Jeff, you are indefatigable. I honestly don’t know how you manage to consistently and persistently craft thoughtful, witty, and Apocaloptimistic content day after day after day—“for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health.”
Thank you for your dedication to nurturing this community and to keeping us well-informed, and please take good care of yourself and your family 🙏
Anyone that went thru childhood with the name Poindexter on a word document had a bit of rough going, with the unusual inquiry of "Really"? What nationality?
There was a board game in the 60’s called, “Mystery Date” (see the movie The Santa Clause) and one of the boys you could end up with was: Poindexter. No one wanted that fate … 😊
I got my brother and sister to read C&C daily, then my 35 year old brewmaster son, then he got his buddies to start reading Jeff, and so on and so on! ❤️
I found out from a friend after I invited her to hang out and let her know I knew she was anti-jab and so was I. She was surprised I figured it out but happy. And then she shared this apocalypomptimist substack and I never went back. Got her as a good friend now, and this “column” for daily reading!
Agree. No vaxx and no mask. I will not comply. And any business, college, any establishment or person insists, they will never get the time of day from me or my money. No more.
I have one wonderful friend who has been able to lift our friendhship above the nonsense this whole time, even though she is vaxed and masked. She happily calls me her "noncompliant friend." And she hasn't disowned me even though I've told her the truth about masks, etc. Thankful for her, since other friends have drawn the line and are no longer friends.
I like that idea! I may borrow it. I have also thought about painting it on the back window of my car with that removable paint they use for football games and stuff when they want to say go team.
Yes!!!! Spread the msg the old school way and bypass all of the social media platforms. I am also making flyers this weekend. I plan to go around my smaller town (population around 25,000)- and put them up WHEREVER I can. Boots on the ground.
I've bought 4 of J. P. Sears (a great freedom-loving stand up comic) TEES and he also sells BALL CAPS AND HOODIES with wonderful "freedom/liberty/loving the Constitution messages on them. All high quality and reasonably priced. Here's a link to his podcast and the merch store too! https://awakenwithjp.com/
"I have a medical condition that requires my body to be trained by constant exposure to various viruses and bacteria. It's called 'A healthy natural immune system.'"
I just pray my precious granddaughter who is in her senior year at a state school in PA to become a grade school teacher doesn't injure her already beleaguered immune system by complying with WEARING A MASK all day long each and every day she is in a classroom. She developed a nasty bacterial infection on her face from wearing it in 2020!! I WILL NOT COMPLY ever again when it comes to GOVERNMENTAL "MANDATES"!!
I don't believe our students these days are ALIVE enough to really UNDERSTAND what is happening. When the 1970's Vietnam war protests were thriving--I was having babies and was not in college and participating. But I "understood" why the protests were necessary--these students were exercising their Constitutional rights. Do our students today even KNOW that? I hope I'm wrong, Karen!!
You will probably want to plan for the contingency that every as opposed to any business will insist that you bow to any mask mandate. Here in southern California, I expect every woketard business to implement mask requirements.
It's hard. I will order direct and have it delivered or I traveled to Lancaster County where normal people and businesses were. I still do it. The woke supermarkets have not got my business for 3 years. I buy direct from farmers too. It sucks to even have to think and act this way but I am in this fight to the end. Go woke go broke whenever I can.
Do you have a farmers market or a Saturday market you could ask? Or call your local Extension Office. Our area has an annual magazine that lists all farms and vineyards, what they offer and when they’re open to the public, etc.
There are several farms here in North FL that have weekly co-op style packages of seasonal produce and also make deliveries to surrounding towns for convenient pickup. When I lived in Santa Fe, NM there was also a farm co-op of seasonal produce. Many small farms network to provide a larger variety. Many of these farms have websites that describe their methods and missions. Do a search for your area and you will no doubt find local farmers you can support. It's also easy to grow herbs and intermingle some seasonal vegetables in your planter beds. Good luck and have fun!
I have been searching online for local central Florida farms but for some reason I’m coming up empty. I went to the big farmers market but most of it was not organic, very huge vegetables which makes me wonder what they are injecting them with and the ones I bought tasted like exhaust. Maybe from being driven around to different markets? I ended up throwing some stuff away, even the avocados which are my favorite! It was so sad. And now I’m not buying from there ever again. I’ve found some produce stands but they can’t seem to tell me if anything is organic. And the one produce stand closest to me I try and support but every time I end up with produce that is bad. It’s disappointing. I even had the guy pick me out a watermelon that he swore was top notch. When I was going to cut into it one day later I noticed it had a small crack leaking juices and bubbling. I cut into it and it was so gross! Reminded me of the movie Christmas vacation where they overcook the turkey and when they cut into it all the gasses escape and it shrivels down to nothing 😂 We were laughing because the watermelon made the same sounds! It smelled and was rotten.
I started gardening last spring and love it! I’m getting ready for a fall plant and just yesterday found that I accidentally grew a pineapple in my landscaping! I thought it was a decorative pineapple plant that you don’t eat 🤦🏼♀️. I was mowing and I smelled it! It was big and bright yellow and ripe!! A critter had tore into the front part which is probably why I smelled it. I picked it, cut off the critter part and tasted it and wow was that yummy. By far the best pineapple I have ever eaten! I told my husband now I’m gonna be a pineapple farmer too! 😂
I know some farmers have websites. Some are you just have to find them. A group of us went together to buy a steer. There are some co-ops too. We drove around are area looking for farmer's stands. We asked them for any recommendations as well.
I just began something that has been a long time dream -- Just closed on farm land yesterday. Bought it for a young couple who will farm it and pay me rent (and eventually purchase price) in vegetables :). Thinking outside the box!
😖 I sure hope not! I haven’t heard that. 🤮 It’s been talked about in the composting groups I’m in but everyone always says DO NOT use human or animal waste except for cow manure. Apparently some people will do it or other countries will - but the groups I’m in say absolutely don’t do that.
Now…..since you said that….I’m gonna check into it cuz that’s a hard pass for me.
A long time ago I was warned off of organic produce by my farming cousin in North Central Washington State, because the organic farmers they knew didn't follow sanitary practices. I never knew the details. This is more than 20 years ago, before everyone started moving there and taking over the levers of governance. They may have a robust oversight process in place now, since the state government has become more of a presence in everyone's lives there. Both Oregon and California have long had very strict codes backed by agency oversight about what is/is not okay in Organic farming. I don't like so much state authority, not sure it's trustworthy anymore, but for a long time I trusted the organic produce from both states.
As I wrote about on my stack with the poem image, I have a new medical group scheduled to evaluate me mid-September, but if they require masks, I won't go!
Yeah. But they got nothing on the loons in chester county. Especially Downingtown area. I see them on with their n95 masks now. I hope they're getting all their boosters and shots. Yeah that's mean but I am done with them. No sympathy.
You and I should get together in Lancaster before winter hits--would love to share with a kindred spirit, Annie. Let me know if you're interested! I can send you my e-mail address!
One of our state senators in Arizona sent out a reminder that businesses by law do not have to enforce mask mandates, children under 18 cannot be masked in schools without their parent/guardian's consent and no government building is allowed to force people to mask. She ended it by saying if you go to a store and they want you to mask, leave and choose a different store. Oh, and the Governor's power to call a state of emergency only last 120 days, then the legislature has to approve it. (Personally, I would have cut that down to 30 days.)
True, but if she has to push it through the legislature first, there will hopefully be some pushback. There has to be a darned good reason for me to put a mask on (needing medical care comes to mind) and I am not going to do it to buy groceries or go to the ballet.
I boycotted Trader Joe’s, whose products I dearly love, for almost 9 months while they imposed this idiotic policy in Sarasota. I also wrote corporate a letter telling them how much I’d spent at the store over the years (it was a substantial amount), and did not return until it was lifted. When I did return I made sure the guys there new why I had not come in.
If you haven't already, you should tune in to The Highwire episode yesterday and watch Jeffrey Jaxsen's full report. There's not a better reporter alive.
I think you should publish that Janice.. in book, flyer, card form. Maybe even have a unvaxed pilot fly over with a banner! I’ll be making my own to scatter around :) God bless you.
I texted it to my mom already! It was too good to wait for permission to share.😉
I have FB but don't go there any longer. I have Twitter, too, and although I followed Trump last night, I'm mostly there so I can see Tucker. I've found his website though so if I just watch on his website I don't even have to go to Twitter. This is the only social media I'm on, I think maybe because I've found my tribe here.
Speaking of, did you see video of NBC asking RFKJr where he gets his news? He says he's an "eclectic" news gatherer (I like that), doesn't trust any mainstream channels, and gets most of it from SubStack. The NBC interviewer didn't agree with his assessment of mainstream media! 🤣
I recently agreed, as a favour, to attend a meeting at a local Aged Care facility to help the management with some planning issues, which also involved my driving nearly an hour in each direction to attend a 1 hour meeting during a busy working day. When the meeting invitation arrived it stated: “Kindly arrive 15 minutes before your meeting time so that we can administer a RAT test”. I declined the meeting invitation - but being a sucker, I did agree to meet with these people at a different (and much more convenient) location
It is refreshing that at least this time there are sane voices like his speaking up. I am praying we can put a stop to it before it even starts. I would feel better if I lived in your state where masking is schools is now illegal and the districts know not to defy DeSantis. Ours put in a weak budget provision and Charleston County violated it immediately and then supplemented the funds with federal dollars. It is a big help that Florida is leading with such a firm hand. It gives our states the needed boost of courage.
oh my gosh, so you feel my pain then?! It's so frustrating. We worked so hard on the last board elections only to get completely burned on the school superintendent. I can't believe they did that to us. One of Panorama's top 5 choices and he was out on sick leave for a year and Racine is a failing district - if they could've made a worse choice, I can't think of one. I'm just hoping an d praying the masks don't come back. We will be fighting them again if they do. And pushing the AG to get involved again.
Here's another NoVa mom who is amazed by all these people I see outdoors, walking along in the fresh air, MASKED, with not a soul within a thousand feet. You're basically telling the government they can do ANYTHING to you and you will comply.
I can’t stand it. All the medical facilities up here still mask religiously - though not mandated for patients....keep the fear going...I was told by the tech at WRA I had to put a mask on because we’d be in close contact(mammogram)....I asked -even though they don’t work? She said yes - so I casually dug in my purse for a while ....to find my surgical mask with DOESN’T STOP VIRUSES written on in in sharpie....perched that on the end of my nose.......I didn’t want her to completely destroy my boobs....;)
NoVa mom, while rebelling against crazy, harmful medical practices, please investigate thermography for breast exams and stop the harmful mammograms. We’ve had several discussions about that here on C&C. There are so many harmful and potentially dangerous procedures pushed on us by the medical establishment - the masks and vax are the crazy things that have started an awakening to the fact that our health and well being are really not their top priority…it’s all about the $$$..
Vintage ads -- why we should have learned not to trust the corporations years ago. All the excellent uses of Lead in the nursery! Douching with Lysol to save the marriage! DDT is Good For Me! These are for real.
never get a mammogram. they are radiation, and squeezing your breasts that hard does them no good, and if you have cancer, squeezes the cells out to spread. Get a thermograph, and an ultrasound if you want. Note. Insurance will NOT pay for an ultrasound unless you have a mammogram first. No mammograms ever again for my wife, who has/had stage 2 breast cancer. So far I have convinced 2 other women to cancel appointments
I can't remember how much radiation exposure one mammogram is now, but I was flabbergasted when I found out. It's equivalent to something like 25 chest x-rays! Never again!
Not correct. The amount of radiation from a standard 4 view mammogram is less than the amount of radiation from 1 chest xray.
"Modern machines use low radiation doses to get breast x-rays that are high in image quality. On average the total dose for a typical mammogram with 2 views of each breast is about 0.4 millisieverts, or mSv.Jan 2022
Tim you are right. I’m beginning to learn that cancer is primarily a metabolic disorder, not gene-based, although there are genetic propensities for some types of cancer. Metabolic therapy for cancer is a relatively new field and very exciting. The slash/burn/poison model of cancer care has not resulted in significant advances in cancer survival but the costs of this approach are astronomical.
Freebird and Tim - yes - the more I pull the thread - the more unraveling....but I sadly do not have 24hr a day to read...currently in ER with my daughter
We are GF/DF, soy free , eat/cook naturally. I agree they are poisoning us with vx (no cvd vx for any of us!!!) - no more vx period. Going back to basics for sure
I’m worried they are going to sneak the mRNA into our meats and eventually vegetables. Unless the mandatory labeling law is passed (apparently supported by the USCattlemens Association ) we won’t know what we’re eating.
We are in this area too... I just cannot interact with them at all. I take the Kindergarten approach: "If I can't be nice, I just don't be anything to them at all." I work to avoid them everywhere I go.
Some of us sane moms gaggled together during the Vid school wars and now we are as tight as you can get. And we still had a rough go even though we are private school moms because the Alexandrians were so determined to keep the compliance in place. We thought the school would come unglued. We are ready to activate again, for sure. This time we are armed with the facts. 😉 We can loop you in too.
they closed for a few weeks - opened june 2020. i started attending because of their no mask, no vax stance, i stayed because Pastor Gary Hamrick is fantastic - his Christian stance on our world is fortifying. if you have abit of time, here is a recent sermon on the trans isssue. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkTXj5gI5Kc&t=2196s
Wonderful! Another no mask no vax church -- yay. Thanks for the link. And good for them for only closing for a moment! That's what we did -- laid low for 5 weeks to flatten the curve. Then May 3 flew out to CA to pick up grand daughter, brought in grand son from NJ, and started partying for the rest of the summer with folks in WV, NC and ME who acted like nothing was going on out of the ordinary :)
i m in nova, too. i feel like im surrounded by people who are eagerly waiting for their masters to tell them to mask and shelter-in-place. they are almost giddy with excitement... hope im wrong, but i think nova (fairfax) will instill mask requirements and lock themselves up., asap
Runge ISD, south of San Antonio has closed the school for a week because 9 teachers (out of 43) "tested positive". Of course, the news said "23% of teachers" to make it sound much worse. 195 students in the district.
Yesterday I had to visit a county office. Though no signs requiring masks no longer existed, the lady helping me was wearing a mask AND gloves! In Florida no less
Today I was thinking about the metal ice cube tray w/the pull back handle. I know that isn't what you are speaking of as in good old days, but it is popped into my head for no reason. Then I remembered the crank salt ice cream makers and how that was such a huge treat to have friends over. Everyone chattering until the ice cream was served up then it was silence w/some slurping. Peach was always my favorite. That memory did pop in from the peaches I need to use up.
It's been many years since we made ice cream. I often made peach and my brother really liked it. He's estranged himself from me; maybe he'd reconcile over peach ice cream. Nah, don't think so. I've done everything I can to be at peace with him (Romans 12:18). Now the ball (or peach?) is in his court. 🍑
They keep proving my thesis correct: they got rid of the mafia to eliminate the competition. Then, turned the weapons they used against the mafia against us. (Racketeering charges for Trump?! Seriously, racketeering? They love to troll people with their symbology.) Drug trafficking, human trafficking, sex trafficking...they're involved in all of them...they even used the mafia's protection shakedown in their own way as we're seeing with Musk. "Nice little co. you've got there..."
Jeff, you continue to be amazing. Get well quickly!
Is there any possibility you could supply a little "non-compliance" handout for those of us who will REFUSE in all circumstances to mask up? How about a little something to hand to the receptionist, office manager, store manager, school principal that basically says they have NO legal leg to stand on to require a mask (with some precedent rulings cited), no medical data to back up their masking claims, and that THEY are ripe for a lawsuit if they push their luck? That in the case of a medical office, since if THEY require me to LEAVE their office because I refuse to mask up, no I will NOT pay their ridiculous "cancellation fee" for my appointment, because they are the ones who broke their commitment to the appointment by making me leave, not the other way around? Let's put them on the defensive -- on the hot-seat -- and have the legaleese to back it up. Whattaya say?!
Yes please! Jeff this is exactly what we need to have handy - a handout to put them on notice!!! I fear the mandates (at least concerning masks) are coming back. I want to hand them something instead of just walking out!
All they were missing was Joe Biden reading a book to school children prior to the event. I guess they were afraid to put Joe in a classroom with a bunch of little kids. Probably were concerned that he'd go off script.
Jeff, you are indefatigable. I honestly don’t know how you manage to consistently and persistently craft thoughtful, witty, and Apocaloptimistic content day after day after day—“for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health.”
Thank you for your dedication to nurturing this community and to keeping us well-informed, and please take good care of yourself and your family 🙏
"Apocaloptimistic": BOOM. Gonna steal that one!
Coincidentally, I used it in this blurb about Jeff and included the meme where I first learned it (wish I could take credit for it myself!):

Mary Poindexter McLaughlin also has an exquisite piece on the term:

I remember Poindexter. 😂
The "geek"!
😆
I can't even pronounce it! But, I do love it!!!!
what a wonderful neologism
Thought you'd like that 😁 I consider you the quintessential Apocaloptimist—hence my application of it to you in this blurb from last year:
• https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/i/76075050/jeff-childers
I'm sure there's some chatgpt somewhere in there.... 🤣
But I agree, Jeff doesn't stop, he's a man on a mission and nothing stops him.
I got my brother and sister to read C&C daily, then my 35 year old brewmaster son, then he got his buddies to start reading Jeff, and so on and so on! ❤️
I found out from a friend after I invited her to hang out and let her know I knew she was anti-jab and so was I. She was surprised I figured it out but happy.

"Jeff, you are indefatigable". That's easy for you to say! :P
I like “wokecompetence” too.
I second this!!
Apocaloptimistic! I love it!
Perfectly said Margaret Anna Alice! I love your posts as well.
🙏🤗
I second that MAA!
Amen
One of these is not like the other:
“Praise the Lord!
For it is good to sing praises to our God;
For it is pleasant and praise is becoming.
The Lord builds up Jerusalem;
He gathers the outcasts of Israel.
He heals the brokenhearted
And binds up their wounds.
He counts the number of the stars;
He gives names to all of them.
Great is our Lord and abundant in strength;
His understanding is infinite.
The Lord supports the afflicted;
He brings down the wicked to the ground.”
— Psalm 147:1-6 NASB1995

Agree. No vaxx and no mask. I will not comply. And any business, college, any establishment or person insists, they will never get the time of day from me or my money. No more.
We ought to get C & C Army gear that says..."No 😷s & No V🪓s❣️" 👍🤣
Oh I painted a BIG sign that says DO NOT COMPLY and stuck it in my yard! Great convo starter
I have a t shirt that says I WILL NOT COMPLY. I wore it in public regularly during BS round one 😊 Time to pull it out again!
I have one wonderful friend who has been able to lift our friendhship above the nonsense this whole time, even though she is vaxed and masked. She happily calls me her "noncompliant friend." And she hasn't disowned me even though I've told her the truth about masks, etc. Thankful for her, since other friends have drawn the line and are no longer friends.
What a concept! Friendship that doesn't demand lockstep agreement , and that is deeper and stronger than differences.
The healthy-minded "compliant" friend is a TRUE friend. The "others" are just that!!
I like that idea! I may borrow it. I have also thought about painting it on the back window of my car with that removable paint they use for football games and stuff when they want to say go team.
Yes!!!! Spread the msg the old school way and bypass all of the social media platforms. I am also making flyers this weekend. I plan to go around my smaller town (population around 25,000)- and put them up WHEREVER I can. Boots on the ground.
I am SICK of feeling helpless and at least have to try something. FEAR has driven the entire scam and way too many are silent.
Kudos!!
Awesome 👍
ETSY is full of GREAT t-shirts that say DO NOT COMPLY and various other related sayings. I will wear mine PROUDLY every time I am in the public
They also have "My Body My Choice " and "Just Say No" t-shirts with pic of hypo needle. I want a T shirt that says "No Dicks in Sports for Chicks"
Clever play on words for that last T shirt!!

It is clever. 😄
Really was just trying to slip past the facebook filter. :) But I like the CC Army gear idea!
YES!!
Here's my exemption:
"I have a medical condition that requires my body to be trained by constant exposure to various viruses and bacteria. It's called 'A healthy natural immune system.'"
Might be too "unscientific " for them. Lol.😉
I just pray my precious granddaughter who is in her senior year at a state school in PA to become a grade school teacher doesn't injure her already beleaguered immune system by complying with WEARING A MASK all day long each and every day she is in a classroom. She developed a nasty bacterial infection on her face from wearing it in 2020!! I WILL NOT COMPLY ever again when it comes to GOVERNMENTAL "MANDATES"!!
Students need to protest.
I don't believe our students these days are ALIVE enough to really UNDERSTAND what is happening.

But I "understood" why the protests were necessary--these students were exercising their Constitutional rights. Do our students today even KNOW that? I hope I'm wrong, Karen!!
You can opt out. File an exemption. I don't think the kids will be quick to put them on this time. If need be virtual school.
You will probably want to plan for the contingency that every as opposed to any business will insist that you bow to any mask mandate. Here in southern California, I expect every woketard business to implement mask requirements.

Agree. Add to the fact it is cheaper and not being surrounded by covidians- priceless. 😄
👌🏻
I’m still trying to figure out how to buy direct from farmers and to find out if they are organic.
Do you have a farmers market or a Saturday market you could ask? Or call your local Extension Office. Our area has an annual magazine that lists all farms and vineyards, what they offer and when they’re open to the public, etc.
Did the farmers market. Wasn’t impressed. I never heard of an extension office. I’ll look into that. Thanks!

Thank you!! I found a farm close by us! 🙌 🙌
Great link! Just found some new farmers in WI!
Let me know if you figure that out!
Have you tried to search for ‘Community Supported Agriculture’ or CSA organic near me?
No. Thank you! I kept wondering what verbiage to use to elicit what I’m looking for. I will try this. 😊
I know some farmers have websites. Some are you just have to find them. A group of us went together to buy a steer. There are some co-ops too. We drove around are area looking for farmer's stands. We asked them for any recommendations as well.

That’s what I’ve been trying to find. Local farmer websites but idk if I’m putting in wrong descriptions or what. 😏
Okay, so I read that when something is certified’organic’ that means they’ve used human sewage in the production.
Is that a gross lie?
What does it mean?
😖 I sure hope not! I haven’t heard that. 🤮 It’s been talked about in the composting groups I’m in but everyone always says DO NOT use human or animal waste except for cow manure. Apparently some people will do it or other countries will - but the groups I’m in say absolutely don’t do that.

Yeah. But they got nothing on the loons in chester county. Especially Downingtown area. I see them on with their n95 masks now. I hope they're getting all their boosters and shots. Yeah that's mean but I am done with them. No sympathy.
You and I should get together in Lancaster before winter hits--would love to share with a kindred spirit, Annie. Let me know if you're interested! I can send you my e-mail address!
I am in Montgomery. They are all over the place here as well. Big uptick in masking since the news started shrieking a couple weeks ago.
One of our state senators in Arizona sent out a reminder that businesses by law do not have to enforce mask mandates, children under 18 cannot be masked in schools without their parent/guardian's consent and no government building is allowed to force people to mask. She ended it by saying if you go to a store and they want you to mask, leave and choose a different store. Oh, and the Governor's power to call a state of emergency only last 120 days, then the legislature has to approve it. (Personally, I would have cut that down to 30 days.)
Good luck with corrupt Katie Hobbs...worse than Ducey!
True, but if she has to push it through the legislature first, there will hopefully be some pushback. There has to be a darned good reason for me to put a mask on (needing medical care comes to mind) and I am not going to do it to buy groceries or go to the ballet.
I boycotted Trader Joe’s, whose products I dearly love, for almost 9 months while they imposed this idiotic policy in Sarasota. I also wrote corporate a letter telling them how much I’d spent at the store over the years (it was a substantial amount), and did not return until it was lifted. When I did return I made sure the guys there new why I had not come in.

This Bizzarro Medical fascination with Vaccination is causing humanity decimation.
As face masking starves the lungs and brain from Ass-Fix-iations across the nations.
Move along.....nothin to see here folks.........sigh.......
If you haven't already, you should tune in to The Highwire episode yesterday and watch Jeffrey Jaxsen's full report. There's not a better reporter alive.
Jaxsen and Bigtree are top of the list for accurate information!
✔️
It's on my to do list for today.
Many times in my life I've been guilty of Ass-Fix-iating innocent bystanders 😛
Takes a Hellva person to admit that on a public forum.......
Later Jay
. . . and the people of C&C-ville's hearts were not inflamed by three sizes that day.
Oh my! U win the day award
I think you should publish that Janice.. in book, flyer, card form. Maybe even have a unvaxed pilot fly over with a banner! I’ll be making my own to scatter around :) God bless you.
There’s an image of it on my stack, FYI.
Ah just saw this after I asked about using your Dr Seuss ditty. Grabbed the image and subscribed to your stack!
Surely ONE is NOT like the OTHER, however.... BOTH ARE TRUE!!!
LORD, we NEED you....
every hour, every moment, every breath,
WE NEED YOU!!!
So like Jeff just proved to us, it’s cold season, not covid season! Kids are back in school, duh.
There’s an image of it on my stack, FYI.
Janice, I love, love your clever Dr. Seuss poem! Perfect!
I have found my people. :D
beautiful
Can we repost this elsewhere, while giving you credit?
Sure, you can find an image of it on my stack or on my Facebook @Blessed is the Nation. Thanks for asking!
May I steal your lovely poem? I'll give you credit.
I don't think it's stealing. :) There's an image on my stack. Blessed is the Nation is one of my FB pages, FYI.
I texted it to my mom already! It was too good to wait for permission to share.😉
I have FB but don't go there any longer. I have Twitter, too, and although I followed Trump last night, I'm mostly there so I can see Tucker. I've found his website though so if I just watch on his website I don't even have to go to Twitter. This is the only social media I'm on, I think maybe because I've found my tribe here.
Speaking of, did you see video of NBC asking RFKJr where he gets his news? He says he's an "eclectic" news gatherer (I like that), doesn't trust any mainstream channels, and gets most of it from SubStack. The NBC interviewer didn't agree with his assessment of mainstream media! 🤣
Janice this is excellent! May I use it, and if yes, how can I give you credit?
Looks like you found my newsletter with the image. Welcome. :) Blessed is the Nation is one of my FB pages, FYI.
I recently agreed, as a favour, to attend a meeting at a local Aged Care facility to help the management with some planning issues, which also involved my driving nearly an hour in each direction to attend a 1 hour meeting during a busy working day. When the meeting invitation arrived it stated: “Kindly arrive 15 minutes before your meeting time so that we can administer a RAT test”. I declined the meeting invitation - but being a sucker, I did agree to meet with these people at a different (and much more convenient) location
What is a RAT test?
Except in this case THEY would be sticking the ghastly thing up my nose 😳
I had 13 of those ghastly things! Brain swabs.
Sorry, Australian term for a home-administered PCR Covid test. It stands for Rapid Antigen Test
I like Dr. Joe Ladapo's idea to refuse to participate in masking.
Masks don't stop nano-scale virus particles, but are useful for identifying covidiots.
It is refreshing that at least this time there are sane voices like his speaking up. I am praying we can put a stop to it before it even starts. I would feel better if I lived in your state where masking is schools is now illegal and the districts know not to defy DeSantis. Ours put in a weak budget provision and Charleston County violated it immediately and then supplemented the funds with federal dollars. It is a big help that Florida is leading with such a firm hand. It gives our states the needed boost of courage.
I’m in Charleston county too, and they could definitely do better! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
oh my gosh, so you feel my pain then?! It's so frustrating. We worked so hard on the last board elections only to get completely burned on the school superintendent. I can't believe they did that to us. One of Panorama's top 5 choices and he was out on sick leave for a year and Racine is a failing district - if they could've made a worse choice, I can't think of one. I'm just hoping an d praying the masks don't come back. We will be fighting them again if they do. And pushing the AG to get involved again.
I want to ask them (there still are many here in northern VA) - how in the world did you survive in the years prior to 2020 without your MaSk ???!?!?
Here's another NoVa mom who is amazed by all these people I see outdoors, walking along in the fresh air, MASKED, with not a soul within a thousand feet. You're basically telling the government they can do ANYTHING to you and you will comply.
I can’t stand it. All the medical facilities up here still mask religiously - though not mandated for patients....keep the fear going...I was told by the tech at WRA I had to put a mask on because we’d be in close contact(mammogram)....I asked -even though they don’t work? She said yes - so I casually dug in my purse for a while ....to find my surgical mask with DOESN’T STOP VIRUSES written on in in sharpie....perched that on the end of my nose.......I didn’t want her to completely destroy my boobs....;)
We need sanity - soon!!!!
NoVa mom, while rebelling against crazy, harmful medical practices, please investigate thermography for breast exams and stop the harmful mammograms. We’ve had several discussions about that here on C&C. There are so many harmful and potentially dangerous procedures pushed on us by the medical establishment - the masks and vax are the crazy things that have started an awakening to the fact that our health and well being are really not their top priority…it’s all about the $$$..
Vintage ads -- why we should have learned not to trust the corporations years ago. All the excellent uses of Lead in the nursery! Douching with Lysol to save the marriage! DDT is Good For Me! These are for real.

Well, don't that beat all? Pays to wait about a decade when new items come available!
never get a mammogram. they are radiation, and squeezing your breasts that hard does them no good, and if you have cancer, squeezes the cells out to spread. Get a thermograph, and an ultrasound if you want. Note. Insurance will NOT pay for an ultrasound unless you have a mammogram first. No mammograms ever again for my wife, who has/had stage 2 breast cancer. So far I have convinced 2 other women to cancel appointments
I can't remember how much radiation exposure one mammogram is now, but I was flabbergasted when I found out. It's equivalent to something like 25 chest x-rays! Never again!
Not correct. The amount of radiation from a standard 4 view mammogram is less than the amount of radiation from 1 chest xray.
"Modern machines use low radiation doses to get breast x-rays that are high in image quality. On average the total dose for a typical mammogram with 2 views of each breast is about 0.4 millisieverts, or mSv.Jan 2022
NoVA,
Read up on why you should no longer get mammograms. They do more harm than good. And no more pap-smears or colonoscopies.

Tim you are right. I’m beginning to learn that cancer is primarily a metabolic disorder, not gene-based, although there are genetic propensities for some types of cancer. Metabolic therapy for cancer is a relatively new field and very exciting. The slash/burn/poison model of cancer care has not resulted in significant advances in cancer survival but the costs of this approach are astronomical.
Freebird and Tim - yes - the more I pull the thread - the more unraveling....but I sadly do not have 24hr a day to read...currently in ER with my daughter
We are GF/DF, soy free , eat/cook naturally. I agree they are poisoning us with vx (no cvd vx for any of us!!!) - no more vx period. Going back to basics for sure
I’m worried they are going to sneak the mRNA into our meats and eventually vegetables. Unless the mandatory labeling law is passed (apparently supported by the USCattlemens Association ) we won’t know what we’re eating.
We are in this area too... I just cannot interact with them at all. I take the Kindergarten approach: "If I can't be nice, I just don't be anything to them at all." I work to avoid them everywhere I go.
Some of us sane moms gaggled together during the Vid school wars and now we are as tight as you can get. And we still had a rough go even though we are private school moms because the Alexandrians were so determined to keep the compliance in place. We thought the school would come unglued. We are ready to activate again, for sure. This time we are armed with the facts. 😉 We can loop you in too.
Perhaps the sane NoVAs could chat together....:)
And Md suburb folks too?
Actually, I often came to NoVA to grocery shop from MD since you guys had no mask mandates when MD still did. I grew up in NoVA.
They truly believe that THIS virus is infinitely more deadly than any other in history.
It might be, but only if you have a very specific genetic condition . . . That you did NOT inherit.
🤣🤣🤣
i get my sanity from cornerstone chapel in leesburg - its worth the drive. https://cornerstonechapel.net/
did they stay open during the plandemic?
they closed for a few weeks - opened june 2020. i started attending because of their no mask, no vax stance, i stayed because Pastor Gary Hamrick is fantastic - his Christian stance on our world is fortifying. if you have abit of time, here is a recent sermon on the trans isssue. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkTXj5gI5Kc&t=2196s
Wonderful! Another no mask no vax church -- yay. Thanks for the link. And good for them for only closing for a moment! That's what we did -- laid low for 5 weeks to flatten the curve. Then May 3 flew out to CA to pick up grand daughter, brought in grand son from NJ, and started partying for the rest of the summer with folks in WV, NC and ME who acted like nothing was going on out of the ordinary :)
Is that our lees burg? Central Florida?
I absolutely LOVE that church! I watch the Sunday sermons live on their Facebook page.
i m in nova, too. i feel like im surrounded by people who are eagerly waiting for their masters to tell them to mask and shelter-in-place. they are almost giddy with excitement... hope im wrong, but i think nova (fairfax) will instill mask requirements and lock themselves up., asap
I certainly hope not. What happened to people's brains?
It’s so bizarre. I can’t imagine being like that 😕
Agree. You are advertising your submission, compliance and mental illness.

It looks like the masked maniacs are so brain damaged as they still can't see the forest through the trees......
Done for WA reps!🤷🏻♀️
Sent to the worse than worthless Albany, NY contingent, and the link to friends.
Yes, my reps are in the same category.
Done !! Everyone please sign this !!
I received it from them the other day and sent it out, I hope everyone here does as well!!
Running where didnyou send it?
They automatically populate the “send to” with the relevant lawmakers contact information according to the address you provide.
Done!
Ah! So nice to know my representatives understand the futility of masks. No need for the petition. Small blessings in Texas!
Runge ISD, south of San Antonio has closed the school for a week because 9 teachers (out of 43) "tested positive". Of course, the news said "23% of teachers" to make it sound much worse. 195 students in the district.
Submitted to AZ reps.
Signed for IA

Mask of shame
So true !! Sadly ,they are STILL walking among us .
Odds are many won't be forever, unfortunately. Those that love the jab, will undoubtedly be killed off first.
I believe it will ramp up soon, thus the emergence of this new scariant. It's all cover for the "vaxidents".
"THE RETURN OF THE MEDI" Coming this fall to a theater near you.
Identifying sheep is the only function of masks.
Yesterday I had to visit a county office. Though no signs requiring masks no longer existed, the lady helping me was wearing a mask AND gloves! In Florida no less
The only darn use for them, I tell ya! 😆
I remember the olden days when hiring illegal aliens was, you know, illegal.
But I guess that was when men were men and women were women.
So long ago....
They identify as legal so it’s ok 😑🙄
Many are using stolen SSN. But for some reason that is not considered identity theft.
Yup exactly.
There really were some good old days.
Today I was thinking about the metal ice cube tray w/the pull back handle. I know that isn't what you are speaking of as in good old days, but it is popped into my head for no reason. Then I remembered the crank salt ice cream makers and how that was such a huge treat to have friends over. Everyone chattering until the ice cream was served up then it was silence w/some slurping. Peach was always my favorite. That memory did pop in from the peaches I need to use up.
It's been many years since we made ice cream. I often made peach and my brother really liked it. He's estranged himself from me; maybe he'd reconcile over peach ice cream. Nah, don't think so. I've done everything I can to be at peace with him (Romans 12:18). Now the ball (or peach?) is in his court. 🍑
Me too. My dad made the best peach ice cream from our relatives in Georgia’s peach trees. Yummm
Yeah like 2017, a lifetime ago in dog years.
I worked for a defense contractor in the mid-80s. We would have been shut down in a heartbeat for hiring illegals.
Yeah, like a whole 3 years ago LOL.
Guess Garland hasn't read the I9 LAWS? Must have missed that one.
And I'm certain Space X is required to use e-Verify, right? I mean...did Grandma Garland suspend I9 laws and we didn't hear about it?
Silly, following the law is for the OTHER people 😑🙄
“The DOJ’s lawsuit accused SpaceX of hiring American citizens and not hiring “refugees” and “asylum seekers.””
They’re making (more like continuing to make) a joke of our laws, which are now little more than paper-thin covers for mafia-style shakedowns.
They keep proving my thesis correct: they got rid of the mafia to eliminate the competition. Then, turned the weapons they used against the mafia against us. (Racketeering charges for Trump?! Seriously, racketeering? They love to troll people with their symbology.) Drug trafficking, human trafficking, sex trafficking...they're involved in all of them...they even used the mafia's protection shakedown in their own way as we're seeing with Musk. "Nice little co. you've got there..."
I've been saying this for years... mafioso tactics are simple, highly effective and truly evil.
RU,
It’s the CIA running all the illegal covert ops. The FBI covers it up for them.
We need to remove ALL federal agencies except for social security and Medicare. We don’t need the rest. We could save the NYS of money.
Why even bother with making laws? Let each prosecutor do as he or she pleases! Isn’t that anarchy or tyranny? I know it’s not a republic or democracy
Jeff, you continue to be amazing. Get well quickly!
Is there any possibility you could supply a little "non-compliance" handout for those of us who will REFUSE in all circumstances to mask up? How about a little something to hand to the receptionist, office manager, store manager, school principal that basically says they have NO legal leg to stand on to require a mask (with some precedent rulings cited), no medical data to back up their masking claims, and that THEY are ripe for a lawsuit if they push their luck? That in the case of a medical office, since if THEY require me to LEAVE their office because I refuse to mask up, no I will NOT pay their ridiculous "cancellation fee" for my appointment, because they are the ones who broke their commitment to the appointment by making me leave, not the other way around? Let's put them on the defensive -- on the hot-seat -- and have the legaleese to back it up. Whattaya say?!
GREAT idea!! I would pay for it! Maybe as a pdf and we could print them out. In this hell hole blue state I have a feeling I will be needing some 😭
I would pay for this too! It would be so valuable!
Yes please! Jeff this is exactly what we need to have handy - a handout to put them on notice!!! I fear the mandates (at least concerning masks) are coming back. I want to hand them something instead of just walking out!
I want lawsuits. At least credible threats of them. Businesses and schools will only stop if they’re afraid of something happening to them.
I'd be up for a fight, but my bank account would not be. :-( I'm hoping a well-worded THREAT will put them in their place.
We need help from private attorneys and AGs.
I agree and made a similar request. We need to be prepared. Forewarned is forearmed! We’ll not be caught unprepared like last time!
Just go to Peggy Hall's site or page or whatever, "The Healthy American". She has TONS of printable resources.
My niece posted something on Facebook yesterday. Short sweet, sorta like this...
Mask mandates
Lockdowns
Vaccines
Etc
Mandates are not the law
It was on one of the quick story things you can’t even copy paste, I’ll see if she can send via text.

All they were missing was Joe Biden reading a book to school children prior to the event. I guess they were afraid to put Joe in a classroom with a bunch of little kids. Probably were concerned that he'd go off script.
Plus, there’s the problem with Bob Peters actually being able to read.
