Joe Biden can go jump in a lake. I am so incredibly sick of that man and his nonsense. I think he is going to have to be replaced by AI pretty soon because he is so out of it. Also, I care more about the lives of the yellow jacket wasps that I am going to have to kill than I do about anything that happens in Hollyweird. Strike away!!
On an unrelated note, positive thoughts and prayers would be appreciated. Today would have been my mom's birthday. She's been gone 7.5 years from ALS. This day is really, really hard for my dad and also for me. I miss her so much. Thanks in advance.
This AI crap freaks me out. And as a parent whose daughter leaves next month for college to pursue a degree in Broadcasting and Media Production, I’ll be damned if they wanna use her likeness in that way. 🤬
Sending lots of hugs and more love to you and your dad today! Praying for peace that passes understanding for you both. May the good Lord, in His infinite glory give you both an indescrible helping of grace and mercy to overwhelm you with His love! He is sufficient. He is enough. May your memories become sweeter and more cherished as each year passes.

A difficult time of remembering and missing for me as well. It’s hard, too, because the memories of my beloved’s illness saga seems to overshadow all the other memories I struggle and pray to recollect. I love to hear the stories — they help me to remember. Ten years this year.
Seems every season is colored by a death & loss saga now. I’m not so old, but God deepened me in a few year’s blitz.
Take care and God Bless, comfort and keep you, Four Winds, and many others carrying the grief and loss which never leaves.
Thank you, RL & SBE 🌻I didn’t intend to be so much about me (as it seems when I read it), but more of a giving of my heart to one who cared for a loved one (or three) through their lengthy illness and suffering, only to lose them in the end. The strongest memories seem to be of those last terrible days, as all other moments become so hard to recall. It’s a thing I’ve never seen discussed — as an ongoing part of that special part of grief. Saddening not to remember them from before the trauma began. Why people’s stories —.those less immediately involved, but who deeply loved & miss them too are so treasured. Such a gift for those in the land of the new normal.
Perhaps it’s a kind of ptsd? Dunno. But God — Jesus — has listened to endless hours of recollections and feelings from *that time*. He is the best councilor by far. Ever faithful. And I am thriving under His ministrations since. He gives dreams as well. Love abounding. Overflowing. Flowing out in love to others. Though I feel the loss every day, He fills it with great joy and often small, lovely gifts. Like signs. Or winks. ...And people.
"Dick" (that was your husband--correct?)--when we are young and full of "stuff" and so busy building our lives...we really do NOT understand the Man of Sorrows and what Jesus does for His brothers and sisters in THEIR time of "going through the valley of the shadow". Remember in Scripture when Jesus went to Bethany to visit his dear friends, Lazarus, Mary & Martha--and when Jesus approached their home and Mary ran out to greet her friend, Jesus (whom she knew was also her Savior) Scripture says that Jesus "groaned" within himself at the knowledge of Lazarus' death (they were very, very close friends during Jesus earthly existence). JESUS GROANS while we weep, Dick--and His groaning is SO precious to our souls!
(Yep, that’s correct. He was a friend to all and a lover of God and His Word. He was also full of life and fun and imagination..He never got to meet his sons in law, but he’d be pleased — fly fishermen like Dick, too. Two grand kids now.) Haha — I’d better stop. Thanks for indulging and thank you for your writing. 💌🕊✝️
I understand and send prayers of peace and comfort to you and your dad. Yesterday was the first birthday of my husband's (40 years) birthday who passed in September. I'm hoping each year will get easier to smile, laugh and remember him in the fun, lively, healthy, happy years. Every day I do my best to remember all the wonderful years we had together and know he is healthy and happy with Lord Jesus.
I abandoned my attempts to express what you did so sublimely, in so few words, Jan! Those kinds of tears are a beautiful gift of God’s tender Love and Grace.
Four Winds, I am praying for you and your dad 🙏❤️ My mom’s birthday (would’ve been 74) was on Wednesday. And I felt the same. Just gutted and broken-hearted thinking about how much I miss her. I was with my dad for the first birthday without her last year but couldn’t make it this year because of work commitments. It’s so hard on those days especially because you just naturally think of them more. Sending you virtual hugs and prayers for strength and peace. Glad you and your dad can be there to support each other in your grief.
I’m not trying to minimize the pain, but it is a beautiful thing when you loved and had such a strong relationship with a loved one that you miss them.
I have a strained relationship with my mom and some odd elements to my dads relationship… I have often felt I would feel relief if they were gone more than sadness. And THAT gives me great saddness - I never had that amazing relationship with my parents. :(
I am happy for you and sad for your loss. It is a beautiful thing tho.
Your heart is large, Lisa Ca...even though your family relationships have been painful--I'm certain you have "adopted family" to support you and bring you joy!! I know I do as well!! My friends are my family that I CHOSE!
I always had a strained relationship with my Mom too. And never felt I could know my Dad’s love.
But, I took care of them for a number of years before they went home to the Lord. First The two of them and then a grieving, ailing mother who had developed an incipient dementia. My Dad’s love shone through like never before in that time and then Mom’s, through her dark time of loss. We got so close — love and trust blossomed. I had lost my husband shortly before Dad died & there was a vulnerability and humility in both of us new widows that allowed God to settle us both — and He gave me what I needed to just attend and give to her. I’m so grateful and honored to have been given that time — His tender arms underneath us. Beautiful moments shared.
I don’t remember where, but somewhere in the Bible it says, The Lord restores the time that the locusts have taken away.
There is a time…
God Bless you and your parents, Lisa. May he heal the wounds and seal the bonds of love with His Spirit. Some day.
Thanks , Maggie. Joel 2:25, and following. It isn’t about restoring the time, as chronological, but as what’s befallen —in our hearts and lives, spiritually and physically. I wonder, am I stretching scripture by applying it as I have.
I posted an excellent sermon on this very subject last Sunday... it is definitely worth a listen. Louis Giglio at Passion church in Atlanta. It's a 3 part sermon series... titled "Cimednap" (Pandemic spelled backwards) and covers a great subject.... the loss of time, lives, health and, relationships... during covid. I'll post a link. Highly recommend the 3! He uses the Prophet Joel's lessons...
Yes, you are right Lisa Ca, I have heard others say something similar and I recognize that there is definitely truth to that. The whole “it is better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all” idea. I do try to focus on that, but to be honest, it’s hard not to think of the good memories and not be saddened that there will be no more memories to be made with that person 😞 I’m trying though.
Right? He looks quite different when at summits and graduations. He goes from falling down (he stumbled again yesterday, getting in Air Force One from the underbelly ladder) to speaking moderately coherently during interviews.
The New Mexico state university team is in shock. I am sure they're all thinking am I next. Whether they admit it or not. It's a shame for those young people to live under this worry. So unnecessary and unwarranted. Shame on all the vaxx mandates imposed by the hateful and evil college and university administrators. RIP to the young lady. 🙏
Fear causes people to make terrible decisions. They have created a "fear engine" with this virus/shot narrative. What they have done took commitment. To get almost every government body around the world to participate in the same lie.
"Fear causes people to make terrible decisions." Yes, it does. So does stress. I think even most of those who were not living in fear during the scamdemic were still living in stress. I was. The people who orchestrated this knew exactly what they were doing. I still find it amazing that not a single country's government saw through the scam.... or maybe they saw through it and chose to go along anyhow. Shaking my head.
I'm really glad that at least your immediate family listened to you. Mine did not, although I have zero medical training. You're 100% right, common sense went out the window.
Most of us here have zero medical training, but just some investigating and rabbit-holing have us leagues more educated than those who accept the narrative of people that seem to want to depop us.
You are right, I experienced the same from friends & some family members. I have a similar background as you. Unfortunately I know I am smarter than a lot of so called doctors. Oh well, now we see the mass cas that they have reaped.
I'm doing the gateway experience mediation series (part of the CIA research on the gateway process) and Hypnosis I am working on now is how our nervous system is connected to our immune system and how to control the health of the immune system by controlling the nervous system. I believe they know that the more people fear the sicker they will become.
No judgement here, NikiStone, only concern: Are you a Christian? I ask, because meditation and hypnosis are New Age practices. The fact that the gateway process comes from the CIA is setting off every alarm bell for me. That agency WILL shape your views to their own end, by placing truth next to error.
I am not a Christian. The church of England tortured me and my son and I simply refuse to belong to a group that stands by and allows their leaders to use fear and false hope of someone else saving them. The CIA hides this information on hypnosis because they know that if they keep people in a mental prison on asking for miracles instead of hypnosis which unlocks the true christ conscious through our biomagnetic energy field, they can enslave humanity.
Basically if they say it's bad and it creates divide it's probably good for you is what I have learnt. I am what they call gnosis. I look at the truth in all and then ask my higher self to guide me to my soul purpose. I believe Jesus was a real person and he had the gifts that they researched in the gateway process such as self healing and they made up a lot of it to control people. Fear the father. No.
Ask for forgiveness for your sins, we have all sinned. If you don't accept Jesus as your savor you will burn in hell.
All of this is forms of abuse. I act with a loving heart with good intentions always.
I respect everyone's right to practice Christianity and believe a lot of the new age practices are the same with different words. But a lot of the teaching really concerns me as to what views it's shaping, especially how I see so many just sitting around and waiting for Jesus to come back instead of realizing the power within them and asking their congregation to stand up to the injustices of their organizations.
Even though my first response is to glare or give a dirty look when I see someone still wearing a mask and/or gloves I try to remember that these people are TRAUMATIZED. By our own government. It’s sickening. Truth is they are emotionally and mentally screwed up by everything that has happened in the past 3 years and while luckily I was able to avoid it they were not. It’s my only defense from the range and anger I feel toward these people and how their continued compliance has contributed to the continuation of all that is wrong. How do you help the brainwashed??
You can't help them. You can only stand as an example of a different way to think and live. My husband and I had parties and trips for all the young people just so they could live, but more importantly, live without fear and think for themselves. I know it helped them and us.
Thank you. Our children were between ages 21 and 25 through this scamdemic the last 3 years. We know this will not be the last time the government or someone will try to scam them and take away things from them. It has been a continuous series of lessons learned by all of us. Don't give in and continue to live life.
Good point. People from sars1 in 2003 were still wearing mask in London in 2019, and I remember thinking how weird it was. But now I totally see the psychological damage caused.
I'm having the same thing with water and food to be honest. I double filter my water and I won't eat it if I don't know where it was grown or can't pronounce what's on the label.
People who are brainwashed first have to know they are and then make a conscious choice to undo the programming. No one is going to do it for them. I'm guessing most would not undertake the effort, especially if they are living in trauma.
That was me. When this all started, I was a brand-new Christian. I had not yet learned to walk in faith, and I hadn't been attending a local church. I had no fellowship at the time. So when I see these people, I can have compassion, because that was me.
"How do you help the brainwashed?"
The best answer I can come up with is another question: How do you help those who did not receive the love of the truth?
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
As parents, as strong and as moral our parenting may be, we may underestimate the power of school indoctrination. Even in some Christian schools unfortunately.
My son chose to apply to and did attend university of Massachusetts. He was in his sophomore year when Covid hit. He had 3 of those nasty jabs. He took them willingly and without a fight because well, it’s UMASS. He’s had a lot of health issues ever since but denies that any of it was caused from the jabs. He’s also turned away from faith in God. Our other 2 adult children have made similar life choices, despite the mostly Christian education.
My youngest daughter is homeschooled because
we learned a valuable lesson.
If you are still sending your child to public school or paying for their left wing colleges, please consider this quote by Voddie T. Baucham: We cannot continue to send our children to Caesar for their education and be surprised when they come home as Romans.
That's awful. My son was a junior in college when this happened. No one in my family, brothers's and sister's family took the shots or even came close to it. I can't say it wasn't only being Christian that stopped us. It was our distrust of doctors and the government. We knew as soon as the censorship showed up to realize this was all BS. Our children from a young age saw how we challenged anything when we felt it was wrong. They learned from a young age the BS that goes on in this world.
I’ve heard of similar stories where the children take the parents values and beliefs to heart. Not everyone has that experience unfortunately. I believe that our adult kids are coming back around as they get older, but the teen and young adult ages were difficult.
My youngest is a pro-life prayer warrior (despite autism) and I believe the homeschooling and shield this provided her from our culture has paved the way for her values. God offers redemption! 🙏🏻❤️
To break those bonds your older children have on them (and all familial curses on your side) fervently recite this impramater-ed Unity Prayer every day for 144 days:
*My adorable Jesus, may our feet journey together. May our hands join in unison. May our hearts beat as one. May our souls be in harmony. May our glances profoundly penetrate each other. May our ears listen to the silence together. May our lips pray together to gain mercy from the eternal Father. Amen.*
I know that with my two daughters. Trained up in the way they should go. But, Satan’s preying system is ubiquitous. They did not escape.
But, take heart. God promises to complete the work HE started in them. He will. His promises are never broken. It’s a mighty comfort, indeed. I pray it’s soon, Lord, for all our captured lambs.
They all wanted brownie points for being good soldiers, and they were all afraid of stepping out of line. To the extent any of them had any doubt of the morality of what they were doing, they found comfort in knowing that all the others were doing it too.
Compliant, caved, sheeple. Lots of people for different reasons of their own gave in. It made it hard on the rest of us who resisted. But I am so glad I resisted.
True, Annie. So many of our friends and family members took the jab for so many different reasons. A lot were politically motivated, so blinded and suffering from extreme TDS, that they would do anything to spite him as soon as Biden got the Spike Cocktail ready to roll out (also leaders in their church.) Some are politically ignorant , trusting in all they hear on msm and just not politically anything...listen to you doctor. Research in some of the family’s vocabulary meant looking for the kids shoes or favorite toy so they could go back to zoom their day’s work. No one mold for the whys that any of the world did what people did.
Evil producing fear in a dry run for later on, much larger event is my thought.
Yes. We'll stated. Oh what fools we were. (Believing our govt had our best interests. And all they wanted was our deaths. They got it. Especially the youngest and brightest.)
I cannot imagine what all of the college athletes and students across the entire nation are thinking and feeling as they hear these stories of their friends, one by one, simply "not waking up" in the morning. Regardless of the cause (we know) these young people need our love and support that you can be saved after this life into the next with faith in God and belief in Jesus Christ as savior of our souls.
I was thinking the same thing. It is burned into my brain another incident - a basketball teammate as he watched one of the other players collapse suddenly during the game. I don't remember what team it was - I mean let's be honest it was happening practically DAILY, it was hard to keep up. But this big, confident, college athlete's face, contorted between horror and crying.... he KNEW what it was that took that player out. You could see it -- He KNEW. He was terrified for himself. Our poor children!! FauXi MUST be held to pay. The CDC NIAID, NIH and FDA (with its BS "food" pyramid) ALL need to be dismantled and they ALL need to go to prison.
I remember the faces of all those men on the Bengals and Buffalo football teams when Damar went down. Tears, fear, horror and concern for Damar and themselves. They knew.
These people will never admit they could be next - unless they were truly forced. I would be an absolute mess if I had got. I'm struggling enough with coping with the harm of the water, plastics and threat of chemical in products.
Apparently 200 colleges are still mandating with 8 have full hard core mandates. Of course the top 8 are the ones who got funding for studies.
Yep....if I was mandated to get it, the fear factor would be so huge that I could not carry on. I could never age as God intended because every little ache or pain would whisper "is this because I got jabbed?".
"AM I NEXT?" THAT is exactly why the shotted keep their mouths shut. It is TOO late and we all know it. We gained everything by resisting but they lost everything by capitulating.
If I took it and thought I was next, I would be screaming from roof as this is the last chance many will get to put their stamp on the world. Sadly we aren't taught enough to make the world a better place. Sometimes I think ww1&2 was all a psyops to condition people into rationing and silence for this period in history.
Yep. And that ain’t the half of it. The good old war machinery lubed with profit, driving both sides into the lucrative wars.
It was indeed a psyops, I am certain. Ongoing, yet. But now their veil is torn; the people suspect — and many know.
Pay close attention to Brics and their upcoming meeting. Prepare to weather a reshuffling of power. Sovereign nations, outside the system that’s ruled for centuries. A new anti globalist system is emerging involving over half the peoples in the world. Sovereign nations, asset-based currency — a new system.
We the people must know our founding documents and stand for and in them.
We have always been sovereign, but the scheming corrupt ones broke covenant, trust, and put us all in chains. Remember Paul and Peter in prison. They sang hymns & prayed, always trusting their Lord. And miracles happened. He caused the miracle of our nation. Defiled now, but far from gone — their plans will be foiled.
Yes, the digital ID and currency is a big threat to me. I have been preparing for 2 years not to comply. I need one more to get fully set up so hopefully we still have time for enough people to push back.
Try Joe Lange’s substack. At this point (since we’re always in best guess mode), as I understand it (...& do some digging on this on your own. )—👇🏼
Digital ID and currency is the globalists plan, the unipolar world. NWO. International bankers, Central Banks & Federal reserve — the status quo for many years, taken to new heights (or lows, depending on your pov). Here also is the dollar as the Int’l boss currency (or bully, as it were).
On the other hand, asset-based currencies (gold, silver, minerals, oil, etc) is the plan of the anti-globalists, the multipolar world (BRICS et al👈🏻👀). Sovereign states, each with their own currency, and a stable exchange rate. This is soon to be pretty much everyone but the West. But it’s so superior to the Dollar’s fiat and debt system, with its “quantitative easing” making money out of thin air — and all kinds of shenanigans — the dollar is a failed currency and system. We’re running on fumes. For us regular folks AND for Int’l commerce, the asset-based system is far superior in every way. And fairer too. There probably will be use of digital currencies. It makes sense for some transactions, transfers, etc. — but it won’t be the same as the bad guy’s plan. It won’t have the strings, be a totalitarian slave system. Just the opposite. I think here’ll likely be several ways to pay for stuff. Private and anonymous. ...I like coin and regular money. I like my privacy, even if the intrusion is benign. And I want money to have something backing it so it actually stands for something solid and real, like it used to. Tangible. Not what it is now (and becoming less of even that by the day!) But, So, moving on..
The other countries, probably led by the US, will follow at some point and convert. This whole thing will make for turbulence and adjustment for us, boy howdy! So prepare with stocks (food etc) & be in community w/ others, be resourceful. Get tangible silver. Add some gold if you want as well. I think the good guys are on top of it, have the ducks lined up and want us to make it through the rapids as unscathed as possible.
Well, this is how I see it. I’m just guessing based on what I glean. The upshot? Just get some silver & Stock up. Plant a garden & tell all your friends to too. 👉🏻 Pray pray pray.
(And if the globalists win instead? Then we’re toast. BUT, they won’t.)
As a 25 year member of SAG-AFTRA, I feel the need to clarify for you and your readers, AI IS the main thing we're trying to negotiate on. The billion dollar studios want to be able to pay us for 1 day of work then use are image and likeness forever, no residuals and without our consent. AI is the biggest item we're fighting against! It's not just trying to earn a better wage to adapt to inflation...it's so much more! And please know, the majority of SAG-AFTRA and WGA members are not the far left. We're day workers trying to get by. We may only work a couple days a month, a show here and a show there. Then we need the residuals to fill in the rest of the time. A very low percentage of the SA membership actually makes a living at it without having to have other work. We're fighting to keep even that! Otherwise they'll do a day of shooting us and be able to AI that into anything forever, without us ever getting paid again. These are the studio heads making billions, we're just trying to make a living. It's so greedy, this strike needed to happen! And as a side note, a very large number us were against the vax mandates. Which is how I discovered C&C.
That makes a lot more sense. The articles I've read all failed to mention the AI angle. Can you send me a link to any source I can use for a follow-up article?
Did you see the new Black Mirror on this? Its series 6 - Joan is Awful. It's a very real concern for for actors and musicians, as potentially they could have them doing things against their values like pedo type stuff or being anti Jesus for example.
The other concern is that they will not get paid the royalties.
I think like the LGBT community we need to not box everyone in one industry as part of the club as there are some very genuine people out there in all communities being used as a distraction but also exploited fighting for freedom too.
We need all these people to unite with us and fight along side us, not feel offended. (I'm LGBT and found it unbelievable that because I like kinky sex and do it responsibly with consent in private, I have a mental illness or am less intelligent. I stopped fighting for a while until I realized we all need to grow together and rise above. Now I spent a lot of time correcting the left that it's not the far right, it's the community that's angry for being exploited. They listen to me as they can't argue that I don't know how to behave and how I should expect others too. We need more people in the LGBT community to fight, just like we need more people in Hollywood to fight)
Actors and writers shouldn't have to feel like people hate them just because of the 'club' that many don't belong to or never would.
I'm glad this person clarified and you noticed it. Actors and writers are terrified at the potential, not just for lack of wages but lack of control of their own free will - total enslavement. The LGBT community is also terrified of what their MAP agenda truly means.
I know you are frustrated but please bare this in mind when mentioning communities - a select few, even if it is overwhelming, doesn't mean all, and the same meaning can be said, whilst making allowance for those that are sane, intelligent and fighting on your side.
I'm sorry, the one thing you fail to understand, apparently due to the loving media in most forms, is that generally speaking, the right as you would call us, don't really care about your private life. We really don't. You could do whatever you want with as many as you want, and as long as it doesn't involve children, or harm anyone else, no one cares. The problem arises when when the virtue signaling left so needs to be accepted and honored for their open mindedness, that they come up with stupid shit like drag queen story hour. That right there makes your whole point moot. You've already been accepted, because no one really wants to know. Just like I don't tell you how much I like girls. It's not the first thing that comes to mind. Y'all have to realize just because your queer, your whole world has to revolve around that first and foremost. You wear signs, for God's sake, letting everyone know which way you go. Why? Why do you identify with your body parts. It's so beyond lame for the rest of us that really don't care. And that's why when you whine about being treated differently, it rings hollow. Just shutup, and live.
And I don't call people who feel awkward about people holding hands that are the same sex sharing love, on the right. I call them brainwashed Christians 😂
I'm totally independent, I'm not on the right or the left. I simply share my views as a bisexual female who mainly is heterosexual how the focus should not be on the entire LGBT community and should be on those who are harming our children with their inappropriate teaching.
But all of you sheeple have the same response. Ive tried to help enough in the info war to note you all have the same pattern of your replies.
Accuse me of being on the left, then put your whole, we dont have relationships of male and female on tv nor do we talk about people for potential relationships, we definitely don't allow our daughters to pretend to get married as children and never does any of talk about sex with our friends or have PDA nor should you - nonsense and then tell me to get on with my life. It's honestly comical. It's like you are already microchip and being told what to type. Lol
Speaking of the point going right over your head,you've proved mine remarkably well. Ty. I don't know anyone that feels awkward see a couple holding hands. Two of our best friends were married. Been married on about fifteen years. We were at their wedding. I'm aright wing, knuckle dragging, Bible thumpin white hard core conservative with more firepower than a battalion. But I really don't care who you love. See? It's possible. So no, we're not brainwashed. It's called tolerance. But, when you feel the need to tell me how kinky you are, I guess that makes me want to puke a little. Because I don't go around telling you how much I like to fuck. See? I guess it's difficult when one is so proud of their sexuality, they have to wear it on their forehead.
I stopped playing tennis with my tennis partner as during the don't say gay drama, she said people holding hands was shoving it in their face and thought they shouldn't do so in public. A lot of people have this view from my research. They are also angry at the number of gay people mixed into shows these days.
Anyway - we all have different experiences.
Perhaps trying to work from tolerance to acceptance of who people love might be the next step for you.
Secondly, this entire comment is about the movie industry and how people hate on Hollywood as a whole because of a group of people that are pedophiles and I was commenting that we shouldn't group people as a whole and used the LGBT community as an example as people do the same thing - they assume all is bad - and you pulled out my one comment about how shocking it's been for me to be called mentally ill (and for emphasis I said because I like kinky sex). Did I say because I like threesomes with hot beautiful women and give details no, I didn't. I didn't give details. you are the one that went nuts when you saw someone talking about why they have been offended by those who think people who have threesomes deserve a place in hell, should die or need medication. I should be allowed to clarify why I am offended. It is offensive when people call people who are kinky deviants or mentally ill.
And it's obnoxious when someone doesn't scroll past a post and instead gives a huge monologue telling someone they shouldn't talk about it online.
What would be worth digging in your review of black mirror and their warning of AI - don't forget the dog cops and political pig fxcking or all the other tech themes they have going on, are all real - is their server called Steamberry. I thought this was weird because usually each episode is self contained and this was the first thing I noticed in multiple episodes.
Thanks for explaining that so well and reminding me that as Hollywood is getting hammered for their pedophile cover up and agenda pushing, we need to be kind to the industry as a whole. Those in this industry do have a big voice, and it's valued.
I put some info on black mirror in my comments to Jeff for a follow up. If you haven't seen it or it's not being talked about in your circles, it's worth sharing to raise awareness.
Thanks for filling us in on this. It sounds like an actor’s life is similar to a musician’s—struggling to put together a living wage. I am happy to hear about the pushback to the vax. I am a violinist in a professional orchestra. Only three musicians refused the vax, including myself. I missed a year of concerts, but it was worth it.
Monica; Glad that you missed only one year, I missed 2 1/2 (Double bassist). Was ready to sue the AFM for not defending our right to work but looks like we purebloods will be back this fall!
That’s interesting. Thanks for sharing. It’s easy to lump in the writers with everyone else. I’m not “for” AI being used at all! And what you are saying makes sense.
On another note: I read (from an insider basically whistleblowing on her) that Fran Drescher was all in on the shots and mandates…..until it became unpopular. Then she switched sides. Do you know if that is true?
I'm not sure but I hadn't heard that. I'm guessing like everyone else, she believed the narrative in the beginning and thought the vaccines would work, then when we all saw they didn't, she didn't see a reason for us all not to get back to work. It was really the national executive director, Crabtree-Ireland, who was the hardcore pusher for them. When other industries were dropping the mandates and getting back to work, it was he who was saying no and Drescher was pushing back against him saying to stop the mandates so we could get back to work. Those of us non-vax couldn't work, even though shows were filming. She was trying to get everyone back to work and talking about how it didn't matter anymore, vaxxed people were still getting it and shows were still testing daily, so her fight was a good one, saying we're doing our best with testing, so there's no reason everyone shouldn't be back at work. It was Crabtree-Ireland being the A-hole, frankly.
Thank you for sharing this. I honestly thought all of Hollywood was a bunch of far left wing nut jobs. I'm glad I'm wrong.
The reason you are striking makes a lot of sense to me. No one has the right to pay a person for one day and then use their image however they wish forever.
Hi Debs- I’ve heard of this that it was really about AI and it was coming as a strike. Kudos to you for fighting back against it! Kudos for fighting the jab! Not sure how you survive hollywierd but hey I live near LA.
Hang in there!! Sadly, many many jobs will be gone if AI blows up that so many people will
HERE, HERE, Debs--I knew SAG and AFSTRA represented ALL entertainment workers and most of them are "gig" workers, so your explaining what's REALLY behind this strike is VERY helpful! AI is going to replace ALL OF US if the technocrats and potentates have their "way"!
Since Brandon is hell bent on forgiving billions in student debt, it should be tied to military participation. You know, we forgive your student loan for that useless degree, but you must serve in the military for four years. Problem solved. We will either have a lot less student loans to forgive or extra bodies for the military to use in ukraine.
There are already student loan repayment incentives for enlisting. The problem is that most of those people who have student loans wouldn't qualify for enlistment.
There's qualifications?? That's got to be a low bar to cross..
I remember fosterkids aging out of the system at 18, having received no education or skills to better their lives, and upon realizing they would not be music or sports stars, opting for the military. Bed, board, and spending money - better than working at DQ. It's another taxpayer-funded government assistance program
I was raised in a family where all my male relatives joined some branch of the service. It included all branches: Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force. Of course, that was the draft. Some were in during war time, others not, but ALL of them came out of the service with skills they would not have had before. It brought them good jobs which put their kids through college or enabled them to start their own businesses. The draft should be reinstated at least as a two-year requirement (like Israel) and it should include females. It instills a sense of patriotism and discipline and pride in themselves together with teaching them to work as a team. Okay, many did not conform but the majority did. I see the young people of today roaming around aimlessly, getting into trouble and getting others into trouble with them. Something needs to change.
No, the draft should not be instituted which would require my children to receive all the vaccines, the CRT training, the woke craziness and anti-God! The military now is not the military of the past!
My youngest son is a Marine NCO. He deeply dislikes female Marines, as they enlist, get preferred treatment in boot, then proceed to get fat and lazy and have inflated attitudes to match their posteriors.
He's out every morning at 05:30 PT'ing these fat slobs.
From his perspective, he spends WAY too much time trying to run their asses outta his Marine Corps.
I have never understood this male-female equality stuff as it pertains to physical abilities, and I'm female. Our bodies are not like men's bodies and there is nothing wrong with that. Believe me, I respect all women who choose to serve this country and do so with honor, but I don't see how lazy and overweight female marines can do a whole lot.
Where's the "equity" in the military? They're always telling us there's no difference between men and women. So I would say if women want to enter the military (in any sort of combat type function) they should have to meet the exact same standards as men in terms of physical fitness. No exceptions. If they can't match the men, they're out or at least, put in the back to office functions.
That's a long-standing conflict--my son was Navy (crypto tech on board the USS Arkansas his entire hitch) and there were, of course, "jar heads" on board ships. They just gave each other a wide berth unless there was trouble brewing on the high seas!
Well, they wouldn’t be allowed to have purple hair; they may not HAVE any hair after the company barber gets a hold of them. Discipline is what they need. They’ve got too much time on their hands and you know what they say about idle hands being the devil’s workshop.
Outstanding! Make them put some skin in the game. Some countries have mandatory service requirements, which I’ve long thought might give the younger generation a sense of patriotism and/or pride in our country (and not THAT kind of pride!). 🇺🇸
I have always felt our young people should serve the country--in SOME capacity for 2 years as they do in Israel and some other Middle Eastern countries. Would toughen them up in so many ways that are positive to their maturation and holistic outlook on life in general.
My son serves in the Marines. I have not been fully at peace since this corrupt dolt weaseled his way into office. I pray for the safety of my son and all our kids working under a very corrupt regime. I don’t know why this is happening, but I pray for better days.
To filter out Hollywood smut, VidAngle removes content you don’t want to hear or see. It’s pretty amazing and let’s you control exactly what comes out of the screen. Have used it for years and really like the service.
It reminds me of how movies on TV used to be filtered for “community standards”. Removing the garbage almost never impacts the story line.
VidAngel is associated with Angel Studios that put out Sound of Freedom.
For some movies it will look like the redacted files the alphabet agencies give to congressional investigation committees. Not much left than porn, smut and swearing.
Love that! We also stream PureFlix which is great because we can choose any movie or show and know that it’s Christian or at least clean and truly family friendly.
You do know that Angel Studios is owned by 2 Mormon guys--I'm all for decent viewing and found Angel Studios as a result of binge watching The Chosen for the past 8 months! Mormonism sticks in my spiritual "crawl" so to speak as they disavow the blood atonement of Jesus Christ the Lord.
You’d like it way better than forwarding :) it’s pretty seamless in most cases. It integrates with Apple TV, Netflix and Amazon. There’s been many lawsuits from Hollywood fighting the service over the years and it doesn’t work with all streaming.
Hollywood writers and actors on strike, and productions halted. So sad. Now I won't get to see "Lego Guardians Of The Galaxy Battle Gay Godzilla" on my fall break.
Being that I haven't watched anything made after around 1995 in years (aside from Youtubers working on cars) I'm good with the strike. In fact I welcome it. Less garbage being churned out to poison my kids. In the mean time, Rockford Files and Columbo reruns are fine with me.
I had a friend who was a wonderful actor. He died in 2015 at age 86. Somewhere around the year 2000 I told him I missed seeing him act because it had been a few years since he was in anything and whether he thought about acting again. He told me about a conversation he had in 1995 on a film set with a friend who was one of the techs about how corporatized, I think is the word he used, everything in Hollywood had become, and he had no desire to act again.
Hubbie and I don't even own a TV since 1997. When we visit our families who watch TV 24/7, I feel like a deer in the headlights. Also very awkward at what is actually on the screen. I'm very glad we don't have such a thing in our mostly peaceful home.
I felt as though on another planet when I had to sit through some stupid talk show while waiting at the dentist office. There must be a high degree of idiocy and dysfunction one would need to have in order to believe that watching that garbage is a good use of time.
Isn't this the truth? And the TV is always on some lowest common denominator channel that assumes people waiting are drooling morons, who are entertained by salacious gossip and watching stupid people act like savages.
I've gotten up and turned the TV off when the show was debasing or overtly sexual. Just stood up, said out loud, "I've had enough of this", walked over, and turned it off. Others in the room thank me, no one has ever complained.
Makes me wonder what the people working there really think of us.
I stretch the window a little later, though. A lot of good stuff was made up through the early Obama era. Woke nonsense started creeping in regularly around then, though it wasn't until Trump got in and TDS infected everything that Hollywood got truly insufferable.
I go way farther back. When they brought the faggotry to LA Law back in the 90s, I quit them. I haven’t even had network TV on my programming package for over 20 years.
I decided having the tornado warnings on local TV wasn’t worth the money.
Lots of crap on TV, since probably the 80s, certainly 90s. But good stuff has been made right up to the present (rarely). E.g. Monk (2002-2010), blue bloods (2010-current), Malcolm in the middle (2000-2007), the middle (2009-16), American Housewife (2016-21)
*not that there aren't minor parts or scenes that are problematic, but overall clean shows.
I still remember that the most graphic sex scene I had ever seen on network tv was on LA Law. The 90s was the Clinton decade where promiscous sex was being written int otherwise good comedies, to change the culture's morality. Friends and Frasier, which I otherwise loved for the characters and good writing, come to mind.
The lower eschelon of actors and actresses struggle to survive.
One of the issues is that Studios want to pay them for filming one day, say at the beginning of a TV series, and turn their film into AI so they can continue to use their images and voices in perpetuity without paying the actual actor/actress. Sounds like theft to me. Forcing to sell yourself to AI. Makes the “background” people poor.
Comes from a background actress.
Don’t think of only the celebrities, think of the whole picture.
Seems like there will be some unused theaters we should capitalize on. Let’s start a list of topic ideas: Covid bioweapon, vaccine damage, died suddenly, government/social media censorship, Biden crime family…
We’re defunding the police and reducing our military response & readiness around the world. We no longer build ships. Our currency is now a choice rather than a standard enforced by the world’s strongest military force. In the last 6months 48% of the world’s population BRICS + RUS +MEX + VEN just moved to China’s new Yuan for int’l settlements. Both Blinken (neocon) and Yellen were just reduced to beggars on separate last minute trips to attempt to dissuade the CCP. They were sent home babbling some nonsense w/re: “constructive exchange” which is an empty hat-in-hand. And that! after declaring One China to the world. All without a shot being fired. So today whomever runs this shitshow put out an Exec Order to commit 3000 US troops to visit NATO. JFC I would love to be a fly on the wire between Putin & Xi last night. It’s more standup tragedy than the troll Zelenskyy’s Spring Offensive. It would be comedy if The People weren’t always the ones dying. At least that cross-dressing- loser 4star Chairman of JTCOS, Gen Milley, is retiring to spend more time with his/her hairdresser. So there’s that.
Don't despair. We still have that asswipe and traitor, Allen, to lead. Lord help us. 🙏 And they wonder why military enrollment is down. Who wants to serve and risk their lives for this joke of a government and the losers leading it.
Hmmm. I vaguely recall another conversation with you here as being rather distasteful.
I also think you may want to question your trusted sources.
B2N. Please feel free to respond, but your somewhat glee at any deaths is very revealing, likewise distasteful, and as I recall, you know more than everyone else anyway, so any reply is trumped by your superior knowledge and wisdom. I guess I’ll just take my ignorance and bask in it somewhere else. So. please consider the matter dropped, from this end. Thanks.
Biden is doing this the hard way. The easiest fix to the cocaine mishap would have been super simple. Just get Fauci to backdate a cocaine prescription for Hunter. Problem solved. Say it helps him stay on task when filing his taxes.
I was thinking the maybe the Secret Service's strategy is to avoid a direct confrontation with Biden or Hunter, by saying, "We can't say who left the drugs in the White House, but for everyone's safety, we're going to be doing a daily sweep through the entire WH with a drug sniffing dog. Especially when Hunter is here. For safety."
Hunter can't go on "living" like this forever, it's likely to end only one way. There's probably pre-written press releases in a WH filing cabinet somewhere, explaining away his upcoming overdose death a dozen different ways. What a sad waste of a life.
There are a lot of Christians on this Substack. And many, many needs for prayers. What about an offshoot prayer line where people could post requests for prayers and uplifting comments. These could be personal as well as for our country- which desperately needs it. There’s power in numbers.
Pray constantly. Pray for our country. Pray for the children. Pray for the world. Pray to the One True and everlasting God, the Triune God of Abraham, isaac and Jacob. The only God who is.
That is one of the things that drew me to C&C over 2 years ago. I pray every day and in every way when I am reading through the daily post and the comments. There are many prayerful comments each and every day. This is one of the very best daily posts we could ever want for a great mix of news, humor and Godly friends who offer prayer all the time.
It appears as if Resident Briben's handlers don't care how many Ukrainians are lost in this war, otherwise they would be seeking peace. They would rather seek profits. Greedy, immoral bastards....
And it looks like they are going to serve up some Americans too. Reservists. Yeah right. I am sure they will be advisors on the ground in Ukraine making sure no Ukrainians get the idea to stray from the nato/us narrative. The Reservists better watch their social media usage as the Russians monitor that and use it to pinpoint whatever restaurant or pizza joint they may be at. And then take them out.
Reservists have generally been around for while and want to earn a salary while still serving their country and many have only a few years left to complete their service for retirement pay. They tend to go from active duty to IRR or other occasional reserve status.
These are not reservists who train monthly and who are activated from 2-6 weeks per year.
They are moms and dads who love their country but maybe don’t want to sever from service to us.
Exactly KJ. I read all the comments and I'm struck by the disconnect between views on the Gov't and the military and the views about "military service." Since WWII, it has been so en-grained in the American psyche that "serving" in the US military is honorable and righteous and almost on par with spiritual sanctification. This is an image the USG has cultivated in Americans in order to keep the enlisted bodies flowing for their meat-grinding foreign wars. I'm not questioning the intentions of any individual who enlists. I'm saying this is a con and young, impressionable people are conned by this idea of military honor and glory to enlist. Military soldiers are recruited for one purpose: to train young men to kill and, once trained, to kill without question whoever the Gov't identifies as an enemy. I don't think this is the same definition of "to serve" as is used in the Bible. But they use that word because of the connotation it carries.
The only time this "ethic" was questioned was during the Vietnam War when the USG forced young men to become trained killers through the draft and then forced to participate in the Vietnam meat grinder. Instinctively, many young minds questioned the legitimacy of that and became "draft resisters". Since then the USG has been much more careful to cultivate the "service" con.
How is serving a Gov't in the military honorable when that Gov't is dishonorable in it's actions? That question rather answers itself, doesn't it? America has not fought a defensive war since the War of 1812 when our enemy, the British Crown, attacked us once again. That was the last righteous war we fought. By definition, wars of aggression are not righteous, in spite of all the war propaganda. Every war since then the USG has engaged in has been wars of aggression.
Now the USG is clearly a proxy government for the CCP. EVERYTHING the O'Biden regime has done is to weaken and subjugate the American people and their spirit. We have essentially been taken over in a bloodless coup and we haven't even started to fight back.
Ok if this doesn’t stop the presses I don’t know if there is any use in discussion. Between this utube video and the Andrew Tate interview with Tucker I have completely stopped in my tracks. Amaaaaaaaaaaaaazing.
What about the young man whose goal was set at 11-12 yrs. old? Military academy then aviation? Years of hard work towards that goal. Finally a nomination, then acceptance.
Graduation & Commissioning. So many like him. And the storied USA has failed them by giving them the leadership they don’t deserve. They need our prayers more than ever (seriously, not a cliche)
Vitamin D is another story, as it takes UV-B combined with LDL cholesterol for it to be made in our skin. However if we don't get enough light in our eye, and get too much blue light from devices, then we destroy the vitamin A pathway, which then decouples from vit D, leading to a health cascade of crap.
The problem with this is that most studies on UV were done in labs, without the presence of infrared, which balances out blue, violet, and other more intense wavelengths, present in full spectrum Sunlight.
Yep. (Married to an eye MD). Heard that for years...but then, I grew up in Florida, visited the beaches often, sun burned more often than I care to admit and have yep, I had cataracts. But, know lots of friends who grew up literally ON THE BEACH, same age... none to minimal cataracts. It can go both ways. Probably genes play into it as well...?
Joe Biden can go jump in a lake. I am so incredibly sick of that man and his nonsense. I think he is going to have to be replaced by AI pretty soon because he is so out of it. Also, I care more about the lives of the yellow jacket wasps that I am going to have to kill than I do about anything that happens in Hollyweird. Strike away!!
On an unrelated note, positive thoughts and prayers would be appreciated. Today would have been my mom's birthday. She's been gone 7.5 years from ALS. This day is really, really hard for my dad and also for me. I miss her so much. Thanks in advance.

🗨 For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” ~~Psalm 139:13
This AI crap freaks me out. And as a parent whose daughter leaves next month for college to pursue a degree in Broadcasting and Media Production, I’ll be damned if they wanna use her likeness in that way. 🤬
🤔
ALS is an awful traumatic family experience. I'm very sorry for you both. Praying for the peace of God that surpasses understanding.
Sending lots of hugs and more love to you and your dad today! Praying for peace that passes understanding for you both. May the good Lord, in His infinite glory give you both an indescrible helping of grace and mercy to overwhelm you with His love! He is sufficient. He is enough. May your memories become sweeter and more cherished as each year passes.
"peace that passes understanding" that was beautiful Maggie. Very kool.
Later Jay
❤️
Courage, dear heart

A difficult time of remembering and missing for me as well. It’s hard, too, because the memories of my beloved’s illness saga seems to overshadow all the other memories I struggle and pray to recollect. I love to hear the stories — they help me to remember. Ten years this year.
Seems every season is colored by a death & loss saga now. I’m not so old, but God deepened me in a few year’s blitz.
Take care and God Bless, comfort and keep you, Four Winds, and many others carrying the grief and loss which never leaves.
💌
Thank you, RL & SBE 🌻I didn’t intend to be so much about me (as it seems when I read it), but more of a giving of my heart to one who cared for a loved one (or three) through their lengthy illness and suffering, only to lose them in the end. The strongest memories seem to be of those last terrible days, as all other moments become so hard to recall. It’s a thing I’ve never seen discussed — as an ongoing part of that special part of grief. Saddening not to remember them from before the trauma began. Why people’s stories —.those less immediately involved, but who deeply loved & miss them too are so treasured. Such a gift for those in the land of the new normal.
Perhaps it’s a kind of ptsd? Dunno. But God — Jesus — has listened to endless hours of recollections and feelings from *that time*. He is the best councilor by far. Ever faithful. And I am thriving under His ministrations since. He gives dreams as well. Love abounding. Overflowing. Flowing out in love to others. Though I feel the loss every day, He fills it with great joy and often small, lovely gifts. Like signs. Or winks. ...And people.
Thank you!
"Dick" (that was your husband--correct?)--when we are young and full of "stuff" and so busy building our lives...we really do NOT understand the Man of Sorrows and what Jesus does for His brothers and sisters in THEIR time of "going through the valley of the shadow". Remember in Scripture when Jesus went to Bethany to visit his dear friends, Lazarus, Mary & Martha--and when Jesus approached their home and Mary ran out to greet her friend, Jesus (whom she knew was also her Savior) Scripture says that Jesus "groaned" within himself at the knowledge of Lazarus' death (they were very, very close friends during Jesus earthly existence). JESUS GROANS while we weep, Dick--and His groaning is SO precious to our souls!
Wow! So Beautiful and True!
(Yep, that’s correct. He was a friend to all and a lover of God and His Word. He was also full of life and fun and imagination..He never got to meet his sons in law, but he’d be pleased — fly fishermen like Dick, too. Two grand kids now.) Haha — I’d better stop. Thanks for indulging and thank you for your writing. 💌🕊✝️
The Holy Spirit guides my writing these days...so consider what I wrote from His lips to your ears! SHALOM!
It’s on YouTube
Check out the seven video series. Imagine heaven by John Burke. It’s helped me through similar times.
Thanks, “Bones”. I shall!

"Joe Biden can go jump in the lake."
Make sure the lake water is only 3 feet deep. That seems to be a very effective depth.
I understand and send prayers of peace and comfort to you and your dad. Yesterday was the first birthday of my husband's (40 years) birthday who passed in September. I'm hoping each year will get easier to smile, laugh and remember him in the fun, lively, healthy, happy years. Every day I do my best to remember all the wonderful years we had together and know he is healthy and happy with Lord Jesus.
AMEN and AMEN, Debra!!
God Bless and comfort you with happy memories that coax the tears. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I abandoned my attempts to express what you did so sublimely, in so few words, Jan! Those kinds of tears are a beautiful gift of God’s tender Love and Grace.
Humbled.. It just came out :) thanks Dick.
You have poetry in you. ☺️
🙏 try to spend today engulfed in those special amazing memories of your mom. The good days! xoxo to you and your dad. 🙏
Four Winds, I am praying for you and your dad 🙏❤️ My mom’s birthday (would’ve been 74) was on Wednesday. And I felt the same. Just gutted and broken-hearted thinking about how much I miss her. I was with my dad for the first birthday without her last year but couldn’t make it this year because of work commitments. It’s so hard on those days especially because you just naturally think of them more. Sending you virtual hugs and prayers for strength and peace. Glad you and your dad can be there to support each other in your grief.
I’m not trying to minimize the pain, but it is a beautiful thing when you loved and had such a strong relationship with a loved one that you miss them.
I have a strained relationship with my mom and some odd elements to my dads relationship… I have often felt I would feel relief if they were gone more than sadness. And THAT gives me great saddness - I never had that amazing relationship with my parents. :(
I am happy for you and sad for your loss. It is a beautiful thing tho.
Your heart is large, Lisa Ca...even though your family relationships have been painful--I'm certain you have "adopted family" to support you and bring you joy!! I know I do as well!! My friends are my family that I CHOSE!
I always had a strained relationship with my Mom too. And never felt I could know my Dad’s love.
But, I took care of them for a number of years before they went home to the Lord. First The two of them and then a grieving, ailing mother who had developed an incipient dementia. My Dad’s love shone through like never before in that time and then Mom’s, through her dark time of loss. We got so close — love and trust blossomed. I had lost my husband shortly before Dad died & there was a vulnerability and humility in both of us new widows that allowed God to settle us both — and He gave me what I needed to just attend and give to her. I’m so grateful and honored to have been given that time — His tender arms underneath us. Beautiful moments shared.
I don’t remember where, but somewhere in the Bible it says, The Lord restores the time that the locusts have taken away.
There is a time…
God Bless you and your parents, Lisa. May he heal the wounds and seal the bonds of love with His Spirit. Some day.
In the book of Joel.
Thanks , Maggie. Joel 2:25, and following. It isn’t about restoring the time, as chronological, but as what’s befallen —in our hearts and lives, spiritually and physically. I wonder, am I stretching scripture by applying it as I have.
I posted an excellent sermon on this very subject last Sunday... it is definitely worth a listen. Louis Giglio at Passion church in Atlanta. It's a 3 part sermon series... titled "Cimednap" (Pandemic spelled backwards) and covers a great subject.... the loss of time, lives, health and, relationships... during covid. I'll post a link. Highly recommend the 3! He uses the Prophet Joel's lessons...
Yes, you are right Lisa Ca, I have heard others say something similar and I recognize that there is definitely truth to that. The whole “it is better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all” idea. I do try to focus on that, but to be honest, it’s hard not to think of the good memories and not be saddened that there will be no more memories to be made with that person 😞 I’m trying though.
Sending you positive thoughts & prayers .
Happy Birthday thoughts to Mom.
How do we know brandon isn't already AI?
Right? He looks quite different when at summits and graduations. He goes from falling down (he stumbled again yesterday, getting in Air Force One from the underbelly ladder) to speaking moderately coherently during interviews.
That’s even more terrifying. 😱
Will think of you, FourWinds. Keep strong and treasure time with your dad ❤️
Your mom did a fantastic job raising you. I will pray for comfort for you and your family.
🙏💚
You are in my thoughts
May you and your dad find peace, FourWinds.
Trump: "The doctors said they've never seen a body kill the Coronavirus like my body. They tested my DNA and it wasn't DNA. It was USA." lol
That’s beautiful! Ha:)
lol!
The New Mexico state university team is in shock. I am sure they're all thinking am I next. Whether they admit it or not. It's a shame for those young people to live under this worry. So unnecessary and unwarranted. Shame on all the vaxx mandates imposed by the hateful and evil college and university administrators. RIP to the young lady. 🙏
Fear causes people to make terrible decisions. They have created a "fear engine" with this virus/shot narrative. What they have done took commitment. To get almost every government body around the world to participate in the same lie.
And our tax dollars paid for this multi billion dollar fear propaganda campaign.
That’s what I kept saying… SO MUCH WASTE OF OUR TAX DOLLARS!!!
You are correct.
"Fear causes people to make terrible decisions." Yes, it does. So does stress. I think even most of those who were not living in fear during the scamdemic were still living in stress. I was. The people who orchestrated this knew exactly what they were doing. I still find it amazing that not a single country's government saw through the scam.... or maybe they saw through it and chose to go along anyhow. Shaking my head.
They needed it to go forward…they were well aware.
I am a retired nurse and saw through the whole jump to “vakzines” (miss spell intended).
Then informed consent denied.
Glad my immediate family heeded my “you’d better not.” Non-immediate family politely told me..”my doctor knowns more than a nurse.”
Several are reaping that decision.
My background: ICU/CCU; Energency Dept (trauma center;) and also circulated in the OR
So sad…No common sense was used.
I'm really glad that at least your immediate family listened to you. Mine did not, although I have zero medical training. You're 100% right, common sense went out the window.
Most of us here have zero medical training, but just some investigating and rabbit-holing have us leagues more educated than those who accept the narrative of people that seem to want to depop us.
You are right, I experienced the same from friends & some family members. I have a similar background as you. Unfortunately I know I am smarter than a lot of so called doctors. Oh well, now we see the mass cas that they have reaped.
I'm doing the gateway experience mediation series (part of the CIA research on the gateway process) and Hypnosis I am working on now is how our nervous system is connected to our immune system and how to control the health of the immune system by controlling the nervous system. I believe they know that the more people fear the sicker they will become.
No judgement here, NikiStone, only concern: Are you a Christian? I ask, because meditation and hypnosis are New Age practices. The fact that the gateway process comes from the CIA is setting off every alarm bell for me. That agency WILL shape your views to their own end, by placing truth next to error.
I am not a Christian. The church of England tortured me and my son and I simply refuse to belong to a group that stands by and allows their leaders to use fear and false hope of someone else saving them. The CIA hides this information on hypnosis because they know that if they keep people in a mental prison on asking for miracles instead of hypnosis which unlocks the true christ conscious through our biomagnetic energy field, they can enslave humanity.
Basically if they say it's bad and it creates divide it's probably good for you is what I have learnt. I am what they call gnosis. I look at the truth in all and then ask my higher self to guide me to my soul purpose. I believe Jesus was a real person and he had the gifts that they researched in the gateway process such as self healing and they made up a lot of it to control people. Fear the father. No.
Ask for forgiveness for your sins, we have all sinned. If you don't accept Jesus as your savor you will burn in hell.
All of this is forms of abuse. I act with a loving heart with good intentions always.
I respect everyone's right to practice Christianity and believe a lot of the new age practices are the same with different words. But a lot of the teaching really concerns me as to what views it's shaping, especially how I see so many just sitting around and waiting for Jesus to come back instead of realizing the power within them and asking their congregation to stand up to the injustices of their organizations.
Even though my first response is to glare or give a dirty look when I see someone still wearing a mask and/or gloves I try to remember that these people are TRAUMATIZED. By our own government. It’s sickening. Truth is they are emotionally and mentally screwed up by everything that has happened in the past 3 years and while luckily I was able to avoid it they were not. It’s my only defense from the range and anger I feel toward these people and how their continued compliance has contributed to the continuation of all that is wrong. How do you help the brainwashed??
You can't help them. You can only stand as an example of a different way to think and live. My husband and I had parties and trips for all the young people just so they could live, but more importantly, live without fear and think for themselves. I know it helped them and us.
God bless you and your husband.
Thank you. Our children were between ages 21 and 25 through this scamdemic the last 3 years. We know this will not be the last time the government or someone will try to scam them and take away things from them. It has been a continuous series of lessons learned by all of us. Don't give in and continue to live life.
Good point. People from sars1 in 2003 were still wearing mask in London in 2019, and I remember thinking how weird it was. But now I totally see the psychological damage caused.
I'm having the same thing with water and food to be honest. I double filter my water and I won't eat it if I don't know where it was grown or can't pronounce what's on the label.
People who are brainwashed first have to know they are and then make a conscious choice to undo the programming. No one is going to do it for them. I'm guessing most would not undertake the effort, especially if they are living in trauma.
Yes, they are mentally damaged, that is what I tell myself, every time I see it. They may never be of sound mind again. So sad.
That was me. When this all started, I was a brand-new Christian. I had not yet learned to walk in faith, and I hadn't been attending a local church. I had no fellowship at the time. So when I see these people, I can have compassion, because that was me.
"How do you help the brainwashed?"
The best answer I can come up with is another question: How do you help those who did not receive the love of the truth?
Agree.
Proverbs 22:6 6
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
As parents, as strong and as moral our parenting may be, we may underestimate the power of school indoctrination. Even in some Christian schools unfortunately.
My son chose to apply to and did attend university of Massachusetts. He was in his sophomore year when Covid hit. He had 3 of those nasty jabs. He took them willingly and without a fight because well, it’s UMASS. He’s had a lot of health issues ever since but denies that any of it was caused from the jabs. He’s also turned away from faith in God. Our other 2 adult children have made similar life choices, despite the mostly Christian education.
My youngest daughter is homeschooled because
we learned a valuable lesson.
If you are still sending your child to public school or paying for their left wing colleges, please consider this quote by Voddie T. Baucham: We cannot continue to send our children to Caesar for their education and be surprised when they come home as Romans.
That's awful. My son was a junior in college when this happened. No one in my family, brothers's and sister's family took the shots or even came close to it. I can't say it wasn't only being Christian that stopped us. It was our distrust of doctors and the government. We knew as soon as the censorship showed up to realize this was all BS. Our children from a young age saw how we challenged anything when we felt it was wrong. They learned from a young age the BS that goes on in this world.
That’s awesome for your family Annie! 🙌
I’ve heard of similar stories where the children take the parents values and beliefs to heart. Not everyone has that experience unfortunately. I believe that our adult kids are coming back around as they get older, but the teen and young adult ages were difficult.
My youngest is a pro-life prayer warrior (despite autism) and I believe the homeschooling and shield this provided her from our culture has paved the way for her values. God offers redemption! 🙏🏻❤️
I agree. Keep your precious ones close to you. I pray your older children come around and blessing for all of you. ❤️
I always tried to stay neutral and I was shocked when my 9 year old son had already formed his own views. Kids now are very aware.
Schools indoctrinate big time.
There is no way I would send my son to a state controlled school. I went to boarding school and I don't even think those are safe these days.
Never been so happy to be over 40, then when I look at our education system lol
To break those bonds your older children have on them (and all familial curses on your side) fervently recite this impramater-ed Unity Prayer every day for 144 days:
*My adorable Jesus, may our feet journey together. May our hands join in unison. May our hearts beat as one. May our souls be in harmony. May our glances profoundly penetrate each other. May our ears listen to the silence together. May our lips pray together to gain mercy from the eternal Father. Amen.*
I know that with my two daughters. Trained up in the way they should go. But, Satan’s preying system is ubiquitous. They did not escape.
But, take heart. God promises to complete the work HE started in them. He will. His promises are never broken. It’s a mighty comfort, indeed. I pray it’s soon, Lord, for all our captured lambs.
YES! Amen!!! Good for you for making a change. Much love as I’m sure this deeply grieves your heart. Parenting is so hard. xx Steph
Thank you Lisa! 🙏🏻
They all wanted brownie points for being good soldiers, and they were all afraid of stepping out of line. To the extent any of them had any doubt of the morality of what they were doing, they found comfort in knowing that all the others were doing it too.
Compliant, caved, sheeple. Lots of people for different reasons of their own gave in. It made it hard on the rest of us who resisted. But I am so glad I resisted.
True, Annie. So many of our friends and family members took the jab for so many different reasons. A lot were politically motivated, so blinded and suffering from extreme TDS, that they would do anything to spite him as soon as Biden got the Spike Cocktail ready to roll out (also leaders in their church.) Some are politically ignorant , trusting in all they hear on msm and just not politically anything...listen to you doctor. Research in some of the family’s vocabulary meant looking for the kids shoes or favorite toy so they could go back to zoom their day’s work. No one mold for the whys that any of the world did what people did.
Evil producing fear in a dry run for later on, much larger event is my thought.
Well said.
Amen, Annie!
Yes. We'll stated. Oh what fools we were. (Believing our govt had our best interests. And all they wanted was our deaths. They got it. Especially the youngest and brightest.)
So sad. So egregious. Justice will come. And with our help, the healing.
There is too much healing needed to even comprehend.
And they wanted that incentive money ….
Hopefully it wasn't just a donut...."Take the jab, get a donut."
Immoral behaviour on its face; not amoral, because a moral compass was used, but a corrupted one, which in this case pointed due south.
Well put.
Hmmmm.....I think you meant "mortality." 😉
I cannot imagine what all of the college athletes and students across the entire nation are thinking and feeling as they hear these stories of their friends, one by one, simply "not waking up" in the morning. Regardless of the cause (we know) these young people need our love and support that you can be saved after this life into the next with faith in God and belief in Jesus Christ as savior of our souls.
I was thinking the same thing. It is burned into my brain another incident - a basketball teammate as he watched one of the other players collapse suddenly during the game. I don't remember what team it was - I mean let's be honest it was happening practically DAILY, it was hard to keep up. But this big, confident, college athlete's face, contorted between horror and crying.... he KNEW what it was that took that player out. You could see it -- He KNEW. He was terrified for himself. Our poor children!! FauXi MUST be held to pay. The CDC NIAID, NIH and FDA (with its BS "food" pyramid) ALL need to be dismantled and they ALL need to go to prison.
I remember the faces of all those men on the Bengals and Buffalo football teams when Damar went down. Tears, fear, horror and concern for Damar and themselves. They knew.
…And the complicit Med. Professionals, hospitals and purveyors of the propaganda fed them — all who willfully compromised for money, favor and safety…
These people will never admit they could be next - unless they were truly forced. I would be an absolute mess if I had got. I'm struggling enough with coping with the harm of the water, plastics and threat of chemical in products.
Apparently 200 colleges are still mandating with 8 have full hard core mandates. Of course the top 8 are the ones who got funding for studies.
Yep....if I was mandated to get it, the fear factor would be so huge that I could not carry on. I could never age as God intended because every little ache or pain would whisper "is this because I got jabbed?".
"AM I NEXT?" THAT is exactly why the shotted keep their mouths shut. It is TOO late and we all know it. We gained everything by resisting but they lost everything by capitulating.
If I took it and thought I was next, I would be screaming from roof as this is the last chance many will get to put their stamp on the world. Sadly we aren't taught enough to make the world a better place. Sometimes I think ww1&2 was all a psyops to condition people into rationing and silence for this period in history.
Yep. And that ain’t the half of it. The good old war machinery lubed with profit, driving both sides into the lucrative wars.
It was indeed a psyops, I am certain. Ongoing, yet. But now their veil is torn; the people suspect — and many know.
Pay close attention to Brics and their upcoming meeting. Prepare to weather a reshuffling of power. Sovereign nations, outside the system that’s ruled for centuries. A new anti globalist system is emerging involving over half the peoples in the world. Sovereign nations, asset-based currency — a new system.
We the people must know our founding documents and stand for and in them.
We have always been sovereign, but the scheming corrupt ones broke covenant, trust, and put us all in chains. Remember Paul and Peter in prison. They sang hymns & prayed, always trusting their Lord. And miracles happened. He caused the miracle of our nation. Defiled now, but far from gone — their plans will be foiled.
Yes, the digital ID and currency is a big threat to me. I have been preparing for 2 years not to comply. I need one more to get fully set up so hopefully we still have time for enough people to push back.
Try Joe Lange’s substack. At this point (since we’re always in best guess mode), as I understand it (...& do some digging on this on your own. )—👇🏼
Digital ID and currency is the globalists plan, the unipolar world. NWO. International bankers, Central Banks & Federal reserve — the status quo for many years, taken to new heights (or lows, depending on your pov). Here also is the dollar as the Int’l boss currency (or bully, as it were).
On the other hand, asset-based currencies (gold, silver, minerals, oil, etc) is the plan of the anti-globalists, the multipolar world (BRICS et al👈🏻👀). Sovereign states, each with their own currency, and a stable exchange rate. This is soon to be pretty much everyone but the West. But it’s so superior to the Dollar’s fiat and debt system, with its “quantitative easing” making money out of thin air — and all kinds of shenanigans — the dollar is a failed currency and system. We’re running on fumes. For us regular folks AND for Int’l commerce, the asset-based system is far superior in every way. And fairer too. There probably will be use of digital currencies. It makes sense for some transactions, transfers, etc. — but it won’t be the same as the bad guy’s plan. It won’t have the strings, be a totalitarian slave system. Just the opposite. I think here’ll likely be several ways to pay for stuff. Private and anonymous. ...I like coin and regular money. I like my privacy, even if the intrusion is benign. And I want money to have something backing it so it actually stands for something solid and real, like it used to. Tangible. Not what it is now (and becoming less of even that by the day!) But, So, moving on..
The other countries, probably led by the US, will follow at some point and convert. This whole thing will make for turbulence and adjustment for us, boy howdy! So prepare with stocks (food etc) & be in community w/ others, be resourceful. Get tangible silver. Add some gold if you want as well. I think the good guys are on top of it, have the ducks lined up and want us to make it through the rapids as unscathed as possible.
Well, this is how I see it. I’m just guessing based on what I glean. The upshot? Just get some silver & Stock up. Plant a garden & tell all your friends to too. 👉🏻 Pray pray pray.
(And if the globalists win instead? Then we’re toast. BUT, they won’t.)
God Bless! 🕊👆🏼🙏🏼✝️
As a 25 year member of SAG-AFTRA, I feel the need to clarify for you and your readers, AI IS the main thing we're trying to negotiate on. The billion dollar studios want to be able to pay us for 1 day of work then use are image and likeness forever, no residuals and without our consent. AI is the biggest item we're fighting against! It's not just trying to earn a better wage to adapt to inflation...it's so much more! And please know, the majority of SAG-AFTRA and WGA members are not the far left. We're day workers trying to get by. We may only work a couple days a month, a show here and a show there. Then we need the residuals to fill in the rest of the time. A very low percentage of the SA membership actually makes a living at it without having to have other work. We're fighting to keep even that! Otherwise they'll do a day of shooting us and be able to AI that into anything forever, without us ever getting paid again. These are the studio heads making billions, we're just trying to make a living. It's so greedy, this strike needed to happen! And as a side note, a very large number us were against the vax mandates. Which is how I discovered C&C.
That makes a lot more sense. The articles I've read all failed to mention the AI angle. Can you send me a link to any source I can use for a follow-up article?
Did you see the new Black Mirror on this? Its series 6 - Joan is Awful. It's a very real concern for for actors and musicians, as potentially they could have them doing things against their values like pedo type stuff or being anti Jesus for example.
https://www.reuters.com/lifestyle/new-black-mirror-season-begins-by-tackling-actors-anxiety-about-ai-2023-06-15/
The other concern is that they will not get paid the royalties.
I think like the LGBT community we need to not box everyone in one industry as part of the club as there are some very genuine people out there in all communities being used as a distraction but also exploited fighting for freedom too.
We need all these people to unite with us and fight along side us, not feel offended. (I'm LGBT and found it unbelievable that because I like kinky sex and do it responsibly with consent in private, I have a mental illness or am less intelligent. I stopped fighting for a while until I realized we all need to grow together and rise above. Now I spent a lot of time correcting the left that it's not the far right, it's the community that's angry for being exploited. They listen to me as they can't argue that I don't know how to behave and how I should expect others too. We need more people in the LGBT community to fight, just like we need more people in Hollywood to fight)
Actors and writers shouldn't have to feel like people hate them just because of the 'club' that many don't belong to or never would.
I'm glad this person clarified and you noticed it. Actors and writers are terrified at the potential, not just for lack of wages but lack of control of their own free will - total enslavement. The LGBT community is also terrified of what their MAP agenda truly means.
I know you are frustrated but please bare this in mind when mentioning communities - a select few, even if it is overwhelming, doesn't mean all, and the same meaning can be said, whilst making allowance for those that are sane, intelligent and fighting on your side.
I'm sorry, the one thing you fail to understand, apparently due to the loving media in most forms, is that generally speaking, the right as you would call us, don't really care about your private life. We really don't. You could do whatever you want with as many as you want, and as long as it doesn't involve children, or harm anyone else, no one cares. The problem arises when when the virtue signaling left so needs to be accepted and honored for their open mindedness, that they come up with stupid shit like drag queen story hour. That right there makes your whole point moot. You've already been accepted, because no one really wants to know. Just like I don't tell you how much I like girls. It's not the first thing that comes to mind. Y'all have to realize just because your queer, your whole world has to revolve around that first and foremost. You wear signs, for God's sake, letting everyone know which way you go. Why? Why do you identify with your body parts. It's so beyond lame for the rest of us that really don't care. And that's why when you whine about being treated differently, it rings hollow. Just shutup, and live.
And I don't call people who feel awkward about people holding hands that are the same sex sharing love, on the right. I call them brainwashed Christians 😂
I'm totally independent, I'm not on the right or the left. I simply share my views as a bisexual female who mainly is heterosexual how the focus should not be on the entire LGBT community and should be on those who are harming our children with their inappropriate teaching.
But all of you sheeple have the same response. Ive tried to help enough in the info war to note you all have the same pattern of your replies.
Accuse me of being on the left, then put your whole, we dont have relationships of male and female on tv nor do we talk about people for potential relationships, we definitely don't allow our daughters to pretend to get married as children and never does any of talk about sex with our friends or have PDA nor should you - nonsense and then tell me to get on with my life. It's honestly comical. It's like you are already microchip and being told what to type. Lol
Speaking of the point going right over your head,you've proved mine remarkably well. Ty. I don't know anyone that feels awkward see a couple holding hands. Two of our best friends were married. Been married on about fifteen years. We were at their wedding. I'm aright wing, knuckle dragging, Bible thumpin white hard core conservative with more firepower than a battalion. But I really don't care who you love. See? It's possible. So no, we're not brainwashed. It's called tolerance. But, when you feel the need to tell me how kinky you are, I guess that makes me want to puke a little. Because I don't go around telling you how much I like to fuck. See? I guess it's difficult when one is so proud of their sexuality, they have to wear it on their forehead.
I stopped playing tennis with my tennis partner as during the don't say gay drama, she said people holding hands was shoving it in their face and thought they shouldn't do so in public. A lot of people have this view from my research. They are also angry at the number of gay people mixed into shows these days.
Anyway - we all have different experiences.
Perhaps trying to work from tolerance to acceptance of who people love might be the next step for you.
You totally missed the point, didn't you? Lol
Keep up the divide, that's just what they want to make sure you are on a carbon credit spending restriction living in a C40 city. 🤣🤣🤣
You are what creates the divide. It's all you can't talk about is your penis. It's pretty lame.
First of all I am a woman. Lol
Secondly, this entire comment is about the movie industry and how people hate on Hollywood as a whole because of a group of people that are pedophiles and I was commenting that we shouldn't group people as a whole and used the LGBT community as an example as people do the same thing - they assume all is bad - and you pulled out my one comment about how shocking it's been for me to be called mentally ill (and for emphasis I said because I like kinky sex). Did I say because I like threesomes with hot beautiful women and give details no, I didn't. I didn't give details. you are the one that went nuts when you saw someone talking about why they have been offended by those who think people who have threesomes deserve a place in hell, should die or need medication. I should be allowed to clarify why I am offended. It is offensive when people call people who are kinky deviants or mentally ill.
And it's obnoxious when someone doesn't scroll past a post and instead gives a huge monologue telling someone they shouldn't talk about it online.
What would be worth digging in your review of black mirror and their warning of AI - don't forget the dog cops and political pig fxcking or all the other tech themes they have going on, are all real - is their server called Steamberry. I thought this was weird because usually each episode is self contained and this was the first thing I noticed in multiple episodes.

Thanks Jeff! Noel's link is great cuz it has the video. And lots on twitter today too. Appreciate you! ☺️💕
Thanks for explaining that so well and reminding me that as Hollywood is getting hammered for their pedophile cover up and agenda pushing, we need to be kind to the industry as a whole. Those in this industry do have a big voice, and it's valued.
I put some info on black mirror in my comments to Jeff for a follow up. If you haven't seen it or it's not being talked about in your circles, it's worth sharing to raise awareness.
Thanks for filling us in on this. It sounds like an actor’s life is similar to a musician’s—struggling to put together a living wage. I am happy to hear about the pushback to the vax. I am a violinist in a professional orchestra. Only three musicians refused the vax, including myself. I missed a year of concerts, but it was worth it.
I was a script supervisor working on Indies when Covid hit. I was blessed since I could easily retire; no way, I would take the death vax.
It was unbelievable when they had the mask with the mouth cut out for the wind instruments. Did you see that?
Glad you stayed strong
I hear ya! I missed out on work on one show in particular, but I'm glad I didn't cave ☺️
Monica; Glad that you missed only one year, I missed 2 1/2 (Double bassist). Was ready to sue the AFM for not defending our right to work but looks like we purebloods will be back this fall!
That’s interesting. Thanks for sharing. It’s easy to lump in the writers with everyone else. I’m not “for” AI being used at all! And what you are saying makes sense.
On another note: I read (from an insider basically whistleblowing on her) that Fran Drescher was all in on the shots and mandates…..until it became unpopular. Then she switched sides. Do you know if that is true?
I'm not sure but I hadn't heard that. I'm guessing like everyone else, she believed the narrative in the beginning and thought the vaccines would work, then when we all saw they didn't, she didn't see a reason for us all not to get back to work. It was really the national executive director, Crabtree-Ireland, who was the hardcore pusher for them. When other industries were dropping the mandates and getting back to work, it was he who was saying no and Drescher was pushing back against him saying to stop the mandates so we could get back to work. Those of us non-vax couldn't work, even though shows were filming. She was trying to get everyone back to work and talking about how it didn't matter anymore, vaxxed people were still getting it and shows were still testing daily, so her fight was a good one, saying we're doing our best with testing, so there's no reason everyone shouldn't be back at work. It was Crabtree-Ireland being the A-hole, frankly.
Thanks for clarifying.
I believe she is now divorced from Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai, and imagine his views must certainly have had some effect on her perspective.
She was just using him to get to me........ just saying.
Later Jay
Thank you for sharing this. I honestly thought all of Hollywood was a bunch of far left wing nut jobs. I'm glad I'm wrong.
The reason you are striking makes a lot of sense to me. No one has the right to pay a person for one day and then use their image however they wish forever.
Hi Debs- I’ve heard of this that it was really about AI and it was coming as a strike. Kudos to you for fighting back against it! Kudos for fighting the jab! Not sure how you survive hollywierd but hey I live near LA.
Hang in there!! Sadly, many many jobs will be gone if AI blows up that so many people will
be out of jobs. :(
That's what's so scary about this...it's not only the film industry, A.I. could replace so many jobs across the board 😢
Thank you so much for enlightening us with that important information and perspective!!
HERE, HERE, Debs--I knew SAG and AFSTRA represented ALL entertainment workers and most of them are "gig" workers, so your explaining what's REALLY behind this strike is VERY helpful! AI is going to replace ALL OF US if the technocrats and potentates have their "way"!
I had no idea, thanks for explaining to us
Since Brandon is hell bent on forgiving billions in student debt, it should be tied to military participation. You know, we forgive your student loan for that useless degree, but you must serve in the military for four years. Problem solved. We will either have a lot less student loans to forgive or extra bodies for the military to use in ukraine.
There are already student loan repayment incentives for enlisting. The problem is that most of those people who have student loans wouldn't qualify for enlistment.
There's qualifications?? That's got to be a low bar to cross..
I remember fosterkids aging out of the system at 18, having received no education or skills to better their lives, and upon realizing they would not be music or sports stars, opting for the military. Bed, board, and spending money - better than working at DQ. It's another taxpayer-funded government assistance program
I was raised in a family where all my male relatives joined some branch of the service. It included all branches: Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force. Of course, that was the draft. Some were in during war time, others not, but ALL of them came out of the service with skills they would not have had before. It brought them good jobs which put their kids through college or enabled them to start their own businesses. The draft should be reinstated at least as a two-year requirement (like Israel) and it should include females. It instills a sense of patriotism and discipline and pride in themselves together with teaching them to work as a team. Okay, many did not conform but the majority did. I see the young people of today roaming around aimlessly, getting into trouble and getting others into trouble with them. Something needs to change.
No, the draft should not be instituted which would require my children to receive all the vaccines, the CRT training, the woke craziness and anti-God! The military now is not the military of the past!
👍
I was a foster kid in the 60’s, horrible system but I still became an RN. I knew I had to take care of myself. No handouts!
I’m not sure that sending pudgy, purple-haired, man-haters to our defense is the best way to stay free.
Can we make them pick up trash and needles in the homeless drug slums instead?
My youngest son is a Marine NCO. He deeply dislikes female Marines, as they enlist, get preferred treatment in boot, then proceed to get fat and lazy and have inflated attitudes to match their posteriors.
He's out every morning at 05:30 PT'ing these fat slobs.
From his perspective, he spends WAY too much time trying to run their asses outta his Marine Corps.
And don't even get him started on the Navy.
I have never understood this male-female equality stuff as it pertains to physical abilities, and I'm female. Our bodies are not like men's bodies and there is nothing wrong with that. Believe me, I respect all women who choose to serve this country and do so with honor, but I don't see how lazy and overweight female marines can do a whole lot.
Where's the "equity" in the military? They're always telling us there's no difference between men and women. So I would say if women want to enter the military (in any sort of combat type function) they should have to meet the exact same standards as men in terms of physical fitness. No exceptions. If they can't match the men, they're out or at least, put in the back to office functions.
That's a long-standing conflict--my son was Navy (crypto tech on board the USS Arkansas his entire hitch) and there were, of course, "jar heads" on board ships. They just gave each other a wide berth unless there was trouble brewing on the high seas!
Yeah, I know - my two eldest brothers volunteered for Viet Nam; one Navy, the other Marine Corps.
ANCHOR CLANKERS & JAR HEADS--SALUTE!!
Well, they wouldn’t be allowed to have purple hair; they may not HAVE any hair after the company barber gets a hold of them. Discipline is what they need. They’ve got too much time on their hands and you know what they say about idle hands being the devil’s workshop.
Outstanding! Make them put some skin in the game. Some countries have mandatory service requirements, which I’ve long thought might give the younger generation a sense of patriotism and/or pride in our country (and not THAT kind of pride!). 🇺🇸
Great idea. Truly great.
I have always felt our young people should serve the country--in SOME capacity for 2 years as they do in Israel and some other Middle Eastern countries. Would toughen them up in so many ways that are positive to their maturation and holistic outlook on life in general.
Hey Elaine H .... As my name suggests.... Brandon is not your bro . 💩
Normally I would agree but not for this current military and its leadership.
🙌
Awesome idea, Elaine!
My son serves in the Marines. I have not been fully at peace since this corrupt dolt weaseled his way into office. I pray for the safety of my son and all our kids working under a very corrupt regime. I don’t know why this is happening, but I pray for better days.
First of all, please thank your Marine for his honorable service (from a grateful grandmother of 6, one of whom is Navy).
I join you in concern in these times & pray for their protection. I’ll especially remember your son when I’m praying for my grandson.
Your grandson is in my prayers❤️
Semper Fi, MoM!
To filter out Hollywood smut, VidAngle removes content you don’t want to hear or see. It’s pretty amazing and let’s you control exactly what comes out of the screen. Have used it for years and really like the service.
It reminds me of how movies on TV used to be filtered for “community standards”. Removing the garbage almost never impacts the story line.
VidAngel is associated with Angel Studios that put out Sound of Freedom.
Sounds great.....but the movies are still racking up eyes watching, right? Don’t the get royalties based upon views or something?
Not supporting such movies seems to me the only way to get the message across.
For some movies it will look like the redacted files the alphabet agencies give to congressional investigation committees. Not much left than porn, smut and swearing.
Love that! We also stream PureFlix which is great because we can choose any movie or show and know that it’s Christian or at least clean and truly family friendly.
My daughter got it for their tv, they love it.
You do know that Angel Studios is owned by 2 Mormon guys--I'm all for decent viewing and found Angel Studios as a result of binge watching The Chosen for the past 8 months! Mormonism sticks in my spiritual "crawl" so to speak as they disavow the blood atonement of Jesus Christ the Lord.
Angel or angle?
Angel. https://www.vidangel.com/
You’d like it way better than forwarding :) it’s pretty seamless in most cases. It integrates with Apple TV, Netflix and Amazon. There’s been many lawsuits from Hollywood fighting the service over the years and it doesn’t work with all streaming.
Hollywood writers and actors on strike, and productions halted. So sad. Now I won't get to see "Lego Guardians Of The Galaxy Battle Gay Godzilla" on my fall break.
Being that I haven't watched anything made after around 1995 in years (aside from Youtubers working on cars) I'm good with the strike. In fact I welcome it. Less garbage being churned out to poison my kids. In the mean time, Rockford Files and Columbo reruns are fine with me.
I had a friend who was a wonderful actor. He died in 2015 at age 86. Somewhere around the year 2000 I told him I missed seeing him act because it had been a few years since he was in anything and whether he thought about acting again. He told me about a conversation he had in 1995 on a film set with a friend who was one of the techs about how corporatized, I think is the word he used, everything in Hollywood had become, and he had no desire to act again.
Same w/ medicine today...corporatized! Hospitals, doctor groups, etc.
So true!
Hubbie and I don't even own a TV since 1997. When we visit our families who watch TV 24/7, I feel like a deer in the headlights. Also very awkward at what is actually on the screen. I'm very glad we don't have such a thing in our mostly peaceful home.
Same here Lorita.
I felt as though on another planet when I had to sit through some stupid talk show while waiting at the dentist office. There must be a high degree of idiocy and dysfunction one would need to have in order to believe that watching that garbage is a good use of time.
Isn't this the truth? And the TV is always on some lowest common denominator channel that assumes people waiting are drooling morons, who are entertained by salacious gossip and watching stupid people act like savages.
I've gotten up and turned the TV off when the show was debasing or overtly sexual. Just stood up, said out loud, "I've had enough of this", walked over, and turned it off. Others in the room thank me, no one has ever complained.
Makes me wonder what the people working there really think of us.
Recently stopped by to say hello to my oldest brother and sis-in-law. (They live a solid 8-hour drive from us, and we were in their neighborhood.)
TV was on when we came in, and I didn't realize it, but they never turned it off the entire visit - just muted it.
We're with you. Ditched our TV years ago, and ditched cable even more years ago. Life is so much better now.
Good approach!
I stretch the window a little later, though. A lot of good stuff was made up through the early Obama era. Woke nonsense started creeping in regularly around then, though it wasn't until Trump got in and TDS infected everything that Hollywood got truly insufferable.
I go way farther back. When they brought the faggotry to LA Law back in the 90s, I quit them. I haven’t even had network TV on my programming package for over 20 years.
I decided having the tornado warnings on local TV wasn’t worth the money.
Lots of crap on TV, since probably the 80s, certainly 90s. But good stuff has been made right up to the present (rarely). E.g. Monk (2002-2010), blue bloods (2010-current), Malcolm in the middle (2000-2007), the middle (2009-16), American Housewife (2016-21)
*not that there aren't minor parts or scenes that are problematic, but overall clean shows.
I still remember that the most graphic sex scene I had ever seen on network tv was on LA Law. The 90s was the Clinton decade where promiscous sex was being written int otherwise good comedies, to change the culture's morality. Friends and Frasier, which I otherwise loved for the characters and good writing, come to mind.
Yes. Anything after 2016 usually gets passed over. TDS and wokeness really kicks in.
Hah! My husband and I thought we were the very few watching Rockford Files an Columbo! :)
All 3 of my kids, ages 24, 22, and 19 (and us) watch Columbo!
It's kinda the way I felt about the Catholic Church cancelling Novus Ordo masses.
People had no other option than to visit or watch the Traditional Latin Mass.
Darn the bad luck. LOL
The lower eschelon of actors and actresses struggle to survive.
One of the issues is that Studios want to pay them for filming one day, say at the beginning of a TV series, and turn their film into AI so they can continue to use their images and voices in perpetuity without paying the actual actor/actress. Sounds like theft to me. Forcing to sell yourself to AI. Makes the “background” people poor.
Comes from a background actress.
Don’t think of only the celebrities, think of the whole picture.
With the evil and satanic cabal in control of Hollywood, it's safer to remain far from that industry.
Just don't have the Lego version of the US Capitol...or the FBI will arrest you...for J6 or something.
Funny (indeed). True ( likely).
They should carry around signs "Go woke go broke!" Nasty bunch of useless idiots. Oh darn. No woke prequels or sequels. What am I going to do? 😉
I might actually pay to see a LEGO Guardians of the Galaxy. The rest ... not so much. ;)
I do highly recommend Sound of Freedom!
YES!!! God’s Children are not for Sale
But Gay Godzilla shoots AIDS from his eyes and spits Monkeypox on his enemies.
Seems like there will be some unused theaters we should capitalize on. Let’s start a list of topic ideas: Covid bioweapon, vaccine damage, died suddenly, government/social media censorship, Biden crime family…
We’re defunding the police and reducing our military response & readiness around the world. We no longer build ships. Our currency is now a choice rather than a standard enforced by the world’s strongest military force. In the last 6months 48% of the world’s population BRICS + RUS +MEX + VEN just moved to China’s new Yuan for int’l settlements. Both Blinken (neocon) and Yellen were just reduced to beggars on separate last minute trips to attempt to dissuade the CCP. They were sent home babbling some nonsense w/re: “constructive exchange” which is an empty hat-in-hand. And that! after declaring One China to the world. All without a shot being fired. So today whomever runs this shitshow put out an Exec Order to commit 3000 US troops to visit NATO. JFC I would love to be a fly on the wire between Putin & Xi last night. It’s more standup tragedy than the troll Zelenskyy’s Spring Offensive. It would be comedy if The People weren’t always the ones dying. At least that cross-dressing- loser 4star Chairman of JTCOS, Gen Milley, is retiring to spend more time with his/her hairdresser. So there’s that.
Don't despair. We still have that asswipe and traitor, Allen, to lead. Lord help us. 🙏 And they wonder why military enrollment is down. Who wants to serve and risk their lives for this joke of a government and the losers leading it.
Fat Gen. Milley's replacement is even worse.
Complains about "racism" or something all the time.
Accepted to Air Force Academy when most applicants don't get accepted.
Fighter pilot...when most military pilots never attain that specialty.
4-stars...when most officers never attain that rank.
Chairman of Joint Chiefs...when most officers never attain that position.
But...but...racism...or something.
It must be embarrassing Russia is losing a proxy war against us, huh?
😆😆😆
Zelenskyy will be tap dancing with abrams tank shaped shoes over putins grave.
Дякую Banderovets Benn!
508 days into the 3 day war Sean!
And In 5 weeks of the Ukrainian counter offensive they liberated more land than
Russia conquered in 7 months of 2023.
On average 1 russian general is getting sacked or killed every 5-6 days in Ukraine or Russia. Popov, tsokov, Surovikin, and a few more.
The news Jeff doesn’t want you to know :)
😂
508 days later Russia still has failed to achieve any of its goals.
*Yellen (halfwit)
Halfwit is generous.
: )
Grandma Half-Wit
Yep, thunk zizactly that. Yet generosity ain't no bad thing... when not in excess 🤔
Shots have been fired, billions and billions of them.
We had 10,000 soldiers in Poland and the baltics under trump. This ain’t new.
Cluster bombs are new. This plus the troops are an abominable decision
Cluster bombs aren’t new.
Ukraine has had them for about 8-9 months courtesy of Israel and turkey.
The troops aren’t new either, we have had stop loss before and folks get recalled during trumps time.
And Ukraine used them.
Of course they did, to good effect. Watching 29 Russians get holes and blown to kingdom come
Was interesting.
Russia is documented as having used cluster munitions in downtown Kharkiv in February and march of 2022.
It’s not an escalation when your enemy is already doing ti
Delighting in the fall or death of your enemies is an abomination in the sight of G-d:
Proverbs 24:17-18
17 Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:
18 Lest the Lord see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.
Hmmm. I vaguely recall another conversation with you here as being rather distasteful.
I also think you may want to question your trusted sources.
B2N. Please feel free to respond, but your somewhat glee at any deaths is very revealing, likewise distasteful, and as I recall, you know more than everyone else anyway, so any reply is trumped by your superior knowledge and wisdom. I guess I’ll just take my ignorance and bask in it somewhere else. So. please consider the matter dropped, from this end. Thanks.
Biden is doing this the hard way. The easiest fix to the cocaine mishap would have been super simple. Just get Fauci to backdate a cocaine prescription for Hunter. Problem solved. Say it helps him stay on task when filing his taxes.
I was thinking the maybe the Secret Service's strategy is to avoid a direct confrontation with Biden or Hunter, by saying, "We can't say who left the drugs in the White House, but for everyone's safety, we're going to be doing a daily sweep through the entire WH with a drug sniffing dog. Especially when Hunter is here. For safety."
Hunter can't go on "living" like this forever, it's likely to end only one way. There's probably pre-written press releases in a WH filing cabinet somewhere, explaining away his upcoming overdose death a dozen different ways. What a sad waste of a life.
“Reckless Brinksmanship”—the perfect slogan for Biden/Harris 2024!
There are a lot of Christians on this Substack. And many, many needs for prayers. What about an offshoot prayer line where people could post requests for prayers and uplifting comments. These could be personal as well as for our country- which desperately needs it. There’s power in numbers.
Pray constantly. Pray for our country. Pray for the children. Pray for the world. Pray to the One True and everlasting God, the Triune God of Abraham, isaac and Jacob. The only God who is.
✝️🕊🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💌
That is one of the things that drew me to C&C over 2 years ago. I pray every day and in every way when I am reading through the daily post and the comments. There are many prayerful comments each and every day. This is one of the very best daily posts we could ever want for a great mix of news, humor and Godly friends who offer prayer all the time.
With the advent of AI in entertainment, I say Bring Back Max Headroom!
Max was literally A Head of his time!
🤣
First thing I thought when I saw “Lisa.” Max was a hoot!
I think they just improved the animation and turned him into Laurence O’Donnell. He looks like Max to me. 🤪
It appears as if Resident Briben's handlers don't care how many Ukrainians are lost in this war, otherwise they would be seeking peace. They would rather seek profits. Greedy, immoral bastards....
Peace is bad for business. That's been true for decades, centuries even.
Peace Sells. But Who's Buying?
--Megadeth
Profit margins are better in war, though....
Precisely
And it looks like they are going to serve up some Americans too. Reservists. Yeah right. I am sure they will be advisors on the ground in Ukraine making sure no Ukrainians get the idea to stray from the nato/us narrative. The Reservists better watch their social media usage as the Russians monitor that and use it to pinpoint whatever restaurant or pizza joint they may be at. And then take them out.
I can't imagine anyone wanting to go into our military right now. Since Obama it's been really wrecked.
Reservists have generally been around for while and want to earn a salary while still serving their country and many have only a few years left to complete their service for retirement pay. They tend to go from active duty to IRR or other occasional reserve status.
These are not reservists who train monthly and who are activated from 2-6 weeks per year.
They are moms and dads who love their country but maybe don’t want to sever from service to us.
Let’s hope they do not become “cannon fodder.”
Biden will be checking his watch again when the bodies are off-loaded at Dover AFB.
Much like the tragic train derailment in Ohio, I wouldn't even expect him to show.
Amen.
Retired military here...US military is toast.
Recruiting commercials for China/Russia/USA...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKjFyq938TA
Kathleen - THAT is sickening.
"....it begins with a little girl raised by two moms..."
Are you effin' kidding me ?!
And it looks like a Disney cartoon - well, the minute I was able to watch of it.
Whatever happened to:
THE FEW. THE PROUD. THE MARINES.
???
Whoever put that YouTube video together did an excellent job of making the point the US military is woke and weak.
China and Russia knows that the Pentagon is weak.
It is a disgrace to every military member who died for this country.
You're being too kind.
Exactly KJ. I read all the comments and I'm struck by the disconnect between views on the Gov't and the military and the views about "military service." Since WWII, it has been so en-grained in the American psyche that "serving" in the US military is honorable and righteous and almost on par with spiritual sanctification. This is an image the USG has cultivated in Americans in order to keep the enlisted bodies flowing for their meat-grinding foreign wars. I'm not questioning the intentions of any individual who enlists. I'm saying this is a con and young, impressionable people are conned by this idea of military honor and glory to enlist. Military soldiers are recruited for one purpose: to train young men to kill and, once trained, to kill without question whoever the Gov't identifies as an enemy. I don't think this is the same definition of "to serve" as is used in the Bible. But they use that word because of the connotation it carries.
The only time this "ethic" was questioned was during the Vietnam War when the USG forced young men to become trained killers through the draft and then forced to participate in the Vietnam meat grinder. Instinctively, many young minds questioned the legitimacy of that and became "draft resisters". Since then the USG has been much more careful to cultivate the "service" con.
How is serving a Gov't in the military honorable when that Gov't is dishonorable in it's actions? That question rather answers itself, doesn't it? America has not fought a defensive war since the War of 1812 when our enemy, the British Crown, attacked us once again. That was the last righteous war we fought. By definition, wars of aggression are not righteous, in spite of all the war propaganda. Every war since then the USG has engaged in has been wars of aggression.
Now the USG is clearly a proxy government for the CCP. EVERYTHING the O'Biden regime has done is to weaken and subjugate the American people and their spirit. We have essentially been taken over in a bloodless coup and we haven't even started to fight back.
...and the Vietnam draft targeted young black and white men who could not afford to go to college.
Ok if this doesn’t stop the presses I don’t know if there is any use in discussion. Between this utube video and the Andrew Tate interview with Tucker I have completely stopped in my tracks. Amaaaaaaaaaaaaazing.
Holy cow! Based on these 3 commercials we wouldn’t have a chance against Russia or China. Empowerment isn’t going to cut it on a battlefield.
Pronouns won't cut it on the battlefield either.
What about the young man whose goal was set at 11-12 yrs. old? Military academy then aviation? Years of hard work towards that goal. Finally a nomination, then acceptance.
Graduation & Commissioning. So many like him. And the storied USA has failed them by giving them the leadership they don’t deserve. They need our prayers more than ever (seriously, not a cliche)
US troops are already in Ukraine.
😭
Also there’s the necessary coverup of Biden’s extreme involvement in operating bio labs in Ukraine
Briden...good one!! Brilliant, in fact! 👍👏
Hahaha 🤣 Thanks! He has many nicknames. Almost too many to count...
I’m coming out as straight! Cudo’s to that woman ... she made my day. Thanks for the laughter headed into a glorious FL weekend, Jeff. 😂🇺🇸
This is why we must get our daily dose of sunlight, as it fights inflammation with daytime subcellular melatonin: https://romanshapoval.substack.com/p/how-to-treat-emf-radiation-part-1
I've heard that it's also good to avoid using sunglasses as often as you can, as to not hamper the conversion of vitamin D (was that the reason?).
If you are anyone else is interested, this is part one of a two part podcast (several hours) with Rick Rubin, Huberman and Jack Kruse which goes into granular detail. https://pca.st/episode/a04a96cb-511d-4f38-9711-958a16de11c7
That podcast is worth listening to twice. Break it up into bits. Took me a week to get through it, but well worth it. Thanks for sharing TT!
Yes - MSH (meloncyte-stimulating hormone) is in our eyes and skin - fights cancer but needs UV to work.
First we must regenerate ocular melatonin with infrared from the Sun in the AM: https://romanshapoval.substack.com/p/4-ways-sunglasses-harm-our-health.
Vitamin D is another story, as it takes UV-B combined with LDL cholesterol for it to be made in our skin. However if we don't get enough light in our eye, and get too much blue light from devices, then we destroy the vitamin A pathway, which then decouples from vit D, leading to a health cascade of crap.
Delicate balance...too much sun can contribute to development of cataracts.
Age probably way more than sunlight....
Too much sun might speed things up. https://www.floridaeyespecialists.com/blog/2022/08/can-the-sun-cause-cataracts/
The problem with this is that most studies on UV were done in labs, without the presence of infrared, which balances out blue, violet, and other more intense wavelengths, present in full spectrum Sunlight.
Yep. (Married to an eye MD). Heard that for years...but then, I grew up in Florida, visited the beaches often, sun burned more often than I care to admit and have yep, I had cataracts. But, know lots of friends who grew up literally ON THE BEACH, same age... none to minimal cataracts. It can go both ways. Probably genes play into it as well...?
Wearing sunglasses blocks our eyes from secreting anti-inflammatory melanocyte stimulating hormone, which helps us absorb more UV and turn it into heat that our body can use to fight inflammation: https://romanshapoval.substack.com/p/4-ways-sunglasses-harm-our-health
I would suspect that the color of the eyes also plays a part.
Blue and green more susceptible?
Could you ask your hubby?
So these eye specialists reference the WHO...
That is a problem at times. Although the WHO does state that ivermectin is one of most important medicines (just don't use it to treat covid).
There is a definite give and take...do I believe them or not? Are they accurate sometimes and not others?
