Narrative shifting shows emerging Fani defense; CDC triggers covidians; fake news primer; Mayorkas impeached; now CBS sheds reporters; house squatting epidemic; Fla. cracks down on thieves; more.
This has gone from bad to worse. Now to avoid Covid I have to walk around in a mask, a helmet and a condom? Gonna take me a few more minutes to get dressed.
It may comfort you to know that the likelihood of being able to get pregnant OR to carry your baby to term should you actually become pregnant is greatly diminished if you’ve had any covid jabs. 😜
because the place got overrun by three-legged rabbits who were mad as hell someone stole their left hind foot. It got really bad when they began to work together. Then nine rabbit legs would bring the devastation of twelve rabbits. Talk about force multiplification....
Hmmm.. that cup of Yrgacheffe must be really powerful this morning.
Protect Grandma from you falling and causing her to fall. She’s already ensconced in bubble wrap but her bubble wrap won’t work if you don’t have some,
Why wouldn't it be? That's even under normal circumstances. Welcome to the real world. I know we suffer under the delusion that safety is the norm, but that's always been thanks to some of our neighbors being armed. Criminals hate that. Makes for a more dangerous work environment. And now that we have a couple of million strangers crossing the border every year, it's just getting more obvious that we should always be ready to defend ourselves and our loved ones.
Just saw a postcard from our state representative and he's conducting a "Concealed Carry" seminar for his constituents - I'm thinking I should check that out!
I'm in AZ, which has been the #1 state for gun owners for a long time - but we have Democrat Senators and a (fraudulent) Democrat Governor, so I hope we can maintain our status. Too many CA refugees are coming here and making the same mistakes they made in CA.
I bet some enterprising individual could make a lot of money developing a disposable full-body covid condom and selling it to the branch covidian crowd.
Matt Taibbi has collaborated on a piece for Public:
Now, multiple credible sources tell Public and Racket that the United States Intelligence Community (IC), including the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), illegally mobilized foreign intelligence agencies to target Trump advisors long before the summer of 2016.
The new information fills many gaps in our understanding of the Russia collusion hoax and is supported by testimony already in the public record.
This is the REAL reason they wanted trumps “top secret” boxes they are looking for his declassified unredacted binder with all that info in it. And they know if he wins it’s gonna be hell to pay if he gets a halfway intelligent attorney general
Sadly, I'm sure they further refined their efforts for 2020. And people still want to say the 2020 election wasn't stolen! Think about the lengths they have been going to to try to keep Trump from being elected. Apparently, the lengths they have to go to. Even with international spy agencies working against him, the Russia hoax, the 24/7 storm of media hate coverage, lying about almost every position he holds, mass mail-in ballots, 3am ballot dumps in swing states, ballot harvesting, search engine manipulation, Facebook buying D votes....I'm sure I missed some...they still barely "won." How big is Trump's actual lead? It must be a 20-30 pt lead to be able to absorb all that cheating against him and still almost win.
CIA needs to be broken up. But also, I don't see much hope until the American Empire is dismantled and the 'money' printing machine is smashed. Evil gets funded by unlimited quantities of Fantasy Money ... and the public gets continuously skinned.
The price to be paid for all of this perpetrated evil is going to be horrific. I fear that it could make the Great Depression look like a picnic.
I think She Thinks is pretty smart. And wishing you a very happy Valentine's Day. (And doesn't Valentine's Day remind one of the things which really count? Like home and hearth, fidelity, honesty ... and shunning the pollution of worldliness.)
I already feel like an island. A tiny one in a sea of madness. (Well, at least I have some nice fried oysters today to forward with eats out on Valentine's Day with De Wife!)
Eat fish, live longer. Eat oysters, love longer. Now, go get'ter KB.... You need some Daddy Time, Son!
Anyway, if we closed the gates, expelled and refocused after the hangings, we could right the ship in about 10 years. I'm on board. You know, become the leaders again. No foreign wars, kick the daylights outta anyone that messes with us, end the FED, put everyone back to work and no favoritism just everyone in their place doing their best. Sounds like a plan to me.
Anyone think that Durham couldn’t have found this out during his bogus investigation? Both he and Mueller squandered lots of millions pretending to look for evidence.
Yes, and it appears that this may be a part of all the highly sensitive documents in Trump’s possession... of which he is now being prosecuted for! Imagine that!!!!!
I found out what's in that column from a group of independent, mostly anonymous, open-source intelligence investigators on Twitter, almost in real time back in the day. Jeff Carlson, who posted as TheMarketsWork back then, was one of them, but not even a main one; same for Hans Mahncke (sp). Hopefully the calm tone and evidentiary documentation used by Public will help persuade some who formerly only listened to the MSM.
Yup! The only thing new to me from yesterday's release was the 26 targeted individuals. Like you, I followed a fairly wide-ranging ecosystem of citizen investigators, independent journalists, and other sorts probably starting in 2017-2018. Pieces were put together in articles published and posted on Twitter (in those days); long-form podcasts; documentary (The Plot Against the President); court document analysis; etc.
In December, Sundance at The Consrvtve Treehse published about that binder...and long before that he published about the likely real reasons for the raid on MAL. I developed an ecosystem of truth-tellers and investigators to follow from my days on Twittr, and when I shut down my account after seeing what was happening in the days before and following the inauguration (installation) of the current WH occupant, I made sure to find them all so I could keep track. Too many to keep up with, so I really appreciate the round-ups available here at C&C!
It is well known in Oregon that being a landlord SUCKS. You have no rights. Tenants and squatters have all the rights. What they did to landlords during the plandemic was egregious. Guess who got to skip rental payments but who didn’t get to skip mortgage payments?
We know people with rentals in Oregon and they are thanking God for having moral and ethical renters who still paid rent when the govt said they didn’t have to. Their advice to any property owners in Oregon: SELL. Do not be a landlord or you will get screwed. Watch the video. Says it all.
Good job Florida and red states that pass protection from squatters. They deserve ZERO rights and should be thrown in jail. Isn’t that what trespassing is for? 🙄
It happens in just regular residential property, it doesn't need to be a rental. Houses for sale or vacant due to vacationing or deployed owners have to deal with this too. Horrible.
I'll say this. If I were going to move to another state, I'd darn sure investigate what the laws are regarding tenants and squatters. While I'm sure there are unscrupulous rental/property owners, as there is in any group, there has to be a sensible balance of fairness. Having to pay someone illegally occupying your property to get them off of it is anything but fair. Squatters are thieves, and should receive the penalties thievery deserves. Tbh, you couldn't pay me to live or be a property owner in a blue state.
Today its an especially common problem with any land in the Philippines - usually they have to be paid off to leave and go to another property...
Years ago, my relatives thought about buying property in Yugoslavia to have a place to stay there on visits. Of course, my relatives were mostly born in the USA and accustomed to modern plumbing etc. - meaning it could not be a simple farm house etc that locals typically lived in under Tito and post Tito....
Then someone checked on the squatter laws there.... Let's just say it was not called the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia for nothing and they decided not to buy given the risks... Funny how we now have to worry about that in the USA...
Communism means limited or no property rights so that makes sense. It would be interesting to see what it’s like now in the various countries that used to make up Yugoslavia.
Let's say property values have gone up and don't even ask how much property along the Adriatic where Germans etc vacation goes for... Slovenia and Croatia are EU and both now on the Euro (the latter recently switched to it)...
A relative inherited a farm + some forest land rights in Slovenia - I think it was sold for a few hundred thousand Euro maybe a decade+ ago... The house was a shell b/c during the 1990s breakup, it was rented it to a Bosnian refugee who left in the middle of the night with all the copper wiring and fixtures...
Only small areas of CA. CA is a beautiful state run by an illegitimate government. THAT is the problem. If a legitimate election was given today, CA would be red, not blue.
I am a native, born and raised. I will not go back. Even the smallish city, Chico is a mess, even Yuba City. Maybe I could live in Hopville. It is beautiful and I miss it.
Likewise Washington. At first I thought that Microsoft money would be good for East of the Mountains, but looks like more harm than good. I moved from "the coast" to CA decades ago, never even fathomed how awful it would get in either state.
It's very difficult to leave for those of us with limited means. To change domicile, CA requires meeting at least 13 different conditions (I checked in 2013). Our little rural enclave is perfect for weathering the coming political and economic hurricanes, and that makes it even more difficult to leave. (It appears that changing domicile in most states is difficult, but CA tax authorities are aggressive, and likely to become more aggressive with so many taxpayers leaving the state.)
COVID has greatly shifted the Overton window towards government seizing control over property. I worry this will get continue to get worse as we go from one emergency declaration to another with the overall aim of installing a powerful centralized global government. I think most underestimate just how much has been taken from ordinary people. The wealth stolen is astronomical.
I heard a story about a Florida woman who had a squatter that she could not get out after she decided to overstay her VRBO vacation. The owner was from from New York. She went in and took the doors off the house, and eventually the squatter left. 😂 gotta get creative if the laws won’t protect us!
Yep I saw the writing on the wall and sold my rental when the law changed to favor tenants. When the law was coming down, even the prominent Democrat who owned a lot of rentals couldn’t get his buds to see the light.
John 16:31-33 (NKJV) Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe? Indeed the hour is coming, yes, has now come, that you will be scattered, each to his own, and will leave Me alone. And yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me. These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
I knew it was a matter of time that they pulled the black card with the corrupt Fani Willis. They opened the can of worms so as a woman I’ll throw in my two cents!! Notice lately that all the black women being propped up in the media are liberal, law breaking BLACK women!!! The only people putting them in a bad light is THEM!!!! Please aren’t there any moral, righteous and law abiding BLACK women in positions of power!!! Think the Harvard witch, Fani Willis who stole from taxpayers and is a shill for the Trump Derangement Syndrome, just to start! Anyone else would have been fired, arrested, the case against Trump dismissed, but oh no, she’s BLACK and can do anything unlawful she wants!!!
wThe VA LT Govs job is too lead. She was a marine, so she leads from the front. She does not need to speak on behalf of someone she does not respect. Her opposition party fills slots with those who were chosen to not only muddy the water, but to anger you by having their inadequacies covered by the unseen hand. There are plenty of people of every tone that could do a better job than Fani, Biden and Fetterman, they are agents of chaos.
Until they all start speaking out it will continue. I don’t think Candice is all that since she married a white man and then went on Tucker and said she was only hiring black people as she wanted to help the black community. It’s still a racist hiring practice.
Just went to the Small Business Alliance monthly meeting this morning . It is focused on Frederick County ( we don't live there) , but addresses other issues . The Lt Governor is scheduled to speak in one of the upcoming meetings. We heard the Attorney General speak at this meeting a couple of months ago. This morning it was former state senator Jill Holtzman Vogle. Incredibly, she, her replacement (she retired,) and the House district representative all went to the same HS in a town of 4000 15 minutes from me. The House rep is also the now Minority Speaker.
Not much, but she has a pulpit and she could be pushing for it (in this case, school choice, for which she was strongly advocating when she was running). But the Virginia state house today is thoroughly woke and blue so probably wouldn’t make much of a difference. 😡
Many white people are too desperate to love blacks. Maybe Winsome has done some good things, I don’t know. I’m only hearing praise that she likes guns -which is sorta typical in any hood.
I need to get in on this black woman thing. It can excuse all sorts of inexcusable behavior apparently. If only I had the urge to live as total scum like all of our "leaders". Sadly, those compulsions elude me.
Ha! Ha! My dad was born in Cape Town, South Africa in 1920. That technically makes me African American and so I could get on the black woman thing. I would need to do is transition.
(Shush! Don't even dare to mention to De Wife that I even said this. She would be very, very mad with me!)
She was once head of the NAACP (what is a "colored" person, please?) chapter in Spokane, WA. Where apparently the demographic is so white, even their black people were white! (well, only the imposters)
Let’s not forget Mayor Tiffany Henyard of Dolton Illinois burning through tax payer cash for trips and armed security in a poor 95% BLACK small town playing the black woman card. She just might be the WORST of all
Althea Bernstein in Madison claiming four white frat boys threw lighter fluid on her when she was in her car stopped at a light at night. She is very light-skinned so in those few seconds how could they tell?? Long story short thousands spent investigating and of course was all made up. She faced zero consequences either criminally or financially. Yet the media was able to scream racism for a few weeks. Though they mysteriously left out the retractions.
For the life of me, I cannot understand why black people accept this garbage from their “leaders”. Of all people, they should be the MOST outraged by the familiar pattern of stealing tax money to fund lavish lifestyles, then hiding behind their “black” or “black woman” identities! But they are NOT outraged! Instead, they circle the wagons! It’s like they are hypnotized 😵💫!!
How can they not realize that these scoundrels are stealing from THEM?!?!? 🤷🏻♀️
That “church” justifies a lot of things that aren’t biblical. Not much of a church, but more of a race-based political power center hiding behind a thin veneer of religiosity.
I agree with you 100%. But white people actually tolerate this to an even higher degree. Think about how many white politicians are complete imbeciles, break the law, and ignore their constituents? I’m definitely not defending how the media circles the wagons of black people. But we seriously have the same problem. I would love it if voters would stop this insanity.
But I don’t think white people support crooked white politicians because they are white in the same way blacks support black politicians simply because they are black. For whites I think it’s more of a party allegiance if they support a corrupt white politician. It’s not a race thing. IMO
White politicians don’t get away with as much as black politicians. Remember Maxine Waters telling people to harass people at dinner? She was promoting violence. She should have been censored. A white politician would have been held accountable.
I recall the racism angle being floated when then Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick's reign came to an end. The problem in Kwame's case was that he was too corrupt and criminal for the racism argument to take root. I see hints of Kwame in Fani Willis.
Christine Beatty Mayor K’s text messaging gal pal didn’t fare as well as today’s black female “leaders”. After filing bankruptcy and disappearing to Atlanta the black Mecca she’s now back in Motown running the THAW program. What’s that you ask? A giveaway for people who don’t pay they lite and gas bill.
I remember attorney Norman Yatooma's wrongful death lawsuit against Kwame arising out of the death of Tamara 'Strawberry' Greene. You may recall that Strawberry allegedly 'danced' (among other things) at a party hosted by Kwame at the Manoogian Mansion and she was later killed in a drive-by shooting. They never caught the killer but it was suspected that Kwame ordered the 'hit'.
The lawsuit ultimately was dismissed for lack of evidence and died on appeal but Kwame's dirty laundry was hung out for all to see. Kwame and everyone associated with him was dirty. I don't see much difference between current Atlanta politics and Detroit's during Kwame's time.
Yeah that was so predictable and so lame 🙄 They’ve really got nothing else, except maybe the Clintonesque argument of “private life” a few people have attempted to make. I guess Fani is just helping herself to her own “reparations” from the taxpayers 🙄
You have to wonder why she hasn't commented after all this time!!!! I've been amazed watching this whole thing unravel that so few have said one word! So its like an understanding that all these corrupt and mentally deranged black women doing despicable, corrupt actions, get a pass from so many!!!! It has been so obvious from the beginning.
Give her some time. One thing about Candice, she's known to sit back and watch for a while before commenting. She's big about knowing as many facts as possible before saying anything.
She did a series on BLM that was quite eye opening. She also exposed a black woman running for office (Boston I think). Lizzo is another one she's taken on (the
fat-is-beautiful singer).
Another thing, she tends to stick to cultural issues, not so much political issues.
Yes! Watched one yesterday and she gave an awesome Russian history lesson. The number of slaughtered Christians is just jaw dropping and no one was ever held accountable for that.
The only silver lining I see in this stuff is that the more the 'establishment perps' run with this stuff in the news cycle, the more this stuff becomes transparently threadbare.
Regarding all of this, two things sting. First, the whole politic of division is devoid of all moral content, and as we all know by now, civilizations stand and prosper only on a moral ordering. Once the moral order is abolished, then all devolves into chaos, destruction, stealing and murder.
Second is that the rest of the intelligent world sees through the Collective West and what they see is a cesspool of corruption with clown-like emperor rulers running the corruption. It's Fanni Willis, Trump derangement, Babbling Bidden and much more. To the rest of the world, the West is a house of cards ready for the wind to come along and finish things off.
Then there’s Kamala, although a lot of people don’t consider her experience to be black American. She slept her way up the ladder (San Francisco mayor Willie Brown while he was married.) They only seem to care if the person is anything other than liberal.
There are lots and lots of conservative blacks who are Trump supporters. The whole black - white things is a divide-and-conquer strategy. Don't fall for it.
Oh yes, I am very aware of that. I am not the least bit prejudice, but I am sick of this crap that they pull with all these corrupt black people. Obama started this when he was elected. I was waiting for it as I watched them drag this out. Most other people would have already been yanked out of their position and arrested for stealing taxpayer money for her adulterer boyfriend. Talk about bold!!!! She really didn't think she would get caught. Apparently anyone who will manufacturer false charges against President Trump are excused of behaving lawfully these days!!!! It's pretty obvious.
I'm sure there are quite a few - but they are NOT politicians - think about all of the reprobate MALE, WHITE politicians in our country's history - indeed the world history!!
Oh I know that, but they are all corrupt and making any authentic, talented black women with morals look bad! When all this “black” crap started, forget hiring people for their qualifications, we had to fill that black quota. I ran a very busy tax department and we were always short-staffed, every black woman we hired refused to work the same as us “whities!” I told them just that!! You will work the same as the rest of us or you won’t have a job! Plus the one our accounting department promoted to a supervisor was caught embezzling money by issuing checks to fake companies and cashing them! Then we had our wonderful black maintenance supervisor who couldn’t get the black people to work like the white people he hired worked! He and I were good friends and he even said that they were brainwashed to think they didn’t have to work as hard because they were black!!! Then there was another black woman who was promoted in our jewelry vault, and surprise was caught sneaking diamonds out that she stole! This was in the eighties and although we all tried to give them a chance, no way were they going to work like the rest of us! So as much as we all tried to give them equal opportunities, they weren’t going to meet us half way!
Candace Owen's gets called every name in the book by black people simply because she believes in self accountability. She has mentioned that even some of her own family members have given her a hard time.
I've seen some of it. That's very sad about her family. Her family should be very proud of her. Of course she is an outstanding role model, but that's not what they want to see....someone being accountable!
I don't think she will run. She would have to address the "trani" issue if they do whether she is really a man or not and I don't think they want to do that. Plus, her polling is horrible. I just saw something on that this morning.
Yes. They wear the tee shirts to city council meetings in Jacksonville. I thought black men wore them too. It is a real belief. They believe God is giving them our possessions, like the Egyptians poured out riches on the departing Hebrew slaves.
This has been preached to them and you see it in the sense of entitlement.
There is rap music saying they were all kings and queens in Africa. Doesn’t make any sense, but justifies the taste for the good life.
I am truly glad to hear you are feeling better, Jeff! :) This makes me happy.
So I've posted this before, but when my dad thought he had "covid", we did two tests - his was negative and for the "control group" I ran tap water over it. Positive. And no, it's not in the water. The tests stink. Anyhow, I thought I'd hold on to that one if I ever wanted a day off, if I was the kind of person who would do such a thing!! 😁😉 I mean, who knows when I "took" the test? No one at work would believe it, though, because I've been vocal from the start that I would never test and never have.
It's hilarious that the CDC now thinks you don't have to quarantine. Hello?? Had they not pulled any nonsense, this whole darn nightmare would have been over YEARS ago because "covid" or the flu or a cold or whatever it was/is would have run its course! Our government and its agencies are filled with very stupid people.🤣🤣
Isn't it funny (not) how blue and red states are going in totally opposite directions with most laws? For example, shoplifting and squatting? I think anyone living in a blue state and legitimately trying to make a decent life for themselves is really being messed over by their own state, that is for sure.
I retired 3 years early, after 23 years. I was sent home on my lunch break, and not allowed back in the building where I worked…never to return (definitely not expected).
My bf was fired after 17 years, along with many of my former coworkers. There is a lawsuit pending now.
I never got sick pay (or any other paid time off) over my 6 years of employment there.
and from 2020 until I quit in early 2022, my "full time" position only had under 25 hours a week of available work to do unless I wanted to take up organization or paperwork duties, neither of which I am suited for.
I was able to survive on the reduced pay, but my credit went to crap because of debts falling under the bus while all my income went to housing and survival expenses.
a week off cost me on average 240$ of lost income during that timeframe
thanks. but I've only had a couple jobs during my 28-30ish years of wage slavery which had any kind of paid time off.
paid national holidays at one or two places (not as many as bank holidays of course,) a week of paid sick time at two, and I don't think I've ever had paid vacation.
I'm not really a dedicated wage slave so I've had a lot of different jobs over that timeframe.
my lower first world socioeconomic caste is still higher than I was born into but it's the 15-20K a year pay range. it's not too bad as long as you can fix and build things to avoid spending money to enjoy first world comforts. this level of the economic ladder is still above the work-challenged or houseless so don't feel too bad about it.
Well, I was at my PCP a few days ago for an annual physical.
As the nurse was taking blood and asked how I was, I told her that I had covid but was 💯% fine now. She said " do not mention that to Dr. X, because she will make you take a test to make sure you don't have it anymore. " Dr. X (female in her 60s) is still wearing a mask, but atleast stopped requiring her patients to also wear one around 5 months ago. She is the only doctor in the practice that is!
I hate it when people say their doctor “made” them do something. You should always have a choice and if you don’t, or even think you don’t, there’s a problem.
Born stubborn and I refuse to change. No doctor has the right to force anyone to do anything. What is that old joke again?.... What's the difference between God and a doctor? God knows he's not a doctor.
Sadly, so many of us were brainwashed into going along with people in positions of authority. The Virus certainly has helped a lot of us realize what power we actually DO have. The power to say NO.
Our primary care doctor hasn’t called back yet. My husband called a couple weeks ago. The office is understaffed due to illnesses. I only go because disability harasses me. Integrative medicine doctor for actual help.
You may want to consider getting a different doctor; still wearing a mask and ordering patients to take Covid tests? She doesn’t seem to use critical thinking skills which are essential if you’re in healthcare.
No she doesn't. She is also a medication freak and cholesterol worrier. But few doctors do. I see her following all the insurance guidelines when she asks questions.
The latest push is for those horrible osteoporosis drugs.
She doesn't want to hear about anything natural I have researched.
So I say no to the insurance questions about medication and we move on.
Don’t take statins! That’s as big of a sham as the Covid vaccine! A Midwestern Doctor (substack) has addressed statins several times. Most Americans have elevated “bad” cholesterol (LDL) but how are your triglycerides? That tells you much more about your risk of cardiac disease. Also, there’s a simple inexpensive test, a cardioscan, that will show if there’s blockage in your cardiac arteries. That’s the information you need to determine your heart health. My doctor recommended I take statins for my “high cholesterol” and I did the cardioscan which showed 0 plaque in my cardiac arteries! My family history is that we all have elevated cholesterol but no one has died of heart disease or even had any cardiac issues. My mom is still healthy and active at age 94!!
You’re AWAKE Julie! My grandma lived until she was in her 90’s. She never had a driver’s license in San Francisco…she walked everywhere and took the bus. She was also a “sun worshipper”. And had the wrinkles to prove it-lol! I adored her. Age is definitely a state of mind!
People need to learn to read their own blood tests! I started doing this. Then the doctor tells me to come in to “go over” them. I did it myself doc! And I asked to have my Vitamin D checked…it was/is 100%!!!! I go outside everyday without sunscreen. I also look at the sun without sunglasses. THIS is a cure for so much. The mechanism of Vitamin D is miraculous…God given and FREE!
How much is your vitamin D? I take supplements and go outside and have not been able to get it to 40. My husband takes the same supplements but doesnt go outside as much as I do (we live in Florida,sun year round) and his vitamin D is higher. 🤔
Your brain is 50 % cholesterol. Low cholesterol is a cause of Alzheimers. Inflammation is the problem, not cholesterol. Remember listening to an old heart surgeon on Rush years ago who said he had performed over 3000 heart surgeries, and every one had inflammation. He said the whole cholesterol mantra is a scam. And it sure is. Just like cancer, high cholesterol won't kill you, but the treatments (statins) will.
Look at your Triglycerides. Also, considerer myeloperoxidase (MPO) and/or high sensitivity c-reactive protein (hsCRP) blood test; could be used to help interpret your risk instead of relying on scans(pick up calcium, not soft plaque) and lipid panels. You can order them yourselves at Quest and others.
Your family history is probably key here. Good for your! Caution on the cardio scan: it only picks up calcification, not soft plaque, and the latter is the most inflammatory part. Blood tests myeloperoxidase (MPO) and high sensitivity c-reactive protein (hsCRP) can also be used to help interpret your risk instead of relying on scans and lipid panels. You can order them yourselves at Quest and others.
And there actually is a lot of evidence that LDL is not “bad.”
Triglycerides are the thing to notice, and if high can be lowered quite efficiently by eliminating all seed oils and opting into a low carbohydrate way of eating.
Keep searching until you find one that does. You don't have a doctor now. You have a highly paid big Pharma sales rep. It took me almost a year to find a biological dentist, but I kept on searching
If you don’t choose to fire her, remember you are in charge of YOUR body. She can make recommendations. But you can also research and refuse her recommendations. And if she’s never asked you about your diet and exercise habits, she’s pretty much worthless.
She is worthless but a referral necessity. I have refused a good deal of meds..for osteoporosis, statins for a while, erc. Her diet recommendations are outdated: never eat meat or eggs because O have very high cholesterol. She does tell me to work out for osteoporosis. She is the same age as me, also quite fit.
It is possible to get your own annual bloodwork done without a doctor. Then you can go see one if things are out of sorts. We have been doing this for years. I just ordered a book to help us plan what to have done and read our own results. Dr. Ken D. Berry “Common Sense Labs: Blood Labs Demystified”
I always ask my doctor to order all my lab work prior to an appointment so we can actually look at the results and discuss any changes from the previous year before we decide on any further tests, meds or treatment. I’m in my late 60’s and take no prescription meds, just supplements and vitamins. I’m paying more attention to my diet than I previously did in my younger years. I also told my physician I’m not going to do any further mammograms and have never had a colonoscopy.
I am with you on all of that Julie! (Especially the mammograms and colonoscopy) I am 59 and on no meds, though I was on BP meds about 8 years ago and used diet to get myself off of them…and then stopped seeing doctors for check ups. I have done for sickness and injury, but not to monitor my metabolic health. That I do by ordering blood work (we use walkinlab) and then working on my lifestyle to get better numbers if need be. I hope to do this as long as possible. Even the best of doctors are often on the pharma track and their first response is take this pill.
I am fine with her. I dont really listen to her. I need her referrals for specialists who have a bit more critical thinking, but not much more, lol. I do need them for testing. I am no longer young (60s) like when I went a decade without need for doctors. . I have a medicare HMO. which needs referrals.
You'd be surprised what you really need and don't need. We found a holistic doctor who orders blood tests and other tests we (and most doctors ) have never hears of ie. organic acid tests (very comprehensive extensive . After his seldom used tests diagnosed my hyperthyroidism, helped me avoid going to a specialist (endocrinologist - surgical removal of thyroid, then Levothyroxin for life) ). I ended up seeking out Dr. Tennant in Irving TX, who fixed my hyperthyroidism in 3 months. Holistically.
I notice that the only things people regularly get is either Covid and Long Covid. And I cannot for the life of me figure why we continually use these useless cowcatcher terms?
Your report reminds me of how totally insane everything has gotten. Dr. X? I cannot begin to fathom this sort of mindless behavior. We live in the midst of total madness.
This 'doctor' does not sound all that well educated. Surely if she still believes in masks, I would not be comfortable with her making any health care calls on my part. Good for the nurse who gave you a heads up.
The refusal to test is also my problem but I’ve only been sick once in the covid era and I was on vacation at the time. 🙄 I figure it keeps me honest. Just remember that honesty is the best policy unless it’s family. Then it’s better to be silent. 😂. Or management. Then who cares. They are obviously lying to US so turnabout’s only fair.
Blue stater here. Maryland. I can confirm that we are constantly screwed over. Our old RINO governor, Larry Hogan, is now running for US senate. Not a fan of his. But he may be the only chance MD has to get a Republican into the US senate. I guess it’s better than what we currently have. Still gaming this out.
I guess you haven't seen what the Republican (RINO) Senators just did, and haven't heard about how they are scheming with the House to put prevent Speaker Johnson from carrying out his DOA threat on the funding-everybody-but-the-US-and-tie-next-POTUS-hands bill. Check out JD Vance's article in American Conservative from Monday, or watch the segment on War Room in which he describes in detail what these nasty actors are up to. Hogan would add to the nasty side of the equation.
Thank you. Looking back now it was funny. At the time, because I was so livid with my dad's physical therapist talking him into taking a two-year-old-expired test, which was positive (hence why I brought two new ones over to retest) I actually wanted to pee on the second test out of rebellion for how little I thought of these dumb tests. I know, not very mature, but I was so mad at the time. She had no business bullying him into that nonsense when he is clearly slipping into dementia and I had told her, as his medical POA, not to do any of that "covid" b*llsh*t. (My words exactly to her.) Had she reported the results, my dad's entire retirement community would have been locked in their homes again for several weeks. We called her immediately and told her she was not allowed to say a thing to anyone, and since the "emergency" period had legally ended, she had to follow that instruction. So, I went with water instead of pee to prove the point that the things don't work. And they don't. They never did.
What company made your tests? Maybe it is a sister company to the Reedley biolab venture Prestige Biotech. Universal Meditech was the brand, wasn't it?
I need to check on that one. I can't remember offhand. As it is, I don't think any of them are reputable, but I will check and report back. (I threw out the box so I'll need to look at a new one at the store where I got it to see.)
Since I live in Oregon, I can say this--The Democrats who run this state with the consent of the majority will fight to death, (I mean that) to run in the wrong direction in perpetuity.
This must be why we have legal "death with dignity" on the books. If only they (the DEMons in office) would consider it. LOL! Sorry, that is not very Christ like.
Wow. I’ve had a box of those things in a suitcase since September 2021 when I flew the first time during Covid to the east coast. No entity asked for a test even then. Hmmmmmm. 🤔
So happy to hear you’re feeling better, Jeff, and I hope the rest of your family is, too!
“You probably didn’t even know quarantines were still a thing.”
You read my mind 😂
I suspect they’re starting to downplay COVID now so they can take credit come election time … unless they’re just relieving the pressure a bit before they hit us with Disease X per the “Occasional Indulgences” phase of Biderman’s Chart of Coercion (see the full chart at https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-the-amnesty-demanders).
Happy Valentines Jeff! Hey did you watch Tucker Carlson's interview with Bret Weinstein, a professor in evolutionary biology about the Darien Gap and his amazing insights into the migrant invasion? It's mind blowing and makes perfect scary sense! If you haven't watched you need to take the time and then post the crap out of it!
This is the single most important issue and it eclipses everything else. In fact, everything else is being used to distract from this issue including the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East (Israel) which everyone gets all emotional about while ignoring the staging of an enemy within our OWN country. This is the one very real kinetic threat to all Americans that could literally destroy our society and culture. There are already at least 22 million illegals here with a significant number of them who came across as groups of single, military age men. The potential to destroy our society is no longer on the other side of the border. They are here and they will be used against us.
Every tyrannical government in history is preceded by chaos. They are just trying to cause chaos. Problem is the people get the government they deserve, except for a few with no power.
Sadly, 100% agree. Unbelievable that taxpayers, through our Marxist ‘government’ are paying for our own demise. Who ARE these people that vote for these total losers??? 🥸🥸🥸
Delusional woke Democrats. But not as many as they claim. After all, they had to use ballot fraud in 2020 in order to steal the election because they never had the vote. People saw through them even then.
He knows. Everyone in the administration knows. This is a planned coordinated invasion to destroy this country. Plenty of the Senators know too. They .....Don't .......Care. Same is true for Western Europe.
Yesterday 4 emergency vehicles showed up at my husband's office building. Many elderly clients enjoy the hair salon business on the first floor - my husband assumed one of the customers had a health issue. No; it was the hairdresser. A man in his early 50's - healthy, slim and trim - and always wearing his N95 mask. I would be willing to bet he has had every C19 jab/booster. His problem? Cardiac arrest.
The continued problem of people dying from C19 is a result of the "cure" - ie - the killing injection!
I am reading a book on "killer medicines" (2013) by Dr James L Marcum: he states when a person is ill or injured they will need to heal twice - once from the sickness /injury and once from the medications administered.
I had a friend tell me yesterday that her children's elementary school in the heart of Gainesville has become overrun with illegals and she has had to start looking into other options for education. Her daughters 2nd grade class only has 5 English speaking children and the teacher spends half the time trying to use a translation app to teach. The class sizes have also become higher than normal. I know alachua county, especially city of Gainesville, likes to do whatever they want but I started to wonder if the powers that be in Tallahassee know that these problems are occurring. Have you heard of these issues locally?
Here too. Elementary teachers first teach the lesson in Spanish, then in English. Our nephew is so bored during the Spanish part that he’s having behavior problems now. Imagine making a 9 year old sit all day listening half the day to language they don’t understand. Then punish them for not being able to sit still.
“Using a translation app to teach”—tells you right away that it’s a hot mess. Translation apps are not meant for that kind of thing AT ALL. What a train wreck. Love how people pay taxes for schools they can’t use or that don’t help their children actually learn 😡
And then the powers-at- be don't want your family to have school choice!!!! This is the perfect example of why we, as parents, and taxpayers should have this right!
It can be useful but the problem is you don’t ever really know if the translation said what you meant to communicate. And for more complex interactions like teaching it’s really not appropriate.
Yup. Daily loss of education for the others in the room. This should not be acceptable. I would certainly be out of there, making noise at school board meetings because I’d still be paying the big taxes.
She still has children in pubic school in Gameysmell??? We are overrun and she should have already gotten out! I think Alachua Co made it onto Libsoftiktok yesterday...
Considering all the Marxist brainwashing and all the gender brainwashing going on in the state schools, there is no excuse for enrolling a child in the state's brainwashing centers. When people wake up to this reality is when there child comes home after having their gender surgery. Obviously too late.
Gainesville is incredibly liberal, so I am not surprised that this is happening. However, I thought that DeSantis put a stop to this and I wonder as well if he knows about this.
Same here. My fiancé just had another kid added to her class. She has laminated cards to communicate with all the students that don't understand a lick of english. She has 19 kids in her class and the non-english speaking ones make up almost half of the class...
I can tell you why people are still dying of Covid. Hospital protocols. My 83-year-old father-in-law went to the Mayo Clinic emergency room against our wishes and was coerced into taking a Covid test. Of course it came back positive and they immediately tried to get him to take Remdesivir which we politely declined. The next morning on rounds they immediately started trying to get him to agree to take remdesivir which we declined again. We asked for hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin which they refused and at that point they essentially stopped treating him saying we were argumentative. They wouldn't write any prescriptions or help coordinate getting an oxygen concentrator at home. We ended up taking him home and our personal physician was able to give us prescriptions for everything he needs. 48 hours later at home he is doing just fine. Stay away from the hospital people. They are still killing people with their protocols.
This is typical. I have heard first hand reports from senior nurses in our local hospital here in FL like this and worse. Hospitals are being paid to kill people by the Feds. It is not incompetence. For example, any doctor knows what remdesivir does. Any nurse can tell you what intubation does to a patient. The medical profession is morally bankrupt.
You are 100% right but it's not just the hospitals. It's all through the practice of medicine. I have an upper respiratory infection now and on Monday, my doctor suggested that if I test positive for COVID, she would prescribe Paxlovid for me. I said "No way." She said "OK" and gave me prednisone and albuterol instead. My symptoms started resolving almost immediately. You have to push back so being an "educated consumer" in medicine is vital these days.
Paxlovid is pushed on people in nursing homes apparently. My MIL (97) tested positive, had no symptoms, and the nurse calmly stated they were starting her on Paxlovid. My husband said no to that. It’s 11 days later now and she still has no symptoms, and mercifully is not on that drug! We learned it’s over $500 for one course.
Too bad it would be a waste of money to sue them for omission to act in the best interests of the patient. TPTB are still pumping out falsified (yes, I said it!) studies for the sole purpose of combating real science. Uphill battle and they know it.
I'd like to see Herridge set up on Substack. She is one of the few journalists left who actually try to do journalism. When she is free of her Pharma and Soros bosses, we might see some good stuff. Having followed her for a number of years, I get the sense that A LOT of her work over the last couple of years has been, shall we say, "guided".
Yes interesting that she got the boot two days after dishing up Biden corruption news. Kind of like Tucker last April. Kind of like James O'Keefe last January (?).
Sadly, impeachments feel to me to be a motion meant to placate angry voters. I received an email last night from Congressman Kevin Kiley titled “Mayorkas Impeached!” . Oh, great, I thought…No. It’s just a formality - similar to the endless hearings we see on tv that don’t hold anyone responsible.
When politicians get impeached, even several times, and nothing happens, we get the hint. Just grandstanding by fellow politicians of every skunk stripe. Yawn. Move on. Nothing to see here. This incompetent will simply fail up or get some cushy mega paid job or board position. Weasel.
Yes. I’ve come to think of politics as a Monopoly game where politicians are the players with power to make up their own rules. They make rules up as they go to benefit themselves based on current circumstances.
Some decades ago a football novel titled "North Dallas Forty" was released, written by Peter Gent. Nick Nolte was in the film version. In that book, the footballers spoke of TEGWAR: The Exciting Game Without Any Rules.
We are playing TEGWAR against the elite class. At this point, I'm not sure who is ahead.
Got one from ol' Vern representing Sarasota area too, exclaiming the same thing. BFD. It will never happen. Stop tooting your horn that your Viagra is a placebo. Elite, limp and Republican.
all you needed was "University of Wisconsin-Madison".
Years ago, my wife and I lived in a suburb of Madison. Going to gatherings in the area was unpleasant - while everyone else would speak freely - even more freely after a few drinks - we had to keep our mouths shut and endure the harassment.
The entire covid section of Jeff Childers post today is filled with unpronounceable first and last names. About half a dozen "if that's his/her real name" opportunities missed. Being an expert is another one of those jobs Americans won't do I guess, like picking crops and roofing.
Thanks--have done so. Last April I set out to read the Bible (using copy given me by my church in June '58 when I was still 7), not hit-or-miss verse by verse as always before, but book by complete book. Had to read through the Pentateuch twice. It's a really good read when taken as a whole. Haven't reached the prophets, am only now in Psalms. But LamedVav makes the story of Abram and the angels--when Abram DARES to argue with the Lord over the number of righteous people in the two cities-that the cities might be spared-have much clearer meaning. So, thanks very much for pointing me in that direction.
This has gone from bad to worse. Now to avoid Covid I have to walk around in a mask, a helmet and a condom? Gonna take me a few more minutes to get dressed.
I wear a condom wherever I go, just in case, so I don't get pregnant.
So far, so good.
It's schlong-covid that you should be more concerned with.
OMG - Good one!!!
Lol 😆
💓👏🏼🤣
Ha! You win today🥇
oh no, no, no! I'm never going to be able to read articles about long covid the same way again! (thank you)
PRIME humor!!! Thanks for the hearty har har, t.l.a.
Nice! :D
🤣😆
Don't forget your helmet 🪖
Or a helmet for the helmet depending what the doctor did when you were born, just sayin'...
Brilliant idea. Watch out for toilet seats as well
I got bit by one just a week ago! Definitely on the lookout now!
Thank you for the laugh
😂😂
It may comfort you to know that the likelihood of being able to get pregnant OR to carry your baby to term should you actually become pregnant is greatly diminished if you’ve had any covid jabs. 😜
And definitely anytime you are in bed alone!
😂🤣
When did everyone stop carrying a rabbit's foot?
I still carry my lucky rabbits 🐇 foot! Kept me safe from Covid and accidental pregnancy at 62!
Definitely wasn't lucky for the rabbit...
because the place got overrun by three-legged rabbits who were mad as hell someone stole their left hind foot. It got really bad when they began to work together. Then nine rabbit legs would bring the devastation of twelve rabbits. Talk about force multiplification....
Hmmm.. that cup of Yrgacheffe must be really powerful this morning.
I carry two bird feet for good luck, and they are still attached to my living Sun Conure!
Do not comply.
That's easy. I've had three years of practice.
Might as well carry a roll of duct tape and some super glue too.
😂😂 I’m having a fantastic morning cracking up on all these comments. THANK YOU! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Don’t forget bubble wrap for both tour personal safely and emotionally damaged around you.
Protect Grandma from you falling and causing her to fall. She’s already ensconced in bubble wrap but her bubble wrap won’t work if you don’t have some,
too.
I always do. You would be amazed how useful they are.
I can think of a few places I’d love to duct tape (hint: certain parts of certain people's faces 😬)…
Those little finger condoms they started giving out to vote might help them stay healthy. You know, put them on all fingers.
Hahah! I was just about to comment on that.. For the little D energy these soy boy leftists like to exude.
You may enjoy Conceal and carry as part of the Ensemble?
Why wouldn't it be? That's even under normal circumstances. Welcome to the real world. I know we suffer under the delusion that safety is the norm, but that's always been thanks to some of our neighbors being armed. Criminals hate that. Makes for a more dangerous work environment. And now that we have a couple of million strangers crossing the border every year, it's just getting more obvious that we should always be ready to defend ourselves and our loved ones.
Just saw a postcard from our state representative and he's conducting a "Concealed Carry" seminar for his constituents - I'm thinking I should check that out!
What state?
PA, S.M. - where do you presently live?
I'm in AZ, which has been the #1 state for gun owners for a long time - but we have Democrat Senators and a (fraudulent) Democrat Governor, so I hope we can maintain our status. Too many CA refugees are coming here and making the same mistakes they made in CA.
I bet some enterprising individual could make a lot of money developing a disposable full-body covid condom and selling it to the branch covidian crowd.
Leslie Nielsen and Pricilla Presley each had one in one of the Naked Gun movies.
😅🤣😂
😂😂😂
Well, a condom is a corona mask after all…
It’s worth the effort. Just ask any wokester or karen.
🤣
I hate condoms and I've never worn a mask either
You forgot the life jacket. Negligence like this will kill you dead.
I like the 3. You should b safe from everything!
😂😂😂😂😂
Matt Taibbi has collaborated on a piece for Public:
Now, multiple credible sources tell Public and Racket that the United States Intelligence Community (IC), including the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), illegally mobilized foreign intelligence agencies to target Trump advisors long before the summer of 2016.
The new information fills many gaps in our understanding of the Russia collusion hoax and is supported by testimony already in the public record.
This is the REAL reason they wanted trumps “top secret” boxes they are looking for his declassified unredacted binder with all that info in it. And they know if he wins it’s gonna be hell to pay if he gets a halfway intelligent attorney general
Sadly, I'm sure they further refined their efforts for 2020. And people still want to say the 2020 election wasn't stolen! Think about the lengths they have been going to to try to keep Trump from being elected. Apparently, the lengths they have to go to. Even with international spy agencies working against him, the Russia hoax, the 24/7 storm of media hate coverage, lying about almost every position he holds, mass mail-in ballots, 3am ballot dumps in swing states, ballot harvesting, search engine manipulation, Facebook buying D votes....I'm sure I missed some...they still barely "won." How big is Trump's actual lead? It must be a 20-30 pt lead to be able to absorb all that cheating against him and still almost win.
Well yeah. They didn't do Russia Russia Russia without help.
The corruption has no bounds. This is a huge story.
Even more than the California Assembly, the CIA needs to be utterly broken up. Preferably, with extreme prejudice by the military, live on TV.
CIA needs to be broken up. But also, I don't see much hope until the American Empire is dismantled and the 'money' printing machine is smashed. Evil gets funded by unlimited quantities of Fantasy Money ... and the public gets continuously skinned.
The price to be paid for all of this perpetrated evil is going to be horrific. I fear that it could make the Great Depression look like a picnic.
It will, Dave--it is "the great tribulation" mentioned in New Testament prophecy!
100%, my friend. 100%.
I think She Thinks is pretty smart. And wishing you a very happy Valentine's Day. (And doesn't Valentine's Day remind one of the things which really count? Like home and hearth, fidelity, honesty ... and shunning the pollution of worldliness.)
I vote we become an island again. Later Jay
I already feel like an island. A tiny one in a sea of madness. (Well, at least I have some nice fried oysters today to forward with eats out on Valentine's Day with De Wife!)
Eat fish, live longer. Eat oysters, love longer. Now, go get'ter KB.... You need some Daddy Time, Son!
Anyway, if we closed the gates, expelled and refocused after the hangings, we could right the ship in about 10 years. I'm on board. You know, become the leaders again. No foreign wars, kick the daylights outta anyone that messes with us, end the FED, put everyone back to work and no favoritism just everyone in their place doing their best. Sounds like a plan to me.
Later Jay
Hum? You sound like The Perfect next door neighbor. I'd even invite you over for oysters!
Love this!!
This would take an act of GOD ALMIGHTY--and where would these "snoops snakes" go to? Undercover? They're already DEEP STATE - how DEEP can they go!!
Anyone think that Durham couldn’t have found this out during his bogus investigation? Both he and Mueller squandered lots of millions pretending to look for evidence.
Bullseye 🎯
This happened to George Papadopoulos.
Yes, and it appears that this may be a part of all the highly sensitive documents in Trump’s possession... of which he is now being prosecuted for! Imagine that!!!!!
Treasonous acts.
(From Sasha Stone’s Stack)
I found out what's in that column from a group of independent, mostly anonymous, open-source intelligence investigators on Twitter, almost in real time back in the day. Jeff Carlson, who posted as TheMarketsWork back then, was one of them, but not even a main one; same for Hans Mahncke (sp). Hopefully the calm tone and evidentiary documentation used by Public will help persuade some who formerly only listened to the MSM.
Yup! The only thing new to me from yesterday's release was the 26 targeted individuals. Like you, I followed a fairly wide-ranging ecosystem of citizen investigators, independent journalists, and other sorts probably starting in 2017-2018. Pieces were put together in articles published and posted on Twitter (in those days); long-form podcasts; documentary (The Plot Against the President); court document analysis; etc.
In December, Sundance at The Consrvtve Treehse published about that binder...and long before that he published about the likely real reasons for the raid on MAL. I developed an ecosystem of truth-tellers and investigators to follow from my days on Twittr, and when I shut down my account after seeing what was happening in the days before and following the inauguration (installation) of the current WH occupant, I made sure to find them all so I could keep track. Too many to keep up with, so I really appreciate the round-ups available here at C&C!
It is well known in Oregon that being a landlord SUCKS. You have no rights. Tenants and squatters have all the rights. What they did to landlords during the plandemic was egregious. Guess who got to skip rental payments but who didn’t get to skip mortgage payments?
We know people with rentals in Oregon and they are thanking God for having moral and ethical renters who still paid rent when the govt said they didn’t have to. Their advice to any property owners in Oregon: SELL. Do not be a landlord or you will get screwed. Watch the video. Says it all.
Good job Florida and red states that pass protection from squatters. They deserve ZERO rights and should be thrown in jail. Isn’t that what trespassing is for? 🙄
It happens in just regular residential property, it doesn't need to be a rental. Houses for sale or vacant due to vacationing or deployed owners have to deal with this too. Horrible.
You would think breaking and entering would be enough to kick them out. Property rights are eroding in states like this.
All I am going to say about the squatters story is that I am really glad I have guns. I hope I never have to use them.
I'll say this. If I were going to move to another state, I'd darn sure investigate what the laws are regarding tenants and squatters. While I'm sure there are unscrupulous rental/property owners, as there is in any group, there has to be a sensible balance of fairness. Having to pay someone illegally occupying your property to get them off of it is anything but fair. Squatters are thieves, and should receive the penalties thievery deserves. Tbh, you couldn't pay me to live or be a property owner in a blue state.
Today its an especially common problem with any land in the Philippines - usually they have to be paid off to leave and go to another property...
Years ago, my relatives thought about buying property in Yugoslavia to have a place to stay there on visits. Of course, my relatives were mostly born in the USA and accustomed to modern plumbing etc. - meaning it could not be a simple farm house etc that locals typically lived in under Tito and post Tito....
Then someone checked on the squatter laws there.... Let's just say it was not called the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia for nothing and they decided not to buy given the risks... Funny how we now have to worry about that in the USA...
Communism means limited or no property rights so that makes sense. It would be interesting to see what it’s like now in the various countries that used to make up Yugoslavia.
Let's say property values have gone up and don't even ask how much property along the Adriatic where Germans etc vacation goes for... Slovenia and Croatia are EU and both now on the Euro (the latter recently switched to it)...
A relative inherited a farm + some forest land rights in Slovenia - I think it was sold for a few hundred thousand Euro maybe a decade+ ago... The house was a shell b/c during the 1990s breakup, it was rented it to a Bosnian refugee who left in the middle of the night with all the copper wiring and fixtures...
My family and I traveled in Yugoslavia in the late 70s. My parents went back to the area within the past decade and it’s definitely changed so much!
So true, I was born and spent most of my life in Oregon. What Oregon has become is unbelievable.
Ditto: CA
Only small areas of CA. CA is a beautiful state run by an illegitimate government. THAT is the problem. If a legitimate election was given today, CA would be red, not blue.
No liklihood of that happening any time soon ... sadly!!! It's a beautiful place that has been turned into a dump by the Dem govts.
The population as well. People are blind
I am a native, born and raised. I will not go back. Even the smallish city, Chico is a mess, even Yuba City. Maybe I could live in Hopville. It is beautiful and I miss it.
Likewise Washington. At first I thought that Microsoft money would be good for East of the Mountains, but looks like more harm than good. I moved from "the coast" to CA decades ago, never even fathomed how awful it would get in either state.
It's very difficult to leave for those of us with limited means. To change domicile, CA requires meeting at least 13 different conditions (I checked in 2013). Our little rural enclave is perfect for weathering the coming political and economic hurricanes, and that makes it even more difficult to leave. (It appears that changing domicile in most states is difficult, but CA tax authorities are aggressive, and likely to become more aggressive with so many taxpayers leaving the state.)
Me too Judy, I’ve spent my whole life in Oregon minus those 14mo in CA (that was a mistake 🥹).
COVID has greatly shifted the Overton window towards government seizing control over property. I worry this will get continue to get worse as we go from one emergency declaration to another with the overall aim of installing a powerful centralized global government. I think most underestimate just how much has been taken from ordinary people. The wealth stolen is astronomical.
I heard a story about a Florida woman who had a squatter that she could not get out after she decided to overstay her VRBO vacation. The owner was from from New York. She went in and took the doors off the house, and eventually the squatter left. 😂 gotta get creative if the laws won’t protect us!
Yes, we have lots of clients buying rentals outside of California now - the risk is no longer worth it!
Yep I saw the writing on the wall and sold my rental when the law changed to favor tenants. When the law was coming down, even the prominent Democrat who owned a lot of rentals couldn’t get his buds to see the light.
Same in Seattle. My friend sold her rental on Capital Hill. The writing was on the wall 5 yrs ago.
I think that forcing landlords To Quit is part of Blackrock’s plan to OWN EVERYTHING and rent it back to the peasants 😼
"Burning Down The House" takes on a whole new meaning.
Landlords: Make sure your fire insurance is paid up.
Fight fire with fire. Literally.

I knew it was a matter of time that they pulled the black card with the corrupt Fani Willis. They opened the can of worms so as a woman I’ll throw in my two cents!! Notice lately that all the black women being propped up in the media are liberal, law breaking BLACK women!!! The only people putting them in a bad light is THEM!!!! Please aren’t there any moral, righteous and law abiding BLACK women in positions of power!!! Think the Harvard witch, Fani Willis who stole from taxpayers and is a shill for the Trump Derangement Syndrome, just to start! Anyone else would have been fired, arrested, the case against Trump dismissed, but oh no, she’s BLACK and can do anything unlawful she wants!!!
The LtGov of Virginia is a smart and super kick butt woman.
Former Marine too.
Well, she needs to speak out against Fani. Letting Fani get a pass because she’s black is an insult to every honest black woman.
Absolutely.
Agreed 100%.
I wanna hear from the EXWIFE! she should write the book, fast!
Absolutely correct!
wThe VA LT Govs job is too lead. She was a marine, so she leads from the front. She does not need to speak on behalf of someone she does not respect. Her opposition party fills slots with those who were chosen to not only muddy the water, but to anger you by having their inadequacies covered by the unseen hand. There are plenty of people of every tone that could do a better job than Fani, Biden and Fetterman, they are agents of chaos.
yup!
Until they all start speaking out it will continue. I don’t think Candice is all that since she married a white man and then went on Tucker and said she was only hiring black people as she wanted to help the black community. It’s still a racist hiring practice.
Yes! Winsome is fabulous!
I love Winsome Sears! She is awesome!
That’s great!!! They don’t get the press the crooks do for doing the right thing!
Yes!! It’s so nice to see actual smart and competent people in government—pretty much always on the Republican/conservative side.
No doubt about it. Most of them are crazy loons on the democrat side. Pretty pathetic that this is the example that is set for them.
Winsome Sears is her name and she is a woman of integrity!!!!
In a sane world , she would have made a great VP candidate (not enough experience for P?), but gasp, she is a gun enthusiast!
Just went to the Small Business Alliance monthly meeting this morning . It is focused on Frederick County ( we don't live there) , but addresses other issues . The Lt Governor is scheduled to speak in one of the upcoming meetings. We heard the Attorney General speak at this meeting a couple of months ago. This morning it was former state senator Jill Holtzman Vogle. Incredibly, she, her replacement (she retired,) and the House district representative all went to the same HS in a town of 4000 15 minutes from me. The House rep is also the now Minority Speaker.
I tried to get #TrumpSears2024 trending a while back but it didn't work, lol
That would be a good combination.
Well, if she’s conservative, then she’s not really black. 🙄 This is how they treat anyone who disagrees with them.
She's too busy making sure Glenn Youngkin fulfills his promises to the parents of school age children in VA!!
She made us a lot of promises but hasn’t delivered much as far as I can tell.
But how much power does any LtGov, in any state, actually have?
Not much, but she has a pulpit and she could be pushing for it (in this case, school choice, for which she was strongly advocating when she was running). But the Virginia state house today is thoroughly woke and blue so probably wouldn’t make much of a difference. 😡
I lived in VA for 16 years...used to be such a nice state.
Where did you move to?
(Asking for a friend)
Many white people are too desperate to love blacks. Maybe Winsome has done some good things, I don’t know. I’m only hearing praise that she likes guns -which is sorta typical in any hood.
I need to get in on this black woman thing. It can excuse all sorts of inexcusable behavior apparently. If only I had the urge to live as total scum like all of our "leaders". Sadly, those compulsions elude me.
Easy Peezy these days. Remember, you don't actually have to be a black woman. Just keep screaming that you identify as a black woman.
Ha! Ha! My dad was born in Cape Town, South Africa in 1920. That technically makes me African American and so I could get on the black woman thing. I would need to do is transition.
(Shush! Don't even dare to mention to De Wife that I even said this. She would be very, very mad with me!)
She's an elementary school teacher and apparently a porn star as well... with a new name...🤮🤮🤮🤮
Ewwwwww
Who would look at that hot mess? 🤢🤮 My. Standards have dropped big time.
Schools digging from the bottom of the barrel I see.
Scary they hired her.
Schools, healthcare, etc. They are ALL scraping the bottom of the barrel for help nowadays.
Too true!! It is a given!
Just read about her reinvention in the DailyMail.
Published just this morning: "Notorious race faker Rachel Dolezal now an elementary school teacher — while raking in thousands on OnlyFans"
https://nypost.com/2024/02/14/news/rachel-dolezal-now-works-at-an-elementary-school-while-still-on-onlyfans/#:~:text=Notorious%20race%20faker%20Rachel%20Dolezal%20now%20an%20elementary%20school%20teacher%20%E2%80%94%20while%20raking%20in%20thousands%20on%20OnlyFans
She was once head of the NAACP (what is a "colored" person, please?) chapter in Spokane, WA. Where apparently the demographic is so white, even their black people were white! (well, only the imposters)
Wow just wow must have missed this fall from grace saga.
You have to admire the fortitude 😜
Let’s not forget Mayor Tiffany Henyard of Dolton Illinois burning through tax payer cash for trips and armed security in a poor 95% BLACK small town playing the black woman card. She just might be the WORST of all
Exactly and there are many more!!! Not a good track record for sure, yet they can get away with it because of the “black” card they always play!!
Althea Bernstein in Madison claiming four white frat boys threw lighter fluid on her when she was in her car stopped at a light at night. She is very light-skinned so in those few seconds how could they tell?? Long story short thousands spent investigating and of course was all made up. She faced zero consequences either criminally or financially. Yet the media was able to scream racism for a few weeks. Though they mysteriously left out the retractions.
No wait! That's Carol Ammons Urbana's mayor and her husband the states sec.
😩always ILLinois where I grew up and left long LONG ago
Same! I was going to ask if it was below Carbondale but I assume it is rampant in the whole state.

PS Recently, I told my Dad thank you for getting us out of there. The place is a total shit show!
For the life of me, I cannot understand why black people accept this garbage from their “leaders”. Of all people, they should be the MOST outraged by the familiar pattern of stealing tax money to fund lavish lifestyles, then hiding behind their “black” or “black woman” identities! But they are NOT outraged! Instead, they circle the wagons! It’s like they are hypnotized 😵💫!!
How can they not realize that these scoundrels are stealing from THEM?!?!? 🤷🏻♀️
I am very curious to know how the church she spoke at is justifying her affair that has finally come to light in the last couple of weeks.
That “church” justifies a lot of things that aren’t biblical. Not much of a church, but more of a race-based political power center hiding behind a thin veneer of religiosity.
I agree with you 100%. But white people actually tolerate this to an even higher degree. Think about how many white politicians are complete imbeciles, break the law, and ignore their constituents? I’m definitely not defending how the media circles the wagons of black people. But we seriously have the same problem. I would love it if voters would stop this insanity.
But I don’t think white people support crooked white politicians because they are white in the same way blacks support black politicians simply because they are black. For whites I think it’s more of a party allegiance if they support a corrupt white politician. It’s not a race thing. IMO
White politicians don’t get away with as much as black politicians. Remember Maxine Waters telling people to harass people at dinner? She was promoting violence. She should have been censored. A white politician would have been held accountable.
I recall the racism angle being floated when then Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick's reign came to an end. The problem in Kwame's case was that he was too corrupt and criminal for the racism argument to take root. I see hints of Kwame in Fani Willis.
And let’s not forget Trump pardoned him😉 and NOW the former mayor is a MINISTER with a giant house and a new wife and 2 baybays. At 53 🤮
Christine Beatty Mayor K’s text messaging gal pal didn’t fare as well as today’s black female “leaders”. After filing bankruptcy and disappearing to Atlanta the black Mecca she’s now back in Motown running the THAW program. What’s that you ask? A giveaway for people who don’t pay they lite and gas bill.
I remember attorney Norman Yatooma's wrongful death lawsuit against Kwame arising out of the death of Tamara 'Strawberry' Greene. You may recall that Strawberry allegedly 'danced' (among other things) at a party hosted by Kwame at the Manoogian Mansion and she was later killed in a drive-by shooting. They never caught the killer but it was suspected that Kwame ordered the 'hit'.
The lawsuit ultimately was dismissed for lack of evidence and died on appeal but Kwame's dirty laundry was hung out for all to see. Kwame and everyone associated with him was dirty. I don't see much difference between current Atlanta politics and Detroit's during Kwame's time.
“Strawberries” were always available back in the day for big fat criminals like Mayor K 😉
See, there's argument for condoms right there...... case closed!
Later Jay
Yeah that was so predictable and so lame 🙄 They’ve really got nothing else, except maybe the Clintonesque argument of “private life” a few people have attempted to make. I guess Fani is just helping herself to her own “reparations” from the taxpayers 🙄
Candace Owens?
Would love to see Candace Owens respond to the Fani Willis story. She would set them straight immediately.
You have to wonder why she hasn't commented after all this time!!!! I've been amazed watching this whole thing unravel that so few have said one word! So its like an understanding that all these corrupt and mentally deranged black women doing despicable, corrupt actions, get a pass from so many!!!! It has been so obvious from the beginning.
Give her some time. One thing about Candice, she's known to sit back and watch for a while before commenting. She's big about knowing as many facts as possible before saying anything.
She did a series on BLM that was quite eye opening. She also exposed a black woman running for office (Boston I think). Lizzo is another one she's taken on (the
fat-is-beautiful singer).
Another thing, she tends to stick to cultural issues, not so much political issues.
She was (very) pregnant last time I saw her speaking to a group of college students.
May be focusing on her new baby currently? Just a guess.
No, Watch her on YouTube. She’s been doing deep dives on Ukraine and Russia.
Yes! Watched one yesterday and she gave an awesome Russian history lesson. The number of slaughtered Christians is just jaw dropping and no one was ever held accountable for that.
that was my thought too
Very possible and she needs to do that!
No . Controlled opposition. Her husband is her handler
So? Who better to have as a "handler" than one's own spouse?
LOL
The only silver lining I see in this stuff is that the more the 'establishment perps' run with this stuff in the news cycle, the more this stuff becomes transparently threadbare.
Regarding all of this, two things sting. First, the whole politic of division is devoid of all moral content, and as we all know by now, civilizations stand and prosper only on a moral ordering. Once the moral order is abolished, then all devolves into chaos, destruction, stealing and murder.
Second is that the rest of the intelligent world sees through the Collective West and what they see is a cesspool of corruption with clown-like emperor rulers running the corruption. It's Fanni Willis, Trump derangement, Babbling Bidden and much more. To the rest of the world, the West is a house of cards ready for the wind to come along and finish things off.
Then there’s Kamala, although a lot of people don’t consider her experience to be black American. She slept her way up the ladder (San Francisco mayor Willie Brown while he was married.) They only seem to care if the person is anything other than liberal.
She’ll be whatever they want her to be!!
There are lots and lots of conservative blacks who are Trump supporters. The whole black - white things is a divide-and-conquer strategy. Don't fall for it.
Oh yes, I am very aware of that. I am not the least bit prejudice, but I am sick of this crap that they pull with all these corrupt black people. Obama started this when he was elected. I was waiting for it as I watched them drag this out. Most other people would have already been yanked out of their position and arrested for stealing taxpayer money for her adulterer boyfriend. Talk about bold!!!! She really didn't think she would get caught. Apparently anyone who will manufacturer false charges against President Trump are excused of behaving lawfully these days!!!! It's pretty obvious.
I'm sure there are quite a few - but they are NOT politicians - think about all of the reprobate MALE, WHITE politicians in our country's history - indeed the world history!!
Oh I know that, but they are all corrupt and making any authentic, talented black women with morals look bad! When all this “black” crap started, forget hiring people for their qualifications, we had to fill that black quota. I ran a very busy tax department and we were always short-staffed, every black woman we hired refused to work the same as us “whities!” I told them just that!! You will work the same as the rest of us or you won’t have a job! Plus the one our accounting department promoted to a supervisor was caught embezzling money by issuing checks to fake companies and cashing them! Then we had our wonderful black maintenance supervisor who couldn’t get the black people to work like the white people he hired worked! He and I were good friends and he even said that they were brainwashed to think they didn’t have to work as hard because they were black!!! Then there was another black woman who was promoted in our jewelry vault, and surprise was caught sneaking diamonds out that she stole! This was in the eighties and although we all tried to give them a chance, no way were they going to work like the rest of us! So as much as we all tried to give them equal opportunities, they weren’t going to meet us half way!
Candace Owen's gets called every name in the book by black people simply because she believes in self accountability. She has mentioned that even some of her own family members have given her a hard time.
I've seen some of it. That's very sad about her family. Her family should be very proud of her. Of course she is an outstanding role model, but that's not what they want to see....someone being accountable!
Just wait until Mike Obama becomes the first black female dictator.
Well then that will be another election stolen because Ovomit will have his fourth term as President!
Quite true
I don't think she will run. She would have to address the "trani" issue if they do whether she is really a man or not and I don't think they want to do that. Plus, her polling is horrible. I just saw something on that this morning.
yup. they scrubbed the pix from the Internet but still far too many people know and she wont get away with it TWICE.
Hope not
😂
Yes. They wear the tee shirts to city council meetings in Jacksonville. I thought black men wore them too. It is a real belief. They believe God is giving them our possessions, like the Egyptians poured out riches on the departing Hebrew slaves.
This has been preached to them and you see it in the sense of entitlement.
There is rap music saying they were all kings and queens in Africa. Doesn’t make any sense, but justifies the taste for the good life.
I wonder if some of that rap is from this person:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40Dwef7IHd8
The whole persona reeks of shallowness and haughtiness.... pride before the fall, you know.
Later Jay
Starting with M. Obama, or does it go back to Oprah? Whatever…its definitely their time.
I am truly glad to hear you are feeling better, Jeff! :) This makes me happy.
So I've posted this before, but when my dad thought he had "covid", we did two tests - his was negative and for the "control group" I ran tap water over it. Positive. And no, it's not in the water. The tests stink. Anyhow, I thought I'd hold on to that one if I ever wanted a day off, if I was the kind of person who would do such a thing!! 😁😉 I mean, who knows when I "took" the test? No one at work would believe it, though, because I've been vocal from the start that I would never test and never have.
It's hilarious that the CDC now thinks you don't have to quarantine. Hello?? Had they not pulled any nonsense, this whole darn nightmare would have been over YEARS ago because "covid" or the flu or a cold or whatever it was/is would have run its course! Our government and its agencies are filled with very stupid people.🤣🤣
Isn't it funny (not) how blue and red states are going in totally opposite directions with most laws? For example, shoplifting and squatting? I think anyone living in a blue state and legitimately trying to make a decent life for themselves is really being messed over by their own state, that is for sure.
in 2020-2022 I used the Centers for Death Certification quarantine standards to take a week off from work four times.
not for a test result, but because I refused to use the tests, and mild flu symptoms were adequate by the promoted standard for recovery time.
I refused the test and I was forced to retire (“fired”).
Some lawyers are now taking these cases. You should look for a lawyer and Sue.
I retired 3 years early, after 23 years. I was sent home on my lunch break, and not allowed back in the building where I worked…never to return (definitely not expected).
My bf was fired after 17 years, along with many of my former coworkers. There is a lawsuit pending now.
Im so sorry!
Liz, I can’t believe how much time has gone by! I was “fired” in March of 2021. Crazy! God is good!✝️😉
I really hope your "vacation"/turning point etc has been a good experience for you!
Oh, it has! In God’s Universe, all is good…just not on our time.
Considering how incredibly stressed out I was, I should have done that more than once. The problem is our company has zero sick pay.
I never got sick pay (or any other paid time off) over my 6 years of employment there.
and from 2020 until I quit in early 2022, my "full time" position only had under 25 hours a week of available work to do unless I wanted to take up organization or paperwork duties, neither of which I am suited for.
I was able to survive on the reduced pay, but my credit went to crap because of debts falling under the bus while all my income went to housing and survival expenses.
a week off cost me on average 240$ of lost income during that timeframe
Wow, I am very sorry. That is so, so hard. Yikes.
thanks. but I've only had a couple jobs during my 28-30ish years of wage slavery which had any kind of paid time off.
paid national holidays at one or two places (not as many as bank holidays of course,) a week of paid sick time at two, and I don't think I've ever had paid vacation.
I'm not really a dedicated wage slave so I've had a lot of different jobs over that timeframe.
my lower first world socioeconomic caste is still higher than I was born into but it's the 15-20K a year pay range. it's not too bad as long as you can fix and build things to avoid spending money to enjoy first world comforts. this level of the economic ladder is still above the work-challenged or houseless so don't feel too bad about it.
Well, I was at my PCP a few days ago for an annual physical.
As the nurse was taking blood and asked how I was, I told her that I had covid but was 💯% fine now. She said " do not mention that to Dr. X, because she will make you take a test to make sure you don't have it anymore. " Dr. X (female in her 60s) is still wearing a mask, but atleast stopped requiring her patients to also wear one around 5 months ago. She is the only doctor in the practice that is!
“MAKE you take a test” 😳 Surprised to hear Dr. X believes she has that kind of authority over her patients. She wouldn’t be my doctor for long.
I hate it when people say their doctor “made” them do something. You should always have a choice and if you don’t, or even think you don’t, there’s a problem.
Born stubborn and I refuse to change. No doctor has the right to force anyone to do anything. What is that old joke again?.... What's the difference between God and a doctor? God knows he's not a doctor.
😂
Like, “I was forced…” Nope! Unless you were held down.
100% right on!
Agree!
Sadly, so many of us were brainwashed into going along with people in positions of authority. The Virus certainly has helped a lot of us realize what power we actually DO have. The power to say NO.
Our primary care doctor hasn’t called back yet. My husband called a couple weeks ago. The office is understaffed due to illnesses. I only go because disability harasses me. Integrative medicine doctor for actual help.
I wouldn’t get near a doctor unless it was life or death. Even then, death might be a better option 😱😂🤣! Kidding!
Agree, Renee! Only the ER if I’m stabbed or shot! Doctors are very toxic for your health.
You may want to consider getting a different doctor; still wearing a mask and ordering patients to take Covid tests? She doesn’t seem to use critical thinking skills which are essential if you’re in healthcare.
No she doesn't. She is also a medication freak and cholesterol worrier. But few doctors do. I see her following all the insurance guidelines when she asks questions.
The latest push is for those horrible osteoporosis drugs.
She doesn't want to hear about anything natural I have researched.
So I say no to the insurance questions about medication and we move on.
Don’t take statins! That’s as big of a sham as the Covid vaccine! A Midwestern Doctor (substack) has addressed statins several times. Most Americans have elevated “bad” cholesterol (LDL) but how are your triglycerides? That tells you much more about your risk of cardiac disease. Also, there’s a simple inexpensive test, a cardioscan, that will show if there’s blockage in your cardiac arteries. That’s the information you need to determine your heart health. My doctor recommended I take statins for my “high cholesterol” and I did the cardioscan which showed 0 plaque in my cardiac arteries! My family history is that we all have elevated cholesterol but no one has died of heart disease or even had any cardiac issues. My mom is still healthy and active at age 94!!
You’re AWAKE Julie! My grandma lived until she was in her 90’s. She never had a driver’s license in San Francisco…she walked everywhere and took the bus. She was also a “sun worshipper”. And had the wrinkles to prove it-lol! I adored her. Age is definitely a state of mind!
People need to learn to read their own blood tests! I started doing this. Then the doctor tells me to come in to “go over” them. I did it myself doc! And I asked to have my Vitamin D checked…it was/is 100%!!!! I go outside everyday without sunscreen. I also look at the sun without sunglasses. THIS is a cure for so much. The mechanism of Vitamin D is miraculous…God given and FREE!
How much is your vitamin D? I take supplements and go outside and have not been able to get it to 40. My husband takes the same supplements but doesnt go outside as much as I do (we live in Florida,sun year round) and his vitamin D is higher. 🤔
How elevated? My mom and I both have familial hypercholesterol. I stopped statins and my cholesterol is 325 and 250 LDL!
Your brain is 50 % cholesterol. Low cholesterol is a cause of Alzheimers. Inflammation is the problem, not cholesterol. Remember listening to an old heart surgeon on Rush years ago who said he had performed over 3000 heart surgeries, and every one had inflammation. He said the whole cholesterol mantra is a scam. And it sure is. Just like cancer, high cholesterol won't kill you, but the treatments (statins) will.
PS. The cardiologist didcsend me for a cardiac calcium score test. It was 20. He said that for 66 it wasnt bad. He didnt seem concerned.
Look at your Triglycerides. Also, considerer myeloperoxidase (MPO) and/or high sensitivity c-reactive protein (hsCRP) blood test; could be used to help interpret your risk instead of relying on scans(pick up calcium, not soft plaque) and lipid panels. You can order them yourselves at Quest and others.
Your family history is probably key here. Good for your! Caution on the cardio scan: it only picks up calcification, not soft plaque, and the latter is the most inflammatory part. Blood tests myeloperoxidase (MPO) and high sensitivity c-reactive protein (hsCRP) can also be used to help interpret your risk instead of relying on scans and lipid panels. You can order them yourselves at Quest and others.
And there actually is a lot of evidence that LDL is not “bad.”
Triglycerides are the thing to notice, and if high can be lowered quite efficiently by eliminating all seed oils and opting into a low carbohydrate way of eating.
Keep searching until you find one that does. You don't have a doctor now. You have a highly paid big Pharma sales rep. It took me almost a year to find a biological dentist, but I kept on searching
If you don’t choose to fire her, remember you are in charge of YOUR body. She can make recommendations. But you can also research and refuse her recommendations. And if she’s never asked you about your diet and exercise habits, she’s pretty much worthless.
She is worthless but a referral necessity. I have refused a good deal of meds..for osteoporosis, statins for a while, erc. Her diet recommendations are outdated: never eat meat or eggs because O have very high cholesterol. She does tell me to work out for osteoporosis. She is the same age as me, also quite fit.
It is possible to get your own annual bloodwork done without a doctor. Then you can go see one if things are out of sorts. We have been doing this for years. I just ordered a book to help us plan what to have done and read our own results. Dr. Ken D. Berry “Common Sense Labs: Blood Labs Demystified”
I always ask my doctor to order all my lab work prior to an appointment so we can actually look at the results and discuss any changes from the previous year before we decide on any further tests, meds or treatment. I’m in my late 60’s and take no prescription meds, just supplements and vitamins. I’m paying more attention to my diet than I previously did in my younger years. I also told my physician I’m not going to do any further mammograms and have never had a colonoscopy.
I am with you on all of that Julie! (Especially the mammograms and colonoscopy) I am 59 and on no meds, though I was on BP meds about 8 years ago and used diet to get myself off of them…and then stopped seeing doctors for check ups. I have done for sickness and injury, but not to monitor my metabolic health. That I do by ordering blood work (we use walkinlab) and then working on my lifestyle to get better numbers if need be. I hope to do this as long as possible. Even the best of doctors are often on the pharma track and their first response is take this pill.
Good for you! You are your own best advocate for yourself and your health! Diet and exercise and fresh air can do wonders in improving your health!
Julie! You sound like me! I’m 60, and I do the same. I’m on no meds either, but exercise, supplements, intermittent fasting, sunshine, exercise…
FYI, there's a 'send from home' for colon blood that's pretty sensitive.
I am fine with her. I dont really listen to her. I need her referrals for specialists who have a bit more critical thinking, but not much more, lol. I do need them for testing. I am no longer young (60s) like when I went a decade without need for doctors. . I have a medicare HMO. which needs referrals.
With age comes wisdom but also health issues.
You'd be surprised what you really need and don't need. We found a holistic doctor who orders blood tests and other tests we (and most doctors ) have never hears of ie. organic acid tests (very comprehensive extensive . After his seldom used tests diagnosed my hyperthyroidism, helped me avoid going to a specialist (endocrinologist - surgical removal of thyroid, then Levothyroxin for life) ). I ended up seeking out Dr. Tennant in Irving TX, who fixed my hyperthyroidism in 3 months. Holistically.
I’ve been using Direct Labs for years. Very empowering to test what I want privately, with no report to my doctor or insurance.
Thank you Louise! I love Dr. Berry!
Note: no one needs annual blood work!
Never let a dr do any test unless you have major symptoms!
The purpose of testing is to get you on the assembly line to be medicined to death 💀.
Love Ken Berry!
I notice that the only things people regularly get is either Covid and Long Covid. And I cannot for the life of me figure why we continually use these useless cowcatcher terms?
Your report reminds me of how totally insane everything has gotten. Dr. X? I cannot begin to fathom this sort of mindless behavior. We live in the midst of total madness.
I hope you can find a new Dr. Angela.
She is fine for the specalist referrals I need from her. The specialists are the better doctors.
Ugh!!
This 'doctor' does not sound all that well educated. Surely if she still believes in masks, I would not be comfortable with her making any health care calls on my part. Good for the nurse who gave you a heads up.
The refusal to test is also my problem but I’ve only been sick once in the covid era and I was on vacation at the time. 🙄 I figure it keeps me honest. Just remember that honesty is the best policy unless it’s family. Then it’s better to be silent. 😂. Or management. Then who cares. They are obviously lying to US so turnabout’s only fair.
Everything you wrote! I need to try the water test. Could it be repeatable?
Ever wonder what’s on the tippy top of those tests you shove up your nose? Not to mention the inaccuracy and unreliability.
Glad the Childers are on the mend!
It’s a carcinogen. That’s why I didn’t put it up my nose, and lost my job of 23 years.
That’s just awful Renee . I’m so sorry that happened to you🙏
Blue stater here. Maryland. I can confirm that we are constantly screwed over. Our old RINO governor, Larry Hogan, is now running for US senate. Not a fan of his. But he may be the only chance MD has to get a Republican into the US senate. I guess it’s better than what we currently have. Still gaming this out.
I guess you haven't seen what the Republican (RINO) Senators just did, and haven't heard about how they are scheming with the House to put prevent Speaker Johnson from carrying out his DOA threat on the funding-everybody-but-the-US-and-tie-next-POTUS-hands bill. Check out JD Vance's article in American Conservative from Monday, or watch the segment on War Room in which he describes in detail what these nasty actors are up to. Hogan would add to the nasty side of the equation.
I love your tap water test!
Thank you. Looking back now it was funny. At the time, because I was so livid with my dad's physical therapist talking him into taking a two-year-old-expired test, which was positive (hence why I brought two new ones over to retest) I actually wanted to pee on the second test out of rebellion for how little I thought of these dumb tests. I know, not very mature, but I was so mad at the time. She had no business bullying him into that nonsense when he is clearly slipping into dementia and I had told her, as his medical POA, not to do any of that "covid" b*llsh*t. (My words exactly to her.) Had she reported the results, my dad's entire retirement community would have been locked in their homes again for several weeks. We called her immediately and told her she was not allowed to say a thing to anyone, and since the "emergency" period had legally ended, she had to follow that instruction. So, I went with water instead of pee to prove the point that the things don't work. And they don't. They never did.
What company made your tests? Maybe it is a sister company to the Reedley biolab venture Prestige Biotech. Universal Meditech was the brand, wasn't it?
I need to check on that one. I can't remember offhand. As it is, I don't think any of them are reputable, but I will check and report back. (I threw out the box so I'll need to look at a new one at the store where I got it to see.)
I checked - it was the Flowflex antigen test.
Since I live in Oregon, I can say this--The Democrats who run this state with the consent of the majority will fight to death, (I mean that) to run in the wrong direction in perpetuity.
This must be why we have legal "death with dignity" on the books. If only they (the DEMons in office) would consider it. LOL! Sorry, that is not very Christ like.
It might depend on the sincerity and compassion on how its was presented.
Wow. I’ve had a box of those things in a suitcase since September 2021 when I flew the first time during Covid to the east coast. No entity asked for a test even then. Hmmmmmm. 🤔
They have expired. I threw all the free gvt ones I had out.
So happy to hear you’re feeling better, Jeff, and I hope the rest of your family is, too!
“You probably didn’t even know quarantines were still a thing.”
You read my mind 😂
I suspect they’re starting to downplay COVID now so they can take credit come election time … unless they’re just relieving the pressure a bit before they hit us with Disease X per the “Occasional Indulgences” phase of Biderman’s Chart of Coercion (see the full chart at https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-the-amnesty-demanders).
Happy Valentines Jeff! Hey did you watch Tucker Carlson's interview with Bret Weinstein, a professor in evolutionary biology about the Darien Gap and his amazing insights into the migrant invasion? It's mind blowing and makes perfect scary sense! If you haven't watched you need to take the time and then post the crap out of it!
This is the single most important issue and it eclipses everything else. In fact, everything else is being used to distract from this issue including the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East (Israel) which everyone gets all emotional about while ignoring the staging of an enemy within our OWN country. This is the one very real kinetic threat to all Americans that could literally destroy our society and culture. There are already at least 22 million illegals here with a significant number of them who came across as groups of single, military age men. The potential to destroy our society is no longer on the other side of the border. They are here and they will be used against us.
It’s called an enemy invasion. I was warning about this years ago, but, of course I’m a conspiracy theorist, right?
The Kalergi Plan…
Every tyrannical government in history is preceded by chaos. They are just trying to cause chaos. Problem is the people get the government they deserve, except for a few with no power.
Sadly, 100% agree. Unbelievable that taxpayers, through our Marxist ‘government’ are paying for our own demise. Who ARE these people that vote for these total losers??? 🥸🥸🥸
Delusional woke Democrats. But not as many as they claim. After all, they had to use ballot fraud in 2020 in order to steal the election because they never had the vote. People saw through them even then.
Weinstein's comments about the bioweapon in the last ten minutes of Tucker's interview deserve to be in a separate post. Epic!
I watched the excellent interview last night but must’ve missed that part. I’ll have to check it out again, thanks.
I watched the beginning - need to finish! Fascinating & horrifying at the risk that people take .
How can the secretary of homeland not know that?
He knows. Everyone in the administration knows. This is a planned coordinated invasion to destroy this country. Plenty of the Senators know too. They .....Don't .......Care. Same is true for Western Europe.
your absolutely right. We are seeing the death of our country.
Yesterday 4 emergency vehicles showed up at my husband's office building. Many elderly clients enjoy the hair salon business on the first floor - my husband assumed one of the customers had a health issue. No; it was the hairdresser. A man in his early 50's - healthy, slim and trim - and always wearing his N95 mask. I would be willing to bet he has had every C19 jab/booster. His problem? Cardiac arrest.
The continued problem of people dying from C19 is a result of the "cure" - ie - the killing injection!
I am reading a book on "killer medicines" (2013) by Dr James L Marcum: he states when a person is ill or injured they will need to heal twice - once from the sickness /injury and once from the medications administered.
Something to ponder!
I had a friend tell me yesterday that her children's elementary school in the heart of Gainesville has become overrun with illegals and she has had to start looking into other options for education. Her daughters 2nd grade class only has 5 English speaking children and the teacher spends half the time trying to use a translation app to teach. The class sizes have also become higher than normal. I know alachua county, especially city of Gainesville, likes to do whatever they want but I started to wonder if the powers that be in Tallahassee know that these problems are occurring. Have you heard of these issues locally?
Here too. Elementary teachers first teach the lesson in Spanish, then in English. Our nephew is so bored during the Spanish part that he’s having behavior problems now. Imagine making a 9 year old sit all day listening half the day to language they don’t understand. Then punish them for not being able to sit still.
This is the US now.
“Using a translation app to teach”—tells you right away that it’s a hot mess. Translation apps are not meant for that kind of thing AT ALL. What a train wreck. Love how people pay taxes for schools they can’t use or that don’t help their children actually learn 😡
And then the powers-at- be don't want your family to have school choice!!!! This is the perfect example of why we, as parents, and taxpayers should have this right!
Exactly!!
I use a translation app to communicate with my landscaper! 🌴🤦♀️
It can be useful but the problem is you don’t ever really know if the translation said what you meant to communicate. And for more complex interactions like teaching it’s really not appropriate.
It’s better than gesticulating and using “ no Grande” when I want my palms trimmed! 🤪
For sure 😆😁
Yup. Daily loss of education for the others in the room. This should not be acceptable. I would certainly be out of there, making noise at school board meetings because I’d still be paying the big taxes.
She still has children in pubic school in Gameysmell??? We are overrun and she should have already gotten out! I think Alachua Co made it onto Libsoftiktok yesterday...
Considering all the Marxist brainwashing and all the gender brainwashing going on in the state schools, there is no excuse for enrolling a child in the state's brainwashing centers. When people wake up to this reality is when there child comes home after having their gender surgery. Obviously too late.
Gainesville is incredibly liberal, so I am not surprised that this is happening. However, I thought that DeSantis put a stop to this and I wonder as well if he knows about this.
He does now...😉
Homeschool is good, and in some states, the state will pay you.
Homeschool! It’s good. And in some states you can get paid.
So glad I homeschool my fifth grader. In a blue state it’s just necessary.
Same here. My fiancé just had another kid added to her class. She has laminated cards to communicate with all the students that don't understand a lick of english. She has 19 kids in her class and the non-english speaking ones make up almost half of the class...
Glad you are feeling better Mr. Childers 🌞
The other problem with squatting in red states...getting the shit kicked out of you and thrown onto the street.
Or never seen again... goodbye Earl....
I can tell you why people are still dying of Covid. Hospital protocols. My 83-year-old father-in-law went to the Mayo Clinic emergency room against our wishes and was coerced into taking a Covid test. Of course it came back positive and they immediately tried to get him to take Remdesivir which we politely declined. The next morning on rounds they immediately started trying to get him to agree to take remdesivir which we declined again. We asked for hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin which they refused and at that point they essentially stopped treating him saying we were argumentative. They wouldn't write any prescriptions or help coordinate getting an oxygen concentrator at home. We ended up taking him home and our personal physician was able to give us prescriptions for everything he needs. 48 hours later at home he is doing just fine. Stay away from the hospital people. They are still killing people with their protocols.
This is typical. I have heard first hand reports from senior nurses in our local hospital here in FL like this and worse. Hospitals are being paid to kill people by the Feds. It is not incompetence. For example, any doctor knows what remdesivir does. Any nurse can tell you what intubation does to a patient. The medical profession is morally bankrupt.
You are 100% right but it's not just the hospitals. It's all through the practice of medicine. I have an upper respiratory infection now and on Monday, my doctor suggested that if I test positive for COVID, she would prescribe Paxlovid for me. I said "No way." She said "OK" and gave me prednisone and albuterol instead. My symptoms started resolving almost immediately. You have to push back so being an "educated consumer" in medicine is vital these days.
Paxlovid is pushed on people in nursing homes apparently. My MIL (97) tested positive, had no symptoms, and the nurse calmly stated they were starting her on Paxlovid. My husband said no to that. It’s 11 days later now and she still has no symptoms, and mercifully is not on that drug! We learned it’s over $500 for one course.
That is disgusting!! I wish they could be sued for this!!
And good for you for being such great advocates for him ❤️
🤬🤯🤬🤯🤬! Thank goodness for the sanity of C&C!
Too bad it would be a waste of money to sue them for omission to act in the best interests of the patient. TPTB are still pumping out falsified (yes, I said it!) studies for the sole purpose of combating real science. Uphill battle and they know it.
I'd like to see Herridge set up on Substack. She is one of the few journalists left who actually try to do journalism. When she is free of her Pharma and Soros bosses, we might see some good stuff. Having followed her for a number of years, I get the sense that A LOT of her work over the last couple of years has been, shall we say, "guided".
Yes interesting that she got the boot two days after dishing up Biden corruption news. Kind of like Tucker last April. Kind of like James O'Keefe last January (?).
It's no longer even a surprise. Maybe she did it on purpose to break her chains?
Interesting thought.
Similar to Kim Iversen who was guided in her previous gig at The Hill
familiar with the name, but not her work
She has her own show every day at 2:00 pm EST on Rumble.

WOW — that’s flipping CRAY-CRAY…boils my blood….!!!
Sadly, impeachments feel to me to be a motion meant to placate angry voters. I received an email last night from Congressman Kevin Kiley titled “Mayorkas Impeached!” . Oh, great, I thought…No. It’s just a formality - similar to the endless hearings we see on tv that don’t hold anyone responsible.
When politicians get impeached, even several times, and nothing happens, we get the hint. Just grandstanding by fellow politicians of every skunk stripe. Yawn. Move on. Nothing to see here. This incompetent will simply fail up or get some cushy mega paid job or board position. Weasel.
Yes. I’ve come to think of politics as a Monopoly game where politicians are the players with power to make up their own rules. They make rules up as they go to benefit themselves based on current circumstances.
Some decades ago a football novel titled "North Dallas Forty" was released, written by Peter Gent. Nick Nolte was in the film version. In that book, the footballers spoke of TEGWAR: The Exciting Game Without Any Rules.
We are playing TEGWAR against the elite class. At this point, I'm not sure who is ahead.
I think the original “Death Race” had similar rules, also “Running Man”. : )
Reminds me of Calvinball.
I miss Calvin! and Hobbs!
Oh me too!! So brilliantly insightful and funny!!!😍
I stand corrected ... it was "Bang The Drum Slowly", not "North Dallas Forty". Both are from the same era, and this geezer confused them!
Same reflections. The impeachment feels like a trade off for more $$ to Ukraine.🧐.
Exactly. It's theater and a distraction.
Got one from ol' Vern representing Sarasota area too, exclaiming the same thing. BFD. It will never happen. Stop tooting your horn that your Viagra is a placebo. Elite, limp and Republican.
Apoorva Mandavilli- from Wikipedia...

Need we say more?
all you needed was "University of Wisconsin-Madison".
Years ago, my wife and I lived in a suburb of Madison. Going to gatherings in the area was unpleasant - while everyone else would speak freely - even more freely after a few drinks - we had to keep our mouths shut and endure the harassment.
I observed that 3 of the 4 references quoted have what appear to be names coming from the subcontinent--just like Ms Apoorva.
The entire covid section of Jeff Childers post today is filled with unpronounceable first and last names. About half a dozen "if that's his/her real name" opportunities missed. Being an expert is another one of those jobs Americans won't do I guess, like picking crops and roofing.
I couldn't use the gag today, there were too many!
I was expecting you to but that explanation makes sense 😆
Don't worry, I did it for you in one of the comments 😁
Lamed Vav is Hebrew for 36. Look up the legend of Lamed Vav in the encyclopedia, ViaVeritas..
Thanks--have done so. Last April I set out to read the Bible (using copy given me by my church in June '58 when I was still 7), not hit-or-miss verse by verse as always before, but book by complete book. Had to read through the Pentateuch twice. It's a really good read when taken as a whole. Haven't reached the prophets, am only now in Psalms. But LamedVav makes the story of Abram and the angels--when Abram DARES to argue with the Lord over the number of righteous people in the two cities-that the cities might be spared-have much clearer meaning. So, thanks very much for pointing me in that direction.
If that's her real name. . .
