I had been seriously considering RFK Jr, until he chose his running mate. It made me scratch my head because it was a choice that was nearly the opposite of how he seemed to be positioning himself.

The only way I can make sense of this is that he knew he would not be elected and decided to make sure Biden could not be re-elected. In the same way that never-Trumpers try to take down DJT, he is doing what he can to take the Biden admin down.

So what does he get out of this? I think it is Sec'y HHS in a Trump admin. Then he will be able to focus on his top priority, and has been for a long time: taking down big pharma.

I am a paid subscriber for over two years and never commented until today. I must say that your first paragraphs about Christs work and the last sentence about witnessing gives me such a renewed hope that His fingerprints are surfacing. I am reminded of His unexplainable miraculous and mysterious ways. Thank you Jeff for shining His light!

ā€He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.ā€œ

Thank you, Jeff, for your wonderful write up on Good Friday.

Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday are the most somber days of the year. When all hope seemed lost, hope came. When all our hope seems lost these days, God is still with us and we still have the hope. May God bless you all this Triduum. āœļø

ā€œmade a number of small mistakes and a number of larger mistakes.ā€

Mistakes Were NOT Made ;-)

Of course, the ā€œmistakeā€ he really means is getting caught.

ā€œthe new regulatory platformā€

I have a new (re)framing idea: Letā€™s work on replacing ā€œsystemic racismā€ with ā€œsystemic corruption.ā€ Every time someone hears ā€œsystemic,ā€ we want them to think ā€œcorruption,ā€ not ā€œracism.ā€ The more we repeat the term ā€œsystemic corruption,ā€ the more people will become aware that the corruption is baked into the system.

P.S. SBF will didnā€™t kill himself.

I've admired RFK's anti-jab stance, but the rest of his policies have me as a hard "no". The VP pick pretty much secures that. I'm not really a fan of Trump's constant "the shots are YUGE!!!!" rhetoric as it shows a complete lack of understanding of his base, but the majority of his platform and past performance have me leaning that way.

I saw the blurbs about the Moderna combo shots on Twitter yesterday and ... hard pass. I'm pretty much out of the "get any shots" game unless there's some hard evidence that they're worthwhile. That may mean no missions work outside of the country, but I just can't trust the drug companies at this point. :(

But Jesus was saying, ā€œFather, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.ā€ And they cast lots, dividing up His garments among themselves.

Gotta love it... how often Jeff says, "Iā€™m only a lawyer" ... in the midst of deciphering (and sometimes demolishing) some of the craziest 'scientific' and 'political' claims... šŸ˜‚

On another note: Let's dig a bit into the CDC 'bio-hazard' containers on that ship. What in the world would the CDC be trying to accomplish by shipping biohazards anywhere? And where were they destined anyway?? I know, I know... the possibilities!

Jeff - That was on of the most concise and beautiful descriptions of the Passion and Resurrection I have read.

Keep hope alive. We know what changed them and it is the same today as it was two thousand years ago.

The MSM about this time of year has stories about ā€œEaster-worshippers.ā€ Who are these people who purportedly worship the day of Easter? Or are the MSM just allergic to the name ā€œChristianā€ the way vampires hate garlic?

Thank you Jeff, and a blessed Easter to you and your family.

Remember the Disney stuff happened before all the Trump-DeSantis drama and there were quite a few on our side who ripped DeSantis for it. They were far madder at him than Disney. And I don't mean Trump supporters but people who eventually became Never Trumpers. Two that I clearly remember were Jenna Ellis and Nikki Haley, but there were many more.

When are we going to admit these people are acting in bad faith? They are either saboteurs, or so emotionally unstable that they cannot help attacking their "friends" while ignoring our common enemies. John McCain and Mitt Romney types fill the party unfortunately.

serves the demoncrats right: they banned RFKjr from their primaries. How will they ban him from the general election now that he has alienated any possible Republican voter?

About that new platform. How many remember this CNN piece from October, 2019 - just months before we heard about a nasty flu in Wuhan:

https://edition.cnn.com/2019/11/29/health/universal-flu-vaccine/index.html

"But a universal flu shot would theoretically cover every strain of the flu using whatā€™s known as an ice cream cone approach."

"Last spring, doctors at the NIH started testing universal flu shots on Sonn and other study participants to see how their bodies respond.

The research got an extra push in September when President Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at developing a better flu vaccine.

Fauci said it could take less time ā€“ but still many years ā€“ to develop a semi-universal flu shot, which would protect against not all flu viruses, but rather a group of flu viruses."

"The faster and more precise method is not to grow the virus at all and instead just create the virusā€™ protein, he said.

ā€œWe clone the gene that codes for the specific protein we want,ā€ Fauci said. ā€œI donā€™t even want to see the virus. I just need the sequence of that virus, the genetic map of that virus. And you could send that to me by email.ā€

Thatā€™s the technology thatā€™s being used to create the vaccines being trialed on participants like Sonn right now.

ā€œWe feel like weā€™re pioneers, and our volunteers are pioneers,ā€ Ledgerwood said."

A new platform. Email-able. New technology. Like mRNA. Using proteins. Like spike proteins. On the Eve (literally! - just two calendar days before the "first confirmed patient," which accounting for time zones was only one day before) of a global pandemic. That was managed to ensure the world's population was conscripted to become, "pioneers." Things that make you go, Hmmm?
