You know, something I have wondered is that although Jeff says that he thinks his anxiety some years ago was cured by intervention of God (I have heard similar stories where anxiety was cured by following the books of Claire Weekes or Barry McDonough, or doing The Lightning Process or cutting one's bond-with-an-abuser).....WHY would he choose to join questionable religious extremists rather than a balanced Christian denomination? Like choosing to join Jim Jones' People's Temple as opposed to a nice balanced Catholic or Presbyterian parish.

Jeff seems more discerning than to join the extremists. If Jeff wanted God, he is best found in the balanced Christian world.

Katie Andraski's avatar

What extremist group did he join?

A.'s avatar

That is probably a loaded question, meant to make me answer one way so that you can then yell in outrage that I've got it all wrong. A set-up, in other words.

Given the religious extremists who populate this comment forum, I think it's pretty obvious where Jeff has aligned himself. So I can see your response coming. I think you just want an opening to be able to get on a soap box and proselytize a certain narrative.

If that is so, I think less of him for doing it. Not because he claims to be a Christian (so am I), but that he claims to be part of an extremist group that is not really Christian at all. They are just the flip side of the WOKE extremists.

Katie Andraski's avatar

You still haven’t answered my question. What is the extremist group? Why do you think I want to get on a soap box and proselytize? What an odd response to a straightforward question. I’m just curious is all.

A.'s avatar

I did answer. Go re-read the response. Don't play games.

It is obvious that the extremist group is well-represented on this comment forum. So figure it out from there. The discussion is over if you cannot do that.

Phil Denter's avatar

You'll catch more flies with honey than you will with vinegar.

You claimed that Jeff joined an extremist group but then refuse to discuss it with someone engaging with you and your claim?

Not cool, man.

It’s hard to accept how quickly time passes. I was grabbing a shirt for work the other morning and noticed underneath was a shirt that was my older brother John’s. My sister had given me a few of his things years ago. It’s already been over 18 years since my brother passed away.

My brother John was a true patriot. Out of high school he signed up to become an Airborne Army Ranger. He dedicated himself to learning ninjitsu and had earned a black belt. He worked for 20 years as a prison guard, was a canine officer there and a sharpshooter at the prison.

Growing up, if any of us other three siblings ever had a problem with anyone, you could be sure to count on brother John to straighten it out, he protected those close to him. He was undyingly courageous when it came to sticking up for his family or what was right. John would give the shirt off his back to help a stranger as well.

During a shift at work his dog had pulled him off a 12’ wall. He ended up with 2 crushed discs in his back. Of coarse his doctors prescribed pain medicine, government approved oxycodone. That began years of suffering through addiction and all the pain and heartache that goes along with it. As strong as he was he couldn’t break free from the addiction and his life slowly fell apart. Inevitably they killed this strong patriotic soldier, my brother John, he was 48.

Selfishly, one of the things I miss the most about my oldest brother, he was always there, dependable, loyal, and strong. At the drop of a hat if you needed John, it didn’t matter where you were, he would always show up and offer a hand.

I picked up his shirt and put it on thinking if I could only have 1/2 of his courage, strength, loyalty or patriotism I would be twice the person I am today. I think of him all the time and when I see things like his shirt it’s a reminder of how precious the person was that once wore it.

There are so many great examples of courageous patriotic people we should draw strength from and understand how precious they are. We should learn from and enjoy these people in our lives while they’re around. As big and as strong as they are you don’t want to end up with a shirt or a hat or a picture of them and just then realize how truly precious they were. J.Goodrich

James - God bless you for sharing this bittersweet story.

My heart and prayers go out to you. I know no matter how many years pass by, the missing never leaves.

MattD's avatar

James, what an amazing brother you still have with you. Good never dies I believe but evil withers quickly. Thank you for sharing him with us. I’m sure you (like me) are looking forward to the day that you will be reunited with him and the rest of your loved ones in Heaven…for eternity. What a party that will be…

Indeed it will be the biggest Reunion party of the whole universe.

James Goodrich's avatar

Thank You MattD, he was the definition of an older brother to all of us siblings. So much life has happened here that I wish he could have physically seen. I look forward to seeing him one day.

MattD's avatar

James, I deeply understand and empathize your wish that your brother could have been here to experience first hand this life..and ongoing hands on influence of yours and your children’s. It’s hard to put into words right!? The promise that someday we will understand His ways better than we do now… is what I try to hold onto. It doesn’t feel like enough sometimes as over years the l have found myself thinking … if only Mom and Dad could be here for this moment.

Roger Beal's avatar

That oxycodone prescription sounds like something the pre-Trump V.A. would do.

Ask any surviving VN-era vet you know about how the V.A. has treated our soldiers who were exposed to Agent Orange, and developed cancer.

Kathleen Janoski's avatar

It took decades before the VA and Pentagon even acknowledged the harms of exposure to Agent Orange.

Cookie Dee's avatar

They may acknowledge it but they paper trail you to death and do nothing. My husband is a Vietnam vet. He has chronic arthritis throughout his body. Fused discs in his back etc. He has had this since he was thirty. The VA’s answer,” this did not occur while you were in country, so not covered” Of course it didn’t occur while in country, Agent Orange problems happen years later. We gave up. They won this one. God Bless America and all who serve and have served.

JudyC's avatar

Contact your local VFW and see if they can help. As far as I know, per my husband who is a member at our local VFW, it’s part of what they do for vets. I wouldn’t give up. Your husband is OWED this. God bless both of you and thank you (both) for his service.

Kathleen Janoski's avatar

Dealing with the VA's disability system is soul-sucking. Under the PACT Act, I think it has gotten a bit easier.

When I first filed my disability after military retirement, my compensation & pension (C&P) appointments were with VA staff. It was like "good cop, bad cop" and would often be so adversarial. They were VA medical staff who would do a regular VA appointment months later.

Because of all the wars and injuries, the VA now use contractors to do the C&P appointments. I actually prefer their indifference in dealing with me. They are just there to document my medical conditions.

You might want to have your husband reapply for a disability. It can be done online now, and tracked online.

I'm an old lady and have arthritis all through my body, it's osteoarthritis. I recently found that Dr. Makis on substack has a protocol that helps a lot and in some people, the arthritis is completely gone. I just started so it may take away all my pain, we will see.

Protocol is Ivermectin and fenbendazole. Take ivermectin every day and fenbendazole 3 times per week. I order my meds from:

https://www.resolvx.health/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email

I take one tablet ivermectin everyday and 1 1/2 tablets fenbendazole 3 times a week. Takes about a week for it to start helping the pain go away but it does work at least for me and for others. Hope this helps. Also, prayers for your husband, he shouldn't be suffering. He put his life on the line to fight a war that never should have been and govt rewarded him with lifelong pain and suffering. That's just plain evil. My first husband was a Vietnam war vet and he also had effects from Agent Orange but it wasn't nearly as bad for him as so many others, including your husband. Best of luck for your both and prayers, too.

Janet's avatar

We use ResolvX too for the IVM. BP Life for Fenben powder. It has worked great for hubby bladder cancer. 4 clear reports since spring 2025. These 2 kill the cancer stem cells that chemotherapy does not and why the cancer comes back.

Valoree Dowell's avatar

Qfter listening to Sec Hegseth above, I would respectfully suggest to those commenting here and below who got "not covered" or the like from the VA drop a note to him directly. Worth a try.

Kaycee's avatar

or to his chief of staff on X, if you follow Hegseth there are usually recommendations on who to follow and I have found that COS's tend to be on that list.

Valoree Dowell's avatar

good suggestion. v

LMWC's avatar

My husband suffers from psoriatic arthritis over much of his body. Also a Vietnam vet. The VA acknowledges it was probably caused by exposure to AO, he was a gunnery chief on several landing zones, but that’s not on the list, so nope. His cousin who was never near anywhere it was used, got 90% disability because he developed diabetes after being “in country”, and that was on the list!

CHop's avatar

Check out Dr. Makes substack. He has a patient who had good results with IVM, FenBen and DMSO for his arthritis. The Immortal chamber may also help. It did incredible things for the MVP quarterback this past NFL season

So sorry our government wouldn't help you.

GardenGranny's avatar

I think it’s worth a snail mail letter to Pete Hegseth and/or a visit to a local VFW for someone to help with a new appeal, for if someone with both cylinders working reviews it, it’s possible to get some retroactive compensation. Sending love and caring to your husband and you for the VA to have truth and discernment for your patriot husband.

Truth Seeker's avatar

Just for clarification purposes. There is no question that the VA in the past has ignored vets by denial and kicking the can down the road.

"itis" simply means inflammation, arth refers to joints

Discs degenerative mostly predictably and slowly. Joints fuse when degeneration has progressed significantly.

The pain syndromes are from the inflammation, mostly. Hubby needs a doc who can guide him through the detox phases while avoiding diet and lifestyle choices that add fuel to the fire.

Mary Mc's avatar

I have a very close and precious friend who has agent Orange related cancer. While we are getting to be "that age" I worry and dread the day I get that message. 😢

Kaycee's avatar

you should recommend the ivermectin fenbendazole protocol to him. it might be the thing that saves him.

Mary Mc's avatar

I did. As they say, you can lead a horse to water... 😢

Roger Beal's avatar

Over the past ten years, I lost two old friends to cancers which we believe were related to AO exposure. These guys passed in their late 60s / early 70s. The VA's argument was basically, "You cannot prove causation, but if you do get cancer, come see us for treatment" ... which was too late in both cases.

GardenGranny's avatar

I notice who is president has a real effect on VA protocols. Shortly after Trump signed an Executive Order first term about vets going where they want if VA is too busy, my brother had cancer and disgustingly limited care in an old, dark Daytona Beach hospital. Furious I invited myself into an office to complain that’s no way to treat a veteran who served our country. The woman perked right up. “Oh he’s a veteran?” The very next day, my brother was moved to a new hospital in Ormond Beach with glass walls, where his treatments were in an overstuffed recliner chair looking out on a pond with swans swimming. True story.

I would like to box the ears of anyone so ignorant they (intentionally) do not treasure and respect our precious veterans.💜💙🇺🇸

Melissa Collins's avatar

I am so sorry that your brother left too soon .... he sounds like he was an amazing man I would have looked up to. My dad was a true patriot who served 33 years, from the end of the Korean War, went to VietNam twice, and was at the Pentagon as well as other bases. He retired as a Rear Admiral, and was ready to suit up at any other conflict despite being retired. I am immensely grateful to our military and am proud to be the daughter of one (he passed in 2013 RIP). I am thrilled Hegseth is planning on reinstating with full benefits, to those who were dismissed, and also allowing them to come back. I still feel righteous anger from 2020.

PatrioticMama's avatar

Thank you, Melissa, for your wonderful dad who served so faithfully! Your mom, and you also " served" in being the supportive family on the home front that he needed. I understand that service, because I am a Navy wife of 37 years. My six kids understand that service as well. We all observed many times over the years saying "goodbye", and saying "welcome home"! Thank God for Pete Hegseth, a true warrior and leader!

My oldest son, a long time police officer, was terminated from his city police force, because of refusing the jab. Tremendously stressful time for him and his family. He is now with our local sheriff's department, amd appreciated as a hero and a true professional! Our liberal big city in this county lost a fabulous officer because of their illegal stupidity. He, along with the other eleven officers of that police force should, likewise, be compensated, but it will never happen in this liberal state of Washington. We, here in our family, still have righteous anger for 2020 as well!!

Friendly reminder to vote angry and hard in the midterms.

Remember that Communist regimes in the past 100 years have murdered >100 million people.

Keep this in mind when the left muses about "what to do with" Trump voters in the future.

My favorite part about the Virginia debacle is the Ds argument would have required the court to declare that early voting is unconstitutional.

If that's the result they prefer, well...

Trump 1.0 was naive enough to actually think he could trust the Republicans in Congress and that many Ds would be reasonable... he learned how to handle both much better this time. He had 4 years to recover and plan.

Kenpowoman's avatar

I saved a meme about Bass that appeared on my FB timeline a while ago, and it's not sourced, but I'm pretty sure it can be confirmed. "In 1983 the Capitol was bombed (Washington, D.C.). This bombing was carried out by a left-wing group called the M19. The M19 was radicalized by the South Los Angeles Venceremos Brigade. The Brigade was founded by current communist/Democrat mayor Karen Bass."

Mary Mc's avatar

It would be devastating to the D party all the way around. Unfortunately, neither will get any support from the legislature or city council but we can always hope that it is just the beginning of change.

Hard to believe, but it's been almost two decades since the end of Ronald Reagan's presidential terms. He left CA in so much better shape then... how did a state that helped elect him to two terms become so mired in Democrat pols and policies?

PSALM 100:1B-2, 3, 5

Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth.

Worship the Lord with gladness;

come into his presence with singing.

Know that the Lord is God.

It is he that made us, and we are his;

we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

For the Lord is good;

his steadfast love endures forever,

and his faithfulness to all generations.

I am so glad I memorized this Psalm as a youngster! It has lead me through many dark places and hard times! Oh, that Scripture memorization would become beloved again! Our Sunday school teachers, two elderly, successful teachers in the 50s and through the 60's pressed it into our hearts by sending us notes full of Scriptures to memorize in the most novel of places... A new (used) book bought at a thrift store, an inexpensive Christmas craft, a Halloween treat, a hand crafted birthday card, a random hand made 'thinking of you' or 'missed you in Sunday school' or 'get well soon.' Every single gift from them produced a beautiful memory of a never forgotten verse.

Amazingly the words of this song fit perfectly into the Mikado's "Brightly dawns our wedding day." I had seen the operetta and a few days later read the 100th Psalm, and my head sang it to this number. I prepared a vocal score and our church choir sang it. It was so fun!

Most modern democrats, are products of generations that began with their red diaper doper babies parents. When these original pampered communists took over the education system in the sixties the demoralization of the young began. Now we have generations of grown children that have been taught to hate their own country, our history and themselves. The Virginia protests of the ruling and the continued assassination attempts and threats are just 2 clear examples of the insane violence communism brings to a society.

I’m sure losers like Mark Hamill have shelves full of participation trophies.

David Roberts's avatar

The education system, as designed by the Rockefellers et al, was intended not so much to educate as to create workers. Children became used to being cooped up for the work day. You can educate a child in 2-4 hours (max) at home and let them run around and exercise the rest of the day - or do chores. Become a useful human.

This is absolutely true!! I homeschooled for a couple of years, & was amazed how little time it actually took to teach my precious kids strong core subjects. Teaching 1:1 (or even 1:2 or 3), is so far superior to trying to wrangle a classroom full of kids, each who learn differently, behave or misbehave. Plus, if you aren’t teaching how many genders there are and why 🤪😠, & faux American History, etc., it streamlines the whole process. When I then put my kids in a very academically strong parochial school, their transition was easy-peasy. Thankful!

Well....to be fair....homeschoolers have only one or a couple more kids to deal with. Brick and mortar schools have 30 kids in a room, most of whom are not taught manners at home...

CL Shoemake's avatar

I get your point, for sure. But I did have a very sweet and very industrious neighbor who homeschooled her TWELVE kiddos!! And those were the brightest, most well mannered and social little people! She not only did a fabulous job with them, but somehow found time to sew for them,(& even one of my kids when we visited them a few years later! How DID she do it??), cook, go to church regularly with her brood, etc. Miracle was she was the calmest, most involved mama and lady. 🙏😍. As an aside, I do have a couple of siblings that have been public school teachers for lot of years. 😊

LMWC's avatar

I agree. Most of the teachers I know try to do a good job. The teacher unions have ruined public education. They demand bloated state education budgets and get them if the states are run by Dems, (many are). The budgets never help with better education. Hire more “staff”, most of it administrative, build bigger buildings for theaters, gymnasiums, athletic complexes, that sit empty much of the time as enrollments decline. Some of this is on parents who want a large, polished babysitting establishment and not a place of actual education. During the eras of one room schools where 8 grades were on one room, the older kids helped with the younger kids, much as it was with families back then.

Having survived the hippie cult, I’m astounded at how successful that idiotic movement was. It gave us the seeds for abortion, feminism, family destruction, homosexuality, abuse of women, homelessness, drug addiction, alcoholism, lawlessness, witchcraft, satanists, assisted suicide, abolishment of capital punishment, sexual and physical abuse of children, racial tension and every imaginable evil under the sun. All in the name of Peace, love and brotherhood.

It was a huge delusion that apparently swept most of the world. Looking back on it, I, coming from a strict religious background, was taken aback, even then, at how society folded and collapsed and welcomed it.

It is going to be a hard road back to normalcy; but a good road, blessed by God.

CHop's avatar

I didn't have a strict religious background, but I went against the grain and left the corporate world to raise my children. I was laughed at by some, shunned by others, but I built a great network of others that made the same choice I did. I was blessed to be able to do it, but also didn't wear designer clothes, didn't take lavish vacations, and rarely dinned out. I have not once regretted my decision.

You were lucky, because the dumbing down of America pretty much began when reading was turned over to Dr. Seuss. After WW2, Geisel was hired to write children's books that were limited to a handful of words. The thinking was that kids were unable to learn too many new words in a short period of time. That was followed by the idiotic "See Spot run" books, also with very limited vocabularies. For an accurate account of the dumbing down of Americans education, read John Taylor Gatto's book "The Underground History of American Education." Horrible American education predates the current era by over 70 years.

It’s hard looking back and realizing we boomers missed what was going on in education. We blindly believed that educators were well intended. We took our eye off the ball for decades while they were entrenching radical idealists.

Gloria Magee's avatar

Not all of us. I saw the difference in the education my own brother got that was just 4 years younger than me. I also got a teaching degree in case I had to work and saw first hand all the things being taught to educators. It’s the primary reason I wanted to homeschool my children: to keep them from the brainwashing. Well. After being able to ‘train them in the way they should go.’ That was the first.

But I’ve been a ‘researcher’ for a long time now so questioning has been a standard for me.

Thank goodness there were some of us that paid attention! Bravo for homeschooling your kids. Wish more could/would do the same. It’s worth a lot of sacrifice to do it.

"...boomers missed what was going on in education"

No, we didn't. Boomers protested and petitioned to prevent right-brain activating subjects from being removed from the public school curriculum.

If you want to know how best to educate your child, see how the Elite educate their children. Research the exclusive private schools in Switzerland and see their HEAVY right-brain activating curriculum, Music, Arts, Philosophy, Debate, Language (Latin), Poetry, etc.

And NO contact sports. Instead, Cricket, Fencing, Tennis, Golf, Polo, etc. NO CONTACT SPORTS.

And its not the Democrats, or the Liberals, or the Republicans dumbing down Americans and their children, its Rockfeller and City of London controlling America's educational system.

If you have children, teach them to speak in rhyme. Rhyming activates a spectrum of right-brain areas. Rhyme, not all the time, just when its fine. ;)

And NO CONTACT SPORTS, and stick-straight posture.

James, I don't know exactly about our world changing so much as the "people" in our world have changed immensely.

My wife and I moved to a state north of where we grew up a couple years before Covid became official, in order to be near other family members.

As soon as the lies about the bioweapon that was released started, family members bought the official narrative and prepared to take the injections.

We of course read extensively books being released from doctors and scientists who the government disparaged and

used their influence to destroy.

As we refused the official narrative and the experimental injections, we were isolated from family that thought "we" were the crazy ones.

Yes, the world indeed has changed. The global cabal's plan at world chaos ensued.

We were warned about what was coming by Leon Skousen, an FBI Agent who published "The Naked Communist" in 1961 complete with a list of "45 Communist Goals". We cannot dismiss or overlook the role of Communism in sabotaging and undermining the unique tenets of Western Civilization. It hasn't happened overnight. None of this is surprising if you understand what's been going on in public education for the last 50-60 years.

These goals were read into the Congressional Record in 1963 when nearly everyone in the U.S., especially the WWII veterans in Congress, understood the Communist threat. The entire public education system must be overhauled from K-college. Parents have no clue about what is occurring in their schools unless they're paying close attention; when they do, they remove their children from public education and homeschool them or send them to private Christian/parochial schools. Those are the only solutions available right now.

We're at the point we are now because our major institutions were stealthily overtaken and sabotaged from within by Communists, and the political Left has totally embraced these goals, whether overtly or covertly. There has been a concerted and now successful effort to dumb down the public school system and sabotage the country from within. The teachers unions are led by admitted Marxists! America's teachers [what other profession is unionized?] ,and most parents are products of this school system! As Dr. Thomas Sowell said in 2001, "The big problem in the long process of dumbing down the schools is that you can reach a point of no return. How are parents who never received a decent education themselves to recognize that their children are not getting a decent education?"

Read Communist Goals #17-32 (see link below) and you'll see how this has been accomplished, with the complicity of the legacy media, Hollywood, the courts and especially the Marxist teachers unions who have basically sabotaged public education. The majority of these goals have been achieved, and we're seeing their results now, especially in the journalism schools whose graduates comprise the legacy media.

Those of us who escaped this brainwashing undoubtedly came from families who were Christian (e.g., had a moral foundation not based on materialism) and were already conservative in outlook, or we converted as adults before we had or as we were having our families.

NOTE: These goals were first published on the Internet in 1997, when grassroots publishing via the Worldwide Web went mainstream. I was fortunate enough to be working for a high-tech company then that was an early pioneer in the Internet's development. This website explains the meaning and significance of each of those goals.

I am concerned about turnout, as conservatives stayed home in our local April elections and handed the city council and school board to the D's. MO did re-draw their map to make the 5th competitive, and there are a host of candidates that will drive interest in the 5th, but the 4th is pretty much set with incumbent Mark Alford for August primary. But several ballot initiatives and local county races in Nov that NEED big conservative turnout. Most conservative groups have seen number of attendees at meetings dropping and too many have just disengaged since "Trump won" in 2024. So I keep beating the "our work is far from over" drum and hope for the best.

Juju's avatar

This is what Grok returned:

No, no U.S. states deny independents (unaffiliated or undeclared voters) the right to vote in midterm general elections

Midterm elections are general elections, open to all registered voters regardless of party affiliation. Your voter registration status (Democrat, Republican, independent, or other) does not restrict your ballot choices or eligibility in these elections. You can vote for any candidate on the ballot.

Why the Confusion Exists

Restrictions on independents apply only to primary elections (where parties select nominees), not general elections:

- In closed primary states (e.g., Florida, New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Kentucky, Nevada, Oregon, and others—roughly 13–16 states depending on the exact rules), independents generally cannot participate in major party primaries.

- In open or semi-closed primaries, independents often have more options.

- These primary limits do not carry over to the general election ballot in November.

A priceless tweet from former VA AG Jason Miyares

https://x.com/JasonMiyaresVA/status/2052909180369916159

And from the NY Post article about the VA SC decision, this jewel from the moronic governor of MA, who does not seem to know MA long ago gerrymandered away all Republic representatives.

"It was particularly comical when Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey pledged to join the redistricting fray, even though her state is so badly gerrymandered that it’s elected zero Republicans to the House since the 1990s."

Jackson74's avatar

To clarify part of the discussion of VA redistricting.

1. It required AMENDING the constitution which just put in place a bipartisan commission in the last 5 years to eliminate gerrymandering — which is what everyone used to support.

2. The VA constitution only requires majority votes to change, which is part of the problem. More typically states and Federal govt look to supermajorities.

3. To change the VA constitution, there are peculiar rules which require (a) a first majority vote by legislature, (b) an intervening election of state representatives so public “could” throw the bad guys out, (c) a second majority vote by legislature, (d) a public majority vote on a referendum for the change. The Democrats fudged two things: the first vote by legislature (a) came AFTER voting (b) on the intervening election had begun. This is what got it thrown out. The second fudge is the wording of referendum is ultra partisan and worded to make it look like voting FOR VA gerrymandering means you are for fair elections.

4. VA is a relatively evenly divided state, currently with 6D 5R. Trying to shift it to 10D 1R “temporarily” until the 2030 census shows no awareness of independent voters or the state as a whole.

And one more thing. The NO vote was winning until between 7 and 8 pm (closing time) two large mail in ballot dumps were made in Fairfax County. They did not even win in their redistricting attempt

re: "Trying to shift it to 10D 1R “temporarily” until the 2030 census shows no awareness of independent voters or the state as a whole."

Au contraire, I'd say they had total awareness and that is exactly why they were doing it, and just like in California it was a direct effort to eliminate Republican voices in the House. The "tell" in California was how they openly bragged about the redistricting being for the 2026 Midterms and 2028 Presidential election. They lied and said things would revert back to what they were before, but we all know that won't happen. In California our 12 Republicans against 40 Democrats was just too many Republicans. Soon our 12 will be 4 or 5. The Dems want it ALL and will stop at nothing to achieve it.

It's reasonable to assume the Marxists will respond to their humiliation with violence. Everything they've been doing to grab and not relinquish power has been immoral at best, and frequently illegal. Marxists are bad enough. Marxists bereft of hope are infinitely worse. Still, the tears have been yummy.

Well, I heard Al Sharpton say that the SCOTUS decision would be fought in the streets. You know, lots of mostly peaceful protesters.

Maybe they’ll get us a spell of martial law and President Trump can be King for awhile!

Mary Ann Caton's avatar

It would almost be a relief to have some martial law for a change. Dems only say they hate kings, but they love King Charles and whoever it is that runs Iran.

LOL

Al Sharpton needs to be audited by the IRS. Last I heard he owed over $4.5 million in back taxes! How long would you or I be allowed to coast like that?

But marxists WITH hope are worse: since their hope lies in the shed blood of others.

There are two opposing extremes at work in the modern era. Particularly in the U.S.

There is the far-leftwing WOKE-folk crowd. And there is the far-rightwing religious extremist crowd. Both are caused by the same type of extremist response. Neither is healthy. Both are reflecting a certain dysfunction in the human psyche. Where health is at the mid-point.

Several times here, I explained the technical causes of extremism, and why it is not a good thing. At either end. But no one was interested. Not even when I explained how COVID-mania took hold. Which is my original thesis.

So I don't think that most people are really here looking for the answers, but for chit-chat and a social venue. The rest? Whatever.....

John Galt?'s avatar

Are you implying that the writer and followers of this stack are the "far-rightwing extremist crowd"?

mspring's avatar

Let's see if i understand your premise of two opposing, equally bad groups: On one hand, the left, we plainly see attempts in government at all levels to remove laws, policies, etc that have been with us since our founding (or at least a century), they protest (mostly peaceful until they're not) loudly and frequently against norms and for things that traditionally have been abhorred. They cheat and defraud in elections, daily life. They create deranged acolytes who take violent actions burning, shooting, destroying property. They allow/promote open borders that have devastated both us and the illegals they allowed in. I could go on, but we see examples daily in both trad and new media. On the other hand the "religious right" we see...

I guess not the nothing i just implied, but at least, desire to keep historic norms in place, respect for families, worship of God as each sees fit, honesty in daily dealings, elections, our elected representatives, gun control, meaning one uses it to shoot game (in season) not other people. I could go on here too, but it is plainly obvious that actual experience is that one side is clearly destructive to society, while the other is at least benign, but in fact affirmative to a properly running society. If you are viewing us from outside, be sure you look at everything that's actually happening (or not) not just what media says.

If so, please provide the name of a politician with whom you are aligned

A.'s avatar

I am not even American, John. And you are on a fool's errand with that line.

John Galt?'s avatar

On the contrary. Regardless of your country of origin or residence, your presence here in this stack indicates you wish to join the fray. So, for clarity, would you kindly name a politician with whom you align, regardless of location?

A.'s avatar

John, who appointed you as God? You are simply another Substack commenter. As I am.

A.'s avatar

Heh, heh.....well, some of them certainly are.

Hegseth’s olive branch to discharged service members seems nice, but there’s a very ugly truth underlying it. Basically, that is that nothing has really changed. Yes, a different administration is in power and they may rearrange the office furniture. But it was true in the recent past, and could be true in the future, that service members will be subject to unproven and possibly dangerous jabs. In fact, such authority exists in US law, that active duty can be vaccinated with stuff that would be illegal to dispense to civilians. Covid was far from the first time the military were used as guinea pigs; see “Anthrax” and perhaps there are more. Having learnt their lessons the hard way, I suspect that very few ex-GIs will take up Sec. Hegseth on his generous offer. Once burned, twice shy.

Only about 150 service members have been reinstated. Over 8,000 were kicked out, some with less than honorable discharges that either affected or eliminated their VA benefits including education, healthcare, home loan, etc.

It is estimated that almost 95,000 left on their own, either resigning their commission, or choosing not to reenlist.

Many stories on X from former service members who are encountering huge obstacles to go back in.

The Pentagon has invaded countries in less time.

Hopefully their feedback will alert those in charge to fix it.

I puke when I see Tunnels to Towers grift on Fox when I see the Defence budget.

Thanks K.

D&R’s Gma's avatar

Which part will they refuse? Their back pay or the opportunity to clear their discharge records. And yes you are absolutely correct in the disgusting use of our service members being jabbed with darn near every experimental concoction. Isn’t that why secretary Hegseth is reversing that by doing away with things like experimental flu shots? I don’t see a downside to any of these service members seeking this restitution being offered???

Kelly's avatar

I think the point is: a new group takes over and reinstates any/all experimental jabs. Or they take BACK all the backpay that they get this time around. Just because we have Trump now doesnt mean that in 10 years (or sooner) that things will turn again.

D&R’s Gma's avatar

No the point is that “We” are the bigger group. “They” only have power if we give it to them. Stay United stand your ground. They can’t force compliance without capitulation.

Lori's avatar

The dems would have never made this offer so any positive for restoration is a sign of goodwill.

Jeffrey N. Gratton's avatar

SeeWell, Hegseth DID remove any and all 'flu' vaccines going forward.

Beyond that, what we need is perhaps a Constitutional Amendment that ALL medical interventions be voluntary and non-coercive

Thank you for your guinea pig service.
