The expression of their faces bears witness against them,

And they display their sin like Sodom;

They do not even conceal it.

Woe to them!

For they have brought evil on themselves.

Say to the righteous that it will go well with them,

For they will eat the fruit of their actions.

Woe to the wicked! It will go badly with him,

For what he deserves will be done to him.

ā€” Isaiah 3:9-11 NASB1995

I remind myself frequently, ā€œIā€™m glad the Lord didnā€™t pull the big red handle one hour before I came to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christā€.

2 Peter 3: 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

2 Peter 3: 15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;

16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

I was reminded of this:

ā€œLord, I have heard the report about You and I fear.

O Lord, revive Your work in the midst of the years,

In the midst of the years make it known;

ā€” Habakkuk 3:2 NASB1995

ā€œThe Lord would revive his work among the people in the midst of the years of adversity. This may be applied to every season when the church, or believers, suffer under afflictions and trials. Mercy is what we must flee to for refuge, and rely upon as our only plea. We must not say, Remember our merit, but, Lord, remember thy own mercy.ā€ ā€”Matthew Henry

A certain minority group cannot bring themselves to vote differently. The idea that the republican party is for and about rich white persons has been firmly ingrained. There are other reasons they vote that way too.

Yes for many of them it goes way back sociologically for why they do it. I remember this being discussed in a PBS series on the history of different ethnic groups in America. Many people cannot break from the past and see that todays oppressed are not the deviants, but the rest of us!

Iā€™m amazed to learn many Jewish people, who are generally great business-minded people, vote Democrat; canā€™t imagine why!

Expand full comment

According to a special on PBS, they vote that way because this is the party which traditionally stood up for the underdog and oppressed, of which they related to. Also that is why they tend to tolerate or embrace liberal ideas and causes. However, it is odd, as the idea of liberal causes has taken a culturally, anti family and God sick turn, and liberal Jews tend to still still be family oriented.

Angela, your first statement is essentially wrong and clueless on a few counts. If I were a member of ā€œa certain minority groupā€ and, like a great many in ā€œcertain minority groupsā€, do vote differently than your assumptions of me, I might take issue with these.

Also as the geandaughter of immigrants I donā€™t get touchy when I hear generalizations about the sociological factors behind my etnic group or any other group. I find sociology intellectually fascinating. PBS did an entire series on each group and the historic whys of how they tend to vote became so much clearer.

Don't confuse criminality with anarchy. Anarchy simply means "absence of government" not "rioting in the streets". As such, it's actually very close to the philosophy behind the 10th Amendment.

Expand full comment
May 12, 2023Ā·edited May 12, 2023

However, anarchy has become synonymous with criminality and rioting in the streets because government is the only entity to enforce law and order (in a perfect world). Itā€™s way past time for states to step up and do what our UNconstitutional government refuses to do. The situation at our southern border is a prime example of that. I voted for Abbott, but he is weak on this issue. Texas is powerful enough to have stopped this mess or at least curtailed it to a large degree, if the will to do so had existed.

The 10th Amendment is well and good, IF any state would invoke it. Do you see that happening?

The real problem in NYC is APATHY. Not enough people are voting AT ALL. The uniparty is a given, opposition is considered futile. I donā€™t have the specific numbers (look it up), but in a city of 8M people, DeBlasio, who literally destroyed the city during his tenure, was elected *and* re-elected with something like @ 700,000 votes. Itā€™s disgusting. I grew up in Queens but live in the northern suburbs now.

What most people fail to realize is that the change that impacts individuals the most is fought for and executed at the LOCAL level, not in DC.

A story: Vickie Paladino (R) is a fearless NYC council woman representing my old hometown in comparatively upscale northern Queens, fighting every woke policy you can think of - despite being in the council minority. She also refused to share her vax status during mandates. I know her personally (sheā€™s my best friendā€™s older sister) and contributed to her campaign. Sheā€™s been called a female Trump. Seriously, no filter. šŸ˜‚ She says a number of the Dems on the council agree with her stances and applaud her outspokenness privately, but they still tow the party line on council votes. The hypocrisy is despicable.

Hereā€™s an example of the apathy I claim and why NYC will continue to decline. One of my friends still lives in the district and I have introduced her to Vickie. When Vickie won her hard-fought election, my friend was happy about it, but genuinely asked me how I thought it would benefit her personally. I asked, ā€œdid you vote for her?ā€ She sheepishly said she didnā€™t vote at all. When I told her that local elections were important and where change actually happens, she asked if I voted (which of course I did). I obviously hit a nerve because she took it as a criticism and literally jumped down my throat.

Long rambling story (sorry), but whatā€™s the bottom line? The moral of the story?

You may get what you vote for, but you also get what you DONā€™T vote for. Especially locally.

Tucker broadcast from Maine ... Rush broadcast from Florida ... Breitbart News streams from wherever the on-air anchor is at the moment.

When you have the kind of money he does, it can be Paradise. He is a New Yorker in his soul ( not to mention his worst of the worse voice and accent).

I was born and raised in Brooklyn. I lived in a northern suburb of the city for 30 years until 10 years ago.

New York, especially from back in the day never leaves your soul. You meet another New Yorker from your era and you understand and connect to each other despite different ethnic or religious background, despite different educational level. Nothing can describe it, so I don't expect others to understand.

Not trying to be a contrarian here, but Cernovich makes a good point, these people voted for this, why should good men risk everything to defend them?

Bragg was elected by an overwhelming majority, Manhattan is 90% democrat. So either these people want this, or they are too stupid/uniformed to know that locking up criminals to protect people is good for society. They want this.

Yet good men are supposed to step up and protect these people? Good men are supposed to risk everything to be jailed by a left-wing nutcase prosecutor and jury? Those good men will be separated from their family, unable to provide for their kids, unable to see them grow up, and have their life ruined, for protecting people who want and voted for the mayhem.

Young urban women overwhelming vote democrat and propel these leftist thugs into office, yet good patriotic men are supposed to step in and protect them when the inevitable happens? No way, chivalry is a two-way street. You don't get to have your cake and eat it too.

Cernovich is exactly right IMO. Good men should save their heroics for people who actually appreciate honor, valor, and courage, and don't put communists that free criminals in office.

Expand full comment

I would agree exceptā€¦when good men and women are minding their own business and thugs like that one start harming peopleā€¦.good men and women instinctively protect. Itā€™s in their nature. How do we live with ourselves if we turn away and let them be hurt when it was in our power to help them? Thatā€™s the difference between cowards and good men and women. We canā€™t turn a blind eye to thugs and criminals. šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø even if we want to.

Expand full comment

I don't like it either, but people have to learn from their actions. There's a real cost to be paid for mindlessly electing a communist just because he has a D by his name. Bragg made no secret about his intentions.

Personally, I avoid these situations by keeping myself and my family out of bad areas and situations. You could not pay me to ride a New York subway. It may sound cowardly but it keeps us from being victimized or being put in the position of having to confront one of these psychos. These people not only put themselves in the situation but vote for more if it. Particularly women, it's like they have a death wish.

Expand full comment

I get it. And I do agree with some of what you say.

I also avoid places that are unsafe as well. I would not knowingly go to places that are bad areas or bad situations. That is not cowardly. That is being wise!

And you are also right that a lot of people voted for this therefore should live with the consequences. Those consequences would be brave mend and women not even being there to help in the first place. However, if good men and women happen to be there, Iā€™m glad they would do the right thing and step up.

It's a slippery slope when good people stop doing the right thing, for whatever reason. Like I tell my kids, you're responsible for what you do. Not for what anyone else does. I hope men never stop being gallant simply because feminists don't want it. And I hope good men and women don't stop standing up to bullies simply because the populace doesn't deserve it. Because then no one is doing the right thing.

Expand full comment

I would argue the "right thing" is to take your family out of a lawless place and to protect them by using common sense. I have no obligation to threaten my own family's well-being by defending a woman who voted for lawlessness all because the guy with a "D" by his name supports and promotes abortion (and that's what it comes down to for many, if not most, young women).

Chivalry was a system designed to protect women as the weaker sex. The system worked in that certain behavior was expected of both sides. Women are not entitled to unconditional bravery from men just because of their chromosomes. If women want to do stupid things like vote for communists and ride unprotected in a lawless subway then they really should not expect men to step up and defend them.

Expand full comment

We do what we do because of who we are, not because of who others are. I didn't refuse to wear a mask just to wake up people who wanted to stay asleep. I refused because of who I am before God. I didnt say anything about putting your family in danger because of chivalry (thats a stretch), but I can tell you my family experienced persecution. If men would understand their role before God, and fulfill it, this world would be a different place. This man on the subway did what his conscience knew was right, and in this evil culture, he will suffer for it. But the evil culture is not his problem. God and his conscience tell him who he is, not them. And it's God they'll both answer to.

The argument is correct because people deserve the consequences of their actions. But the larger take-away is that New York is a failed state and really no different from Monrovia or any other failed state cesspool.

There are only two choices in life. Either stand up for truth and an authentic administration of justice based upon God's Law ... or roll over. Things have gotten extreme. The result being that choices are sometimes hard and difficult.

How does making right choices work in daily life? Well, I will defend my wife, if need be, with my life. My wife knows this. And the result is that the quality of life in the house is upgraded from what it could be, a thing of no consequence. That is, if a person knows that he or she can depend on someone to perform, then life is made good and the home secure.

The necessity to choose between Good and Evil regardless of the personal consequence in today's Woke climes should be a self-evident truth.

Expand full comment

There's a third choice in don't put yourself in a situation where you are compelled to defend the stupid or reckless.

Remember that scene in Die Hard 3 where the bad guy tells John McClain to go into a black neighborhood wearing a giant "I hate (N-word)" placard as part for the ransom? Extreme example, but if someone is doing that and you drive by and see him getting the tar beaten out of him, would you help? Or would you think that guy was an idiot and frankly got what he had coming?

Things are not always black and white. The problem here is that people have made foolish choices to elect morons that free criminals, choose to live in an unsafe neighborhood, and then ride the subway which is notorious for being a rolling mental institution. They don't have to do any of these things but choose to. Then when as predictably as the sun rising things go wrong, people are supposed to step up and defend them knowing they will go to jail for it? No.

Of course I would defend my family to the death if it came down to it. However, it never has come down to that because I make smart choices to keep them and myself out of situations where it's required. If that makes me a coward then I'm proudly a coward.

The alleged third choice is not really a third choice. It is another choice separate from the first binary consideration of having choose between Good and Evil.

True Ted, I think people should behave prudently by evaluating the consequences before they act. Like you state that includes avoiding potentially dangerous situations. But it goes beyond that.

I'm saying (actually Cernovich said it but I agree with him) they should not risk their lives, livelihood, and freedom by defending people who vote for and sanction anarchy. These people that some are demanding others defend, will be all too happy to vote 12-0 to convict them when Bragg or some other Soros prosecutor charges them with assault or manslaughter.

NYC has made it's choice to elect a communist who ran on the platform of letting criminals run free. That's what he said he'd do and they voted for him overwhelmingly. They are brainwashed dolts who think civilization is the normal order of humanity as opposed to a carefully constructed system of rules, enforcement, and common trust. They threw that out the window in a fit of self-righteousness as it made them feel good about themselves (Black Lives Matter!) and now they are paying the price. Now normal decent people are supposed to step up and defend them? Why?

And to those saying it's the Christian thing to do, I get it. But where does the Bible say we are compelled to defend people that intentionally bring harm upon themselves (and risk our own family's well being in the process)? Perhaps it's in there but I have not seen it. I quote Bible verses on here all the time and would *welcome* some scripture that clarifies this subject.

Anyways, I avoid it entirely by *never* putting my family in a location where mental patients roam free. We don't go shopping or to restaurants in bad neighborhoods ever, why would people do that? And if we are at some event and I get a sense that things are starting to get uncomfortable we leave. Period. My family always comes first.

As long as you are following Christ, no one (including myself) has any valid reason to criticize you. You are the leader of your family, ordained by God Himself.

For me, I ignore all that fake Christian crap about following government orders, etc. None of that means anything when the government itself is fully devoted to Satan. I take my orders from God, so I donā€™t give any thought to what anyone else says or believes. Psalm 118:8 is considered to be the ā€˜centerā€™ of Godā€™s Word. I put my full trust in God and every man can go pound sand. ā€œI seek peace, but I am ready and willing to do horrible things to evil people in order to protect my family, or anyone I choose.ā€ ~ me

My comment wasn't intended to be pejorative towards you or anyone else here, and i apologize if it seemed that way or in any way self-righteous. IMHO, the time is coming when we will no longer have many choices remaining, and we might consider what we are prepared to do to "keep what's mine." Further, painting everyone in a city, town or even a neighborhood with the same brush is unreasonable. Do we question a person about their political positions before we help them, or do we help because we believe we should? For those who are religious - and I am not - one might ask what Jesus would do.

Very true in that NYC is huge, but aside from Staten Island most of NYC is very liberal and votes overwhelmingly democrat.

As an example, in 2020, Manhattan, Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens combined, Trump only got 20% of the vote, Manhattan by itself was 12%. In Staten Island on the other hand, Trump got 57%.

Aside from Staten Island, these people want this.

Yes the boroughs were always considered working class, and historically speaking they would vote blue. I understand why and it wasn't necessarily a bad thing..all that changed a few decades ago with the beginning of the culture war.

My extended family are educated business people and despite being New Yorkers, they always voted republican.

Staten Island is largely comprised of Italian Americans who left Brooklyn for larger homes. This ethnic group is family oriented, and to a large extent these days, business owners. It makes sense that they voted for Trump.

But, there is an inordinate amount of attention sacrificed on the technically savvy overly vocal minority that jump up and down shouting, "look at me, look at me" as they virtue signal through there cell phones, etc. .... ad nauseam.

I agree Sunnydaze.

There were conservative people who said that Trump could be the AntiChrist. False. Then there were the QAnons said that Trump was taking back the White House in January 2020 with a 4D chess move or whatever. Also false.

There are too many darn rabbit holes that turn out to be false and Iā€™m not going down there.

If I see hard evidence for a theory I will consider it.

Here is one solid truth: the jab killed too many people, young and old. Trump will not back off of these killer shots. This is immorality at the highest level and there is actual evidence of this. Without safe and ethical healthcare, we are all doomed.

I suspect the cognitive shock and awe is a feature, not a bug, as they say.

They try to overwhelm our bandwidth so we give up or go down to simplistic thinking offered to us by all media ecosystems. I find giving the right hemisphere of my brain, where music and poetry and intuition and faith and fascination with nature and whole gestalt thinking resides, some time to comprehend things offline allows me to make a fuller model of what is actually happening. Chasing every theory online only overwhelms me, and since the most crucial information is hidden from us, we will be overwhelmed and not really have the whole picture.

Apologize....are you serious...for greenlighting what was told to him was going to end the pandemic. It's misguided to keep assuming Trump was the one who championed the vaccines. He was greenlighting everything in order to fix the situation. His team, Fauci and Birx, they are the owners of the fraudulent mess we know of today. You will never see Trump apologize. As the damage of the vax program continues to be exposed, perhaps down the road he will express sadness at the outcome. But apologize for trying to help....nah...not going to happen.

Consider how DeSantis came into prominence so suddenly, out of nowhere. He has essentially the same "profile" as Obama. Ivy league schools, law degree, "perfect" nuclear family, government/political "service," wins an election improbably, has some success, and then all of a sudden is in the national spotlight. He has attacked all the things the establishment doesn't care about (like the culture war issues) while not attacking the one thing they do care about (Ukraine/forever war). I wish I could unsee it.

Thatā€™s not true. Tucker Carlson asked a bunch of candidates for their position on Ukraine & DeSantis was heavily criticized by the establishment for his response.

Donation ending in 2 given to Daniel Penny who CLEARLY has an amazingly brave moral compass. It reminds me of how rare this really is and how treacherous it can be when you self-sacrifice for strangers. Reminded me of the time I was a kid riding my bike with my friend Gayle and her mealy mouthed father. We were jumped by 3 teens trying to steal our bikes- Gayle's dad said, no lie: "Take HER bike, just don't hurt US", pointing to his daughter and himself. I was 12. They took my brand new bike I had received for my birthday just 3 days earlier, and just for good measure, smashed it on top of me before riding away with it. Yeah. So when I see something like this, this incredible moral turpitude of DA Bragg, I know, without a shred of doubt, that he will get his comeuppance.

Funny how Tomatometer works: the more critics like a movie, the worse it is. The critics that give a movie a collective terrible score are usually outstanding.

Nothing much has changed with movie critics. I was a huge movie buff back in the 70's thru the early 2000's and critics & raters were frequently way off the mark even back then.

Maybe Penn State didn't technically mandate, but according to my SO, PSU made life miserable for the unvaxxed, such as weekly testing. My SO works at the University Park campus (main campus). He held out for awhile, then got the jab because he was more frustrated with the hassle of getting tested than he was afraid of the vax. His co-workers told him that Penn State prolonged decisions on exemption requests. While waiting, several gave in and got vaxxed, too. Maybe it wasn't a written policy, but there seems to have been the belief that no vax equaled no job. These colleges and universities may have done a lot of arm-twisting/threatening without technically mandating, but in essence they seem to have accomplished the same thing as mandating.

FYI: on the colleges

I can speak out of frustration. Just because these colleges didnā€™t mandate the shot. They sure didnā€™t make it easy to remain un-jabbed!

The lure to be jabbed to get free of the testing etc. was real and pressured from the AD, coaches and administrators!! If you were a nursing student guess what it was required for their clinicalā€™s!

I had 2 college athletes the last 3 years and it was a complete nightmare to remain free!

They required weekly testing, and masking to be able to compete. Towards the end made it difficult when the free testing stopped on campus had to go off campus and pay for the test ourselves that was negative in order to play! So most students gave in so they wouldnā€™t have to be bothered with it all!

Thankfully we WON and survived! But it wasnā€™t without me educating my girls along the way.

So?!

Parents be aware and have these conversations now! Because none of these institutions are perfect!

Thank you! I have posted similar comments. Just because they didnā€™t mandate the jab doesnā€™t mean they werenā€™t bat$hit covid crazy and discriminating with shameful behavior. We had first hand experience with a Florida college. It was a nightmare and it still turns my stomach.

Hey Jeff, your work each morning is second only to my Bible! I liken your thoughts and updates to that of a world wide sudoku. Youā€™re a rare breed that can see from the 30,000 foot and close up perspectives simultaneously. I probably speak for a number of us when I say that you made the Covid years bearable!

What are your thoughts regarding Elon hiring a WEF muckety muck to run what we were hoping to be a free speech advocate? Iā€™m extremely troubled and have had difficulty finding anything that suggests she isnt towing the WEF pablum right into Twitter. My beer goggles have fallen off and I need a little help with this one please.

May God richly bless you and yours!

RepubliCAN'Ts - hold hearings, get great sound bites, (toss us some red meat), media shrugs, nothing happens to the targets of their ire, wash, rinse, repeat. When is someone actually going to be held accountable?

URSULINE COLLEGE - Ohio - Re No Vax Mandate

BEWARE

True - Ursuline had no vax mandate. But...

Ursuline has a nursing program which requires their students to also be in the hospitals gaining experience. An unvaxed student requested an exemption from the Cleveland Clinic where they were interning. The Cleveland Clinic was granting religious exemptions to employees but defaulted this student's request back to Ursuline for an exemption. As Ursuline had no "official" mandate, the administration had to decide what to do. URSULINE WOULD NOT and DID NOT GRANT this student an exemption.

Yes. My daughter is looking for nursing programs. Most that weā€™ve looked at in the area in and around NJ require the nursing students to take the jab because the hospitals require it under Bidenā€™s mandate. JMU is so far the only university Iā€™ve had contact with that said theyā€™d do their best to accommodate an un-jabbed nursing student.

If anyone can recommend any other nursing programs in the north east that are also accommodating, please let me know. Thanks!

Iā€™m sorry for your daughter. We NEED good nurses with brains. Unfortunately, I have 3 nieces who were going to nursing school who couldnā€™t find a way out of their force vaxx program. They have gone in different directions now. So sad. They wouldā€™ve been great.

Thanks, Sunny. Iā€™m sorry about your nieces. My daughter is a highschool junior so Iā€™m holding on to hope that this will pass before she enrolls.

My bride graduated from Pitt fifty years ago. Pretty sure that's a great place to continue your nursing degree.

Cleveland Clinic is VERY woke. Read anything they write. Anything about a woman and cycles or birthing is ā€œpeopleā€ , not a woman.
