
I don’t quite buy that either. I think most of DC thought Hillary would win. Then the GOP planned to push Garland through before Congress ended. He was after all, billed by all as a Moderate in the court system. Win, win…
Very sad. I will say some prayers for him and his children. I lost my mom when she was 60 and it changed everything, those poor kids.
When I lost mine (she 79, me 52) a friend told me life will now be before you lost her and after
This is so true :(
So true. I lost my mom the week of 9/11/2001 (her funeral was on the 10th) so it was amplified for me.
I lost my mom when she was 54, I was 24. Indeed it changed everything.
Mine was 62. Changes everything is absolutely true.
If you liked that, watch this short documentary, Off the Grid. I did, after the Tucker interview and only admired Massie more.
https://youtu.be/18_yXt1s2yc?si=CYhl-DlJQJk7WPUp
I linked that too! Such a great portrait of him, and so inspiring.
I watched this a couple weeks ago. Was very impressed with him. He was also on the Western A. Price Foundation podcast discussing raw milk. So sad to hear this.
I read that she was only 50, and had just returned from a vacation. So sad! RIP Rhonda! ❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
She should have been 52 or 53. They went to high school together. She was valedictorian of their graduating class and they went to MIT together.
IDK; it was in an article. Back in the day, kids were often moved up a grade or two based on their knowledge. Don’t see that so much anymore. Rhonda was clearly very bright.
I felt heartsick when I read that Massie’s wife had died. I watched the video of his life off grid and found him to be a very down to earth man with an amazing intellect.
That was a wonderful interview. It’s amazing what he and his wife built. So sad to hear about this.
Anyone else wondering if the deep state got her?
Rhonda was vacationing in WA state (Mt. Ranier) just before her death. Lest you need a reminder, that's where the global cabal leader lives. First US Covid case and death. Our top conservative lawmaker lost his wife suddenly about six months ago in a solo car wreck. My radar is pinging.
There is a great doc called Off the grid with Thomas Massie on you tube. Even better than the Tucker interview, which was great.

Then Yahweh answered Job out of the whirlwind and said,
“Who is this that darkens counsel
By words without knowledge?
Now gird up your loins like a man,
And I will ask you, and you make Me know!
Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth?
Tell Me, if you know understanding,
Who set its measurements? Since you know.
Or who stretched the line on it?
On what were its bases sunk?
Or who laid its cornerstone,
When the morning stars sang together
And all the sons of God shouted for joy?”
— Job 38:1-7 LSB
👏👏👏
Our God is the Almighty and will have the last words.
THIS is what keeps me moving forward....with hope and surety, even in the dark.
EDIT: I removed the paywall on the post titled “Walk Toward the Light.” — This is behind a paywall on my stack, but thought it would bring you comfort:
Walk Toward the Light
I walk toward the light
In the shadowed moments of the unknown
When I lack understanding and direction
On dark days when hardly a sliver of brightness shines through
When I struggle to find the will to persevere
When the path is not visible and my steps are uncertain
When clouds of confusion spill their torrent
And fear threatens to drown
When I can’t see with my eyes
Even so, my soul sees and yearns and reaches
Because You reach down and raise my head
I look up and I can see
The light is You and in You, O God
Shining, drawing, illuminating my soul
With hope, with comfort, with assurance
That no matter what I walk through
No matter what is ahead or around the bend
You are there, unmoved, unchanged, undimmed
And as I keep walking toward the light
The path becomes brighter
My steps become surer
The darkness recedes, retreats, dissolves
In the light of Your truth
And in the brilliance of Your glory
I walk toward the light
And the light enfolds me.

Absolutely love this! Thank you for sharing ❤️
Beth- there’s another post with an image inspired by the poem.
What a beautiful poem, Janice!! Thank you for sharing!!
Beautiful and comforting. Thank you, Janice. ❤️
Yes...the only reason darkness is...is the ABSENSE of light.
1 John 1:5 God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.
Colossians 3:1-3 If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things of the earth. for you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
Now that keeps things in perspective while we are living here!
Always appreciate your words...from His, Janice.
The last word could be a punishment. Let's keep that in mind.
“As for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, And at the last He will take His stand on the earth." - Job 19:25 NAS
“I know that You can do all things, And that no purpose of Yours can be thwarted." -- Job 42:2 LSB
1 The Lord said to Job:
2 “Will the one who contends with the Almighty correct him?
Let him who accuses God answer him!”
3 Then Job answered the Lord:
4 “I am unworthy—how can I reply to you?
I put my hand over my mouth.
5 I spoke once, but I have no answer—
twice, but I will say no more.”
Job 40:1-5
Many times I've been put in Job's place - I am unworthy - how can I reply to you? I will put my hand over my mouth
I wanted to include this passage too!
Job has some very powerful lessons.
Grace to you, Janice. Will you post Job 42:7-8 from your Legacy Standard? I would like to add it to my comparison chart.
Now it happened after Yahweh had spoken these words to Job, that Yahweh said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My anger burns against you and against your two friends because you have not spoken of Me what is right as My servant Job has. So now, take for yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, and go to My servant Job, and offer up a burnt offering for yourselves, and My servant Job will pray for you. For I will accept him so that I may not do with you according to your folly, because you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has.”
— Job 42:7-8 LSB
I use the Literal Word app. It has KJV, LSB, NASB, and ESV. No fluff, just scripture and dictionary.
Thanks much!
It's all been a conspiracy for four friggin' years. Where are the watchdog groups? Why wasn't the 25th amendment invoked? Where are the whistle blowers?
When's the DOJ going to release those Biden audio tapes?
They won't because it will reveal to all exactly what's going on:
That the Cadever-in-Chief gets treats, for good behavior, from Nurse Ratchet (Dr. Jill) like a dotting mother clapping for her toddler just for leaving his diaper dry.
Perhaps part of the conspiracy is now they can install a candidate who didn't get a single primary vote.
Democracy dies in darkness......................
It's actually a constitutional republic. 😉
And yes, it's lamp is nearly snuffed out.
Pray God allows the work of righteous people to prevail and the light begins to burn again.
We should always refer to it as a constitutional Republic. But I couldn't help but take a jab at WaPo.
Four out five people like democracy...so they can "cane" the 1 out of 5 who know the difference.
Their BIG LIE President let them down; their Lies and misinformation weren't well defended by stammering dry-coughing Joe, so THEY want to KILL the Messenger now; a slicker silver tongued Devil must come forth to intensify the Progressive Revolution while strongly convincing us all how very great the entire thing is. This is a Cult and it needs a new spokesperson as the tired old model needs to be kicked to the curb only to be placed into the venerable Pantheon after his mortal passing.
Yes, to lose their Biggest Lie about the "big lie" is a loss so threatening that they must continue to lie or the biggest lie of all will be revealed; that you are so alone you can't speak truth.
True democracies (direct voting by everyone) haven't been practical for anything larger than small cities until the advent of the internet, and probably will never be implemented. Can you imagine EVERYONE in the US voting on an omnibus spending bill?? And how would the top general and admiral be voted on? The problems would be immense.
As far as I can tell, though, something like a constitution and bill of rights could just as easily be part of a democracy as part of a republic.
Democracies are ‘mob rule’.
I think our new attack on Biden should be, that anyone who votes for Biden, is ACTUALLY voting for Kamala. That should change some minds.
Anyone clueless enough to vote for Biden, won’t be able to connect the dots with Kamala. Genetically incapable.
They’re the “vote blue no matter who” crew
Kamala might be an alcoholic...continually acts and sounds like she is drunk!
Lol, I can just see Kamala and Nancy hitting a fancy DC bar for Happy Hour.
Stoned is more like it
I could see that.
Brilliant. Joe=Kamala.
I need that bumper sticker...
💕💕💕💕💕
And I hope it does die.
I want my REPUBLIC BACK!
No doubt.
I'd just as soon go back to the 80's.
Everything was better back then.....by any metric.
The music was pretty fun. This is not my beautiful wife. How did I get here?
<chops forearm>
now I have an earworm - one I really like!

I know. You know the rest of my response
But some of the rest of us don't.
Do share. 😃
My new tag line: “Heavy Sigh”. I’ve been using it quite a lot across multiple substacks that Ryan and I frequent. : )
Somehow I can't "like." Thanks for answering my curiosity.
I'm sorry you dislike this. My reaction when I read some of this is a high sigh. I'mn not sure what's to dislike.
Oh, no! I meant that the website wasn't letting me activate the "like" button!
I agree completely that a heavy sigh is an appropriate (and healthy!) response!
::Sigh::
Now you got me hooked on it!
: )
I cried when I read that Thomas Massie’s wife died. He’s been a fighter for us against the deep state. And I hate to see him get hit like this. But then I laughed at the comparison of this pivotal time in history being like a man who climbed the ladder in his flip flops to clean out the gutters (against his wife’s advice). I am laughing and crying alternately with all that is going on. More rejoicing though, I have to say. Glimmers of light in this dark time.
I loved that line from Jeff, but I think the debate will not be and never was the defining moment. We all have known about Brandon’s dementia for 3 and a half years. The Conservative legacy media harped on how he would be replaced within a month or two of taking office. Then they went silent in the onslaught of the vaxx and a shot in every arm.
No, the turning point was Covid and the shuttering a Nation. Everything is now BC, (before covid), and AD, (after death, of a nation).
It is truly amazing the things I have learned about our country and it's history since COVID. Talk about waking up. 👀
Same here.
We would be remiss if we forgot the 2020 riots. Absolutely related to covid, however it was a display of the lengths those power-crazed people will do to get their way. I suspect those same paid actors will be in the streets for months, maybe years, if DJT is elected and the election stands.
If the House swings Democrat, they won't allow an elected DJT to take office.
I agree. Other 'causes' like BLM took advantage of the unstable situation. Now we have to pay attention to Trans rights as a national thing? It was inevitable that he hottest issue in the last 100 years - the Middle East - would also flare up. ("Hey, what about us?"). All the non-COVID issues were distractions that the WH, DoD and Pharma interests supported.
No cause is about the cause. The cause is about the Revolution. ALWAYS. h/t James Lindsay (and others)
I was just listening to a podcast during which it is asserted that J*hn Br-nnan is not only a formerly registered Communist, he is also a practitioner of Islam. I keep reading/hearing about the connections between the leftist NAZI movement, Islam/Jihadism, and communism. IDK, just sayin'.
Oh, and that J0hn Br3nnan is the puppetmaster. IDK. Just reporting what I heard from a notable individual. (If it's on the internet it must be true, right?)
Thanks for replying. Sounds like this rumored Revolution is a tear-down, build back up operation somehow. But don't the recent SCOTUS decisions reflect well on our form of government? I was just given a great boost of hope this week as the ship may be righting itself. Slowly. It's a big ship.

Does anyone know what caused her death?
It was sudden. That certainly makes one wonder, doesn’t it.
Three weeks after Tom Massie pulled back the cover on how Washington really works, on Tucker's show seen by millions of people, his beautiful wife suddenly dies. Yet people are afraid to bring it up even on this Substack. Some of that is out of respect for the family which I understand, but most of it is out of fear. We are in much worse shape than we thought.
You are exactly right. My first thought was ‘How was she killed?’ but thought some might find it disrespectful. I mean no disrespect. But there was ‘possibly’ a very clear message sent by her untimely death. May God rest her soul and bring peace to her family in the name of Jesus.
My first thought was the 'jab'. I just had another friend in her late 50s die of cancer that started 2 years ago.
Tom Massie was delightful on Tucker and exactly what we need in a leadership position. I wish him all the comfort he can find. Good man.
AMEN
Respect only…at least on C&C. To a person, we were wondering.
Hopefully it's primarily out of respect, and this is a good, decent bunch here so I get that.
I have no idea what happened to her, it may have just been one of those things. I do know that she was with Tom at Tucker's interview a few weeks ago. I also know based on Chip Roy's comments that it was sudden. On top of that the fact that the Massie family isn't elaborating likely means they are in complete shock. This almost certainly wasn't some long, debilitating illness.
The problem is that coming right after what Tom disclosed on Tucker's show about who controls the GOP Congress, it raises very real questions. Yet we aren't even allowed to bring it up, people are intentionally self-censoring themselves. I've found that when people demand we not question something, nine times out of ten it's in bad faith. This may be that time when it's a complete coincidence, stranger things have happened. But the fact that people don't feel free to speculate is a real problem.
Edit: Jeff Childers has mentioned before when a cause of death isn't given what it usually means. I'm not going to spell it out here as I don't want to upset people. But we are in demonic times, where nothing is at it seems and the people in power will stop at nothing. They just poisoned a couple billion people with the vax for goodness' sakes. Believe nothing of what you hear in the coming days.
Jeff C, you are right there is a problem if people won't even bring up their suspicions about Thomas Massie's wife's sudden death. We give the bad guys exactly what they want when we shutup. Well, I'll voice my suspicion because I have already said this before here and other places: Thomas Massie was the only congressman who didn't take orders,money or threats from AIPAC. AIPAC/ISRAEL owns our government and our govt answers to them, not to the Constitution nor to the people. If Israel will murder aid workers delivering food to starving, war-torn Gazan women and children, if they will mercilessly mass murder 10's of thousands of these innocent civilians, if they will fuel a mind-control program that has warped millions of Christians into believing modern Israel is the reincarnated Israel of the Bible and done it purely for their own blood-thirsty, selfish, greedy motives, what won't they do?
"The creation of the Zionist State of Israel has brought turmoil, treachery, death and destruction that is almost unequalled in modern history. The Rothschild conspiracy to create its own Zionist state has its tentacles in both world wars and in virtually every significant act of war afterward.” Reverend Dr. Chuck Baldwin, who has made a deep study of Zionist Israel vs Israel of the Bible.
Jeff C - you make excellent points here.
We must put on our full armors.
Thomas Massie refused the vaxx, so my guess is she probably didn’t either.
Jeff C - my friend brought to my attention that Massie reposted Jimmy Dore’s tweet from 6/16/24 about all the lies surrounding the shots. Dore reposted a tweet by The Vigilant Fox with the video testimony at the Ohio statehouse from a severely injured pharmacist
Yesterday I speculated that it was the jabs because that’s where my mind immediately goes with the whole sudden and unexpected narrative, but i don’t even know if she took them. That or suicide these days, but that doesn’t seem probable.
I wonder, because Massie talked at length on Tucker about building his homestead, if it might have been something like carbon monoxide poisoning. We knew a couple that died that way after they returned home from a Euro vacay and turned their heat on before bed but the exhaust was blocked and they had no detectors. That would be very tragic indeed.
Well said Jeff C.
Especially when he brought up the $17 million slush fund Congress has for their sexual harassments.

Thanks for bringing this up. My first thought--did they get him, through her?
And: Am I the only one who also wondered similar about DeSantis' wife's breast cancer?
Thank you bringing it up. I want to respect Massie (my new fave congressman), and don't want to fuel fires like a Qster, but...Rhonda was vacationing in WA state (Mt. Ranier) just before her death. Lest you need a reminder, WA is where a major global cabal leader lives. And the state that had th first US Covid case and death. Our top conservative lawmaker (and I mean fearless, filing bills C&Crs would like) lost his wife to a logging truck collision Last October. Probably just a 'coincidence,' BUT my radar is pinging. https://www.kiro7.com/news/local/jamie-walsh-wife-washington-rep-jim-walsh-dies-car-collision/TGCW7U7GT5AQXCV6OLIQUD7QAM/
That is a horrific thought.
Yes. That's why I asked.
Thanks for response
Please, don't go there. These things happen to even the best people as Harold kushner reminded us years ago. I have lost many friends to things like strokes aneurysms congestive heart failure falls, there are a whole list of things that can take one out of this world instantly. To start playing politics with the tragedy of Mrs Massey's death is beneath contempt and I urge you not to go there. It's not a good look.
It needs to be said. You’re wrong.
Was instantly wondering same. When I was a kid, back when we rode dinosaurs, we were taught that news stories should answer who, what, when, where, why, and how. The story linked didn't do so, just as most news stories today do not.
That would require work
That, and it narrows the propaganda field should they need to adjust the narrative later.
This isn't a who what where and why journalism story. The massies do not owe us an answer to any of those questions. We know she died and that's all we need to know. What we need now is to show Christian compassion for their tragic loss and not inject our own personal conspiracy theories into the dialogue.
I was commenting on the state of journalism in general. But thanks for your opinion.
No. I've been looking for updates but nothing yet. Whatever happened was unexpected because he was in DC when she died and I doubt he would have left her at home if she had been super ill. Plus, they had just returned home from a family vacation to Mt. Ranier.
They didn’t say however a photo of the family on vacation was shared from just a month or so ago. She appeared extremely thin and terminal.
I think she probably had a “heart attack” like Andrew Breitbart. IOW, she was murdered.
Agree. There's not too many coincidences between a dissident and DC
Yes, Rep. Massie is a courageous good leader. My heart goes out to him. A week before his wife passed they were hiking Mt. Rainier with their grandson. He posted a picture on X of the unusual cloud formations (chemtrails ) in the WA sky while here. I loved him for that.
I really felt so sad at learning of Rhonda's passing. Praying for the Massie family.
But yesterday Biden, looking refreshed, suddenly tanned, skin glowing, open collared, and lively, attended a ceremony with Elton John about the 'hallowed' day of the Stonewall riots in Greenwich Village. Because WW3 and domestic invasions, and the economy and all that are such insignificant issues compared to anything LGBTQ and/or abortion.
The Democrats make me literally sick.
Why hasn't any news pointed out the difference? Which one is the real Biden?
Easy for him yesterday; it was early in the day, and he had a teleprompter. Sundowner’s Syndrome happens with ppl and dementia. I bet they will ask for a daytime debate next time-if he makes it that far.
Pretty clear that someone changed his med regimen. And his “cold” disappeared overnight. Maybe he too Ivermectin, C, D and zinc! 😁
In one photo, the gaping and dazed expression remained the same, despite all the obvious beauty treatments he was given that morning.
After the first commercial break, when biden came back, his eyes were wide open and he barely blinked. I reckon they gave him a booster.
Lots of different drug medications for sure! Those black non blinking eyes! I noticed them back in 2020.
But doesn't he have blue eyes??
Yes! Something about the meds make his eyes look black without pupil or iris. Or maybe, it is just a demon?!
I was leaning towards the latter....
There is no “real” left only stand ins.
As Midwestern Doctor has pointed out, dementia patients zone out in the afternoon and evening. So Biden can be expected to be a little bit more alert in the mornings. And it explains why we don’t normally see him in the afternoons and evenings.
Love Midwestern Doctor!
I'd forgotten about that, it is "sundowning," and starts about 4 and ends at 8 or 9 usually. I've always thought it might have something to do with what gets released in the body at what time of day, like a circadian rhythm. Thyroid is from 11 pm to 1 am for instance.
I read an article yesterday where aids in the WH have leaked out that he struggles to wake up by 10AM, and is only coherent fir work until 4PM.
The Midwestern Doctor also said he thought that Biden has been vaccine damaged. Very interesting article.
I think it was a deep fake and not Joe. A different person with a mask on. They are all in on it. Trust me, the real, sleepy, confused Joe was at home in his diaper sleeping soundly.
You are right, he did look surprisingly fit and tan.
weird, right?
And what happened to his cold? His voice recovered quickly!
Maybe it took the drugs longer to kick in than his handlers were expecting. Can you imagine how on edge they are all the time asking themselves "What is he going to say now?" "Will the drugs kick in time?" and on and on.
That Stonewall Memorial the National Park Service put up pisses me off. What a crock.
Especially after I read Return of the Gods and learned it is all demonic.
He’s medicated, look at his pupils.
Body double.
"Is Joe Biden's Brain Vaccine Injured?"
Sub title: "How the Democrats became consumed by their own product"
A MIDWESTERN DOCTOR

https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/is-joe-bidens-brain-vaccine-injured?
Anyone who believes the media were in shock is suffering from cognitive dissonance. They KNEW. The read the memo instructing them how to react.
Remember during covid they were ALL SAYING THE SAME THING?
Well…..after the debate, they were ALL SAYING THE SANE THING. They were in LOCKSTEP. Only a fool would believe they did not know Biden was unfit before the debate.
The media is a mouthpiece for the intel community. The intel community is fully under the thrall of occultists.
I need to revisit the debate for some analysis. The stairs up to the platform. Only two "pillars" in the debate, with RFK excluded. Jachin and Boaz, symbolizing duality. I'm sure there's more.
This is all part of the next phase of their psyop, and psyop is witchcraft at its core. It's meant to influence behavior in the unwitting. It's meant to cause the "right" to revile Biden, and the "left" to be demoralized.
I will not give in to the temptation to sin just because of a media puppet show.
Neither will I put my faith in men.
Greater is He who is in me than he who is in the world.
The full armor is put on from the inside!
And it's His armor!
I’ve reviled Biden since he first ran for president decades ago so nothing to do with their attempts manipulate! 😛
Remarks were NOT organic, it was preplanned. 0400 e-mail talking points went out and the MSM lock stepped to it.
saying the ****SAME ****thing
Yes they’re not saying anything very *sane* lately for sure 😁😛
Lockstep. 100%.
Exactly. They may be evil, but they’re not stupid. This is all planned out.
IMO, the job is too much for him and he has cognitive decline which has its not so bad days and simply bad days...but I think that what contributed to his shocking performance and demeanor was a combination of lack of sleep (he has sleep apnea and wears a device), the homework overload they crammed into him and the effect on his frail body and brain, a combination of drugs for his back (remember, they wanted/requested to do it seated) and his foot problems (look up the details of his physical exam), and performance enhancing/focusing drugs like Aderall, some antihistamine for throat clearing, and God only knows what other medication. Anyone would be loopy! How much more, an elderly and already impaired man!
I also think that they may have been feeding him answers into the earpiece he fiddled with, and he couldn't keep up with that and hearing Trump's responses.
This is the reason they won't do a drug test!
So, we have them to thank for the HUGE mess we witnessed there and at the after party with his Nurse Ratchet praising him like he was a toddler and him looking like one back at her!
Let's hope that they don't figure it out better in September.
I wondered about an ear piece as well. When the parameters were announced - no notes, etc - my first thought was what about an earpiece.
He has obviously worn one previously. Watch him being asked a question then stare off as if listening intently. The stare is also part of the dementia but it seems to happen at events when he's questioned.
Yes.
Or perhaps he wasn’t wearing one and was searching/fiddling around for it to get his instructions. Maybe he was trying to recall instructions on what to do if his usual ear bug went dead 🤔
Agree
He fiddled with it at one point.
At the beginning of the debate, Bidums eyes were moving along as if he were reading a script. Very weird. Were the two even in the same room at the same time?
Perhaps Trump requests a neutral party checking for earpiece-type devices immediately before going on stage.
Excellent link - I read it last night. AMD, as always, was fantastic!
The sundowning comment in AMD was also a good point. They kicked out all the reporters and wouldn't let them back in. A friend, who is a nurse, brought up the point that maybe the "debate" was actually filmed in the afternoon. Definitely something to consider.
Frightening to think of someone with sundowners syndrome trying to handle the nuclear football in the middle of the night.
I was just reading this before C&C! He lays out an excellent case.
It’s a good post
Best substack! (besides Jeff’s of course 😊)
Brain Injury: It could well be that the shot exacerbated his already declining mental acuity. But that presupposed he actually took the shot.
Read this yesterday. Makes total sense.
That post was worth it just for the links to the New Age Bullshit and Postmodernism Language Generators.
Melanie and watched Thomas Massie’s interview with Tucker Carlson and were blown away by his grit, commitment to America and his willingness to do the righteous thing regardless of the political consequences. We are deeply saddened by the news of his wife’s sudden passing. We encourage everyone to watch this interview with a true American.
Post access?
Check Tucker’s website. Or utube.

We watched it on YouTube. But YT is notorious for pulling Tucker’s interviews.
It was fab.
Wonderful points on the Bible and Oklahoma’s fight to keep the memory of its importance to not only our country, our hemisphere, but also the world. May God bless their efforts to honor history as His Story. For goodness sake, we tell time by the birth of his son! All over the world today is 2,024 years from the most glorious nativity of humanity. Time testifies Christ is King. And while every American will have to make personal decision, basic facts of history shouldn’t be ignored because of a handful of people in our country hate God so much that they try to remove a key canon that testifies to him and unlocks many riddles of our culture, including how we tell time.
Yes, I wanted to make the same point. I am so pleased with the way Jeff explained this decision and the governor’s reasons for it. I think it makes sense to anybody, even those who are not Christians. I think the problem is that people are very fearful of the Bible who do not believe in it. Can a person not read the Bible and not become either a Jew or Christian? Are they afraid that people will convert if they are allowed to read it?
Still Pagan: And yet we still:
1. Name the days of the week after pagan false gods.
2. Start a new day in the middle of the night... instead of "the evening and the morning, the first day") I'll never understand that one.
3. Name some months after long gone Roman emperors (julius, augustus). Others after false gods (janus, mars, juno). Others are even more confusing using numbers that don't align with the month numbers. An octoberpus has 10 arms right? Wait. Your telling me that a decade isn't 12 years?
4. Celebrate birthdays: Don't get me started. It is an unpleasant realization.
5. Ignore the holy days in our Bible for preference of... well anything else really.
6. Redefine words so that the earliest English texts make no sense. (I'm looking at you, unicorn)
...
The list goes on and on and on... I must say that I am not looking forward to people that don't love the Bible and have even less understanding of it teaching our children about it.
In February 2024 the Special Counsel’s report said essentially that Biden was not mentally fit to stand trial. Then how is he fit to be the President?
Similar vibe: Many of the 3rd world invaders have IQ under 75, making them unfit for a criminal trial.
Thus when they commit crimes, well, tough doodie.
Speaking of IQ’s, I saw a CNN poll taken right after the debate in which apparently 33% thought Biden won. It appears that at least 33% of Americans might also be in the IQ under 75 category. Unfortunately, it appears that efforts to make people less intelligent over that last few decades has succeeded!
Well "polls" can be very skewed...what exactly is the criteria for "winning?"
