I have a client who works for the IRS (in IT) that came in yesterday. She was saying that the people who received true accommodations for working at home, prior to covid, say because they’re disabled or whatever, are also being required to come into the office every day. That doesn’t sound right to me, it sounds like ‘they’re taking away the poor kids lunch money!’ When they just moved it to another department. Anyone have ideas on this?
She also said that people who lived like 15 miles away were taking the package because they just can’t commute that far into work (we live in freaking HOUSTON, we drive 15 miles to go out to dinner). A couple of other gems were that people who were working at home to take care of their kids or elderly parents were just at a loss, without options, and were going to take the package. And also that there are multiple people in their 80s still working there because they like seeing everyone and don’t have anyone at home.
Now this client definitely leans left but she is not woke, she did lament the chaos going on and morale issues, but she’s worked in the private sector before and had been laid off and knows how this goes and is actually looking forward to improved efficiency. I set her straight on the commute, the child/elder care and the old people working (‘it’s not the responsibility of your workplace to accommodate those things’, I was kind and I’ve known this woman for years, it wasn’t argumentative at all). Anyway, she also said that 27,000 ish have taken the package this 2nd time around, about 4,000 the first time out of 102,000. That’s about 25%, so I’m thinking it’s going well over there.
I used to work for the federal government and there were many handicapped people in the office. It was a VA office so there were many disabled veterans. All federal buildings are built to accommodate handicapped/disabled people. One of my supervisors had 2 legs amputated at the hip and one arm amputated at the shoulder. He drove to work everyday. He was a wheelchair basketball coach. The federal government is the most accommodating as far as a workplace envirnonment. If you need a standing desk and you have a doctor's order for it, they have to accommodate your needs.
And I agree...15 miles is nothing...50 miles would be challenging but people have driven that far pre-Covid for many, many years.
I drove 50 miles to work (100 miles round trip) every day for 30 years. I came to enjoy it. It's a great time to listen to podcasts or audiobooks or do some private prayer.
Longest time commute in LA for me was 4 hours one way. A crane had fallen over across the 5, the only. north south interestate. Everyone was on Sepulveda...nightmare 😳
While we were in Valencia we had a woman turn right from the left lane. There were 3 lanes not including the right turning lane! She turned right into our vehicle. We both pulled over. The police were immediately on the scene. The woman exited her car and came to our car and began yelling. The officer sternly told her to go back to her car and then proceeded to tell us that she must not have realized that he saw the entire accident as he was sitting at the stop light where she was trying to turn right. Best witness to have for an accident is a police officer. 🤣
I drove 31 miles one way every day when working, sat in traffic making it seem longer than 31 miles, drove in snow and ice on many occasions, and did it for 40 years. These cry babies fussing about returning to the office need to shut up and show up. Enough coddling.
For a time, I was commuting 100 miles each way to work, just so I could jump in a truck and drive further to various project sites. Enjoyed that for about two days, then it became a grind.
My wife has driven ~110 mile commute for quite awhile now. But her unit is collapsing into the usual backstabbing that seems inevitable in every hospital environment, and all the people she loved working with have either left or have given their notice.
As a matter of fact, she has an appointment with her hospitals HR to file a complaint this afternoon.
She just accepted a job in Tulsa at 30% higher pay. Will be finished with the bitchy shithole by end of May.
Geez, when we lived in the far west Suburbs (Loudoun County) probably half our neighbors commuted the hour into DC. Plenty of government employees used to commute from as far West Virginia back before Covid. It was always a fact of life in the area.
Oh, and, as usual, CA is looking at forming a committee to research charging Californians .06-.09¢/mile. This is to make up for all of the EVs now populating the roads. Of course, those of us with gas guzzlers are already pulling more than our weight. Why not just charge the EV owners this? Because why miss out on an opportunity to raise taxes on everyone?
For six years after we moved to Texas I drove 90mins/miles each way to Greenville, through Dallas. Fortunately this was before rush hour am and after rush hour pm.
Again, fortunately, I retired in 2006, no way would I wish to share the road with the current breed of crazy Texan drivers - remind me of D.C. 25 years ago!
When I was in grad school, I drove 20 miles one way most days. This isn’t that far, I realize that. Some days, it was twice as my classes were spaced far enough apart that I either went home because staying on campus for 7 hours didn’t make sense or I had to work.
I’m in the DC area. There are people that used to drive 60-70 miles each way in bumper to bumper traffic, pre-COVID. I’m retired from the Air Force: 26 years, SMSgt. Most of my assignment, was at Bolling AFB, in DC. I was a musician with the US Air Force Band. I thought the traffic was bad, driving 17 miles each way. I thought the people driving 50 and 60 or more miles each way, each day, were nuts. I still do. Now they are complaining about having to drive back to the office, like they used to do without complaining.
I hear them complain about the cost of riding Metro, and then paying $5.25/day to park at the Metro station, where the garage is less than half full, yet they will use gas, which costs anywhere from $2.99/gallon to $4/gallon for premium, drive into the city dealing with the traffic, and pay $20/day to park, and walk 4 or 5 blocks, when there is a Metro stop across the street from their office.
Regarding IT workers at the IRS. Are they really working? Read recently that DOGE changed the login button on the IRS website in 70 minutes while the actual IRS IT worker said it would have taken three months.
She claims she’s working like a madwoman, but she also supports one of their legacy systems. Idk. It seems that many people working in the public sector aren’t working a full day in private sector terms. My client actually agrees with this, she said she knows multiple people who never showed up at the office or on a zoom meeting after they shut down for Covid. Five. Years.
Definitions of "working hard" or "working like a madman" vary, or so it seems. I had my own business for 33 years and sometimes I worked 20 hour days until I was literally vibrating with pure exhaustion and collapsed into bed for a couple of hours before starting everything all over again. I didn't have a choice to screw off because it was my business, my livelihood. I worked for numerous CA state agencies in the summers during the years I was in college, and I saw first hand how "hard" most of them DIDN'T work. My impression was always that the state had hired far too many people and they didn't have enough work to do.
Public agencies and non profit ‘workers’ do not ‘work hard’. Their salaries and jobs are not tied into “performance or accountability’ in any way. I know, I always worked in the ‘corporate world’ then took a job with a local nonprofit ‘community health’ operation, for a couple of years. What a joke, but was an easy job! 😉🤪
Not sure if it's still true but working for VA Office side, there were production standards (which became increasingly difficult to meet) and performance evaluations. There was also mandatory OT. So all federal jobs are not the same.
Per Jeff's comment: "The most important of the series of new orders ended use by any federal agency of the so-called “disparate impact” theory of racial discrimination, which allowed agencies to conclude there was de facto discrimination at a school or business if there were too few minorities as a statistical sample.
Imagine a donut shop that requires applicants to pass a written math test to get hired, like measuring glaze-to-dough ratios or inventory forecasts. If minority applicants disproportionately fail the test, the EEOC could prosecute the shop for the “disparate impact” claiming it is presumptive evidence of racial discrimination."
If the 'playing field' were level in the beginning, then yes, by the time College comes around, who even needs DEI?
But since the field is systematically biased/jaded/oppressive (not even close) when one considers generational socio-economic opportunities including jobs, education, living standards, racism, etc.).
Unfortunately, the predatory nature of man makes life perilous for those that are cast as 'below' them. Money of course, is a tool, but it's also a weapon when it is utilized in suppressing others.
Need proof?
Just look at the last USA's last 350 years and see if there ever existed a socio-economic/educational/opportunity/justice "level" field.
And the rest of the World can be thrown in as well.
DOGE has revealed the Dept. of Veterans Affairs was paying $380,000 per month, or $4.56 million a year, for minor website edits now being done in 10 hours a week by a SINGLE engineer.
Unsurprisingly, same story in the private sector. I know a freshly hired IT person who solved/created in one day a system change the outgoing IT person had been "working on" for more than six months. Both millennials. ...There's two kinds of people: contributors and drainers. Maybe future society sends the drainers to the distant colony (so far only a figment of imagination) on Australion --Mars colony is too close-- along with the psychopaths, sociopaths and narcissists. Seeing that in practice makes a good case for reincarnation...
Hm. Up to future society to develop an evaluation tool to pinpoint who fits certain profiles so's they don't banish valuable skills... And another to thwart wayward tendencies of them types... Ah, the expansiveness of imagination...
Orwell, Heinlein, Asimov, Bradbury, Herbert, Creighton. I'm sure there are others of which I'm ignorant. ...I thought sure we'd at least be equal to the Jetsons by this late date. Truthfully, I'm pretty sure most of the technology exists; it's just been suppressed. Once the curtain has been pulled back fully - my vote says within the next decade, but 🤷♀️ - the speed of development for and adoption by the masses will be astounding. I'd sure love to be alive to see it. Statistically, I won't, but I'm all for defying statistics.
Just spitballing - I'm no master of imagination - rest easy, there will still be air lanes, vertical and horizontal, not 100% free airspace for aircars. Like I know...😆🤣🤣
Welp, I'm not an aviation or transportation professional person type. Never have seen a drone in action. (Watch, today will be the day...) I'm sure concerns are well founded. My car sets off warning signals for objects in close range, crossing a lane marker, following a vehicle too closely, cars approaching in lanes to the side, lemme think what else... Blanking at the moment. There's a way to fly cars safely, in traffic. I have faith. Might be the AI factor? In the '50s my grandfather refused to get a television; he said he was waiting until they perfected it. I might have to adopt a wait and see on the aircar... *edit - If I live that long. 💀🪦
I am surprised it took them 70 minutes. The fact the other said it would take 3 months tells you that they are not an IT person. It is easy to change the code if you know how to code which the DOGE guys know how to do.
Yeah — they’d have to form a committee for the button and schedule meetings (which only some would attend) to decide the color, shape, and location of the button. I mean that’s three whole things (plus the committee organization and meeting debates). Of course they planned on 3 months! lol
I worked at the JFK Federal Building in Boston. There were TWO, yes TWO IRS employees who were completely blind - I reiterate the number TWO because that is proportionately a HECK OF A LOT of blind employees to the total number of IRS employees in that building, but I digress. Anyhoo, they came to work DAILY and worked a full 8 hour tour of duty. I believe the blind gentleman commuted by PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION!!!! I know this because one day one of his coworkers was unable to assist him in walking to the T station, so I helped him there. I cannot speak for them, but I'm pretty certain that it was not easy, at all, for them to commute and yet they did, and it was normal and it was natural and they did it. Truly, if anyone had an excuse to sit home and not work and collect Social Security Disability, it is a blind person and no one would fault them for it at all. Kudos to them and their work ethic!!!!! I always admired them.
My husband is waiting to see what happens to him. He was hired as a remote worker out of Philadelphia. That’s 3000 miles away. He has never had an office. They said he had to find an office within 50 miles but now due to the reductions, it is unknown whether he will have to find somewhere to commute to, or he will lose his job entirely. He absolutely hates commuting and does not look forward to adding three hours onto his workday by driving. Now it looks like if he keeps a position, we will have to move to wherever they decide that position is going to be at. Many people are saying they don’t want to move and have taken the buyout or retired early out of 24 in his section, there are eight left. he does not qualify for any of the offers so far because he hasn’t been there long enough and most of the people he works with have been there 15 to 30 years. He is a very hard worker. He does not take care of kids at home. He does not take care of an elderly mother at home. He’s very diligent. He wins lots of awards. He is his bosses right hand man, but sadly none of that’s going to matter. I am absolutely Pro clean out of the govt mess but it does hurt real people.
So very sorry for the situation you find yourself in at this time. I also understand how unnerving it can be to have to face an unnerving alternative. But there are times when these sorts of topsy-turvy situations may be a blessing in disguise. God may have another opportunity just waiting! He has promised that He will provide for our daily needs and will never leave us! Just an FYI - I too worked for the government in CA, came off maternity leave with our first child and we were all told that our jobs were moving to DC - 3,000 miles away. They was many many years ago. The rest of the story has been a blessing and gift from God! I will be praying for your situation. Please do not lose hope!
Thank you so much for your encouragement. I do trust Gods provision. Unfortunately this is the 3rd time we have been through this in 9 years 😅 the word “we’re reorganizing” is 😖 but this job was a huge Blessing over his last job he was sorry to loose. Can’t wait to see what God will do next, trying not to be too concerned. ☺️
That's the spirit! Surrender yourself to Jesus and let Him take care of everything. This situation is out of your control so worrying about it only makes the uncertainty worse. I will pray for you and your husband that God holds you both in His loving arms and protects you and gives you His blessings.
Is his job coded to be a remote job? It makes a difference. I believe it’s in the job description whether it is an office job or a remote job. Some specialized jobs are remote or if it is a hard to fill job that needs particular job skill, it will state in the job description. When COVID hit and everyone went home and started teleworking, those jobs are not coded to telework. It is very easy for HR to know who should be in the office.
Yes he was hired as a remote worker. He is 3,000 miles away from his “work”. They aren’t differentiating right now. I keep thinking at some point they will but haven’t yet. Most of his co-workers live all across the country as remote workers and some used to “go to the office”
I totally am clean up the government but also realize some of the good ones will get hit. When this happens I hope that they are picked up quickly. I also know good ones do not stay unemployed long
That has been an issue in the economy pretty much since the great recession. I have a friend who's an economist and does the speaker circuit mostly in the Midwest, does a lot of work with the Fabricators and Manufacturers Assn. Small town manufacturers would tell him stories of openings that sat unfilled for months on end, there were not enough people with the requisite skills, but people were upside down in their homes and so couldn't afford to move there. And it's a risky move - towns where there are only a handful of employers, when one goes sideways, the options are limited to those who want to stay. My brother in law is a metallurgical engineer - every time he gets laid off, he & my sister have had to move as those jobs are not plentiful in any one locale. Sorry you are going through this - current issue seems to be a lot of displacement as change happens quickly - both in the private sector and in government.
You may find that the Midwest is where sanity is found! People can speak out at school board meetings without being escorted out by police or censored. Our voices can make a difference. And we know our county sheriff!
This happens in the private sector, too. My husband works for a large, well-known company that acquired the smaller company that he was previously working for. This larger company has decided to reduce their workforce by 20%. They are making everyone reapply for their jobs and will likely close the small office in our city. My husband will have to apply for a new job within the company, and if he gets it, we will be moving. If he doesn’t get it, he will have to find another job.
I kind of like the reapplying, but federal is more concerned with time in service. Which my husband is the lowest years 😬 but moving is a big deal, many are saying they are not going to move, we are open to moving just maybe not to where the job is 😅😅😅 Best wishes to you for the Best outcome for you too! 🙏🏻
My dad worked for IBM when I was a kid. To move up the ladder he had to be willing to go where the next promotion was. I attended 13 different schools in 11 years. By high school I took the GED and moved out on my own. My Dad was very successful and in our own way, the rest of us were all a part of that by being supportive of him and going along for the ride. Sacrifices were made by all of us for all of us. We had a good life and learned a lot about personal choices and when it came to careers what was tolerable and what was not.
The unknown can be hard. When I was laid off in 2020 because of the government shutdowns, it was hard to be positive. Now, 5 years later, I can see that things have worked out for the best. And that put me on a path to discover Coffee & Covid in 2021, which I have read diligently every day since then!
Problem is, if they took it slow, there would be time to put up roadblocks, and many of the DOGE people are on leave of absence from their lives and won't do this forever. But agree the outcome may be 2 steps forward and then a step back.
Absolutely we are not alone. I know there are many real people loosing their jobs. I was just telling my story. I worry more about those with young families than I do about us.
Susan Seas, I just went to prayer for your husband. Yeshua (Jesus) is our Advocate (our Attorney), continually interceding to the Father for His children. My prayer is that your husband will find favor, both with God and man. That his dedication, his diligence be noted.
“May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His Face to shine upon you and be gracious to you. May the Lord turn His Face toward you and give you peace.”
No one likes commuting. No one. Why do you think the term “cushy government job” became a thing? Your husband may “work hard” in the comfort of your home but I guarantee you, it’s not as hard as the averse person employed in the private sector. Looks like your husband may become a pleb like us common folk.
Excuse me!?! You absolutely know nothing of anything really. My husband served 30 years in the Military. Don’t assume he has had a “cushy govt job” his whole life! 10% are able to serve their Country. 1% do! So stick that up your tail pipe! Sorry you haven’t risen above a sucky job!
Aaand you know nothing as well. I’m a trad-wife (so no sucky job) My father and a son served. Same son is now a LEO. Does that mean my 2% cancels your 1%? My husband quit a very lucrative job and we moved out of state because he refused to get the jab. We all have hard times, Sweetheart, and sometimes need to make difficult choices. But keep whining, it suits you.
I'm sorry that it's hitting you. I have hit many bumps in life and now, looking back, the most difficult ones ultimately led to the best outcomes. Weathering the journey wasn't easy, but the end point was beyond anything I could have ever expected. Use the change, if you can, as an opportunity. I know, easier said than done. Best wishes!
Well put, thank you and prayers for your family during this difficult time. I can relate as I am in a similar boat to your husband and 💯 agree with your sentiment.
just guessing here, but often people know of ONE anecdotal point of info and conflate that into the rule or policy or general. Did this woman hear of one or 10 disabled folks being forced to come in to work? Not knowable of course, but. . . just saying.
Besides, it is likely each case will be looked at individually and some will be allowed to continue working at home.
Some individual cases are indeed being looked at individually, and I know the son of a friend in a government job has gotten a medical reprieve and can continue working from home. This happened recently, within the last month.
So far they are not looking at individual cases. Just like those who started working from home during CoVid are not being distinguished from those hired as Remote Workers. Hoping some common sense will prevail but not so far.
I agree, she probably knew a couple of people and the rumor mill is making it into a bunch. But yes, I expect that people with legitimate accommodation will still have them after review. Unless they panic and take the package.
With sincere apologies to the truly disabled, be it physical or mental, it infuriates me that there are so many “disabled” who can manage to do anything in life except work for a living. At the same time, a friend deathly ill from chemo (preC) couldn’t even qualify for temporary assistance.
Interesting info, Valerie! I'm surprised that physically challenged IRS employees are crying the blues about returning to "in office" status as the American With Disabilities Acts in the 1990's (signed into law by the "elder Bush" POTUS) required that ALL employers install ramps and automatic doors to make it possible and easier for people in wheelchairs and with physical challenges to use the public/employers' buildings. That law was a BIG DEAL for people with all kinds of physical challenges and one of my 'heroes' of the Christian faith - JONI EARECKSON TADA - was instrumental in getting this bill passed into law. Her ministry that she started over 40 years ago to lift up those (who like she herself knows all too well since her body was ravaged by spinal cord injury at the age of 16) people with physical challenges of all natures! Joni is still involved as an activist in another deeply concerning area of our "ungodly culture" - the "right to die" movement. It's catching on fast, folks - where the "state" will determine if you're "fodder" and they will step in and "pull the cord" on people who have debilitating conditions or are just "old and useless". Shades of the movie "Soylent Green" from the 1970's.
It was a great thing, applied ridiculously. Like in my power plant, huge power plant, that when we built our new control room, had to accommodate every type of malady ever thought of. The irony was, no one with disabilities could work in the place, couldn’t even get to the control room without climbing over railroad tracks, going through some of the most dangerous places on earth, BUT, we were required to accommodate. Fucking ridiculous.
Your company's compliance was required because it was a Federal law - but many otherwise unemployable people WERE given the opportunity to hold down decent-paying jobs that they otherwise would have been denied. I understand your viewpoint though, Alan.
My viewpoint was that the federal government is mindless. We tried to get them to figure it out, and drop the requirements that increased costs by tens of thousands of dollars. They even came out to look at the site. It was comical, seeing women in high heels crossing train tracks in the coal shed. But they came, and said, no, this room has to accommodate wheelchairs. Alrighty then.
I get it, Alan - truly! But the upside is what the Americans with Disability Act DID do in a positive way for many physically challenged people who wanted to enter the workforce and couldn't because of all of the obstacles in their way. Such as architectural and ingress/egress obstacles!
I also have an asylum officer and an FBI agent as clients. Asylum guy is coming in tomorrow, I’ll find out what their status is because they all have been remote for years. He’s assuming they’ll be put into existing federal buildings.
I had a cousin who was a ‘developmentally disabled” male (cerebral palsy) who worked as a ‘clerk’ for HUD for almost 35 plus years, out in Commifornia, in Sacramento and San Francisco. He had his DL as a young adult, but then gave it up and used public transportation to ‘commute’ to work for many years. He was a single guy, so he wanted to go into work. That was his social connection to the world. He didn’t have a computer at home and would have never wanted to work at home alone. He retired in December of 2022, on his 70th birthday. In January 2023, he was found dead in his apartment. Dead long enough that the coroner couldn’t pull any fingerprints to identify him, as there was little to no moisture in his fingertips. A family member had to identify his body.
Yes, he did get The Jabs for his job with the Federal Government.
Yes it was. And he was the only child of my Aunt, my Mom’s older sister. Several other members of my Aunt’s family (cousins) and her caregiver’s husband and niece have also “died suddenly” as well. They were all ‘jabbed up”, ranging in age from 77, 71, 57 & 34.
I know the area, but not well. I drove my son 12 miles each way straight down spring cypress to trinity lutheran for 5 years. On a good day it took 50 min round trip.
We had a school staff member at the school board meeting the other night complain that we didn’t understand hard work. I mean, she had to answer 9 calls in one hour and sign in 10 parents. (Oh, no!) 🙄
But you, beloved, ought to remember the words that were spoken beforehand by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ, that they were saying to you, “In the last time there will be mockers, following after their own ungodly lusts.” These are the ones who cause divisions, worldly-minded, devoid of the Spirit. But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.
Keep it coming Janice. Jeff does a great job of informing us of the latest cultural and political battles to which we can direct our prayers and you are being used of God to focus us on the only thing we can really depend on when all is said and done: Christ! "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone who believeth.." Romans 1:16
I tend to avoid saying we're in the last times because "only the Father knows". But I can't disagree with you...all the elements are coming together like no other time in history.
What’s going on today in the Holy Land has not materialized out of nowhere. There are thousands of years of history surrounding this, and there’s an interesting piece of history that everyone seems to forget.
Around 3500 years ago, YHWH did command Joshua to kill and burn all the tribal inhabitants and their livestock and belongings in various areas of Canaan. And the reason was that all those tribes were descended from literal giants (Goliath, Og of Bashan, et al). They had been infected with Nephilim (fallen angel) DNA.
One of the tribes and areas that Joshua failed to eradicate were the Philistines in Gaza. The name “Palestine” is believed to derive from the name “Philistine,” one of the original giant tribes. So, it appears that YHWH was using Joshua’s conquest of Canaan to protect the bloodline of his chosen people, the Israelites. And the Israelites were not all Jewish, they were a “mixed multitude” of people who came out of Egypt. The tribe of Judah was only one of 12 tribes that included millions of people.
By the time Jesus arrived on the scene, 10 of the tribes, known as Israel and located above Jericho, had vanished in the northern diaspora, while the southern tribes of Judah and Benjamin remained in Judea, south of Jericho and adjacent to Gaza. This is why Jesus says he “was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel” in Matthew 15:24. They had disappeared into other lands and cultures.
There are other clues in the Bible that indicate that the appearance of Jesus was intended to only benefit a specific group of people. When the angels on the night of Jesus’ birth appeared to the shepherds, the complete quote of what the angels said was, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men ON WHOM HIS FAVOR RESTS!” Other translations say, “in whom God is pleased.“
As revealed by the conquests in Canaan, YHWH‘s favor rests on some, but not others. The question is, who are those on whom God’s favor rests? And I think you have to look very carefully at what Jesus actually taught to figure that out. What Jesus taught was obedience to the moral imperatives of the written Mosaic Law.
Very few people today obey the written Mosaic law. Most Jews do not. They obey the Talmud, which the rabbis claim supersedes the written law of Moses. Christians also don’t obey the written Mosaic law. The entire population of western civilization has cherry picked portions of the Mosaic law that they wish to obey, basically some of the 10 Commandments, but there’s a lot more to the moral imperatives in the Torah than that.
So, all I’m saying is that I don’t think you can understand what’s happening in Israel and Gaza today without being familiar with the history of that region. I don’t know who’s right, but I agree that terrorism from either side is unacceptable. In my opinion, there is a demonic stronghold in the land of Gaza.
But at the same time, the Israel of today is not the Israel of 2000 years ago. As long as the Jewish people refuse to accept Jesus as their spiritual Messiah and return to the moral imperatives of the Torah, there will never be peace there. Yeshua (Jesus’ real name in Hebrew), literally means “salvation,” even in the modern Hebrew language. The answer is staring them in the face and has been for 2000 years, but they are still blind to Him.
There’s no reason to delve into ancient history. Perhaps a bit interesting but not very relevant. The Israeli Government, invoking their religion (in spite of most of them being atheists or secularists) claim they are commanded not to kill, but they are doing it to their neighbors who have lived there for 1300 years with impunity. We all know that the relative newcomers who now occupy the land known as modern day Israel are not Semites. Mostly from Poland, Russia, Germany, etc. They have no claim on this land, contrary to what the Evangelical preachers like Hagee, et al, and their bogus Schofield Bible want to claim. Christians and Jews who use the Bible to justify the slaughter of innocents are deeply disturbed people. I’ll have no part of it.
Honestly, it’s not even a religious issue. It’s a moral issue.
I think Sheickh Yusuf Qaradawi would have disagreed with you. Qaradawi, who passed away in 2022, was the religious leader of the Hamas movement. He wrote much about this conflict, but the crux of his argument is that the current battle between Islam and Judaism has its roots in the historical relationship between Hagar and Sarah, and their sons Ishmael and Isaac. This is a story that goes back over 4,000 years, so obviously to Hamas, the Palestinians, and the Jews, ancient history is foundational to understanding the current conflict.
Thank you for this comment, an accurate history lesson. So many 'christians' have no idea what the Holy Bible actually teaches and they are held under a great deception.
History, schmistory (as they used to say, about 20 years ago, which now sounds quite Yiddish, interestingly).
WWJD?
History lessons can be fun (and I say that as some of the degree in history) but at the end of the day, are you on the side of love, truth and light, or deadly destruction? Pick a side.
Mike huckabee, who claims to be a Christian, has nothing to say about the genocide in Gaza.
Why does he claim to be Christian? Why does he not just convert to Judaism?
SD tried and failed to pass a law that would have made librarians subject to the same laws regarding the distribution of pornography to minors that everyone else is subject to.
I am still not understanding why our schools have materials that clearly violate laws against exposing minors to pornography. Basically the lawyers are hanging their hat on some pretty mealy mouthed language around educational value, and any efforts in our local SB's get dog piled on by hordes of screaming lunatics yelling about book banning. One of my friends attempted to read from one of the books and the lefty SB president had the police escort him out due to a violation of board policy against obscene language. And yet the book with the same language is in the school libraries. Common sense and decency are MIA.
I will retire next year and will begin homeschooling our youngest granddaughter who is 11. I am thankful that this evil in the schools has been exposed.
Definitely Home Education. That's what it's for. Not repeating school at home. Here in England there are very strong feelings on this point and I'd love to see this taken up in the US.
Is home schooling allowed in England? There 3 of my grandchildren live. Before I began home-schooling our youngest--which I did for only one year (8th grade) 2001-02, I had investigated the rules in various European countries.
I think homeschooling can be exciting! Look at all the web resources available! Through in some great books, time outdoors and time looking within. What a wonderful opportunity!
I live in eastern Oregon and, needless to say, our school isn’t woke… but we do have a tampon machine in the boy’s bathroom (empty), some content I would call questionable, and a few radical leftist parents who insist on a litter box in the restrooms. (!)
I’m done with all of it. It’s insanity and mental illness sugar-coated as a “compromise“ for school funding and the few kids who are really messed up. I don’t know how to fix this when our state leaders are incompetent and mentally ill.
I think we have been played by being kind and moral. Because of a hijacked voting system, the nuts (and turtles) are in charge. We can’t teach basic English (or any language) without qualifiers on pronouns! History and science flew out the window a long time ago, right after cursive writing. And basic math is too hard to grasp. Do we even need schools?
What leftists paint as“centuries of institutional racism and lack of opportunities” is really our good versus evil world. 🌎 We aren’t doing kids any favors by not teaching them how the world really works. Ethics, morality, critical thinking, and God are missing. That said, we are finally moving in the right direction (Trump!) despite the crazies.
Our compromised Supreme Court is a conundrum for me… are they that sick and twisted? Too many videos of them with small children?
Right??? But it’s empty ;) Even out where we live, people aren’t really standing up - they think it’s funny because they "followed the law" but skirted it. Like that’s standing up? They accuse those of us who oppose having the tampon dispenser as being radicals, while they are reasonable and doing what they "need to" to get school funding. So yes, I think you are right Marci.
Very eloquently put. Thank you. The coddled kids became angry and frustrated after entering the working world and they didn't get a corner office and a raise after a couple of months. Years of ribbons for everyone at competitions and presents for everyone at birthday parties made all of them feel they were always special just for showing up. Heck of a shock when the day comes when they aren't.
Being in a conservative part of the state, I am thinking you can control your school board and thus your schools. Although there are those pesky State mandates. I live in SW Oregon, and love Eastern Oregon in the spring! It looks so totally different with all the water.
I wish… they bend too easily, I think. Trying to accommodate the weirdos and walking a fine line between state mandates and punishments. But you’re right! The lupin and balsam are exploding this spring - it’s beautiful. And so is the coast… all the rhododendron and azaleas are blooming. We have to take this state back.
It's always the money! AZ's largest school district, Mesa Public Schools, is woke and a joke. 32% can pass math proficiency tests, 35% can pass reading proficiency tests. Mesa, BTW, has always been a conservative, LDS city. Only with woke administrators has it deteriorated to something verging on California-esque. SMH...
I get that 100%. I've lived here my entire life and I would like nothing more than to see the kingdom of Maricopa broken up in to 4-6 counties. East Mesa & Gilbert are still conservative strongholds but Phoenix is scary blue!
Its because, when you scratch the surface, these schools, like during covid, are receiving or used to receive, huge federal grants & private $. Higher Ed is even worse. Penn State, for example, is getting very large amounts of private funding from Mellon Foundation to run their DEI programs which are all over their website. Mellon - Aluminum, polluting local rivers with fluoride waste? Huge grants got fluoride started & into the water systems. So even if\when their fed $ stop, they have a backup.
I live here in WA. They are currently passing laws every week that destroy our freedom. The taxes alone will cripple any of us not making $100,000 a year.
no wonder why Harvard and Stanford need remedial math classes for its freshmen - back to RRR for all schools (the way it used to be) and leave the social engineering to parents
Here in England a friend hasa child in secondary school. The math homework is set by AI. This system gives frequent wrong answers. For example to calculation of area and volume.
Those errors can only get there by being deliberately included in the software.
Harvard has long been involved in biological weapons development, as well as others of their ilk. Its those programs using gain of function in biological safety labs BSL-4s that must be shuttered. And gain of function is not limited to human use, the veterinarian schools produce research on Gain of function shots for animals
Washington State over the past few years under Enslee has bankrupted itself with goodies and hand outs . Without a state income tax they have two choices... Close down these unaffordable programs and cut spending OR tax the crap out of EVERYTHING else which it appears they are trying to do. The list of proposed "transportation" taxes alone is astounding. Sales taxes are proposed to go up from the already high 9.5%.
Being Dems and always screaming about the rich paying their fair share, perhaps instead of taxing the middle class and poor out of their existence, MAYBE the West side millionaires and billionaires should pony up. The East side is dying on the vine.
These corrupt communist dems running the state need to go. WA voters are pretty passive, liberal & uninformed. Put that together with a corrupt voting system & this is what you get - one party ruin. Maybe we’ll get some federal help as the Trump administration cracks down in woke, sanctuary states.
Our sales tax rate here in our part of King County, WA is already 10.1%. Our property taxes are over one-third of our mortgage. I don't know how much longer we can hang on with the way taxes keep increasing.
"For their part, two of the liberal Justices wondered what the big deal was about making kids learn about legal alternative lifestyles, and fretted over creating ‘chaos’ by letting parents decide what materials their children can and can’t be exposed to."
This is precisely why the whole indoctrination system (school system) needs to be dismantled piece by piece. The whole darn thing.
None of it should stay. It is either that, or those of us that pay our property taxes need to stop paying them. And let's see if the 'King' will foreclose on everyone's homes property {I say the King, because the King (the 'government') still owns your property if you have to pay rent every year (property taxes)}. And then who will they loot from? Eff them. Who is John Galt?
Those two justices asking what’s the big deal “…about making kids learn about legal alternative lifestyles, and fretted over creating ‘chaos’ by letting parents decide what materials their children can and can’t be exposed to."
Well OK, then let’s teach the Bible again. That’s a legal alternative lifestyle too. Why should nonChristians create chaos by deciding what their kids can and can’t be exposed to??
But I can hear the fake screams and gnashing of teeth: "BUT WHAT ABOUT SEPERATION OF CHURCH AND STATE!!!".
And to that I will say that such a thing does not exist. Read the 1st Amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;..." For those intellectually challenged leftists, that do not know what that means, it means that Congress cannot make a "Church of England" style state religion by law.
I would also say, "Freedom OF religion, not Freedom FROM religion." Not to mention, we are a Christian nation founded on Judeo-Christian principles (old & new Testaments), where all religions are free to practice their faith, *BECAUSE we are a Christian nation.
*edit* addition of WHY they are free to practice their different faiths.
Exactly, but if we dig further into their separation of church and state argument it’s that they don’t believe the state should adopt and teach ANY one particular belief. And Trans and gender ideologies ARE a belief, not backed by science but backed by faith in its claims.
That “legal” qualifier caught my attention too as very weak logic. The Ten Commandments are “legal”, for example, yet were removed from public schools.
“Legal” always comes with strings attached. It’s not legal to give children alcohol even though it’s legal for adults. It’s not legal for children to engage in sex or be exposed to porn even if it’s legal for adults.
So yea, they should dive into this faulty argument that “legal” means force-feed it to kids without parental consent.
The curriculum is abysmal & hasnt been changed in yrs except for this lgbtq stuff
Look at the latest average highest IQ study released., China 1 , Iran 4 Russia 6, US 30 (rankingroyals.com). IQ is not only genetics but also environment & what you learn, how to think creatively etc
It is all captured. I call it the "Educational Industrial Complex", and like all bureaucratic institutions, it is only designed to perpetuate itself, and in this case to not serve and help educate students so they can be productive members of society (math, reading, writing, real science, critical thinking, classical literature, real history, constitution, civics, etc.).
I think if we follow the money, we will see why things haven't improved... dismantle it all.
Why aren’t the lawyers and judges arguing the obvious: in the past they ruled we could not teach the Bible to kids in school because it infringed on their families’ religious freedoms and was considered indoctrination. These trans and gender books and lessons are teaching a belief system that we don’t share. How is that any different? Why aren’t they making this obvious point?
Great point, Juju. Tranny cult religion as well as their climate change cult religion. Same with their "Covid" cult with their jab and obedience mask wearing as their sacraments and the patron saint of Wuhan, lord Fraudci.
Everything these Marxists/globalists introduce/push is cult like.
Because they are serving the evil one, they cannot, will not, or even want to see the obvious. They don't want to let facts that are clear as day get in the way of their emotional arguments. To them, 2+2 does equal 5 and they believe it.
First and foremost, state (public) schools are indoctrination centers. That is their primary function. As for the skills of reading, writing and arithmetic necessary for life, the schools literally cannot even accomplish that! But that's not the controversy. The controversy is over the indoctrination. Why aren't the parents upset about the academic standards??? Because if they recognized the problem, they would have to do something about it and they can't give up the "free" schooling. Bottom line, the problem is the lazy parents!
THIS is the point I have been trying to make for the last 5 years. Some small % of parents woke up during covid and have pulled their kids. All of our area private schools have waitlists and homeschool co-ops are proliferating. But for those that remain, they prefer to shoot the messenger. Candidates for SB who run on a reform platform getting beaten down (and lose elections) by too many parents who deride them for "tearing down our excellent schools" or "disrespecting teachers" . They show up to meetings wearing I love my public school t-shirts. I stay in the fight despite ours being grown as I hate to see these people taking over our community, but it's an uphill battle on a good day.
Somehow, we have to attack this beast (government run schools, aka the 'public school system') through the funding mechanism. Funding is primarily through property taxes in most locals. Easier said than done, because what you point out Donna. I am open to suggestions. Many people refuse to see what Phil rightly points out, or if they do see it, they don't want to rock the boat or don't think there is anything that can be done. They are also too busy making a living trying to feed their family and pay their confiscatory property taxes...
I don't think "fixing" public schooling is possible. It's going to be up to each individual family to decide to submit their children to state indoctrination or to opt for private education or home school education.
I 100% agree. I do believe the best (and most likely way to succeed) way to attack it is through the funding angle. The bureaucracy of the education industrial complex is designed to perpetuate itself and indoctrinate all that are in it.
Individual funding needs to follow each child, not just "vouchers" and bureaucratic approval processes to grant someone home school or private school access. If parents would get that per pupil funding allotment out of the local district funding (because they are no longer needing it because child xyz is being home educated), then true competition and choice to the parents will be available to all parents. For that reason, the Democrat teachers' unions and administrators are so adamantly against it. It would also help blunt their election money laundering union tool usage.
Parents shouldn’t just be able to opt out… those materials should be banned from public schools. They are promoting social transition in minors, which is confusing and evil. It serves no educational purpose.
Agreed, and short of the materials being banned (and we should accept nothing less, but until then), parents should have to opt in if they want their kids to get robbed of their identities, violated, and maimed for life, both physically and emotionally.
I live in the area of this school district and my local news has been talking about for a while. What Jeff didn't mention is that the district initially had an option to opt out but took it away because too many students were opting out and it "wasn't feasible" to give that many students alternate assignments. You just can't make this stuff up.
Russia is overflowing with natural resources many of which remain untouched. Any wonder Europe and its lizard leaders are circling the bear. Putin is a man for this time, as is Trump. May the Lord keep them safe.
NATO has heightened its alert level, placing fighter jets in the “highest state of readiness” in response to Russia’s aggressive strikes in Western Ukraine. The Armed Forces Operational Command confirmed that allied air forces have commenced patrols over Polish airspace near the Ukrainian border. Zelensky’s refusal to accept any peace deal demonstrates he is taking orders from NATO and the American Neocons, who, my sources say, are operating now out of Paris and London to ensure this war does not end. President Donald Trump on Wednesday lashed out at Ukraine’s president, saying Zelenskyy is prolonging the “killing field” after pushing back on ceding Crimea to Russia as part of a potential peace plan....

INVASION SITREP — two Human Trafficking Popes Meet
As of 23 April 2025, there is zero indication invasions are ending. All compass needles point to temporary operational reductions.
Related: here in Panama, I see zero indication the United States is making any impacts on Chinese encroachment.
Any serious attack on our attackers would launch by immediately defunding United Nations…not DEFENDING United Nations. United Nations is still fully functional and funded. United States is openly defending and nurturing United Nations.
Just one hour ago, Amy Pope continues her global tour. Pope is head of UN-IOM: The main invasion engine...
At the current pace of 1,500 deportations a day, we are looking at removing 50,000,000 illegal aliens in, wait for it, 100 YEARS!
The media is now being forced to cover the daily murders, rapes and assaults of Americans at the evil hands of the criminal illegal aliens.
And both parties are halting and obstructing every single deportation. The Democrats are actually flying to El Salvador demanding the return of a MS-13 gang banger! The Republicans will not fund the deportations leaving ICE and Border Patrol underfunded and lacking personnel.
Hidden in this whirlwind of lies and propaganda is the threat of criminals, terrorists and foreign military soldiers inside of our walls.
The Chinese PLA is here in America at the tune of 100,000 soldiers. I did not mistakenly add an extra zero. That number is correct. Just for the kicks of it let’s say I accidently added that extra zero - are you ok with 10,000 PLA soldiers inside America?...
NATO ceased to have a reason for existence when the USSR fell. Thus NATO and the NeoCons perpetuate the fear of the Soviet Union communists and constantly push the line that Putin intends to rebuild the Soviet Empire to justify their existence. They are looking for any excuse to launch a war with Russia and insist we can survive a nuclear war.
China knows that if they were to succeed in conquering Russia that they would be next in NATO's sights. China will fully back Russia in a war with NATO. These NeoCons are rabid megalomaniacs. They are clearly insane, evil people who have no care for humanity. If they draw us into such a war, expect the worst. Smart money and smart people are already fleeing Europe for the US and South America. If NATO pushes it, Russia will reduce Europe to radioactive dust out of self-preservation. The Russians are fighting for the very survival of their families.
We started it. Well, the deep state started it. Why do you think trump keeps saying it never would have happened if he were president. He was going after the deep state, those that started it. Started over hiding evidence of their criminal behavior.
No, you fucking idiot, we built chemical weapons factories all over Ukraine, when we installed our pick for president in 2014, under obeyme. Most along Russias border. Then we built cia complexes on Russias border, the whole thing. Then trump was going to prosecute those in the the obeyme administration, give Ukraine back to Ukrainians, and with Putin’s help, destroy all that our deepstate did. Then you assholes stole the election, installed your retard, and started a war. Pretty fucking stupid if you ask me, and pretty fucking stupid for you to be so disingenuous.
That was an election? No dimwit, that was another installation. WTF is wrong with you? Have a problem taking responsibility for what’s been done to Ukraine with 12 years of democrat meddling, and another 8 of neocon meddling. WTF do you think we do over there? Try to open your eyes, maybe your brain a little. You won’t be able to watch MSNBC and learn this.
> That was an election? No dimwit, that was another installation.
No, that was an election.
Sound like your problem is that you suffer from the leftist version of American Exceptionalism, the belief that no one outside the US has any agency. Therefore anything that happens outside the US must be due to US meddling.
Years ago I was responsible for hiring new pilots at a major airline. We wanted to change our interview process to include flying a simulator (can you fly?), a written test on basic aeronautical knowledge (do you know the science and rules?), a scenario-based simulation (can you work as a team and make decisions under stress?) and a personnel interview (do you fit our culture and will you do the job like we need it done?). Due to disparate impact rules from the EEOC and FAA, we had to implement the new process and use it for a year but during that year any of the changes to the old process could not be used to make a hiring decision. But we did have to document whether a failure of a candidate during any of the new process steps would have eliminated that candidate IF THE NEW INTERVIEW PROCESSES REALLY COUNTED. All of these was to determine disparate impact. Everyone in legal and HR lived in fear of this outcome.
Disparate impact for airlines was determined by the number of “people of color” or “women” (back when we knew the definition of a “woman”) who held an Airline Transport Rating (the prerequisite license for a wanna be airline pilot). If 7% (I chose that number out of thin air - don’t remember the actual %, but 7% is in the ballpark) of all ATPs were persons of color, then if 7% of the pilots’ seniority list at an airline were not POC, voila, that airline was discriminatory in their hiring practices.
The first airline to fail this test was United. So the Feds took control of their hiring process and had the final say on who they could and couldn’t hire. As a result, there was a feeding frenzy to recruit minorities and women by all other airlines. There just weren’t enough of them with an ATP to provide every airline with a seniority list that was 7% POC or female. Not every person with an ATP wants to be an airline pilot or is qualified to be an airline pilot. So if a POC candidate submitted an application, they went to the top of the list for an interview and a “recruitment” process began, rather than a “screening” process. No one wanted the Feds to functionally control their hiring process. You can see what sort of hiring decisions “recruitment” vs “screening for competence” led to. I could write a book on the craziness that ensued. As I’ve seen the effect of it, I’m very pleased to see disparate impact eliminated.
I wouldn't have a problem with that if the only people the 7% could fly as passengers were people who support such flawed testing. Of course, they shouldn't be allowed to fly over my house either ... . 😎 🧑🏽✈️ ✈️ 🏘️ 🤠
Its funny you say that… my house sits underneath the major eastern departure path from the airport I flew out of. About our poor hiring decisions, I found myself saying many times, “I sure don’t want that person flying over my family’s home!”
I'm having trouble seeing where Jeff is critical of Putin for demanding Ukraine turn over large parts of the country that Russia has no presence in otherwise the war continues?
And they rejected a peace deal very early on. The deep state had a vested interest in the bioweapons labs and the human trafficking, and thought they could keep Putin from shutting them down.
NPR said Red State MAGA Nut Voters should LOVE the WAR as industry booms for them and the Dominoes of E. Europe would be spared from falling! SO i listen to what the Pro-War Fks in DeepState Media tell me to believe... and then remorselessly and resoundingly REJECT it.
2014 was the Nazi coup that overthrew the Democracy in Ukraine, then threatened Russian border, bombing the Russian people in the Donbass outlawing their religion and language. Russians played a waiting game as NATO threatened its borders and made a peace deal with Zelensky which Britain tore up.
A coup means the military turned on yanuckovych, that didn’t happen. He fled when the rada impeached him and hewent to Moscow with a ton of money that was never found.
Russia wasn’t threatened.
The “Russian people” in eastern Ukraine were Russian soldiers. Igor girkin was the FSB guy who orchestrated it.
There was never any peace deal.
Remember, Putin loves the Covid vaccine so be sure to get it. He’s gotten multiple shots and says it’s the best ever.
The FSB put out a calendar where the us was being bombed and it was in Syria that Putin’s private army attacked American soldiers leading to the deaths of hundreds of Russians.
Did everyone see this study suggesting that getting two clot shots reduces life expectancy by 37%? Those who survive the first two to get 3+ clot shots have life expectancy reduced by 17%
We have a cat that is so difficult around most people she hasn’t been to the vet for shots in at least 15 years. We had to take her last week for an infected paw. She is 23 and the young vet (25) says she the oldest cat she ever seen!! Thankfully they didn’t suggest any vaccines.
Recently, I know of five animals who have gotten tumors at injection sites. Several of them have died and they shave been told that’s common to get a tumor where they get injections. HELLO!! Also I’ve heard that they do not base them on weight 100 pound dog gets the same amount as a 15 pound dog.
kitties especially, vaccine site sarcomas usually by the neck. Find a holistic/integrative/functional vet-they are just wonderful and avoid big harma as much as possible. They practice totally different than allopathic vet med. Here is a website to find holistic vet: https://www.ahvma.org/find-a-holistic-veterinarian/#!directory/map/ord=lnm or you can google holistic vets in your area. Once you experience this kind of medicine, you won't go back to your GP allopathic vet.
Sadly, I tried that source for 2 different areas in the US. Both had holistic vets identified, but I found they could not be located anymore or closed shop.
They can have many adverse events along with products like topical flea and tick preventatives; you just don't hear about it. Vaccinosis is the definition. Rabies only one required by law. Get Rabies titer instead. I was vaccinated for Rabies in 2004 and still holding an adequate blood titer to this day.
Indeed they do! If one stops bombarding them with all the poisons and feeds real food they are so much healthier and less expensive over the long term.
Did you notice life expectancy of our animals are almost cut in half in my lifetime…..!….I say that because my Australian friends animals live to almost 20, and they don’t get pumped with shots..Might also say if you spray your house for bugs that too shortens any animal living in the house….
avoid flea products topical or oral as they can cause neuro effects. Karen Becker and Vital Animal have ways for flea/tick prevention without exposing pets to these awful insecticides. the bagged food is terrible as well. fresh food is the best like Farmer's Dog or making your own like using balanceit.com
actually not always. There are many vets (mostly holistic ones) that are calling for less jab exposure but, you know how that goes. Too many vets are blue pilled listening to the narratives of the AVMA and follow algorithms. There is a loss of common sense and they do not know how to think outside the box. This is why I recommend holistic vets, totally different than what we are used to getting. An article that was posted on the AVMA daily blog that blamed rural Americans and Republicans for vaccine hesitancy in relation to the Avian Influenza so called crisis and the AVMA is blaming Trump for loss of vet jobs at the FDA/CDC etc. So you can see how left they are and they are all for One Health as well.
Unless yr animal has some serious injury I would try taking care of my dog myself as I learned to do but it takes time &; you have to learn to trust yrself.
Not all vets thank goodness. The holistic vets are on a whole different wave length and provide non invasive modalities such as acupuncture, laser therapy, flower essenses/essential oils, chiropractic, nutrition recipes and the list goes on. This is why I advocate for holistic vets and get away from allopathic. What the public does not realize is that most vets now work on commission which is just a horrible business model in my opinion.
My cocker never got fleas. She had no shots & no allergies. I never fed her that expensuve “dog food” which is loaded with toxins. If you stop now using those toxic products -its never too late. I learned that when arthritis meds, shots & toxic waste dog food lamed my first cocker.
I have cats and they've all had a rabies shot. They'll never have any more. I follow a holistic vet now, who says giving rabies shots every couple of years is unnecessary. He also talked about seeing a lot of vaccine injured animals in his practice.
Kathleen, have you been able to get in touch with Col (Secretary) Collins? I don't have 'social media', otherwise I would try to get the info to him via that route. Perhaps Tucker or better yet Carl Higbie (Navy Seal that I believe uses the VA) from Newsmax (on at the 5pm slot). I know he would take up the issue. Also, I also think that Rob Schmitt, Rob Finnerty, or Greg Kelly (all patriots) would take up the cause.
Excellent. He is not jabbed either which he mentioned it again last night. Also, he is fighting NY/NYC (lawsuit) to get his concealed carry license (or should I say permission slip) for NY/NYC as a CT citizen.
RFK is too busy getting rid of food dyes that have been used forever... not a bad idea... but compared to the Covid death-jabs, proven killers... still on the infant jab schedule?!?!?
And how about revoking the illegally applied liability shields for Big Pharma, so that the millions of vax-injured can obtain some justice/compensation?
Back burner? Or more likely... completely off the table!
Yes well to many, lifelong autoimmune disease and other chronic problems are great as long as measles, mumps, whooping cough and polio can be kept away
I know ppl who have survived whooping cough, measels, and polio is not a defined disease much like Covid. See a 'not' mainstream history. I'm afraid you are still sold to pharma.
I did some quick research about rabies in Maryland, where I live, and found that in 2024 there were 204 cases in my state, mostly raccoons or skunks and most cases were in Frederick County, which is in the west of the state. Frederick County is in the mountains and very rural, also. The chart I found said no dogs had tested positive for rabies in 2024 in the entire state. (I am not sure if this is because of the rabies vaccination but I find it very hard to believe that all the pit bulls in Baltimore City are up to date on their rabies vaccination.) Then I searched for how many pets there are in MD. Funny, how google doesn't give you a number but instead says that about half of all "households" in MD own a pet. So I searched that info and there are 2.4 million+ households in MD, so that means that out of over a million pets, only 204 cases of rabies were found and it was mostly wild animals. It really puts into perspective the actual "problem". I did this same thing during the scamdemic to disprove the MSM hysteria about COVID cases.
It’s great to see that RFK Jr. is starting his attack against the COVID vaccines. I know he’s a busy guy but, this Chemtrail / Geo Engineering poisoning needs to STOP. The skies above central MD yesterday were full of fake clouds and chemtrail jets.
I decided to trigger the Nextdoor liberals a couple of days ago by posting an article about Kennedy saying covid shots should be removed from the childhood schedule. I don't mind being called names, but it is discouraging to see how many people are still ignorant. How can they not see what is happening?? I post these things hoping that perhaps one person might be led to do some research and learn the truth.
I, too posted on Nextdoor recently about signing a petition to stop the clot shots and wow did the libtards come out in droves! I was told this wasn’t the place for politics (unless of course I swung the other way and then it would’ve been applauded) and people practically begging for more shots. It was very discouraging. I have since deleted that account. Life is too short -time to kick the dust of my sandals and move on.
Check out the IMA aka FLCCC weekly Zoom meetings at 7pm EST every Wednesday for one hour. The doctors go over the harms of all these vax and offer help to those with spike protein problems. Best one hour of my week!
One would think so, but I called them and got a prerecorded gaslighting message about “contrails “ and “there is no evidence of harmful substances being sprayed into the atmosphere”.
I thought Jeff had shared something about the EPA or Sec of Ag making headway in this area, but so much is going on that I can't keep it all straight. 😜
I think it is more accurate to say an appearance is being made to look like "so much is going on" but in reality, not a lot of rubber is hitting the road. I saw a report that dug into DOGE's findings, and at the end of the day, in reality, total cost savings are $12 billion. (Solari Report)
I'm glad that the DOGE team is working for free as is Trump. And a $12 billion in savings is better than another trillion the other direction. I'll take every win we can get no matter how small.
I look at whatever is being saved as a bonus. $12 billion is a lot of money but what's most important is the fraud that was discovered and the agencies that were disbanded like USAID. That stopped the money train. There is more to what DOGE is doing that is beneficial than just the dollars saved.
EPA acknowledges KS does it. A friend got referred me to the KS Water Office. Here is their response according to her: "It’s my understand that you’re interested materials used for cloud seeding efforts. Silver iodide and dry ice have been the historic cloud seeding agents found to be utilized for weather modification activities for state permitted cloud seeding efforts, with the last permits issued and applied for being in 2016 in western Kansas." Pretty sure she got that much without a FOIA (KORA for KS)
So exhausted by the poisoning in our skies. I'm glad it is becoming a more mainstream topic and many states have proposed bills to stop it (whether or not they have adequate enforcement mechanisms is another issue)
Yes, I did. How many of them will never even take a first Social Security check? Between the clot shot and DOGE, the SS treasury will be swimming in money.
When husband came home and announced this outbreak-of-deadly-disease-in-China news (so what? Jan? Feb? '20) my first two thoughts were : Chinese bio-weapon, and this will save the Social Security funding problem.
What they dont tell you is that the shot was developed with US funds by Prof Ralph Baric at Univ of N Carolina. He is still there. His papers are on pubmed.irg. Take a look. Its free.
There is evidence that the SS story is just that - a story, and there is actually a reasonable explanation for what has happened. That was on Money and Markets report from Solari.
Don’t need any studies to know that the mRNA shots are poison which destroys health and/or kills. For years now, I have seen endless posts about how terrible these injections are. I’m glad they keep sharing this info, but I suspect they’re preaching to the choir…the same people keep reading SS; but most people don’t. These injections are bad. The End. Can’t we move on to everyone refusing them? It’s all about selling a product to make a big profit. Wouldn’t it be great if our government stopped funding all these shots?
Yes, I know. No surprise, as, after all, the whole Covid19 scamdemic was run by the DoD. My husband goes to VA clinic annually for blood work and is always offered all the shots. He declines all, of course.
Astra zenica used a chimpanzee vector CH in their shot. after all the issues with Sv 40, a known cancer promoter from monkey kidneys used in the polio shots! Monkey virus cell lines Vero, still in use. I think thats why they switched to fetal kidney cells which contain the DNA including the sex determining gene from that baby. They call it “contamination”
I find it so puzzling that my 95 year old dad had three shots and is fine. It’s almost like the damage it does to younger bodies helps the older bodies 🤷🏻♀️
"Red vs. blue" might not give accurate results. I am very "red", my husband too, but we were both duped into 2 Pfizer shots before enough info came out. He suffered a massive stroke in January 2025. Now has aphasia (inability to speak) and loss of use of right arm/hand. Try just five minutes functioning with one hand tied up; he's got a lifetime of it now (we are "only" 65 yrs old).
My aunt who is in her 70's had a myocarditis induced heart attack 2 weeks after her 3rd shot. So it seems that the batch has a great deal to do with it. She had zero blockages and her cardiologist actually blamed the MRNA shots.
Robin, you may be interested in this new study by Peter McCullough and Jessica Rose. We were on a zoon call last night with this as the topic via IMA aka FLCCC.
I think that quality control made a big difference in adverse events. There definitely were some bad batches that caused many of the immediate deaths. And I’m betting that group of nurses in a hospital all having brain tumors that are ‘definitely not related’ all got the same batch. All of the covid vaccines carry a lot of risk, but some worse than others.
Fairly early on, I saw a video of a pharmacist who was involved in product review and evaluation. She explained very clearly how there was NO WAY the mRNA clot shots could be produced in a consistent, predictable manner. And that, of course, has been more than demonstrated by the "hot lots." This, of course, is not an argument for "fixing" the process and taking a "better" clot shot.
Do you have access to the batch number of your father's shots? Such that you could run it through Craig Pardekooper's program and see how relatively low-toxic/high-toxic father's shots were.
My understanding—from reading only—is that it is printed on the vax card (which all vaxees had to carry at all times back in ‘21). Otherwise, one might call one’s doctor, or the pharmacy where one received it, providing them with date of injections, and time of day if possible. Just my best guess.
I know a 103 year old woman who is also fine; however, my aunt in her 70's had a myocarditis induced heart attack 2 weeks following her 3rd shot. It seems that the batch makes a huge difference.
It makes sense to me that the better condition one's immune system is, regardless of age, the more sensitive it may be to responding to the adjuvants(LNP's) and mRNA itself. So, if you're 95 and your immune system has trailed off for years(as it does as you age) you may be better off than someone, of any age, with an immune system hitting on all cylinders.
But I am an engineer. . . grain of salt required here.
Please read this new published paper that has found reactions from the jab may not occur for a few years out and why. I am so glad to hear that your dad is doing fine!
I think older persons just have a more "developed" natural immune system, after having been exposed to Heaven-knows over the years. The shots devastated immune system function, so for younger persons this was more detrimental as nature was still developing immunities by natural infection and recovery.
A few years ago, a numbers guy who works with Ed Dowd stated in a Ron Johnson roundtable this very statistic. He also stated the rate was higher for those who stopped at 1 shot. The thought was that their reaction was so bad, they didn't go back for a second shot. Those people may have gotten a shot that was a "bad batch" shot.
No. It was about 37% for 3 or more at the time of the roundtable. But they found a higher rate for those who stopped at one. The shots are not all the same. Some have much more RNA while others are saline. If someone went to get their 2 shots, had a bad reaction after the first one, then they wouldn't go back for the second. They got a heavy dose on the first shot and therefore, more damaging toxins to their body. The manufacturing process was so rushed, there was a lot of variety that went into each vial and even each syringe.
Likewise, if someone went for their first shot, had no problem, they would readily go for their second shot. With each additional shot, your chances of getting a bad batch goes up.
My understanding is that it is NOT cumulative. Those healthy enough to survive a few shots live through more but on the whole are still affected. I think its because the first two are often given closer together
I’ve been fighting the pornographic books in schools fight since 2021. I am so encouraged by SCOTUS this week. Our district (in N Colorado) went so far as to return Gender Queer to the shelves at the Middle School level. 🤦♀️. Hopefully this ruling will help get it removed once and for all.
I stood against a book the teacher was reading to her classroom of THIRD GRADERS back about 15-20 years ago! It included a graphic rape scene! Apparently me and one other parent objected. The school administrators and teacher was shocked we had a problem with it - “no other parents have ever complained” was what we were told. Instead of rethink this book (which was on the scholastic award winners list 😒) my son (and the other kid) had to go wait in the hall while the teacher continued reading the book in class 🤮 Disgusting! Shameful! They’ve been pushing this crap a lot longer than we realize. We’ve been the frog in the pot being slow boiled 😞
The thing that kills me Nard is that the people screaming no book bans and supporting filth like Gender Queer haven't even looked at them. I sent excerpts to several local politicians and our Governor and challenged them to read them out loud to their children and grand children. I also asked why they thought the pictures were cartoon drawings and not real life depictions.
They all admitted they hadn't actually seen the books. They were appalled and couldn't imagine why anyone would think a child should read these books.
Last year the Governor signed a bill requiring the books to be moved to an area for adults only and they cannot be checked out without the parents permission. The librarians can be held responsible and fined if they didn't comply within 60 days of a complaint of inappropriate contract. Librarians complained they didn't have time to review the books they were purchasing.
The libtards in town struck back by filing to remove the Bible ( actually ban it) and closing the smaller libraries because they just" didn't have the ability to police the books".
Of course their arguments prior were" no banning books" and" children must have access to libraries".
I see a big problem is in the information warfare. One side sees the book banning being of porographic books while the other side sees it as "To Kill a Mockingbird" Barnes and Noble had a "banned book" display and none were the gender affirming or sexual children's books that parents are screaming about. Most were classic books.
PSD has made national news for transitioning kids behind parents’ backs. If they don’t remove the book, they will likely find themselves in the national spotlight once again.
I'm starting to think the veiled threats Adam Shift launched at Pam Bondi during her confirmation hearing scored some direct hits. Now into month # 4 and no significant charges among all of the exposed government corruption. Charging a few gang guys and a DA who tried to take down DJT is good, but come on, is that the best the thousands of vaunted DoJ attorneys can do?
I wonder if anyone has been charged with anything.
You need to let GOD do HIS work. It has been 4 months or dear!!! How long did it take to get here...a whole lot longer than 4 months. You should have been complaining a LONG time ago. We the people let our country get in this condition it's in so buckle up buttercup and let GOD clean up this mess on HIS time and HIS way. HE gave us a 2nd chance. Have faith, patience and belief
I understand that too - but the justice system seems to move in fast forward when they are prosecuting innocent conservatives. There seemed to be no lag time when Trump was in their crosshairs, or Bannon got thrown in jail, or when innocent families are swatted several times. J6ers may disagree that it takes time to prosecute people since they were thrown in prison based on no evidence or falsified crap at the speed of light. Why does THAT seem to move so fast? They already knew who these people were before taking office. How long should we be patient? What will be the mantra if we see no actual prosecutions and these people walk away with all their criminal money?
Yes but many of those same people are still in their same positions and they are not pro-MAGA and will now slow everything down rather than speed up. They were never neutral. That is not Pam’s fault. She is up against a lot of corruption from within, and at the very least many liberal hearts and minds that care more about stopping anything she wants no matter if it’s right and good, so they will be resistant in their work.
Yeah they are still cleaning house and getting whose remaining to understand their job is to support the president. Still frustrating to wait, but I just heard this from my husband yesterday. So I unfortunately agree we have to still be patient.
I've been complaining since 2003 when GW invaded Iraq, 5,000 miles from our shores, for bogus reasons. Thousands of Americans killed & injured, millions of civilians killed and injured, trillions of taxpayer dollars wasted, and GW still walking free. Hillary still spouting trash around the world after destroying Libya. They should be turned over to the Hague for war crimes. Then start working in the bureaucrats en masse.
But let's be patient. That's the mantra of enablers of corruption. You & your patient ilk may be part of the problem.
Nonsense. Did God clean up North Carolina after Helene? Did he prevent the 17 MILLION deaths worldwide from the Covid Vax? How about the massive child trafficking and rape? The Biden Regime FUBAR? Etc etc...
Trump is still actively supporting the mass-murder and land thefts of Israel in Gaza and elsewhere... even bombing Yemen at their direction. He refuses to return Russia's stolen reserves and to end the sanctions against them that were placed for totally bogus reasons. The CIA destroyed Russia's Nord Stream pipelines, will Trump rebuild them?
RFK refused to come out early and call for the banning of all mRNA jabs, especially for kids. He has openly called Palestinians "the most pampered people in the world", as he kissed the vile rabbi Shmuley's ass...
Bondi has quashed the promised release of the Epstein, 911 and JFK files, all due to pressure from AIPAC. Where is the P. Diddy information??
Kash and Bongino have said their main gold is supporting Israel! Rubio is a Zionist supporting assclown, Waltz is a neocon warmonger and a damned moron. Hegseth is junior varsity and a stone liar.
Regarding Zelenskyy: I happened to catch the 2 sec clip of 60 Minutes a couple of days ago.
What I heard was “Trump boasted the Ukraine Russian war would be over before the election”
I went no further. I believe it was going to be a head on slam against Trump (duh). I have to wonder if Zelensky is being paid by global elites to be this difficult.
I see Jeff brought this up as well
“-Zelensky and the oligarchs really calling the shots—“
Trump allowed Biden's weapons and money to continue to flow. He is still allowing intelligence and targeting info to aid Ukraine. Trump is definitely part of the problem. He's been in office for 3 months now.
Trump seems to have forgotten that he armed Ukraine during his first term. He gave them javelins to shoot at Russians and Ukrainian citizens in the Donbas.
Zelensky is an illegitimate president and he has no authority to make any deal with Putin.
Trump also ignores the fact that this is a US proxy war against Russia. If he wants to end it he just needs to walk away.
Ukraine: Why doesn’t Trump keep it simple, and just end all funding and support to Ukraine? Who cares what Zelensky wants to do? Just tell him he’s on his own. Now. Completely. None of our business.
I like your suggestion, Cathleen, but I think the reason Trump hasn't pulled out (yet) is he's still hoping to make some profit out of the outcome. First it was the rare minerals lease; now it's the big nuke power plant he wants to take over.
Imagine a high school with 1,000 students, but only 10 black students. (And the make-up isn't because of discrimination; it's just that not very many black families live in the area.) Let's say that there is one black student that is getting in trouble all the time, cutting class, getting in fights, etc. The federal government actually tells that school that they are risking federal funding because they are giving detention to a disproportionate percentage of black kids as compared to white kids since the rate in black students is 10%, but the rate in white students is less than that if fewer than 99 white students are getting detention.
The school's reaction is to either start giving out more detention to white kids, or to be more lenient with the disruptive one black student.
I noticed the last name of the illustrator for the book Jeff posted is " twink" . Definition: (among gay men) a gay or bisexual young man with a slim build and youthful appearance.
Many gays and lesbians are speaking out and separating themselves from the lgbtqi movement because they believe it has been hijacked by pedophiles intent on normalizing pedophilia and grooming children to accept it. I couldn't agree more.
I have a client who works for the IRS (in IT) that came in yesterday. She was saying that the people who received true accommodations for working at home, prior to covid, say because they’re disabled or whatever, are also being required to come into the office every day. That doesn’t sound right to me, it sounds like ‘they’re taking away the poor kids lunch money!’ When they just moved it to another department. Anyone have ideas on this?
She also said that people who lived like 15 miles away were taking the package because they just can’t commute that far into work (we live in freaking HOUSTON, we drive 15 miles to go out to dinner). A couple of other gems were that people who were working at home to take care of their kids or elderly parents were just at a loss, without options, and were going to take the package. And also that there are multiple people in their 80s still working there because they like seeing everyone and don’t have anyone at home.
Now this client definitely leans left but she is not woke, she did lament the chaos going on and morale issues, but she’s worked in the private sector before and had been laid off and knows how this goes and is actually looking forward to improved efficiency. I set her straight on the commute, the child/elder care and the old people working (‘it’s not the responsibility of your workplace to accommodate those things’, I was kind and I’ve known this woman for years, it wasn’t argumentative at all). Anyway, she also said that 27,000 ish have taken the package this 2nd time around, about 4,000 the first time out of 102,000. That’s about 25%, so I’m thinking it’s going well over there.
Anyway, just thought I’d share.
I used to work for the federal government and there were many handicapped people in the office. It was a VA office so there were many disabled veterans. All federal buildings are built to accommodate handicapped/disabled people. One of my supervisors had 2 legs amputated at the hip and one arm amputated at the shoulder. He drove to work everyday. He was a wheelchair basketball coach. The federal government is the most accommodating as far as a workplace envirnonment. If you need a standing desk and you have a doctor's order for it, they have to accommodate your needs.
And I agree...15 miles is nothing...50 miles would be challenging but people have driven that far pre-Covid for many, many years.
Thanks for sharing.
I drove 50 miles to work (100 miles round trip) every day for 30 years. I came to enjoy it. It's a great time to listen to podcasts or audiobooks or do some private prayer.
I did 70 one way in LA.
I would pray too.
Pray I would make it home.
😂
Longest time commute in LA for me was 4 hours one way. A crane had fallen over across the 5, the only. north south interestate. Everyone was on Sepulveda...nightmare 😳
I lived in Canyon Country worked in Torrance.
Northridge quake to 405/ 5 /14 /210 interchange from 21 lanes to 2.
I hear ya. No fun. Fires alongside the freeway are atrocious, too; but the Northridge quake must have had an unbelievable effect on the traffic.
The stories are never ending.
Hit a floating railroad tie size peice of lumber once, on 405.
Worst road debris I dodged, a refrigerator.
We know the 405 well unfortunately.
While we were in Valencia we had a woman turn right from the left lane. There were 3 lanes not including the right turning lane! She turned right into our vehicle. We both pulled over. The police were immediately on the scene. The woman exited her car and came to our car and began yelling. The officer sternly told her to go back to her car and then proceeded to tell us that she must not have realized that he saw the entire accident as he was sitting at the stop light where she was trying to turn right. Best witness to have for an accident is a police officer. 🤣
That's very scary!
I drove 31 miles one way every day when working, sat in traffic making it seem longer than 31 miles, drove in snow and ice on many occasions, and did it for 40 years. These cry babies fussing about returning to the office need to shut up and show up. Enough coddling.
Really...we're turning into a society sprinkled with lots of snowflakes who can't take any amount of heat
For a time, I was commuting 100 miles each way to work, just so I could jump in a truck and drive further to various project sites. Enjoyed that for about two days, then it became a grind.
Or learn a new language or listen to sermons. Many things a person can do while driving. Phone use hands free of course.
My wife has driven ~110 mile commute for quite awhile now. But her unit is collapsing into the usual backstabbing that seems inevitable in every hospital environment, and all the people she loved working with have either left or have given their notice.
As a matter of fact, she has an appointment with her hospitals HR to file a complaint this afternoon.
She just accepted a job in Tulsa at 30% higher pay. Will be finished with the bitchy shithole by end of May.
And, it wouldn’t surprise me, if other women were the problem. I told my husband, I would rather work with ALL men than one bitchy woman.
Sad but true.
That's terrible.
Geez, when we lived in the far west Suburbs (Loudoun County) probably half our neighbors commuted the hour into DC. Plenty of government employees used to commute from as far West Virginia back before Covid. It was always a fact of life in the area.
I drove 60 miles each way, my first year in graduate school.
Oh, and, as usual, CA is looking at forming a committee to research charging Californians .06-.09¢/mile. This is to make up for all of the EVs now populating the roads. Of course, those of us with gas guzzlers are already pulling more than our weight. Why not just charge the EV owners this? Because why miss out on an opportunity to raise taxes on everyone?
Wow 😳...yet another tax on the Californians.
Shocking, right? 🙄
For six years after we moved to Texas I drove 90mins/miles each way to Greenville, through Dallas. Fortunately this was before rush hour am and after rush hour pm.
Again, fortunately, I retired in 2006, no way would I wish to share the road with the current breed of crazy Texan drivers - remind me of D.C. 25 years ago!
When I was in grad school, I drove 20 miles one way most days. This isn’t that far, I realize that. Some days, it was twice as my classes were spaced far enough apart that I either went home because staying on campus for 7 hours didn’t make sense or I had to work.
I’m in the DC area. There are people that used to drive 60-70 miles each way in bumper to bumper traffic, pre-COVID. I’m retired from the Air Force: 26 years, SMSgt. Most of my assignment, was at Bolling AFB, in DC. I was a musician with the US Air Force Band. I thought the traffic was bad, driving 17 miles each way. I thought the people driving 50 and 60 or more miles each way, each day, were nuts. I still do. Now they are complaining about having to drive back to the office, like they used to do without complaining.
Exactly. Most of the people who work in downtown area commute from the suburbs. I did it for many years myself.
I hear them complain about the cost of riding Metro, and then paying $5.25/day to park at the Metro station, where the garage is less than half full, yet they will use gas, which costs anywhere from $2.99/gallon to $4/gallon for premium, drive into the city dealing with the traffic, and pay $20/day to park, and walk 4 or 5 blocks, when there is a Metro stop across the street from their office.
Regarding IT workers at the IRS. Are they really working? Read recently that DOGE changed the login button on the IRS website in 70 minutes while the actual IRS IT worker said it would have taken three months.
She claims she’s working like a madwoman, but she also supports one of their legacy systems. Idk. It seems that many people working in the public sector aren’t working a full day in private sector terms. My client actually agrees with this, she said she knows multiple people who never showed up at the office or on a zoom meeting after they shut down for Covid. Five. Years.
Definitions of "working hard" or "working like a madman" vary, or so it seems. I had my own business for 33 years and sometimes I worked 20 hour days until I was literally vibrating with pure exhaustion and collapsed into bed for a couple of hours before starting everything all over again. I didn't have a choice to screw off because it was my business, my livelihood. I worked for numerous CA state agencies in the summers during the years I was in college, and I saw first hand how "hard" most of them DIDN'T work. My impression was always that the state had hired far too many people and they didn't have enough work to do.
Public agencies and non profit ‘workers’ do not ‘work hard’. Their salaries and jobs are not tied into “performance or accountability’ in any way. I know, I always worked in the ‘corporate world’ then took a job with a local nonprofit ‘community health’ operation, for a couple of years. What a joke, but was an easy job! 😉🤪
Not sure if it's still true but working for VA Office side, there were production standards (which became increasingly difficult to meet) and performance evaluations. There was also mandatory OT. So all federal jobs are not the same.
My son started his own company, has 40+ people, and still seems like he has to do everything.
Agreed. She might be working hard for the IRS culture, or in comparison to others around her. Who knows?
Not showing in person or digital meetings is the reason for the five bullet points of accomplishment requirement for the past week.
I mean, can you imagine missing ONE meeting at a private sector job and not having to explain yourself!?!
🤯
Per Jeff's comment: "The most important of the series of new orders ended use by any federal agency of the so-called “disparate impact” theory of racial discrimination, which allowed agencies to conclude there was de facto discrimination at a school or business if there were too few minorities as a statistical sample.
Imagine a donut shop that requires applicants to pass a written math test to get hired, like measuring glaze-to-dough ratios or inventory forecasts. If minority applicants disproportionately fail the test, the EEOC could prosecute the shop for the “disparate impact” claiming it is presumptive evidence of racial discrimination."
If the 'playing field' were level in the beginning, then yes, by the time College comes around, who even needs DEI?
But since the field is systematically biased/jaded/oppressive (not even close) when one considers generational socio-economic opportunities including jobs, education, living standards, racism, etc.).
Unfortunately, the predatory nature of man makes life perilous for those that are cast as 'below' them. Money of course, is a tool, but it's also a weapon when it is utilized in suppressing others.
Need proof?
Just look at the last USA's last 350 years and see if there ever existed a socio-economic/educational/opportunity/justice "level" field.
And the rest of the World can be thrown in as well.
Interesting times.
Doge:
DOGE has revealed the Dept. of Veterans Affairs was paying $380,000 per month, or $4.56 million a year, for minor website edits now being done in 10 hours a week by a SINGLE engineer.
Unsurprisingly, same story in the private sector. I know a freshly hired IT person who solved/created in one day a system change the outgoing IT person had been "working on" for more than six months. Both millennials. ...There's two kinds of people: contributors and drainers. Maybe future society sends the drainers to the distant colony (so far only a figment of imagination) on Australion --Mars colony is too close-- along with the psychopaths, sociopaths and narcissists. Seeing that in practice makes a good case for reincarnation...
Signor Pareto's 80/20 once again.
Quite the curiosity how often it holds true. Like... he was onto something, or something.😅😆
You and I---we see the observation of Pareto everywhere!
But keep the telephone sanitizers here -- they may turn out to be important after all.
Hm. Up to future society to develop an evaluation tool to pinpoint who fits certain profiles so's they don't banish valuable skills... And another to thwart wayward tendencies of them types... Ah, the expansiveness of imagination...
Sorry, I couldn't resist an opportunity for a "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" series reference.
I miss Douglas Adamms
Orwell, Heinlein, Asimov, Bradbury, Herbert, Creighton. I'm sure there are others of which I'm ignorant. ...I thought sure we'd at least be equal to the Jetsons by this late date. Truthfully, I'm pretty sure most of the technology exists; it's just been suppressed. Once the curtain has been pulled back fully - my vote says within the next decade, but 🤷♀️ - the speed of development for and adoption by the masses will be astounding. I'd sure love to be alive to see it. Statistically, I won't, but I'm all for defying statistics.
Well the way people drive, I hope the gov't at least has the sense to forbid aircars to just wiz around above peoples' homes!
Just spitballing - I'm no master of imagination - rest easy, there will still be air lanes, vertical and horizontal, not 100% free airspace for aircars. Like I know...😆🤣🤣
I don't know about that, the lack of decent boundaries concerning where people can fly drones does not bode well!
Welp, I'm not an aviation or transportation professional person type. Never have seen a drone in action. (Watch, today will be the day...) I'm sure concerns are well founded. My car sets off warning signals for objects in close range, crossing a lane marker, following a vehicle too closely, cars approaching in lanes to the side, lemme think what else... Blanking at the moment. There's a way to fly cars safely, in traffic. I have faith. Might be the AI factor? In the '50s my grandfather refused to get a television; he said he was waiting until they perfected it. I might have to adopt a wait and see on the aircar... *edit - If I live that long. 💀🪦
I am surprised it took them 70 minutes. The fact the other said it would take 3 months tells you that they are not an IT person. It is easy to change the code if you know how to code which the DOGE guys know how to do.
Yeah — they’d have to form a committee for the button and schedule meetings (which only some would attend) to decide the color, shape, and location of the button. I mean that’s three whole things (plus the committee organization and meeting debates). Of course they planned on 3 months! lol
Sure. Keep telling yourself that.
Sometimes sarcasm is lost on people.
I worked at the JFK Federal Building in Boston. There were TWO, yes TWO IRS employees who were completely blind - I reiterate the number TWO because that is proportionately a HECK OF A LOT of blind employees to the total number of IRS employees in that building, but I digress. Anyhoo, they came to work DAILY and worked a full 8 hour tour of duty. I believe the blind gentleman commuted by PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION!!!! I know this because one day one of his coworkers was unable to assist him in walking to the T station, so I helped him there. I cannot speak for them, but I'm pretty certain that it was not easy, at all, for them to commute and yet they did, and it was normal and it was natural and they did it. Truly, if anyone had an excuse to sit home and not work and collect Social Security Disability, it is a blind person and no one would fault them for it at all. Kudos to them and their work ethic!!!!! I always admired them.
"... it was normal and it was natural and they did it."
I went back and reread those words 3 times with a lump in my throat.
What an amazing thing it would be if we could ever get back to that.
What a courageous soul that person is!!
My husband is waiting to see what happens to him. He was hired as a remote worker out of Philadelphia. That’s 3000 miles away. He has never had an office. They said he had to find an office within 50 miles but now due to the reductions, it is unknown whether he will have to find somewhere to commute to, or he will lose his job entirely. He absolutely hates commuting and does not look forward to adding three hours onto his workday by driving. Now it looks like if he keeps a position, we will have to move to wherever they decide that position is going to be at. Many people are saying they don’t want to move and have taken the buyout or retired early out of 24 in his section, there are eight left. he does not qualify for any of the offers so far because he hasn’t been there long enough and most of the people he works with have been there 15 to 30 years. He is a very hard worker. He does not take care of kids at home. He does not take care of an elderly mother at home. He’s very diligent. He wins lots of awards. He is his bosses right hand man, but sadly none of that’s going to matter. I am absolutely Pro clean out of the govt mess but it does hurt real people.
So very sorry for the situation you find yourself in at this time. I also understand how unnerving it can be to have to face an unnerving alternative. But there are times when these sorts of topsy-turvy situations may be a blessing in disguise. God may have another opportunity just waiting! He has promised that He will provide for our daily needs and will never leave us! Just an FYI - I too worked for the government in CA, came off maternity leave with our first child and we were all told that our jobs were moving to DC - 3,000 miles away. They was many many years ago. The rest of the story has been a blessing and gift from God! I will be praying for your situation. Please do not lose hope!
Thank you so much for your encouragement. I do trust Gods provision. Unfortunately this is the 3rd time we have been through this in 9 years 😅 the word “we’re reorganizing” is 😖 but this job was a huge Blessing over his last job he was sorry to loose. Can’t wait to see what God will do next, trying not to be too concerned. ☺️
Praying for you and your husband, Susan, And hoping you have a good church family to help and support.
That's the spirit! Surrender yourself to Jesus and let Him take care of everything. This situation is out of your control so worrying about it only makes the uncertainty worse. I will pray for you and your husband that God holds you both in His loving arms and protects you and gives you His blessings.
Bless you hearts! Thank you for your reply and as I said, I will be praying for you and your sweet family.
Is his job coded to be a remote job? It makes a difference. I believe it’s in the job description whether it is an office job or a remote job. Some specialized jobs are remote or if it is a hard to fill job that needs particular job skill, it will state in the job description. When COVID hit and everyone went home and started teleworking, those jobs are not coded to telework. It is very easy for HR to know who should be in the office.
Yes he was hired as a remote worker. He is 3,000 miles away from his “work”. They aren’t differentiating right now. I keep thinking at some point they will but haven’t yet. Most of his co-workers live all across the country as remote workers and some used to “go to the office”
I guess time will tell. Thank you 😊
When Chevron closed plants and offices in CA due to the restrictive CA government regulations they had to move to Houston or take buyouts
When Disney moved whole departments out of California due to the heavy taxes on their industry people took buyouts or moved
Hollywood has moved so many production companies to New Mexico and Canada and more
This is what happens all the time in private sector due to government interference
And the companies are offered tax reductions to relocate and other incentives
I totally am clean up the government but also realize some of the good ones will get hit. When this happens I hope that they are picked up quickly. I also know good ones do not stay unemployed long
Except for no one is hiring 😬 we might have to get manufacturing jobs in the Midwest 😂
That has been an issue in the economy pretty much since the great recession. I have a friend who's an economist and does the speaker circuit mostly in the Midwest, does a lot of work with the Fabricators and Manufacturers Assn. Small town manufacturers would tell him stories of openings that sat unfilled for months on end, there were not enough people with the requisite skills, but people were upside down in their homes and so couldn't afford to move there. And it's a risky move - towns where there are only a handful of employers, when one goes sideways, the options are limited to those who want to stay. My brother in law is a metallurgical engineer - every time he gets laid off, he & my sister have had to move as those jobs are not plentiful in any one locale. Sorry you are going through this - current issue seems to be a lot of displacement as change happens quickly - both in the private sector and in government.
😬
My dad’s degree is in metallurgical engineering. Every job was mechanical engineering, lol.
You may find that the Midwest is where sanity is found! People can speak out at school board meetings without being escorted out by police or censored. Our voices can make a difference. And we know our county sheriff!
SD is having trouble filling jobs.
I can testify to that. :(
This happens in the private sector, too. My husband works for a large, well-known company that acquired the smaller company that he was previously working for. This larger company has decided to reduce their workforce by 20%. They are making everyone reapply for their jobs and will likely close the small office in our city. My husband will have to apply for a new job within the company, and if he gets it, we will be moving. If he doesn’t get it, he will have to find another job.
I kind of like the reapplying, but federal is more concerned with time in service. Which my husband is the lowest years 😬 but moving is a big deal, many are saying they are not going to move, we are open to moving just maybe not to where the job is 😅😅😅 Best wishes to you for the Best outcome for you too! 🙏🏻
Thanks! Sorry you are dealing with this hassle too.
☹️ Its a hassle and stressful but doable.
My dad worked for IBM when I was a kid. To move up the ladder he had to be willing to go where the next promotion was. I attended 13 different schools in 11 years. By high school I took the GED and moved out on my own. My Dad was very successful and in our own way, the rest of us were all a part of that by being supportive of him and going along for the ride. Sacrifices were made by all of us for all of us. We had a good life and learned a lot about personal choices and when it came to careers what was tolerable and what was not.
I had a similar experience with a military dad. Thankfully, he retired when I was in 6th grade so we stayed put for the rest of my years in school.
Your husband sounds like someone who will be snapped up by the private sector: very hard worker, diligent, award-winning, boss's right hand man.
That’s my husband you described!
The unknown can be hard. When I was laid off in 2020 because of the government shutdowns, it was hard to be positive. Now, 5 years later, I can see that things have worked out for the best. And that put me on a path to discover Coffee & Covid in 2021, which I have read diligently every day since then!
Maybe he can say that recently his remote office, located in his home, recently re-identified itself as a home office, in a remote location.
There are plenty of stories like this. The job they are doing is far from surgical, which it needs to be.
Problem is, if they took it slow, there would be time to put up roadblocks, and many of the DOGE people are on leave of absence from their lives and won't do this forever. But agree the outcome may be 2 steps forward and then a step back.
Absolutely we are not alone. I know there are many real people loosing their jobs. I was just telling my story. I worry more about those with young families than I do about us.
Susan Seas, I just went to prayer for your husband. Yeshua (Jesus) is our Advocate (our Attorney), continually interceding to the Father for His children. My prayer is that your husband will find favor, both with God and man. That his dedication, his diligence be noted.
“May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His Face to shine upon you and be gracious to you. May the Lord turn His Face toward you and give you peace.”
Numbers 6:24-26
🙌🏻 Thank You!
One of my favorite verses. I appreciate your thoughtfulness. 💗
None of our business, but if he was last hired, what did he do before the govt job?
He is a grant manager. He was fired from working from the state for Non compliance, served in the Military for 30 years.
No one likes commuting. No one. Why do you think the term “cushy government job” became a thing? Your husband may “work hard” in the comfort of your home but I guarantee you, it’s not as hard as the averse person employed in the private sector. Looks like your husband may become a pleb like us common folk.
Excuse me!?! You absolutely know nothing of anything really. My husband served 30 years in the Military. Don’t assume he has had a “cushy govt job” his whole life! 10% are able to serve their Country. 1% do! So stick that up your tail pipe! Sorry you haven’t risen above a sucky job!
Aaand you know nothing as well. I’m a trad-wife (so no sucky job) My father and a son served. Same son is now a LEO. Does that mean my 2% cancels your 1%? My husband quit a very lucrative job and we moved out of state because he refused to get the jab. We all have hard times, Sweetheart, and sometimes need to make difficult choices. But keep whining, it suits you.
No your two doesn’t. I could definitely Trump that. You obviously haven’t been around here long. I am absolutely not a whiner. You have a nice day.
Because you say so…. Hmmm… So incredibly telling. AMF.
I'm sorry that it's hitting you. I have hit many bumps in life and now, looking back, the most difficult ones ultimately led to the best outcomes. Weathering the journey wasn't easy, but the end point was beyond anything I could have ever expected. Use the change, if you can, as an opportunity. I know, easier said than done. Best wishes!
Was he hired prior to COVID?
No, he was hired in … 2023
Well put, thank you and prayers for your family during this difficult time. I can relate as I am in a similar boat to your husband and 💯 agree with your sentiment.
just guessing here, but often people know of ONE anecdotal point of info and conflate that into the rule or policy or general. Did this woman hear of one or 10 disabled folks being forced to come in to work? Not knowable of course, but. . . just saying.
Besides, it is likely each case will be looked at individually and some will be allowed to continue working at home.
Some individual cases are indeed being looked at individually, and I know the son of a friend in a government job has gotten a medical reprieve and can continue working from home. This happened recently, within the last month.
it's nice to be validated, Sparky! thanks.
So far they are not looking at individual cases. Just like those who started working from home during CoVid are not being distinguished from those hired as Remote Workers. Hoping some common sense will prevail but not so far.
Yes, I would expect that initially, but it's a great way to weed out those who really need the home office vs the lazy one's.
I agree, she probably knew a couple of people and the rumor mill is making it into a bunch. But yes, I expect that people with legitimate accommodation will still have them after review. Unless they panic and take the package.
With sincere apologies to the truly disabled, be it physical or mental, it infuriates me that there are so many “disabled” who can manage to do anything in life except work for a living. At the same time, a friend deathly ill from chemo (preC) couldn’t even qualify for temporary assistance.
Interesting info, Valerie! I'm surprised that physically challenged IRS employees are crying the blues about returning to "in office" status as the American With Disabilities Acts in the 1990's (signed into law by the "elder Bush" POTUS) required that ALL employers install ramps and automatic doors to make it possible and easier for people in wheelchairs and with physical challenges to use the public/employers' buildings. That law was a BIG DEAL for people with all kinds of physical challenges and one of my 'heroes' of the Christian faith - JONI EARECKSON TADA - was instrumental in getting this bill passed into law. Her ministry that she started over 40 years ago to lift up those (who like she herself knows all too well since her body was ravaged by spinal cord injury at the age of 16) people with physical challenges of all natures! Joni is still involved as an activist in another deeply concerning area of our "ungodly culture" - the "right to die" movement. It's catching on fast, folks - where the "state" will determine if you're "fodder" and they will step in and "pull the cord" on people who have debilitating conditions or are just "old and useless". Shades of the movie "Soylent Green" from the 1970's.
It was a great thing, applied ridiculously. Like in my power plant, huge power plant, that when we built our new control room, had to accommodate every type of malady ever thought of. The irony was, no one with disabilities could work in the place, couldn’t even get to the control room without climbing over railroad tracks, going through some of the most dangerous places on earth, BUT, we were required to accommodate. Fucking ridiculous.
Your company's compliance was required because it was a Federal law - but many otherwise unemployable people WERE given the opportunity to hold down decent-paying jobs that they otherwise would have been denied. I understand your viewpoint though, Alan.
My viewpoint was that the federal government is mindless. We tried to get them to figure it out, and drop the requirements that increased costs by tens of thousands of dollars. They even came out to look at the site. It was comical, seeing women in high heels crossing train tracks in the coal shed. But they came, and said, no, this room has to accommodate wheelchairs. Alrighty then.
I get it, Alan - truly! But the upside is what the Americans with Disability Act DID do in a positive way for many physically challenged people who wanted to enter the workforce and couldn't because of all of the obstacles in their way. Such as architectural and ingress/egress obstacles!
My conservative son lives in Houston and “leaning left” in Houston is far left to those of us living in the Midwest!
He’s not lying! We do have left leaning people here but not too much woke, at least not in the suburbs.
Niece is working from home, still, for social security, disabled. So poppycock. She hasn’t had to leave the house.
I also have an asylum officer and an FBI agent as clients. Asylum guy is coming in tomorrow, I’ll find out what their status is because they all have been remote for years. He’s assuming they’ll be put into existing federal buildings.
You'll have to update us tomorrow then. (please :))
It’ll probably be Saturday, I don’t see him til the afternoon.
I had a cousin who was a ‘developmentally disabled” male (cerebral palsy) who worked as a ‘clerk’ for HUD for almost 35 plus years, out in Commifornia, in Sacramento and San Francisco. He had his DL as a young adult, but then gave it up and used public transportation to ‘commute’ to work for many years. He was a single guy, so he wanted to go into work. That was his social connection to the world. He didn’t have a computer at home and would have never wanted to work at home alone. He retired in December of 2022, on his 70th birthday. In January 2023, he was found dead in his apartment. Dead long enough that the coroner couldn’t pull any fingerprints to identify him, as there was little to no moisture in his fingertips. A family member had to identify his body.
Yes, he did get The Jabs for his job with the Federal Government.
Whoa, that’s such a sad ending to a great story.
Yes it was. And he was the only child of my Aunt, my Mom’s older sister. Several other members of my Aunt’s family (cousins) and her caregiver’s husband and niece have also “died suddenly” as well. They were all ‘jabbed up”, ranging in age from 77, 71, 57 & 34.
When I lived in Houston it took me 45 minutes to drive my child to school 12 miles from our house and 25 minutes back.
I had a similar experience! What part of town?
West Houston. End of Memorial at Hwy. 6. Drove her to Clay Road Baptist elementary northeast of there.
I know the area, but not well. I drove my son 12 miles each way straight down spring cypress to trinity lutheran for 5 years. On a good day it took 50 min round trip.
ON the way to 100% I hope!
Wouldn’t that be great?
We had a school staff member at the school board meeting the other night complain that we didn’t understand hard work. I mean, she had to answer 9 calls in one hour and sign in 10 parents. (Oh, no!) 🙄
Wow, that is a truly full day. 🙄
I know. I was so sad for her.
And many, many thanks for your informed information!
Wow. Trump has some mess to clean up, Godspeed.
But you, beloved, ought to remember the words that were spoken beforehand by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ, that they were saying to you, “In the last time there will be mockers, following after their own ungodly lusts.” These are the ones who cause divisions, worldly-minded, devoid of the Spirit. But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.
— Jude 17-21 NAS
Keep it coming Janice. Jeff does a great job of informing us of the latest cultural and political battles to which we can direct our prayers and you are being used of God to focus us on the only thing we can really depend on when all is said and done: Christ! "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone who believeth.." Romans 1:16
We are directly living in these last times.
I tend to avoid saying we're in the last times because "only the Father knows". But I can't disagree with you...all the elements are coming together like no other time in history.
And a good reminder:
https://www.theamericanconservative.com/what-would-jesus-do/
What’s going on today in the Holy Land has not materialized out of nowhere. There are thousands of years of history surrounding this, and there’s an interesting piece of history that everyone seems to forget.
Around 3500 years ago, YHWH did command Joshua to kill and burn all the tribal inhabitants and their livestock and belongings in various areas of Canaan. And the reason was that all those tribes were descended from literal giants (Goliath, Og of Bashan, et al). They had been infected with Nephilim (fallen angel) DNA.
One of the tribes and areas that Joshua failed to eradicate were the Philistines in Gaza. The name “Palestine” is believed to derive from the name “Philistine,” one of the original giant tribes. So, it appears that YHWH was using Joshua’s conquest of Canaan to protect the bloodline of his chosen people, the Israelites. And the Israelites were not all Jewish, they were a “mixed multitude” of people who came out of Egypt. The tribe of Judah was only one of 12 tribes that included millions of people.
By the time Jesus arrived on the scene, 10 of the tribes, known as Israel and located above Jericho, had vanished in the northern diaspora, while the southern tribes of Judah and Benjamin remained in Judea, south of Jericho and adjacent to Gaza. This is why Jesus says he “was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel” in Matthew 15:24. They had disappeared into other lands and cultures.
There are other clues in the Bible that indicate that the appearance of Jesus was intended to only benefit a specific group of people. When the angels on the night of Jesus’ birth appeared to the shepherds, the complete quote of what the angels said was, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men ON WHOM HIS FAVOR RESTS!” Other translations say, “in whom God is pleased.“
As revealed by the conquests in Canaan, YHWH‘s favor rests on some, but not others. The question is, who are those on whom God’s favor rests? And I think you have to look very carefully at what Jesus actually taught to figure that out. What Jesus taught was obedience to the moral imperatives of the written Mosaic Law.
Very few people today obey the written Mosaic law. Most Jews do not. They obey the Talmud, which the rabbis claim supersedes the written law of Moses. Christians also don’t obey the written Mosaic law. The entire population of western civilization has cherry picked portions of the Mosaic law that they wish to obey, basically some of the 10 Commandments, but there’s a lot more to the moral imperatives in the Torah than that.
So, all I’m saying is that I don’t think you can understand what’s happening in Israel and Gaza today without being familiar with the history of that region. I don’t know who’s right, but I agree that terrorism from either side is unacceptable. In my opinion, there is a demonic stronghold in the land of Gaza.
But at the same time, the Israel of today is not the Israel of 2000 years ago. As long as the Jewish people refuse to accept Jesus as their spiritual Messiah and return to the moral imperatives of the Torah, there will never be peace there. Yeshua (Jesus’ real name in Hebrew), literally means “salvation,” even in the modern Hebrew language. The answer is staring them in the face and has been for 2000 years, but they are still blind to Him.
There’s no reason to delve into ancient history. Perhaps a bit interesting but not very relevant. The Israeli Government, invoking their religion (in spite of most of them being atheists or secularists) claim they are commanded not to kill, but they are doing it to their neighbors who have lived there for 1300 years with impunity. We all know that the relative newcomers who now occupy the land known as modern day Israel are not Semites. Mostly from Poland, Russia, Germany, etc. They have no claim on this land, contrary to what the Evangelical preachers like Hagee, et al, and their bogus Schofield Bible want to claim. Christians and Jews who use the Bible to justify the slaughter of innocents are deeply disturbed people. I’ll have no part of it.
Honestly, it’s not even a religious issue. It’s a moral issue.
See Geneses 12:3.
I think Sheickh Yusuf Qaradawi would have disagreed with you. Qaradawi, who passed away in 2022, was the religious leader of the Hamas movement. He wrote much about this conflict, but the crux of his argument is that the current battle between Islam and Judaism has its roots in the historical relationship between Hagar and Sarah, and their sons Ishmael and Isaac. This is a story that goes back over 4,000 years, so obviously to Hamas, the Palestinians, and the Jews, ancient history is foundational to understanding the current conflict.
Thank you for this comment, an accurate history lesson. So many 'christians' have no idea what the Holy Bible actually teaches and they are held under a great deception.
History, schmistory (as they used to say, about 20 years ago, which now sounds quite Yiddish, interestingly).
WWJD?
History lessons can be fun (and I say that as some of the degree in history) but at the end of the day, are you on the side of love, truth and light, or deadly destruction? Pick a side.
Mike huckabee, who claims to be a Christian, has nothing to say about the genocide in Gaza.
Why does he claim to be Christian? Why does he not just convert to Judaism?
I think it is fascinating to watch God's word be proven true over and over.
There's a point where a school isn't a school anymore. Hiding what they're doing from the parents is criminal
Criminal, and, hopefully, prosecutable.
SD tried and failed to pass a law that would have made librarians subject to the same laws regarding the distribution of pornography to minors that everyone else is subject to.
I am still not understanding why our schools have materials that clearly violate laws against exposing minors to pornography. Basically the lawyers are hanging their hat on some pretty mealy mouthed language around educational value, and any efforts in our local SB's get dog piled on by hordes of screaming lunatics yelling about book banning. One of my friends attempted to read from one of the books and the lefty SB president had the police escort him out due to a violation of board policy against obscene language. And yet the book with the same language is in the school libraries. Common sense and decency are MIA.
Exactly
I will retire next year and will begin homeschooling our youngest granddaughter who is 11. I am thankful that this evil in the schools has been exposed.
Amen. Homeschooling (home education) is the way to go.
Definitely Home Education. That's what it's for. Not repeating school at home. Here in England there are very strong feelings on this point and I'd love to see this taken up in the US.
Is home schooling allowed in England? There 3 of my grandchildren live. Before I began home-schooling our youngest--which I did for only one year (8th grade) 2001-02, I had investigated the rules in various European countries.
Yes it is. There's a strong home education movement. In Germany it's not been allowed since the 1930s. France recently banned it, so I believe.
Thank you for that information!
🎯
I think homeschooling can be exciting! Look at all the web resources available! Through in some great books, time outdoors and time looking within. What a wonderful opportunity!
I am soooo excited and blessed to be able to do this with my girl.
Wait until you see what that little brain is capable of! You will be amazed.
Alan, this little one is so amazingly clever and driven. Going to experience the time of our lives ❤️
In WA state the lefties made it law that schools can hide many things from the parents, transitions, abuse and more.
The left coast seems to be saturated with all manner of evil.
I live in eastern Oregon and, needless to say, our school isn’t woke… but we do have a tampon machine in the boy’s bathroom (empty), some content I would call questionable, and a few radical leftist parents who insist on a litter box in the restrooms. (!)
I’m done with all of it. It’s insanity and mental illness sugar-coated as a “compromise“ for school funding and the few kids who are really messed up. I don’t know how to fix this when our state leaders are incompetent and mentally ill.
I think we have been played by being kind and moral. Because of a hijacked voting system, the nuts (and turtles) are in charge. We can’t teach basic English (or any language) without qualifiers on pronouns! History and science flew out the window a long time ago, right after cursive writing. And basic math is too hard to grasp. Do we even need schools?
What leftists paint as“centuries of institutional racism and lack of opportunities” is really our good versus evil world. 🌎 We aren’t doing kids any favors by not teaching them how the world really works. Ethics, morality, critical thinking, and God are missing. That said, we are finally moving in the right direction (Trump!) despite the crazies.
Our compromised Supreme Court is a conundrum for me… are they that sick and twisted? Too many videos of them with small children?
With Tim’s tampons in the boys bathrooms, I think that pretty much qualifies that school as being ‘woke’. 🙄
Right??? But it’s empty ;) Even out where we live, people aren’t really standing up - they think it’s funny because they "followed the law" but skirted it. Like that’s standing up? They accuse those of us who oppose having the tampon dispenser as being radicals, while they are reasonable and doing what they "need to" to get school funding. So yes, I think you are right Marci.
That's why we are here. Too few stood up while the masses went along to go along. There is a price to pay for lacking courage , and we're there now.
Your post makes my head hurt. 🤯 And I agree, this is a good vs evil issue.
Very eloquently put. Thank you. The coddled kids became angry and frustrated after entering the working world and they didn't get a corner office and a raise after a couple of months. Years of ribbons for everyone at competitions and presents for everyone at birthday parties made all of them feel they were always special just for showing up. Heck of a shock when the day comes when they aren't.
I feel sorry for Eastern Oregonians who are forced to live in such a woke, leftist state.
Being in a conservative part of the state, I am thinking you can control your school board and thus your schools. Although there are those pesky State mandates. I live in SW Oregon, and love Eastern Oregon in the spring! It looks so totally different with all the water.
I wish… they bend too easily, I think. Trying to accommodate the weirdos and walking a fine line between state mandates and punishments. But you’re right! The lupin and balsam are exploding this spring - it’s beautiful. And so is the coast… all the rhododendron and azaleas are blooming. We have to take this state back.
Until your state governor and AG comes at you when you've gone too far in their royal opinion, like they do in CA
And Minnesota. And Illinois. And Ohio. And Michigan. And NY. And NJ. And PA. and CT. Unfortunately, the cancer has metastasized.
I forgot to mention Wisconsin, too. And Maine.
Wisconsin is truthfully red but the leftists have been allowed to cheat and steal elections.
Thats federal $
It's always the money! AZ's largest school district, Mesa Public Schools, is woke and a joke. 32% can pass math proficiency tests, 35% can pass reading proficiency tests. Mesa, BTW, has always been a conservative, LDS city. Only with woke administrators has it deteriorated to something verging on California-esque. SMH...
We live in extremely conservative Yavapai county. The rest of the state drives us crazy!! 😄
I get that 100%. I've lived here my entire life and I would like nothing more than to see the kingdom of Maricopa broken up in to 4-6 counties. East Mesa & Gilbert are still conservative strongholds but Phoenix is scary blue!
I'm 3rd generation Arizonan, raising a 4th. My grandparents moved to Chandler in 1950!
And the blue cities within red states such as Memphis and Nashville in TN.
Its because, when you scratch the surface, these schools, like during covid, are receiving or used to receive, huge federal grants & private $. Higher Ed is even worse. Penn State, for example, is getting very large amounts of private funding from Mellon Foundation to run their DEI programs which are all over their website. Mellon - Aluminum, polluting local rivers with fluoride waste? Huge grants got fluoride started & into the water systems. So even if\when their fed $ stop, they have a backup.
Massachusetts too!
It’s dripping on the weather coast! Just shocking
I live here in WA. They are currently passing laws every week that destroy our freedom. The taxes alone will cripple any of us not making $100,000 a year.
Such a shame. It's beautiful out there, but leftists are completely ruining it.
Oregon too… I can’t keep up with all the legislation… :(
Come to Florida.we need more conservatives to help eject the illegals and retards.
no wonder why Harvard and Stanford need remedial math classes for its freshmen - back to RRR for all schools (the way it used to be) and leave the social engineering to parents
They need those classes because they no longer accept the best and brightest! Lowered their standards far below average.
Here in England a friend hasa child in secondary school. The math homework is set by AI. This system gives frequent wrong answers. For example to calculation of area and volume.
Those errors can only get there by being deliberately included in the software.
Without some cataclysmic social changes I don’t think there’s much hope for the UK.
No. In my opinion we are done for. I do what I can to keep our culture alive and to support my friends.
Harvard has long been involved in biological weapons development, as well as others of their ilk. Its those programs using gain of function in biological safety labs BSL-4s that must be shuttered. And gain of function is not limited to human use, the veterinarian schools produce research on Gain of function shots for animals
Harvard and UNC were up to their necks in the covid development .
and now there is a report that the death jabs impair thinking ability - beginning to believe the the zero population guys are in charge
And this bill just signed into law by WA Governor. It provides housing reparations to “ marginalized” people. Taxpayer funded reparations. Another bill provides a year’s worth of contraceptives on the taxpayers dime. These paid for by the largest tax increases in WA state history. And these aren’t even the worst results of this years legislative session. https://open.substack.com/pub/conservativeladiesofamerica/p/was-hb-1696-signed-into-law-taxpayer?r=nl3ud&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=post
Complete lunatics, those WA state commie Dems. Sounds like a whole lot of serving the evil one going on up there...
Washington State over the past few years under Enslee has bankrupted itself with goodies and hand outs . Without a state income tax they have two choices... Close down these unaffordable programs and cut spending OR tax the crap out of EVERYTHING else which it appears they are trying to do. The list of proposed "transportation" taxes alone is astounding. Sales taxes are proposed to go up from the already high 9.5%.
Being Dems and always screaming about the rich paying their fair share, perhaps instead of taxing the middle class and poor out of their existence, MAYBE the West side millionaires and billionaires should pony up. The East side is dying on the vine.
These corrupt communist dems running the state need to go. WA voters are pretty passive, liberal & uninformed. Put that together with a corrupt voting system & this is what you get - one party ruin. Maybe we’ll get some federal help as the Trump administration cracks down in woke, sanctuary states.
Our sales tax rate here in our part of King County, WA is already 10.1%. Our property taxes are over one-third of our mortgage. I don't know how much longer we can hang on with the way taxes keep increasing.
Mrs. "the Knife"
Shall we send some suitcases.
"For their part, two of the liberal Justices wondered what the big deal was about making kids learn about legal alternative lifestyles, and fretted over creating ‘chaos’ by letting parents decide what materials their children can and can’t be exposed to."
This is precisely why the whole indoctrination system (school system) needs to be dismantled piece by piece. The whole darn thing.
None of it should stay. It is either that, or those of us that pay our property taxes need to stop paying them. And let's see if the 'King' will foreclose on everyone's homes property {I say the King, because the King (the 'government') still owns your property if you have to pay rent every year (property taxes)}. And then who will they loot from? Eff them. Who is John Galt?
Those two justices asking what’s the big deal “…about making kids learn about legal alternative lifestyles, and fretted over creating ‘chaos’ by letting parents decide what materials their children can and can’t be exposed to."
Well OK, then let’s teach the Bible again. That’s a legal alternative lifestyle too. Why should nonChristians create chaos by deciding what their kids can and can’t be exposed to??
Exactly!
But I can hear the fake screams and gnashing of teeth: "BUT WHAT ABOUT SEPERATION OF CHURCH AND STATE!!!".
And to that I will say that such a thing does not exist. Read the 1st Amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;..." For those intellectually challenged leftists, that do not know what that means, it means that Congress cannot make a "Church of England" style state religion by law.
I would also say, "Freedom OF religion, not Freedom FROM religion." Not to mention, we are a Christian nation founded on Judeo-Christian principles (old & new Testaments), where all religions are free to practice their faith, *BECAUSE we are a Christian nation.
*edit* addition of WHY they are free to practice their different faiths.
Exactly, but if we dig further into their separation of church and state argument it’s that they don’t believe the state should adopt and teach ANY one particular belief. And Trans and gender ideologies ARE a belief, not backed by science but backed by faith in its claims.
If you dig further you realize they have no understanding of the meaning of separation of church and state.
Because it doesn't exist within the text of the US Constitution. See my comments above.
That “legal” qualifier caught my attention too as very weak logic. The Ten Commandments are “legal”, for example, yet were removed from public schools.
“Legal” always comes with strings attached. It’s not legal to give children alcohol even though it’s legal for adults. It’s not legal for children to engage in sex or be exposed to porn even if it’s legal for adults.
So yea, they should dive into this faulty argument that “legal” means force-feed it to kids without parental consent.
The curriculum is abysmal & hasnt been changed in yrs except for this lgbtq stuff
Look at the latest average highest IQ study released., China 1 , Iran 4 Russia 6, US 30 (rankingroyals.com). IQ is not only genetics but also environment & what you learn, how to think creatively etc
It is all captured. I call it the "Educational Industrial Complex", and like all bureaucratic institutions, it is only designed to perpetuate itself, and in this case to not serve and help educate students so they can be productive members of society (math, reading, writing, real science, critical thinking, classical literature, real history, constitution, civics, etc.).
I think if we follow the money, we will see why things haven't improved... dismantle it all.
Why aren’t the lawyers and judges arguing the obvious: in the past they ruled we could not teach the Bible to kids in school because it infringed on their families’ religious freedoms and was considered indoctrination. These trans and gender books and lessons are teaching a belief system that we don’t share. How is that any different? Why aren’t they making this obvious point?
Great point, Juju. Tranny cult religion as well as their climate change cult religion. Same with their "Covid" cult with their jab and obedience mask wearing as their sacraments and the patron saint of Wuhan, lord Fraudci.
Everything these Marxists/globalists introduce/push is cult like.
Because they are serving the evil one, they cannot, will not, or even want to see the obvious. They don't want to let facts that are clear as day get in the way of their emotional arguments. To them, 2+2 does equal 5 and they believe it.
First and foremost, state (public) schools are indoctrination centers. That is their primary function. As for the skills of reading, writing and arithmetic necessary for life, the schools literally cannot even accomplish that! But that's not the controversy. The controversy is over the indoctrination. Why aren't the parents upset about the academic standards??? Because if they recognized the problem, they would have to do something about it and they can't give up the "free" schooling. Bottom line, the problem is the lazy parents!
You get what you pay for.... or don't.
THIS is the point I have been trying to make for the last 5 years. Some small % of parents woke up during covid and have pulled their kids. All of our area private schools have waitlists and homeschool co-ops are proliferating. But for those that remain, they prefer to shoot the messenger. Candidates for SB who run on a reform platform getting beaten down (and lose elections) by too many parents who deride them for "tearing down our excellent schools" or "disrespecting teachers" . They show up to meetings wearing I love my public school t-shirts. I stay in the fight despite ours being grown as I hate to see these people taking over our community, but it's an uphill battle on a good day.
Somehow, we have to attack this beast (government run schools, aka the 'public school system') through the funding mechanism. Funding is primarily through property taxes in most locals. Easier said than done, because what you point out Donna. I am open to suggestions. Many people refuse to see what Phil rightly points out, or if they do see it, they don't want to rock the boat or don't think there is anything that can be done. They are also too busy making a living trying to feed their family and pay their confiscatory property taxes...
I don't think "fixing" public schooling is possible. It's going to be up to each individual family to decide to submit their children to state indoctrination or to opt for private education or home school education.
I 100% agree. I do believe the best (and most likely way to succeed) way to attack it is through the funding angle. The bureaucracy of the education industrial complex is designed to perpetuate itself and indoctrinate all that are in it.
Individual funding needs to follow each child, not just "vouchers" and bureaucratic approval processes to grant someone home school or private school access. If parents would get that per pupil funding allotment out of the local district funding (because they are no longer needing it because child xyz is being home educated), then true competition and choice to the parents will be available to all parents. For that reason, the Democrat teachers' unions and administrators are so adamantly against it. It would also help blunt their election money laundering union tool usage.
Excellent
Agree 100%.
Parents shouldn’t just be able to opt out… those materials should be banned from public schools. They are promoting social transition in minors, which is confusing and evil. It serves no educational purpose.
Agreed, and short of the materials being banned (and we should accept nothing less, but until then), parents should have to opt in if they want their kids to get robbed of their identities, violated, and maimed for life, both physically and emotionally.
🎯
Is it just me or does the Montgomery County logo contain a a bull whip?
I live in the area of this school district and my local news has been talking about for a while. What Jeff didn't mention is that the district initially had an option to opt out but took it away because too many students were opting out and it "wasn't feasible" to give that many students alternate assignments. You just can't make this stuff up.
Zelensky’s globalist handlers are calling the shots. They want WW3 and Europe to collapse. America needs to GET OUT now.
Jpeach - Yes, I agree.
Russia is overflowing with natural resources many of which remain untouched. Any wonder Europe and its lizard leaders are circling the bear. Putin is a man for this time, as is Trump. May the Lord keep them safe.
Bravo.
NATO Quest for War with Russia
Posted Apr 24, 2025 By Martin Armstrong
NATO has heightened its alert level, placing fighter jets in the “highest state of readiness” in response to Russia’s aggressive strikes in Western Ukraine. The Armed Forces Operational Command confirmed that allied air forces have commenced patrols over Polish airspace near the Ukrainian border. Zelensky’s refusal to accept any peace deal demonstrates he is taking orders from NATO and the American Neocons, who, my sources say, are operating now out of Paris and London to ensure this war does not end. President Donald Trump on Wednesday lashed out at Ukraine’s president, saying Zelenskyy is prolonging the “killing field” after pushing back on ceding Crimea to Russia as part of a potential peace plan....
https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/ukraine/nato-quest-for-war-with-russia/
Just cut the funding already!
Maybe Trump should have done a better job picking his advisors and he wouldn't be getting jerked around by the permanent state goons.

INVASION SITREP — two Human Trafficking Popes Meet
As of 23 April 2025, there is zero indication invasions are ending. All compass needles point to temporary operational reductions.
Related: here in Panama, I see zero indication the United States is making any impacts on Chinese encroachment.
Any serious attack on our attackers would launch by immediately defunding United Nations…not DEFENDING United Nations. United Nations is still fully functional and funded. United States is openly defending and nurturing United Nations.

BORDER TRUTH
Chapter 9 China - People's Liberation Army
America has never been this vulnerable.
At the current pace of 1,500 deportations a day, we are looking at removing 50,000,000 illegal aliens in, wait for it, 100 YEARS!
The media is now being forced to cover the daily murders, rapes and assaults of Americans at the evil hands of the criminal illegal aliens.
And both parties are halting and obstructing every single deportation. The Democrats are actually flying to El Salvador demanding the return of a MS-13 gang banger! The Republicans will not fund the deportations leaving ICE and Border Patrol underfunded and lacking personnel.
Hidden in this whirlwind of lies and propaganda is the threat of criminals, terrorists and foreign military soldiers inside of our walls.
The Chinese PLA is here in America at the tune of 100,000 soldiers. I did not mistakenly add an extra zero. That number is correct. Just for the kicks of it let’s say I accidently added that extra zero - are you ok with 10,000 PLA soldiers inside America?...

Going to hear him speak tonight!
That is false. Listen to the interview
Time to get out of NATO??!?
NATO ceased to have a reason for existence when the USSR fell. Thus NATO and the NeoCons perpetuate the fear of the Soviet Union communists and constantly push the line that Putin intends to rebuild the Soviet Empire to justify their existence. They are looking for any excuse to launch a war with Russia and insist we can survive a nuclear war.
China knows that if they were to succeed in conquering Russia that they would be next in NATO's sights. China will fully back Russia in a war with NATO. These NeoCons are rabid megalomaniacs. They are clearly insane, evil people who have no care for humanity. If they draw us into such a war, expect the worst. Smart money and smart people are already fleeing Europe for the US and South America. If NATO pushes it, Russia will reduce Europe to radioactive dust out of self-preservation. The Russians are fighting for the very survival of their families.
You ain’t whistling Dixie
We started it. Well, the deep state started it. Why do you think trump keeps saying it never would have happened if he were president. He was going after the deep state, those that started it. Started over hiding evidence of their criminal behavior.
Right, we forced Putin to invade Ukraine with our mind-control lasers.
No, you fucking idiot, we built chemical weapons factories all over Ukraine, when we installed our pick for president in 2014, under obeyme. Most along Russias border. Then we built cia complexes on Russias border, the whole thing. Then trump was going to prosecute those in the the obeyme administration, give Ukraine back to Ukrainians, and with Putin’s help, destroy all that our deepstate did. Then you assholes stole the election, installed your retard, and started a war. Pretty fucking stupid if you ask me, and pretty fucking stupid for you to be so disingenuous.
> No, you fucking idiot, we built chemical weapons factories all over Ukraine,
You morons can't even keep your conspiracy theories straight.
> when we installed our pick for president in 2014
You do realize the "installed president", Poroshenko, was defeated by Zelensky in the 2019 election.
Well, judging by the rest of your comment, it sounds like you don't know much of anything.
That was an election? No dimwit, that was another installation. WTF is wrong with you? Have a problem taking responsibility for what’s been done to Ukraine with 12 years of democrat meddling, and another 8 of neocon meddling. WTF do you think we do over there? Try to open your eyes, maybe your brain a little. You won’t be able to watch MSNBC and learn this.
> That was an election? No dimwit, that was another installation.
No, that was an election.
Sound like your problem is that you suffer from the leftist version of American Exceptionalism, the belief that no one outside the US has any agency. Therefore anything that happens outside the US must be due to US meddling.
Can anyone give a reason why the Russians would agree to a ceasefire? They are winning and there is no incentive to allow Ukraine to regoup and rearm.
I believe we will see war in Western Europe within a short time period.
I hope so... Russia would kick their asses big time and they need it.
Europe has gone nutso.
Years ago I was responsible for hiring new pilots at a major airline. We wanted to change our interview process to include flying a simulator (can you fly?), a written test on basic aeronautical knowledge (do you know the science and rules?), a scenario-based simulation (can you work as a team and make decisions under stress?) and a personnel interview (do you fit our culture and will you do the job like we need it done?). Due to disparate impact rules from the EEOC and FAA, we had to implement the new process and use it for a year but during that year any of the changes to the old process could not be used to make a hiring decision. But we did have to document whether a failure of a candidate during any of the new process steps would have eliminated that candidate IF THE NEW INTERVIEW PROCESSES REALLY COUNTED. All of these was to determine disparate impact. Everyone in legal and HR lived in fear of this outcome.
Disparate impact for airlines was determined by the number of “people of color” or “women” (back when we knew the definition of a “woman”) who held an Airline Transport Rating (the prerequisite license for a wanna be airline pilot). If 7% (I chose that number out of thin air - don’t remember the actual %, but 7% is in the ballpark) of all ATPs were persons of color, then if 7% of the pilots’ seniority list at an airline were not POC, voila, that airline was discriminatory in their hiring practices.
The first airline to fail this test was United. So the Feds took control of their hiring process and had the final say on who they could and couldn’t hire. As a result, there was a feeding frenzy to recruit minorities and women by all other airlines. There just weren’t enough of them with an ATP to provide every airline with a seniority list that was 7% POC or female. Not every person with an ATP wants to be an airline pilot or is qualified to be an airline pilot. So if a POC candidate submitted an application, they went to the top of the list for an interview and a “recruitment” process began, rather than a “screening” process. No one wanted the Feds to functionally control their hiring process. You can see what sort of hiring decisions “recruitment” vs “screening for competence” led to. I could write a book on the craziness that ensued. As I’ve seen the effect of it, I’m very pleased to see disparate impact eliminated.
Wow. Thank you for your real life example of the impact of those policies!
And can explain why so many planes are falling from the skys.
I wouldn't have a problem with that if the only people the 7% could fly as passengers were people who support such flawed testing. Of course, they shouldn't be allowed to fly over my house either ... . 😎 🧑🏽✈️ ✈️ 🏘️ 🤠
Its funny you say that… my house sits underneath the major eastern departure path from the airport I flew out of. About our poor hiring decisions, I found myself saying many times, “I sure don’t want that person flying over my family’s home!”
Haha, yeah, I was an A&P back in my early days and some of the crews we launched made some of us say the same thing.
I’m having trouble visualizing Crimea as a Lion’s paw. 🐾?
Same. Italys boot, absolutely. Maybe if we close one eye and turn our head just...a... little....
Hahaha.
Me too! I found that description distracting. Looks nothing like it. Weird.
Yeah, it was a stretch for me too. I even squinted my eyes to see the "paw." How the heck did it get that descriptor?
Agreed!!!
Cookies? Oh my goodness!
Russia was shooting protestors in the head.
Selecting the president?
Their guy didn’t even get in office, as a reminder.
I'm having trouble seeing where Jeff is critical of Putin for demanding Ukraine turn over large parts of the country that Russia has no presence in otherwise the war continues?
Biden had the chance to stop the confrontation all Putin wanted was reassurance that there would be no NATO in Ukraine
Putin offered up multiple times he didn’t want to invade
But Biden errr Susan Rice (and the rest of Obama’s implants) wanted war and the rest is history
And they rejected a peace deal very early on. The deep state had a vested interest in the bioweapons labs and the human trafficking, and thought they could keep Putin from shutting them down.
NPR said Red State MAGA Nut Voters should LOVE the WAR as industry booms for them and the Dominoes of E. Europe would be spared from falling! SO i listen to what the Pro-War Fks in DeepState Media tell me to believe... and then remorselessly and resoundingly REJECT it.
The pentagon will be enjoying a record budget under our new administration, which most of us on this thread did not vote for.
sorry your girl lost.
Excellent!
1 trillion dollar war budget! This is amazing. I'm gonna make so much money on lockheed and boeing stock.
When failed foreign policy gives you lemons... make gallons and vats, and towers full of lemonade
That's utter Bs.
Ukraine wasn't eligible for Nato in 2022-still isn't today. Putin said he wasn't invading until his tanks were crossing the border.
It was never about Nato. It was all about subjugating Ukraine.
Yes, it was about ending the US deep state control of Ukraine.
How did that work out for Russia? Almost a million dead, trillions in lost military assets and nato has actually expanded as a direct result.
Russia has been made a laughing stock and has to be bailed out by the North Koreans.
lol
People are Russian and voted to join Russia after being attacked for years by Ukraine.
Who did? The people in Kyiv? Hostomel? Bucha?
Kherson?
None of them did. The only people who "voted" were those who had a gun to their backs where the Russian army was.
Russia claims all of Ukraine, FYI.
Russia started the entire war in 2014 with the first invasion. Because nobody stopped Putin the first time the second war started.
2014 was the Nazi coup that overthrew the Democracy in Ukraine, then threatened Russian border, bombing the Russian people in the Donbass outlawing their religion and language. Russians played a waiting game as NATO threatened its borders and made a peace deal with Zelensky which Britain tore up.
A coup means the military turned on yanuckovych, that didn’t happen. He fled when the rada impeached him and hewent to Moscow with a ton of money that was never found.
Russia wasn’t threatened.
The “Russian people” in eastern Ukraine were Russian soldiers. Igor girkin was the FSB guy who orchestrated it.
There was never any peace deal.
Remember, Putin loves the Covid vaccine so be sure to get it. He’s gotten multiple shots and says it’s the best ever.
It was a military operation with snipers
Yes, there were actual snipers from
The Berkut unit, ordered by yanuckovych, who opened fire on protestors.
They’ve been hunting those guys down for years.
“The Heavenly hundred”.
Why was US State Dept handing out cookies and choosing the next President YATS? Doesn't sound like a domestic revolt but a color revolution.
Boris Johnson and Justin Trudeau also went to lean on Zelensky to disengage in the offered peace talks!
wow
Never was any peace talks.
Just like the last 7 agreements with Russia they're all not even worth the paper they are written on.
Russia is not the enemy.
You might want to check on that.
The FSB put out a calendar where the us was being bombed and it was in Syria that Putin’s private army attacked American soldiers leading to the deaths of hundreds of Russians.
Get off dat blu koolaid bruh
What happened to the Budapest memorandum?
Azov sea treaty?
Russ-Ukrainian friendship?
Minsk 1?
Minsk 2?
I can go on. Russia has violated every agreement and treaty they signed with Ukraine.
Dude it was NATO that violated their own rules
Get educated not indoctrinated
Of course you do.
I generally call out hypocrisy when I see it.
Remember when Jeff claimed "100-200 top Nato and Ukrainian generals" were dead in a Russian strike?
Yeah..that never happened.
Someone needs their daily dose of Blusky
I don't eve know what that is.
Did everyone see this study suggesting that getting two clot shots reduces life expectancy by 37%? Those who survive the first two to get 3+ clot shots have life expectancy reduced by 17%

Many of us have learned that all vaccines are worthless, if not deadly. Then again, many of the people will never make that leap.
I won't even let the Vet administer shots to my cat anymore.
We have a cat that is so difficult around most people she hasn’t been to the vet for shots in at least 15 years. We had to take her last week for an infected paw. She is 23 and the young vet (25) says she the oldest cat she ever seen!! Thankfully they didn’t suggest any vaccines.
Why would anyone vaccinate a 23 yr old cat?
They could have recommended a rabies because she goes outside. Of course I would have refused.
It's Law In Illinois. 😡
I had read years before cov💉 that even animals experienced more problems from vaccines than without.
Recently, I know of five animals who have gotten tumors at injection sites. Several of them have died and they shave been told that’s common to get a tumor where they get injections. HELLO!! Also I’ve heard that they do not base them on weight 100 pound dog gets the same amount as a 15 pound dog.
kitties especially, vaccine site sarcomas usually by the neck. Find a holistic/integrative/functional vet-they are just wonderful and avoid big harma as much as possible. They practice totally different than allopathic vet med. Here is a website to find holistic vet: https://www.ahvma.org/find-a-holistic-veterinarian/#!directory/map/ord=lnm or you can google holistic vets in your area. Once you experience this kind of medicine, you won't go back to your GP allopathic vet.
Thanks for this link! I was happy to see three in under a 20 min drive from us and closer. 👍
Yay!!!
Absolutely!
Sadly, I tried that source for 2 different areas in the US. Both had holistic vets identified, but I found they could not be located anymore or closed shop.
Pamela, try just googling, "holistic vets in (your city)". That may work to find you one.
They can have many adverse events along with products like topical flea and tick preventatives; you just don't hear about it. Vaccinosis is the definition. Rabies only one required by law. Get Rabies titer instead. I was vaccinated for Rabies in 2004 and still holding an adequate blood titer to this day.
When you see what witches beew is in those shots, as well as the human stuff, no wonder. Its justna money maker.
Indeed they do! If one stops bombarding them with all the poisons and feeds real food they are so much healthier and less expensive over the long term.
Did you notice life expectancy of our animals are almost cut in half in my lifetime…..!….I say that because my Australian friends animals live to almost 20, and they don’t get pumped with shots..Might also say if you spray your house for bugs that too shortens any animal living in the house….
avoid flea products topical or oral as they can cause neuro effects. Karen Becker and Vital Animal have ways for flea/tick prevention without exposing pets to these awful insecticides. the bagged food is terrible as well. fresh food is the best like Farmer's Dog or making your own like using balanceit.com
Isn’t it always about the money?
actually not always. There are many vets (mostly holistic ones) that are calling for less jab exposure but, you know how that goes. Too many vets are blue pilled listening to the narratives of the AVMA and follow algorithms. There is a loss of common sense and they do not know how to think outside the box. This is why I recommend holistic vets, totally different than what we are used to getting. An article that was posted on the AVMA daily blog that blamed rural Americans and Republicans for vaccine hesitancy in relation to the Avian Influenza so called crisis and the AVMA is blaming Trump for loss of vet jobs at the FDA/CDC etc. So you can see how left they are and they are all for One Health as well.
Unless yr animal has some serious injury I would try taking care of my dog myself as I learned to do but it takes time &; you have to learn to trust yrself.
Vets are trained to give vaxxes & meds.
Not all vets thank goodness. The holistic vets are on a whole different wave length and provide non invasive modalities such as acupuncture, laser therapy, flower essenses/essential oils, chiropractic, nutrition recipes and the list goes on. This is why I advocate for holistic vets and get away from allopathic. What the public does not realize is that most vets now work on commission which is just a horrible business model in my opinion.
My cocker never got fleas. She had no shots & no allergies. I never fed her that expensuve “dog food” which is loaded with toxins. If you stop now using those toxic products -its never too late. I learned that when arthritis meds, shots & toxic waste dog food lamed my first cocker.
I’ve been using FurLife flea and tick collar (essential oils) and it’s been working.
This is what we have used to get rid of fleas in the house. It's more work than bombing but....
Yes. I'll never allow my animals to be vaccinated again.
But If your pet happens to bite someone, and hasn’t had a rabies vaccination, the state can euthanize your pet. I wonder if that is still true.
They can place the pet in quarantine for about 10-15 days depending on what state you live in and see if they break with Rabies.
I have cats and they've all had a rabies shot. They'll never have any more. I follow a holistic vet now, who says giving rabies shots every couple of years is unnecessary. He also talked about seeing a lot of vaccine injured animals in his practice.
Same!
Same. Dogs don’t go to the vet for anything except emergency.
Same for me
VA still offering the covid DeathVax to veterans including pregnant veteran.s
I have to keep posting this just in case someone has a family member that has VA health care and may be intimidated into getting another shot.
Kathleen, have you been able to get in touch with Col (Secretary) Collins? I don't have 'social media', otherwise I would try to get the info to him via that route. Perhaps Tucker or better yet Carl Higbie (Navy Seal that I believe uses the VA) from Newsmax (on at the 5pm slot). I know he would take up the issue. Also, I also think that Rob Schmitt, Rob Finnerty, or Greg Kelly (all patriots) would take up the cause.
I have contacted Sec. of Veterans Affairs numerous times on X.
Different issues:
1. the VA still using the term "pregnant people" on their website
2. continued use of the covid DeathVax
3. VA had safety signals triggered about the covid shots for myocarditis
4. one my blood pressure meds being made in communist China
5. VA denial of disability claims to veterans who were injured while on active duty after being forced to take the covid DeathVax.
Radio silence.
No response. He doesn't read or respond to any inquires to him from myself or any other veteran.
I will give a shot contacting the other names you listed. Thank you.
Still requires masking on web sight.
I just contacted Carl Higbie on X. https://x.com/KJanoski50502/status/1915410900497899529
Excellent. He is not jabbed either which he mentioned it again last night. Also, he is fighting NY/NYC (lawsuit) to get his concealed carry license (or should I say permission slip) for NY/NYC as a CT citizen.
Keep posting in the main feed please. I've seen this myself.
RFK is too busy getting rid of food dyes that have been used forever... not a bad idea... but compared to the Covid death-jabs, proven killers... still on the infant jab schedule?!?!?
And how about revoking the illegally applied liability shields for Big Pharma, so that the millions of vax-injured can obtain some justice/compensation?
Back burner? Or more likely... completely off the table!
Yes well to many, lifelong autoimmune disease and other chronic problems are great as long as measles, mumps, whooping cough and polio can be kept away
I had measles and mumps when I was a kid and I am not dead.
Me too. Measles and chickenpox.
I had mumps. chicken pox, and both kinds of measles - the 3-day and the two week. The latter was very serious, but yes, I survived.
But they can’t be kept away. Renamed polio Guillain Barre, measles outbreak among the vaccinated, etc.
We just won't take them anymore!
I know ppl who have survived whooping cough, measels, and polio is not a defined disease much like Covid. See a 'not' mainstream history. I'm afraid you are still sold to pharma.
I did some quick research about rabies in Maryland, where I live, and found that in 2024 there were 204 cases in my state, mostly raccoons or skunks and most cases were in Frederick County, which is in the west of the state. Frederick County is in the mountains and very rural, also. The chart I found said no dogs had tested positive for rabies in 2024 in the entire state. (I am not sure if this is because of the rabies vaccination but I find it very hard to believe that all the pit bulls in Baltimore City are up to date on their rabies vaccination.) Then I searched for how many pets there are in MD. Funny, how google doesn't give you a number but instead says that about half of all "households" in MD own a pet. So I searched that info and there are 2.4 million+ households in MD, so that means that out of over a million pets, only 204 cases of rabies were found and it was mostly wild animals. It really puts into perspective the actual "problem". I did this same thing during the scamdemic to disprove the MSM hysteria about COVID cases.
It’s great to see that RFK Jr. is starting his attack against the COVID vaccines. I know he’s a busy guy but, this Chemtrail / Geo Engineering poisoning needs to STOP. The skies above central MD yesterday were full of fake clouds and chemtrail jets.
I decided to trigger the Nextdoor liberals a couple of days ago by posting an article about Kennedy saying covid shots should be removed from the childhood schedule. I don't mind being called names, but it is discouraging to see how many people are still ignorant. How can they not see what is happening?? I post these things hoping that perhaps one person might be led to do some research and learn the truth.
I, too posted on Nextdoor recently about signing a petition to stop the clot shots and wow did the libtards come out in droves! I was told this wasn’t the place for politics (unless of course I swung the other way and then it would’ve been applauded) and people practically begging for more shots. It was very discouraging. I have since deleted that account. Life is too short -time to kick the dust of my sandals and move on.
Reading articles how the Covid vaccine has created brain damage. Hard to do research and learn the truth with brain damage.
Check out the IMA aka FLCCC weekly Zoom meetings at 7pm EST every Wednesday for one hour. The doctors go over the harms of all these vax and offer help to those with spike protein problems. Best one hour of my week!
We do watch those. I miss Dr. Kory. My husband and I actually met him, Dr. Marik and Dr. Been (Mobeen Syed) several years ago.
Yes, there is that problem, Jpeach.
Sadly true
But it is self limiting.

Keep doin' it ! I posted about this also ..... the "fam" already isn't speaking in my general direction, so what dif does it make?

They are the Mrs Kravitz's of these times lol. My husband reads me some of the stuff. Reminds me of the high school mean girls clique
very apt description!!!

Damn, Where's my bottle of Grey goose??
😂 and 😭 Yes quite unbelievable at this point.
Wouldn't chemtrails fall under EPA's domain?
Apparently its a wild wild westn& no one policing. Hear abt the company selling sulfur dioxide ballons to release? On X
I believe Jeff covered that on his substack awhile back
Zeldin has opened an investigation into this.
One would think so, but I called them and got a prerecorded gaslighting message about “contrails “ and “there is no evidence of harmful substances being sprayed into the atmosphere”.
I thought Jeff had shared something about the EPA or Sec of Ag making headway in this area, but so much is going on that I can't keep it all straight. 😜
I think it is more accurate to say an appearance is being made to look like "so much is going on" but in reality, not a lot of rubber is hitting the road. I saw a report that dug into DOGE's findings, and at the end of the day, in reality, total cost savings are $12 billion. (Solari Report)
I'm glad that the DOGE team is working for free as is Trump. And a $12 billion in savings is better than another trillion the other direction. I'll take every win we can get no matter how small.
I look at whatever is being saved as a bonus. $12 billion is a lot of money but what's most important is the fraud that was discovered and the agencies that were disbanded like USAID. That stopped the money train. There is more to what DOGE is doing that is beneficial than just the dollars saved.
Gotcha. 👍
In Florida
Oh okay....It was banned in TN last year.
EPA acknowledges KS does it. A friend got referred me to the KS Water Office. Here is their response according to her: "It’s my understand that you’re interested materials used for cloud seeding efforts. Silver iodide and dry ice have been the historic cloud seeding agents found to be utilized for weather modification activities for state permitted cloud seeding efforts, with the last permits issued and applied for being in 2016 in western Kansas." Pretty sure she got that much without a FOIA (KORA for KS)
We need to leave the weather alone. It had been doing just fine for years and years. Mother Nature will come back with vengeance if we do not.
HAARP is something that needs to be investigated and made public...
Ditto the possible use of directed energy weapons in Maui and Los Angeles...
So exhausted by the poisoning in our skies. I'm glad it is becoming a more mainstream topic and many states have proposed bills to stop it (whether or not they have adequate enforcement mechanisms is another issue)
I just watched him give a live speech to an audience, in which he spoke frankly about his early addiction to illegal drugs.
I think its the most important. It being stepped up in
PA. Is there a web site for reporting?
Yes, I did. How many of them will never even take a first Social Security check? Between the clot shot and DOGE, the SS treasury will be swimming in money.
I'm not sure that wasn't part of the plan.
When husband came home and announced this outbreak-of-deadly-disease-in-China news (so what? Jan? Feb? '20) my first two thoughts were : Chinese bio-weapon, and this will save the Social Security funding problem.
What they dont tell you is that the shot was developed with US funds by Prof Ralph Baric at Univ of N Carolina. He is still there. His papers are on pubmed.irg. Take a look. Its free.
Learned of the estimable Ralph back in ‘21—-but thanks.
Same
Exactly!....Save SS, Medicare and the pensions that they already spent.
There is evidence that the SS story is just that - a story, and there is actually a reasonable explanation for what has happened. That was on Money and Markets report from Solari.
Thanks! The Italian paper is quite good. A number of these types of papers have been around for a few years.
Interesting that they found significant effects with even one dose of the covid poison shot
Dr. Linda, you may be interested in this new published paper by distinguished docs like Peter McCullough and Jessica Rose. The IMA aka FLCCC zoom call discussed this last night. It is unbelievable what they have found. https://cardiovascular-research-and-innovation.reseaprojournals.com/Articles/myocarditis-after-sars-cov-2-infection-and-covid-19-vaccination-epidemiology-outcomes-and-new-perspectives
Thanks, it is already in my read pile. : )
And what a read it is. You will be gobsmacked.
Apologies, I wasn’t clear. I had read it. It was a good paper.
Don’t need any studies to know that the mRNA shots are poison which destroys health and/or kills. For years now, I have seen endless posts about how terrible these injections are. I’m glad they keep sharing this info, but I suspect they’re preaching to the choir…the same people keep reading SS; but most people don’t. These injections are bad. The End. Can’t we move on to everyone refusing them? It’s all about selling a product to make a big profit. Wouldn’t it be great if our government stopped funding all these shots?
VA still buying the covid DeathVax and offering it to veterans including pregnant veterans.
Yes, I know. No surprise, as, after all, the whole Covid19 scamdemic was run by the DoD. My husband goes to VA clinic annually for blood work and is always offered all the shots. He declines all, of course.
Sickening
Agreed but they are good to read. It helps those who are resistant to come around
For me, they are not ‘good to read’, as I don’t trust them. At all.
That’s fine. Don’t read them.
Bloody hell...as a reminder most of the shots available to Americans were 2 shot series "vaccines"-pfizer and moderna.
Does it mention anything about boosters?
Astra zenica used a chimpanzee vector CH in their shot. after all the issues with Sv 40, a known cancer promoter from monkey kidneys used in the polio shots! Monkey virus cell lines Vero, still in use. I think thats why they switched to fetal kidney cells which contain the DNA including the sex determining gene from that baby. They call it “contamination”
That's a half life and with misery. 😭😡
I find it so puzzling that my 95 year old dad had three shots and is fine. It’s almost like the damage it does to younger bodies helps the older bodies 🤷🏻♀️
Hopefully he received saline.
There are actually "hot lots" which are vaxxine batches more deadly than others.
https://knollfrank.github.io/HowBadIsMyBatch/HowBadIsMyBatch.html
This can help find those bad batches.
I wonder if there have been any studies on the areas that had the most vax injuries and correlation of red vs blue areas or states?
Medical researchers would have to admit that there are vaxxine injuries in the first place.
Very true.
"Red vs. blue" might not give accurate results. I am very "red", my husband too, but we were both duped into 2 Pfizer shots before enough info came out. He suffered a massive stroke in January 2025. Now has aphasia (inability to speak) and loss of use of right arm/hand. Try just five minutes functioning with one hand tied up; he's got a lifetime of it now (we are "only" 65 yrs old).
look up Midwestern Doc DMSO remedy for stroke. Your husband can regain some of that function i hope . And lifewave patches for brain balancing.
I'm so sorry this happened to your husband. Prayers for healing. My heart hurts for you.
Yes
Batch heterogeneity may play a part in this. But you are right, look at the myocarditis impact on young people.
My aunt who is in her 70's had a myocarditis induced heart attack 2 weeks after her 3rd shot. So it seems that the batch has a great deal to do with it. She had zero blockages and her cardiologist actually blamed the MRNA shots.
Robin, you may be interested in this new study by Peter McCullough and Jessica Rose. We were on a zoon call last night with this as the topic via IMA aka FLCCC.
https://cardiovascular-research-and-innovation.reseaprojournals.com/Articles/myocarditis-after-sars-cov-2-infection-and-covid-19-vaccination-epidemiology-outcomes-and-new-perspectives
Thank you for sharing this. I really enjoy Dr. McCullough.
I read this awhile ago about the danger of all vaccines, and another stack that cited a Japanese study showing the harm from the jab.
https://open.substack.com/pub/2ndsmartestguyintheworld/p/all-vaccines-will-kill-you-vaccines?r=1657tz&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email
I think that quality control made a big difference in adverse events. There definitely were some bad batches that caused many of the immediate deaths. And I’m betting that group of nurses in a hospital all having brain tumors that are ‘definitely not related’ all got the same batch. All of the covid vaccines carry a lot of risk, but some worse than others.
Fairly early on, I saw a video of a pharmacist who was involved in product review and evaluation. She explained very clearly how there was NO WAY the mRNA clot shots could be produced in a consistent, predictable manner. And that, of course, has been more than demonstrated by the "hot lots." This, of course, is not an argument for "fixing" the process and taking a "better" clot shot.
I think the various bits of "garbage" DNA bits that have been discovered in the shots might determine some of the ill effect a batch will produce.
All batches were bad, but some were worse
Do you have access to the batch number of your father's shots? Such that you could run it through Craig Pardekooper's program and see how relatively low-toxic/high-toxic father's shots were.
Do you know how someone would even find out their batch number?
It should be on your immunization card.
Thanks. I never got the jab. But wondering for family who did.
My understanding—from reading only—is that it is printed on the vax card (which all vaxees had to carry at all times back in ‘21). Otherwise, one might call one’s doctor, or the pharmacy where one received it, providing them with date of injections, and time of day if possible. Just my best guess.
I know a 103 year old woman who is also fine; however, my aunt in her 70's had a myocarditis induced heart attack 2 weeks following her 3rd shot. It seems that the batch makes a huge difference.
I often wonder if the jab is what killed Betty White. I know she was 99, but was in great health. Up until jab time. :(
One has to wonder.
Batches were extremely inconsistent. Another factor is how people were jabbed (into a vein or the muscle).
It makes sense to me that the better condition one's immune system is, regardless of age, the more sensitive it may be to responding to the adjuvants(LNP's) and mRNA itself. So, if you're 95 and your immune system has trailed off for years(as it does as you age) you may be better off than someone, of any age, with an immune system hitting on all cylinders.
But I am an engineer. . . grain of salt required here.
You may find this of interest:
https://cardiovascular-research-and-innovation.reseaprojournals.com/Articles/myocarditis-after-sars-cov-2-infection-and-covid-19-vaccination-epidemiology-outcomes-and-new-perspectives
YES; aware of this. Likely, something in the dark recesses of my spike-adled brain reflected that knowledge. thanks.
If your immune system is weak, as in older people, then maybe you are spared some of the effects of the gene therapy?
Please read this new published paper that has found reactions from the jab may not occur for a few years out and why. I am so glad to hear that your dad is doing fine!
https://cardiovascular-research-and-innovation.reseaprojournals.com/Articles/myocarditis-after-sars-cov-2-infection-and-covid-19-vaccination-epidemiology-outcomes-and-new-perspectives
I think older persons just have a more "developed" natural immune system, after having been exposed to Heaven-knows over the years. The shots devastated immune system function, so for younger persons this was more detrimental as nature was still developing immunities by natural infection and recovery.
A few years ago, a numbers guy who works with Ed Dowd stated in a Ron Johnson roundtable this very statistic. He also stated the rate was higher for those who stopped at 1 shot. The thought was that their reaction was so bad, they didn't go back for a second shot. Those people may have gotten a shot that was a "bad batch" shot.
Are you saying 37% for 2 and then 54% (37+17) for 3?
No. It was about 37% for 3 or more at the time of the roundtable. But they found a higher rate for those who stopped at one. The shots are not all the same. Some have much more RNA while others are saline. If someone went to get their 2 shots, had a bad reaction after the first one, then they wouldn't go back for the second. They got a heavy dose on the first shot and therefore, more damaging toxins to their body. The manufacturing process was so rushed, there was a lot of variety that went into each vial and even each syringe.
Likewise, if someone went for their first shot, had no problem, they would readily go for their second shot. With each additional shot, your chances of getting a bad batch goes up.
My understanding is that it is NOT cumulative. Those healthy enough to survive a few shots live through more but on the whole are still affected. I think its because the first two are often given closer together
I’ve been fighting the pornographic books in schools fight since 2021. I am so encouraged by SCOTUS this week. Our district (in N Colorado) went so far as to return Gender Queer to the shelves at the Middle School level. 🤦♀️. Hopefully this ruling will help get it removed once and for all.
I stood against a book the teacher was reading to her classroom of THIRD GRADERS back about 15-20 years ago! It included a graphic rape scene! Apparently me and one other parent objected. The school administrators and teacher was shocked we had a problem with it - “no other parents have ever complained” was what we were told. Instead of rethink this book (which was on the scholastic award winners list 😒) my son (and the other kid) had to go wait in the hall while the teacher continued reading the book in class 🤮 Disgusting! Shameful! They’ve been pushing this crap a lot longer than we realize. We’ve been the frog in the pot being slow boiled 😞
One method that often "works" for school administrators is to read the portions aloud TO them. Or better...have THEM read it out loud.
If they don't flinch, get the heck out!
As Jeff mentioned, most parents are clueless what happens at school. It’s free childcare and they give the schools the benefit of the doubt.
What age would this be please? Mystified by the system in the US!
Third grade in the US is typically 8-9 years old.
8 years old.
The thing that kills me Nard is that the people screaming no book bans and supporting filth like Gender Queer haven't even looked at them. I sent excerpts to several local politicians and our Governor and challenged them to read them out loud to their children and grand children. I also asked why they thought the pictures were cartoon drawings and not real life depictions.
They all admitted they hadn't actually seen the books. They were appalled and couldn't imagine why anyone would think a child should read these books.
Last year the Governor signed a bill requiring the books to be moved to an area for adults only and they cannot be checked out without the parents permission. The librarians can be held responsible and fined if they didn't comply within 60 days of a complaint of inappropriate contract. Librarians complained they didn't have time to review the books they were purchasing.
The libtards in town struck back by filing to remove the Bible ( actually ban it) and closing the smaller libraries because they just" didn't have the ability to police the books".
Of course their arguments prior were" no banning books" and" children must have access to libraries".
I see a big problem is in the information warfare. One side sees the book banning being of porographic books while the other side sees it as "To Kill a Mockingbird" Barnes and Noble had a "banned book" display and none were the gender affirming or sexual children's books that parents are screaming about. Most were classic books.
The libretardS want the classics banned. Can’t have the kids smarter than the parents.
💯
😥
🙏🏼
Likely will be ignored
PSD has made national news for transitioning kids behind parents’ backs. If they don’t remove the book, they will likely find themselves in the national spotlight once again.
Good morning!! Everyone have a blessed Thursday!!
I'm starting to think the veiled threats Adam Shift launched at Pam Bondi during her confirmation hearing scored some direct hits. Now into month # 4 and no significant charges among all of the exposed government corruption. Charging a few gang guys and a DA who tried to take down DJT is good, but come on, is that the best the thousands of vaunted DoJ attorneys can do?
I wonder if anyone has been charged with anything.
You need to let GOD do HIS work. It has been 4 months or dear!!! How long did it take to get here...a whole lot longer than 4 months. You should have been complaining a LONG time ago. We the people let our country get in this condition it's in so buckle up buttercup and let GOD clean up this mess on HIS time and HIS way. HE gave us a 2nd chance. Have faith, patience and belief
I understand that too - but the justice system seems to move in fast forward when they are prosecuting innocent conservatives. There seemed to be no lag time when Trump was in their crosshairs, or Bannon got thrown in jail, or when innocent families are swatted several times. J6ers may disagree that it takes time to prosecute people since they were thrown in prison based on no evidence or falsified crap at the speed of light. Why does THAT seem to move so fast? They already knew who these people were before taking office. How long should we be patient? What will be the mantra if we see no actual prosecutions and these people walk away with all their criminal money?
Yes but many of those same people are still in their same positions and they are not pro-MAGA and will now slow everything down rather than speed up. They were never neutral. That is not Pam’s fault. She is up against a lot of corruption from within, and at the very least many liberal hearts and minds that care more about stopping anything she wants no matter if it’s right and good, so they will be resistant in their work.
Yeah they are still cleaning house and getting whose remaining to understand their job is to support the president. Still frustrating to wait, but I just heard this from my husband yesterday. So I unfortunately agree we have to still be patient.
I've been complaining since 2003 when GW invaded Iraq, 5,000 miles from our shores, for bogus reasons. Thousands of Americans killed & injured, millions of civilians killed and injured, trillions of taxpayer dollars wasted, and GW still walking free. Hillary still spouting trash around the world after destroying Libya. They should be turned over to the Hague for war crimes. Then start working in the bureaucrats en masse.
But let's be patient. That's the mantra of enablers of corruption. You & your patient ilk may be part of the problem.
Obama on prosecuting W for war crimes: "We need to look forward not backward." Of course - because he was about to become a war criminal himself.
Yep, and Slick Willie bombed Bosnia for no good reasons. But let's be patient, said the worn-out rug.
Yes, Buttercup carolyn has her head up her culo...
Israel did 911... to get Cheney and his sock puppet Bush to destroy Iraq.
They are actively trying to push Trump into a war on Iran.
https://www.unz.com/article/israel-did-9-11/
Nonsense. Did God clean up North Carolina after Helene? Did he prevent the 17 MILLION deaths worldwide from the Covid Vax? How about the massive child trafficking and rape? The Biden Regime FUBAR? Etc etc...
Trump is still actively supporting the mass-murder and land thefts of Israel in Gaza and elsewhere... even bombing Yemen at their direction. He refuses to return Russia's stolen reserves and to end the sanctions against them that were placed for totally bogus reasons. The CIA destroyed Russia's Nord Stream pipelines, will Trump rebuild them?
RFK refused to come out early and call for the banning of all mRNA jabs, especially for kids. He has openly called Palestinians "the most pampered people in the world", as he kissed the vile rabbi Shmuley's ass...
Bondi has quashed the promised release of the Epstein, 911 and JFK files, all due to pressure from AIPAC. Where is the P. Diddy information??
Kash and Bongino have said their main gold is supporting Israel! Rubio is a Zionist supporting assclown, Waltz is a neocon warmonger and a damned moron. Hegseth is junior varsity and a stone liar.
I have hopes... but... Wake up, Buttercup!
I’m waiting!! I’m trying to give a solid 6-8 months before I lose hope. I know they are fighting on all fronts .
I can assure you, if I am wrong, which I hope I am, I will shout my apologies from the mountain-top.
Trump is supporting the genocide of Palestinians... should we allow the Zionist's mass-murder to continue for 6-8 months?
Tish Gaines is on the ropes. A small victory but it's a start.
Who is Tish Gaines?
Regarding Zelenskyy: I happened to catch the 2 sec clip of 60 Minutes a couple of days ago.
What I heard was “Trump boasted the Ukraine Russian war would be over before the election”
I went no further. I believe it was going to be a head on slam against Trump (duh). I have to wonder if Zelensky is being paid by global elites to be this difficult.
I see Jeff brought this up as well
“-Zelensky and the oligarchs really calling the shots—“
Trump allowed Biden's weapons and money to continue to flow. He is still allowing intelligence and targeting info to aid Ukraine. Trump is definitely part of the problem. He's been in office for 3 months now.
Cut off all funds, to Ukraine and to Israel. And then keep cutting funds for any foreign military.
Trump seems to have forgotten that he armed Ukraine during his first term. He gave them javelins to shoot at Russians and Ukrainian citizens in the Donbas.
Zelensky is an illegitimate president and he has no authority to make any deal with Putin.
Trump also ignores the fact that this is a US proxy war against Russia. If he wants to end it he just needs to walk away.
Ah, yes. Zelensky is being "difficult" by refusing to consent to his country's destruction.
The demoralized DIEvy League is collapsing. Columbia appointed a new president who is a former CNN propagandist. Brown promoted the DEI dean of its medical school to become VP of campus life: https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/claire-shipman-columbia-president
Ugh. Columbia is such a cesspool. I guess they all are.
I think all Ivy league and Eastern Universities are... with very few exceptions.
Geez, dean of the medical school-no wonder hospitals and docs are killing us as they are more interested in DEI than sound medical practice.
Big Pharma OWNS almost all medical schools.
along with the major pet food companies and AVMA has a very vocal lobby.
Ukraine: Why doesn’t Trump keep it simple, and just end all funding and support to Ukraine? Who cares what Zelensky wants to do? Just tell him he’s on his own. Now. Completely. None of our business.
I like your suggestion, Cathleen, but I think the reason Trump hasn't pulled out (yet) is he's still hoping to make some profit out of the outcome. First it was the rare minerals lease; now it's the big nuke power plant he wants to take over.
Apparently Trump (and his advisors) don't realize the US doesn't really have cards to play against Russia.
I have a better idea. How about we deport all scumbags like you to El Salvador. No due process necessary.
Imagine a high school with 1,000 students, but only 10 black students. (And the make-up isn't because of discrimination; it's just that not very many black families live in the area.) Let's say that there is one black student that is getting in trouble all the time, cutting class, getting in fights, etc. The federal government actually tells that school that they are risking federal funding because they are giving detention to a disproportionate percentage of black kids as compared to white kids since the rate in black students is 10%, but the rate in white students is less than that if fewer than 99 white students are getting detention.
The school's reaction is to either start giving out more detention to white kids, or to be more lenient with the disruptive one black student.
This is not a hypothetical situation.
Correct. This was established as a policy by Obama. I didn't remember what its name is but something like the Bush's "no child left behind"
Children deserve a childhood, not groomed by some pervert. Who writes LGBTQ books for children?
I know, right??
I am thinking someone who is LGBTQ???
I noticed the last name of the illustrator for the book Jeff posted is " twink" . Definition: (among gay men) a gay or bisexual young man with a slim build and youthful appearance.
Many gays and lesbians are speaking out and separating themselves from the lgbtqi movement because they believe it has been hijacked by pedophiles intent on normalizing pedophilia and grooming children to accept it. I couldn't agree more.
The evil books in schools ‘opt’out’ thing - Parents should not have to opt out…these books shouldn’t be in school in the first place.
