Trump needs to keep his effing mouth shut about the vaxx!

He needs an advisor to talk to half his voters...so out of touch...almost makes me want to gag as much as listening to shit-stain in chief.

I mean does he think he'll gain one vote by claiming how great his non-vaxx vaxx was?!

In fact, it's just the opposite.

Follow the money. I think he was bought by Pfizer. He got a nice $1M donation to his inauguration, then appointed Pfizer lobbyists to head public health (look up Alex Azar if you really want to gag), he was personally invested $20-60M in Pfizer at that time, and then he awarded presidential commendations to Fauci, Birx and the rest of the criminal bureaucrats on his last day in office. When asked about that by Megyn Kelly last summer, he feigned amnesia. And lest we think this is an isolated incident, he received $500K from Monsanto and then cut regulations for GMO foods. Standard politician pay-for-play. He didn't drain the swamp because he's one of them. That should have been obvious as well, from his appointments of Bill Barr and the rest of the well known swamp creatures he put into positions of power.

There no good way out of this mess. Even the campaign now on-going 'to save America' is highly compromised, highly flawed. But it is as 'a plan' better than concentration camps, mass liquidations outright and total unbridled lawlessness.

Looking around, there is no plan anywhere to restore America to organic constitutions, to have a compliant constitutional law order/law codes. To just begin to bring such stuff up and as regards most people, they will look at such a one as if he just flew out of the cuckoo clock at the stroke of twelve.

Survivors of the Titanic, floating in the icy Atlantic, were focused on how do we survive this disaster. Not how do we reform the shipping industry.

We are survivors, clinging to life at this point. All that planning for reforms will have to wait until we have been made safe and sound.

We are in great and grave danger at this point in time. A fact lost on many.

Well stated. Not even people who 'know' stuff know how bad things truly are. Given this, I recently was gratified to hear Dr. David Martin to so forcibly hold forth and not only on the Covid Terrorism topic. Martin also recognizes that the present time a is threat existential across the spectrum of all human endeavor.

Is there anymore a 'safe and sound' place of reside given the technological threats hanging over us like a sword ready to descend and destroy at the flick of a kill switch?

That’s why we must humble ourselves and pray and repent of our sins; they are so many. We are freezing in the water with no help in sight (what a great analogy, btw. This is no time to be talking about hot to improve the ship’s design and construction! It’s a little late for that.) The only thing that will save us is an act of God. The only thing that will bring that about is true repentance. There will be consequences no matter which way we choose. But there would be hope.

I read American Thinker article and I think the main point is valid, but I think there are also many other motive and reasons, especially at the one percent and above level.

I also think the civil war going on in the United States. I think that we are also under attack from foreign powers, largely for reasons of the making by the corrupt ruler class. I also think that the White Hats are not genuinely white. And maybe more Grey Hats than White.

A buddy of mine has often commented that men like Gates, Soros and Schwab are just bitter old men who want to kill as many people as they can because they know that they are soon going to die. They just want to take as many as they can with them. Of course, these are not the 1%.

daverkb's avatar

This particular rational strikes me as being somewhat shallow ... and possibly a grasping at straws in trying to make sense out of that which cannot be rendered sensible to understanding by all normal mental inclination.

People like Gates, Soros, Schwab actually believe in their agendas (depopulation, transhumanism, eugenics and so only). To them is a religion to achieve some good. And the 'good' to be obtained justifies the idea of the end justifying the means. These people, for whatever justification, believe that 'they' occupy the high ground ... and their material wealth and power seconds the motion.

Then there are the Useful Idiots. These poor people actually believe that they too occupy the high ground because someone told them so, sold them a seemingly believable bill of goods. The Useful idiots are controllable enablers for the elites due to deficits in their education and/or access to real facts.

The above can be even smart people in many ways, excepting that they are very flawed.

Gates, Soros, Schwab and people like them usually become bitter only once they hit a speed bump and are made impoverished and/or imprisoned for their criminal actions.

The difference between Good and Evil is the difference between Truth and Lies, between Law and Lawlessness.

If terrifying, one cannot say the human sphere is these days boring.

And as to good, who are the people we remember the most? In our personal lives? They invariably are people who have the done us a good deed when we were drowning with every expectation of 'going under'.

As to the bad, the evil ... I don't see how they derived any real pleasure out of life excepting that they serve a higher power (Lucifer) and/or a 'greater good' like depopulation. And do so with glee and satisfaction. And I suppose Great Evil thinks itself smarter than mere mortals, useless eaters and the wildly dissipated in astonishing entertainments.

I would if I could blot out the sun with my and eclipse from consciousness the dark days yet to come. And yet, it is much better to live in the light. It is better not trying to fool oneself and deal with things as they are.

I used to read Richard Russell and Bill Bonner regularly some many years ago. Russell is long gone and would not recognize 'the place' today which was once America. Bonner is my age of 75, although he was born one year earlier in 1948. Bonner has a net worth close to one billion. My net worth is a couple of imaginary skate boards, a few pencil erasers and some empty milk cartons. My only claim to fame is that I never had a car payment or house payment in my life and yet I have managed to live in a house. Nobody knows how I did this. And I haven't paid rent since I moved out of New York City in 1979 which was one of my most brilliant moves in life, a non-thinking stroke of amazing non-perspicuousness non-heard and non-spoken which occured on a whim, a taken fancy on one particular blue day. And proof that God looks after fools ... sometimes and sometimes amazingly well. Sadly, I don't have a ranch in the remote recesses of the Argentinian Andes. The good news is that I don't want one. Instead, I'd settle for a nice flat on Nevsky Prospect! That also won't happen because my entire wealth is invested in imaginary skate boards, a few pencil erasers I use to eradicate any mistakes I make in life, and lots and lots of empty milk cartons. The market in Saint Petersburg is current down on these items. Shucks!

Thanks for the prize link of the week, that of the lockdown dairies. And I downloaded the PDF which is sure to be Bill Bonner interesting.

I agree with Bonner on the prospects for the US. As a matter of fact, and speaking of Argentina, I totally believe that the Americans have out done the Perons in the classical economics of country wrecking. And I think the Americans must have been shooting for some kind of special economics award. Maybe sandpaper toilet? Like the Soviets had! You know! Something to brag about to the rest of the world.

It is always nice to hear from a sane person! Especially these days! And may God preserve!

I do not really blame Trump for OWS. Many other good people--including good scientists, such as the Great Barrington Declaration authors--were in favor of it. In fact, I heard Jay Bhattacharya make the ridiculous statement that he got COVID but it was a mild case because of the shot. I get very upset with Trump when he still touts the shot, but I don't believe he would ever have mandated it. And that's the most important thing in my mind. If everyone had been free to make the choice of getting vaxxed or not, many people would have chosen not to get it. So Trump was in favor of freedom of choice, and that's more important to me than having been in favor of the shot in the first place.

I follow Trump closely. The only jab comment I know anything about is when he reacted to what Biden said in the SOTU speech. He was calling Biden out for lying, not pushing the vaccine. Open minded people can see that clearly.

TB's avatar

I do get the impression that Trump has a very hard time acknowledging mistakes, and he may still be partially blind to just how bad the jab actually is, because to admit it was bad would make OWS bad, and he's publicly bragged about how good it was and taken the credit for it. People are complicated, and all of us have flaws and errors of some kind. I just pray that he can be humble enough to admit his mistakes, even if only privately.

Well, not sure if you meant it that way, but I don't care about a personal apology to me or anyone else (I share the attitude some others posted, of just because he encouraged it is not the same thing as forcing people to take it).

You’re wrong when you don’t think people aren’t oblivious to his faults. Why do you think DeSantis had to drop out? Desantis was not only the better candidate, he is a better man.

Sunnydaze's avatar

Operation warp speed. Fast tracked vaxxes.

I live in Florida. DeSantis is a great governor but lots of reasons why he dropped out. He is owned by rinos on the national stage as proven by his statements and backtracking the next day (s). He looked visibly uncomfortable the whole time. Look up his donors. Plus there’s a bunch of issues in Florida he is either ignoring or purposely not dealing with. Statewide major insurance issues, the disabled community that doesn’t get state services and has a 25,000 person waitlist to even get any help just to name a couple. But he has a great track record with so many other issues too…as governor. He should’ve waited until after Trump to move in for the kill. It’s too bad he jumped the gun.

Doesn’t matter really at this point. You can have your “favorite” just as much as the next person. No candidate is without flaws or blind sides. It’s ok to hold your nose and vote for Trump. The vaxx issue is the monkey on his back that hopefully someday he will have to answer for.

As much as you think supporters are blind to his faults - the same could be said to those who took the vax just because he said to. Shame on anyone who makes a decision just because Trump or another politician or celebrity or athlete says to. Poor decision makers if that’s what sways a person to inject something into their body, really.

If anyone is owned by rinos it’s Trump. Trump started the transgender taking over women’s competitions years ago. Trump appointees are swamp creatures or rinos. Yes, Trump did some good things, but he’s a shallow person that’s great at manipulating others by talking himself up.

Desantis probably saw Trump for what he is -a democrat and not so great guy.

I get a kick out of folks who think DeSantis is a puppet for the establishment or a bitch-boy for Trump.

He was a lowly congressman, who was governor for only one year before he stood up against POTUS, the media, a terrified/cowardly public and the establishment on Covid. Pressure breaks pipes. He didn't crack...Trump did.

People blather on and on about what various people "really are". I keep watching DeSantis' actions and comparing what he says he believes to what he does as Governor.

Actions always speak louder than words, and DS's words match his actions better than any politician I know of. I sure wish he were the Governor of Commiefornia where I live!

I saw an absolutely square cloud yesterday evening here in Idaho. We are in a war of good vs. evil. Period. God used such flawed humans as his messengers and prophets. Even in his own lineage was David, and we all know what he did. So, we cannot pin our hopes on one man, only God. And who He uses to fulfill His purpose is yet to be seen. All I know is this nation was much better off under Trump than Biden. But the barn door is open and the illegals are streaming in. Biden/Satan has been on a mission to gut this nation of God and have done a bang up job. That is what all these horrible political/executive mandates and decisions are. Has there been even ONE for the good of the citizens of this nation? I would have to say that is a hard no. From the closing of the Keystone pipeline to the jab mandates, Jan 6th, Ukraine and the border and on and on and on goes the list since this shadow government was inaugurated.

Right. We are in a precarious stage right now; indifference.

First indifference. Then apathy.

Then manacles

"The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage"

Tytler cycle.

Related? A little out there, but hey, we're residents of the cosmos. No getting away from it.

The star Betelgeuse, part of the constellation Orion, apparently exploded some 600-ish years ago. Webb telescope only detected a change several years ago. The rest is math I guess. Above my pay grade. Anyway, the star is so far away, some 500+ light years, that the full brunt of "shock" wave of energy released hasn't reached us yet. How much energy? I can't say. The star is/was nearly 900x the size of our sun. Big one. The somewhat-dissipated-due-to-distance "shock" wave of energy is due to arrive here shortly. What kind of energy? I can't say. But surely said wave will shift something on our planet. What? I can't say. But if you've ever felt the energy of a conversation shift, or felt the energy of a room when you walk into it, them's small energies. I 'spect this'll be a wee bit diffrnt.

Is everything in Divine order? Of course! What that is, yet again I am sadly not informed enough to say. But could this cosmic event be tied to this iteration of a Tytler cycle? Just asking the question. I suspect none but God has full information to answer. Plus I am unaware if Mr. Tytler, keen observer earthling, ever factored in our cosmic residency as some type of influence in his cyclical collapses. Food for thought - and all kinds o' speculation. Sure is an interestin' time to be alive on planet earth. 🤔

These were unforced errors. I don't know anyone for whom a history of making terrible choices is a plus on a resume for leadership. He made these choices right from the start, after receiving $$$$ for his inauguration, he continued to reward these abominable people, and he's very recently doubled down on his support for them. No one made him do that. He could have remained quiet on the mass poisoning of billions of people, but instead, he's kept throwing his support behind the worst crimes against humanity in world history, with more far reaching consequences than the Holocaust. No matter what is "thrown at you", if you support evil, then you are not fit for leadership. Period. No more excuses.

I think the deep state played him like a fiddle with their "final solution," I mean "safe and effective" solution. They appealed to his ego and he ate it up.

He has clearly dialed back a lot of his brashness, and that's a good thing for electioneering. When he gets back in the Oval Office, he can then let loose on it all.

I always remember that while Trump had long been a NY society gadfly and welcome in Democrat power circles, he did see the light and wanted to "drain the swamp". He was a newcomer to the dirty political inner workings of the power elite, despite having been among them socially. He went into office not knowing fully who all the bad players were. Fauci, for example. He had been in his position for decades, and in the beginning Trump had no reason to fire him immediately. He just didn't know who he could trust and who he couldn't trust. I read Scott Atlas' book and while Trump listened to this one man, he had a lot of others in supposedly reliable positions of scientific power that he wasn't in a position to immediately dismiss. I don't think any of us would take the word of ONE person against multitudes of others at the beginning of something like covid. None of us started researching covid knowing the extent of it. How could we? And how could Trump? What is now clear is that they lied to him and deceived him and hid things from him even though as President he should have been privy to all information. But he knows NOW. That's the important thing.

Yes CMCM, I pretty much said the same thing here yesterday about being strategic. I sure hope we're right about that. I've never been enthusiastic about any candidate ( always the least crappy one) but here we are again. And I truly think he loves this country and wants to help unlike the commie dems!

I heard Trump is pedaling Bibles now and he’s telling everyone it’s his favorite book - he reads it “ALL the time”. Apparently Trump’s Bible costs $59.99. Now admittedly, I heard this on a Canadian main stream media news radio station, so I recite this with a healthy dose of skepticism as to its veracity. I keep thinking about the Handmaid’s Tale and wondering if Margaret Lawrence was warning us (or telling us- she seems to be pretty cozy with WEF ideology these days) about what is in store for us. I look around and imagine who is going to be in each part- I think it’s safe to say that due to my age and my vocal disagreement with current politicians and health strategies - I will be one of the old ladies shoveling radioactive waste around!

Trump is only promoting it, along with a lot of other people. This particular Bible is Lee Greenwood's doing. The corporate media is bending over backwards trying to tie it to Trump.

Ah, that sounds just like what the media would do. Though I'm still curious of the details.... searching up the stories and the actual site, it's apparently a fancy bible containing: The Bible, plus "Handwritten chorus to “God Bless The USA” by Lee Greenwood, United States Constitution, Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights, and The Pledge of Allegiance". Possibly a bit sacrilegious to some... but also very traditionally conservative American.

Though I can't help laughing at the claims of "King James translation" combined with "easy to read"... bit of an oxymoron there! (But, once again, VERY "traditional conservative".)

I purchased the said Bible for my kids as a family Bible a couple years ago. Lee Greenwood had a devil of a time (sorry, couldn't help myself) getting the book printed. So long were the delays that they offered refunds if people were tired of waiting.

Like you, I'm not a King James guy, NKJ is fine though.

He is risen indeed!

I mean, what kind of binding and printing are those Bibles he's selling? A good leatherbound bible could easily go for $100, but if it's a cheap softcover one then it's a rip off... it's all in the details. (At I guess, I would have thought Trump would be at the 'luxury' end of the spectrum, but who knows.)

(Edit: I'm also curious what translation he's selling. A source with details would be nice.)

It's not Trump's Bible; it's Lee Greenwood's Bible. Trump is only promoting it.

Check out Scott Altas MD. (neither party affiliated). Atlas was selected by President Donald Trump in August 2020 to serve as an advisor on the White House Coronavirus Task Force. He gave Trump all the info he needed to NOT mandate masks or shut the country down. But Trump bent the knee to the Fauci agenda.

His book:

A Plague Upon Our House: My Fight at the Trump White House to Stop COVID from Destroying America – December 7, 2021

He's done some great interviews too.

Candace Owens asked trump point blank about the vax carnage shown in VAERS. He denied it and repeated his "beautiful vaccine has saved millions of lives".

Trump would be wise to pretend along with the DeepStaters and their media that mRNA is better than sliced bread and safer than a tic tac while destroying it all from behind the scenes; if he goes openly anti-VAXX it only makes the job harder, targets himself, and lets our enemies meet him on the field of battle--better to run cover and destroy both Pharma and Security-Spy-State by attacking their infrastructure less boldly.

That’s the beauty of DJT. He doesn’t announce his plans and tactics to the enemy.

Yes. Because when Trump said it was good, the RATS were NEVER going to use it. As soon as Biden took office, it was wonderful. Pick you battles wisely. (I can’t believe you and I are in agreement)

To YOUR astute point, Trump being anti-Vaxx in 2020 would have destroyed him, the Commies can change on a dime (ours, NOT their own) and Menshevik-media covers for them and it's as if they Always had that same position...Pharma-Military immediately set Biden-Harris on course had they even not been? Likely their defiance of taking a Trump Vaxx was faked as they knew the game plan and were excited at all the Authoritarian Opportunities it would offer and the $$$ involved for their donors and supporters as well as the culling qualities. Had they NOT stolen the election, they'd have had to become anti-vaxxxers OR given Trump and Warpy speed credit--both terrible options to Leftist Frauds.

High-five! welcome to finally being right! feels extraordinary, no?

Certainly we're not at odds much are we? even so, sit down 3 Christian Conservatives and you'd have 3 instant at-odds denominations after 20 minutes. Not sure how the Commie-Prog-Libs keep their coalition so very uniform...til the Jews and Harmus attackers got it stirred up anyway.

Don’t miss this from Bongino. It’s what keeps me up. We have to deliver Trump the electoral vote# needed to win. Giving the House Speakership to Hakeem J. would be devastating.

It could happen due to House Republicans' decisions to retire before the election. If their seats go unfilled, the Dems get to pick the speaker since they'd have the majority. This, according to Roger Stone who wrote about it in his Substack twice this week.

Pretty sure that is going to happen. Then the economy tanks, under Dem control. We need a complete rebound and that just may be what does it. The final mail in there coffin, I hope.
