Cover image: Autumn on the Wissahickon (1864). Thomas Moran (1837-1926) was an English-born artist who became one of the greatest painters of the Hudson River School. While some of his paintings were of the eastern US, the bulk of his work had as its subject matter the Rocky Mountains and the Far West.

Connecting Things – Konnech Election Compromise, CCP Infiltration, CEO Arrest, True The Vote and Recent Deep State Misinformation Efforts
A familiar pattern: (1) Write a requested ‘conspiracy theory’ hit piece. (2) Immediately watch the reality of the next event confirm the ‘conspiracy theory’. (3) Attempt to recover credibility after the disinfecting sunlight exposes the motive of the effort. This is what ideological narrative engineers do in their relationships with the corrupt system operators within government.
The FBI takes the information provided by True The Vote, assembles the evidence that supports the claims by the voting integrity watchdog, then takes the information up to the DC FBI leadership and almost immediately the switch is triggered. True The Vote now becomes the target of the political FBI. We have watched this outline numerous times, only this example is brutally obvious.
So, we have Chinese Communist Party (CCP) infiltration -via software exploitation- into U.S. election systems and databases. That’s the bottom line.

Reinforcements for the CIA Democrats in the 2022 elections: Part one
Some two dozen Democratic candidates for Congress, running as challengers to Republican incumbents or as would-be successors to retiring Democratic incumbents, are drawn from the military-intelligence apparatus. This phenomenon, which the WSWS first analyzed and exposed in 2018 in our much-read series “The CIA Democrats,” is becoming an increasingly important factor in American official politics.
Eleven military-intelligence candidates were elected in 2018 as part of the Democratic takeover of control in the House of Representatives. Their numbers increased by one in 2020, as one of the 11 lost his bid for reelection, but two new military-intelligence Democrats were elected. This year, the size of the “caucus” could nearly double, even in an election in which the Democratic Party as a whole may well lose ground.
The influx of military-intelligence operatives into the ranks of the Democratic Party in Congress is now an ongoing political trend. There were 30 such candidates nominated by the Democrats in 2018, 11 of whom won. There were 35 such candidates in 2020, including the 11 incumbents, and 12 won, a slight increase despite the election being a poor one for the Democrats. In 2022, the total number of such candidates stands at 34: in addition to 11 incumbents, there are 23 more candidates drawn from the CIA, Pentagon and State Department.

Putin concludes that the sabotage was inflicted by Ukrainian Special Forces, which is on par with Kiev’s consistent and recent usage of terrorist tactics, to include the provocation and shelling on the Zaporozhizhia Nuclear Power Plant.
Putin goes on to elaborate on other terrorist attacks carried out by the Kiev regime and declared that such actions will no longer continue to be met without retaliation.
The Polls are Lying: Dems in Deep Trouble
But, even at that, the polls during this cycle are likely the worst we’ve ever seen and the fault lies more with the administration than the polling industry. There is simply no way to accurately capture voting percentages when broad swaths of the country are hiding their views.
The alignment of the Democrat media, academia, the leftist government bureaucracy, social media, and entertainment industry into a cultural Death Star aimed at Republicans birthed the concept of the “shy” voters. In 2016, this phenomenon helped to explain how Republicans, to include President Trump, overperformed their polls.
But a lot has changed since 2016. Where voters might have once had concerns about how they would be perceived, they now know that the government and its cultural flying monkey minions view them as the enemy. The scales have fallen from their eyes. So, the shy voter has been replaced by the smart voter who has seen far too much evidence that the government is out to get him, or at least to monitor and silence him.
The Media’s ‘Far-Right’ Obsession
In our study, we conducted data analysis of millions of news and opinion articles from popular U.S. and U.K. news media outlets and quantified the media’s use of extreme qualifiers such as “ultra,” “extreme,” or “far” when speaking about right and left political orientation. That is, we counted the number of times different news outlets mentioned terms such as “far-right,” “far-left,” “radical right,” “radical left,” “right-wing extremism,” “left-wing extremism,” etc. Overall, we found that most mainstream news-media outlets mention the far right much more often than the far left.

Why Trump Must Run
The response to the raid ranged from incredulity and disgust from the voting public to a kind of mollusk-like belching from the current GOP leadership. Evidently, there is somebody named “DeSantis,” who is, believe it or not, the governor of Florida, where Mar-a-Lago is located. The DoJ, in defiance of law, tradition, and common sense, set out to persecute an innocent man living in Florida, which DeSantis purports to govern. He could have answered this in tones of thunder, demanding to know what the Hell they thought they were doing in his state. He could have ordered the local SAC (special agent in charge) to appear at his office, and when he didn’t show up, drove over to his office escorted by State Police and plenty of media, to publicly humiliate him. He could even have shut the office down and ordered the staff out of state, as used to occur with regularity in my hometown when I was a kid (granted, it was the Mob-controlled police force that was doing this in Utica, but the principle is sound).
But he didn’t do any of this. No, he released a “statement,” which I’m not going to bother to look up – reading it once was enough. But it went something like, “That wasn’t very nice… maybe you shouldn’t do things like that.”
So much for the young GOP lion. Martha’s Vineyard stunts are one thing, standing up when it counts is something else altogether.

1For freedom Christ has set us free; stand fast therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. 2Now I, Paul, say to you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will be of no advantage to you. 3I testify again to every man who receives circumcision that he is bound to keep the whole law. 4You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you have fallen away from grace. 5For through the Spirit, by faith, we wait for the hope of righteousness. 6For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is of any avail, but faith working through love.

37While he was speaking, a Pharisee asked him to dine with him; so he went in and sat at table. 38The Pharisee was astonished to see that he did not first wash before dinner. 39And the Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside you are full of extortion and wickedness. 40You fools! Did not he who made the outside make the inside also? 41But give for alms those things which are within; and behold, everything is clean for you.

Pumpkin Spice Addiction: Know The Signs
- Heavy cinnamon use: This is a gateway spice.
- Doing pumpkin spice alone rather than in social settings: This could be a sign you are using the spice to self-medicate.
- Glowing blue eyes and sufficient prescience to fold space-time to allow for Faster-Than-Light travel: The ability to chart new regions of space is not worth the pain and suffering their family will go through.
- A pattern of waking up hungover, wearing three turtlenecks: And there’s a strange pumpkin in your bed!
- The need for twice as much spice to chase the original high: A clear sign you are spiraling toward an overdose.
- A tendency to lose children in piles of scarves: It’s not that cold, Betty! She doesn’t need that many scarves!
- Starbucks baristas know and fear you: And you have been there so many times you can now guess your barista’s gender on the first try.
- You feel annoyed or guilty when people bring up how much pumpkin spice you consume: Don’t be defensive, these people are trying to help.
- You add pumpkin spice to every single meal: Pumpkin spice steak is disgusting, but spice rutabaga is flat-out dangerous.
- Beautiful orange skin: And a penchant for border wall construction.

_________________
It was my understanding that women who are on the pill take it on a regular and ongoing basis, not just when they meet men.
And if that is the case, then women who are on the pill aren’t really thinking straight… well, I guess the word I’m searching for is ever… 😁
My understanding is that women on the pill are less looking for good father material and more looking at amusing, funny, attentive, and sporadic male contact. To be honest, I got a couple of good decades out of that and I’m thankful.
OTOH, there were sparse opportunities that never went anywhere in which I could have gone a different way….
You must be joking. Most women on the pill are looking for the same thing as men – impromptu sex.
That’s essentially what I just said. At the time, I was quite appreciative…..but looking back on it now…….
I suspected most women who were on the pill took it because most of the other women they knew were taking it.
Sorta like the vaxx.
You guys are out to lunch tonight. I’m going to bed.
It’s past my lunchtime.

Found what I was looking for and much more 🙂
Amen…& Ditto!!!

To paraphrase that old deodorant commercial, “it takes the worry out of being close”…..
And also the responsibility…
Most women are taking it to stifle their purpose for living. The test subjects in Puerto Rico were poor/lower middle aged married women. A lot of them died as a result.
What never gets mentioned is how many times the thing has been reformulated because women get injured and/or die from it at an alarming rate. Another failure of media responsibility, and seduction of women by the ones who seek to enslave us. In this case, make us slaves to sex.

My understanding–as of decades ago–was that many of the pills were placebos, or reduced strength at the very least. It wasn’t technically necessary to take the thing every day for the intended effect, but they didn’t want to confuse the customers by telling them on day so and so don’t take this pill, but start up again on next Wednesday. Far easier to put them in a container designed to dispense them in a certain order, and just say “take one every day.”
“It’s the 1980s that are back in fashion, not the 1970s. The 80s is bad enough.”
_____________
The only ‘fashion’ in the 1980s was bad fashion. Not that 70s fashion was much better, but it doesn’t seem as phony as the 80s.
For the most part, looking at old photos or movies, whatever was in ‘fashion’ looks fairly normal across the decades up until the 1970s. Not sure exactly what happened, but it probably had a lot to do with controlled substances.
1980s fashion was like a hangover from the 70s. Or maybe like binge drinking after a botched plastic surgery experience.
Aww, come on now. This didn’t do it for you in the Eighties?
LOL! Corporate superficialization of hippie, which was CIA mass-superficialization of social critique. From beat coffee shop to Starbucks in 50 years! With automated torn jeans along the way.
Lol! Yep.
Actually in the 80s clean-cut was actually IN. Not to the extent of the 50s but certainly more than the 70s or any time since the 80s.
After that “grunge” became the fashion and I’ve seen enough faded hoodies on unkempt teenage and 20 something slobs to last me four lifetimes.
I loved the 1980s fashion. Preppie all the way! 🙂 Haven’t liked fashion since.
I liked the 1950s and some of the 30s and 40s (didn’t experience them at the time but retro) but seems like since at the early 90s there hasn’t been a set look I liked
“I’m sure the idea was to help Joe find his way in the crowd and stay close to his wife who looks like his favorite couch. And probably smells like one, too.”

Zuckerberg is so ridiculously antiscience. When I was a science student, we HATED people like Zuckerberg, because they would grab one side of a science debate that they liked or needed, call it true, and simply not listen to other sides of things. They would “talk back” to science they didn’t like. The would NOT deal with it scientifically.
We would just shake our heads at people like that.
And now THOSE people are telling science what to think! ZUCK YOU, FUCKERBERG!!!

Learning a new language —
I love that! We do also have a and an, but it makes a good point.
And there are languages with no articles at all (e.g., Russian).
And they actually have trouble sometimes trying to figure out when to use “the” and when to use “a”/”an.”
There is a language which most have never heard of (some say this is an extinct language – but this far form so), which is even more elaborate and that is Sanskrit.
It has Eight Noun/Adjective/Pronoun Declensions:
(Nominative, Accusative, Instrumental, Dative, Genitive, Possessive, Locative, Benedictive) and ten types of Verb Conjugations in Present, Past and Future tenses
and every declension and conjugation are declined/conjugated according to the gender (male, female, neuter) in singular, plural, as well as dual (2 entities)
Each word has a root from which other roots are derived to form a verb, noun, adjective etc. which may in turn be basis for another root. This then is declined/conjugated.
Its alphabet is organized where the sound originates in the mouth and are in fact the root sounds for the root words. Each word is spelled as it is written. The pronunciation is in fact extremely precise.
This seems daunting to learn, but once you learn the basics you can derive the rest.
The language is extremely flexibel, since the word order is for the most part unimportant.
Because of this it can generate far more words than any other language (theoretically more the 300 million)
Speaking the language forces, you to use many more parts of your brain, since you need to constantly compute the structure in the sentence.
On top of it is a very melodies language, that is why most of the mantras one finds are in Sanskrit.
Now tell me:
Is that really such a good thing to only have one “neuter gender”
I’d love to see a study done.
How hard would a language be to learn, if it had complex, but non arbitrary grammar with no irregularities?
Sure, have eight cases…but ONE declension. ONE. [Inflected Indo-European languages (which is to say almost all of them) generally have multiple declensions and it’s not even one per gender, it’s two or three per gender, you just have to know which one to use.] Gender would apply only to things that have the parts…no need to remember that a banana is female and a table is male.
And ONE verb conjugation with no irregular verbs.
Not only that, but ensure the endings are unambiguous. Note in the “German” chart above that “die” is used for multiple cases for the feminine, but a masculine noun has different articles for each case. In Russian, everything is done with word endings but when I see the proper name “Gorbacheva” that’s either Mrs. Gorbachev in the nominative, or Mr. Gorbachev in the accusative (yes, your last name is different as a female than as a male). So you’re expected to maintain these endings…but they don’t mean anything without context. So…if you’re going to do this, make it unambiguous.
Would a complex language without any of that arbitrary baggage and without irregular verbs and nouns actually be fairly easy to learn?

Planned Parenthood Releases SICK New Ad Encouraging Kids to Take Puberty Blockers and “delay puberty for a while” [VIDEO]
By Amber Crawford | Oct 10, 2022
https://100percentfedup.com/planned-parenthood-releases-ad-encouraging-youth-to-take-puberty-blockers-and-delay-puberty-for-a-while-video/
Once again..sitting here slugging coffee down, reading up on what’s the hap….ANOTHER
story about things that a mere couple of years ago would’ve been reviled by nearly all of society and the medical community.
My current repeat question…………How Is This Happening ??? How do people abruptly change core beliefs ???????
Their core beliefs are corrupted easily, because they are not really committed to them. Lip service only.
i’ve witnessed it first hand in a Christian denomination’s leadership before leaving it – the UMC after about 40 years as member. They changed their stances and their legal staff rewrote doctrinal statements based on the politics and culture of the day subject to lobbying GC delegates votes. As the culture and politics became more liberal, their doctrine would be changed to mirror it. The pastors would go right along with the hierarchy and claim God directed the path of the denomination.
I called bullshiz on them all the way to the Bishop of our conference for years. I guess I was one of a minority who actually read The Book of Discipline to understand what it was I said I believed and supported as a member. They kept doing it, we left like many others. They count on telling the sheeple their beliefs and know that the sheeple will forget or move on to something else due to their lack of focus and commitment. Just like the disciples who walked away from Jesus at crunch time.
I agree with so many of your points but it’s the many who don’t profess beliefs bolstered by Biblical teaching….the many who use an inherent code of ethics…logical sense of right and wrong..the internal (God given) drive to protect children . Those are the ones that floor me.
I understand weakness and maybe even fear to stand up and do the right thing. What I don’t understand is the willing, no weakness involved, change in society in general.
By now, it’s a rhetorical question..only God knows I suppose.
The Catholic bishops in Europe are currently trying to reason their way around Catechesis. Other bishops, and the laity who have actually read multiple Catechisms, and supporting materials – including Sacred Scripture – are calling them out on it. There’s some not so collegial infighting going on right now.
DP. in case you are unaware, there is a site called Complicit Clergy which does a marvelous job of tracking all manner of deviation from Orthodoxy, particularly in church leadership, sometimes in great depth…other times just enough to make one’s blood boil.
For fairness and balance, they normally include a good example of faithful homily.
I have to wonder what PP is doing here. PP’s revenue model is based on people engaging in reproductive activities that become their client base. Why would they want to delay puberty? The speculative question is how can PP monetize children on puberty blockers?
You’re starting to see the truth. PP was NEVER about “family planning” per se, for the benefit of women and families. PP has always been about the monetization and medicalization of population control.
As it grows more successful in depopulation, the strategy will CHANGE.
Planned Parenthood will get money in a thousand ways for referring patients into the medical butchery (sterilization) world.
This is the BIG MONEY behind TRANS.
It’s all about big corporate money BEHIND THE SCENES.

I remember one of the debates from 2016. Hitlary tried to tell Trump that she didn’t think he had the stamina to spend 11 hours working every day like she did when she had to testify to Congress about Benghazi.
The comeback would have been “And if you had done your job and got those people out of there instead of leaving them to die, you wouldn’t have needed to do that.”
But that wasn’t DJT’s comeback. Was that because he didn’t think of it, or because he did and decided it would be a bad idea for some reason?
Video of all satellites in orbit!
https://twitter.com/fasc1nate/status/1579309262639370242
Beautiful proof of “round Earth”, BTW. None of the calculations that make stuff orbit, work out with flat earth physics. Knew a satellite engineer – who had to study all that physics. It ONLY works with the (roughly) spherical earth model. No other distribution of matter makes it work right.
It’s beautiful stuff.
And the best part? All of that stuff is NOT under NASA control – it has been privatized for decades. There ARE conspiracies and lies in the satellite world – LOTS of them – but they are not about the physics.
I took a couple of those classes, at the beginning level. You first deal with uniform spherical bodies (which, by the time you do the calculus, reduce to point sources), then you start adding irregularities such as an equatorial bulge and the math gets ugly FAST. If you don’t account for that equatorial bulge you get the position of something in an inclined low earth orbit wrong by five hundred miles…in the first day! The moon has enough irregular mass concentrations within it that there’s really no such thing as a long-term stable orbit around it (whereas things like the ISS would be stable, if not for drag from the upper, upper, upper atmosphere).
One of the points often made against round earthers is that if the earth were a disk people standing near the edge would actually have to lean away from the center…they’d feel as if they were standing on a slope. Because the pull of gravity wouldn’t be perpendicular to the surface out there, it’d be towards the center of gravity, i.e. the “north pole” of their disk. (I saw a nice YouTube illustration of someone climbing to the edge of a disk-shaped earth, quite some time ago, but I can’t find it now. A video would be worth a thousand words, here.)
(Never mind that such a disk, thousands of miles across, would crumble under its own weight and assume a different shape…some kind of shape with the lowest aggregate potential…now what on Earth would that shape be? Hmmm…)
So basically the flat earthers have to deny that gravity exists. They also end up denying that satellites exist, or that anyone has ever been in orbit, because by their premises there’s no such thing as an orbit to be in.
Note, according to Newtonian dynamics…a flat plane of infinite extent would have, effectively, an infinite escape velocity because the gravity would not drop off with distance. (Think about the field lines–they’d be parallel forever, rather than radiating outward and doing the inverse-square thing.) Likewise no way to be in orbit. But the flat earth model(s) is (are) not of an infinite-extent plane.
Niven’s Ringworld, living on the edge.
Heh…but that’s actually centripetal force (or the centrifugal pseudo-force) in play. He very carefully calculated how fast it would have to go through one rotation to provide roughly earthlike gravity on the inside flat surface.
A breathtakingly audacious engineering feat. The sheer size of the thing boggles the mind. He tried very hard to convey it, and couldn’t help but fall short…it’s just so damn big.
Actually, I think you’d get a kick out of the first part, at least, of the video I linked below in my comment to Wolf. Apparently you could stand on the OUTSIDE of the edge of the earth…if you could get there. Whereas with Ringworld, it’s the inside surface of a hoop.
Found the video I was thinking of:
GREAT video. The reality of “relativistic flat earth” – THAT is pretty cool, too.
Physicists generally resolve those conundrums by stating that you preferentially measure things in the frame of reference where they are stationary. So yeah, a rapidly moving earth would appear lenticular…but it’s almost perfectly spherical in its ‘proper’ or ‘rest’ frame.
Interestingly one of the two ways the FE-ers solve the difficulty posed by dispensing with gravity is to assume it’s static electricity (somehow, I think we’d know that from every day experience); the other is to assume that the disk is accelerating upward at 1 g. Forever. They have to disregard special relativity though (much less general) because the stars are not a star bow. (1 g is about equal to one light speed per year…so we’d see relativistic effects in 9 or so months and they’d be extreme before two years had passed–so, no special relativity and no gravity. Basically, I guess we toss all of physics to prop the theory up.)
Exactly. Flat Earth just doesn’t work. It’s anti-science. Cart before the horse, “because cart!”
Plus – every other body in space is an orb.
Well, that’s true of large bodies. If they’re small they don’t collapse under their own gravity, which is why small asteroids and the like can be irregular lumps. They’re basically rocks, dirty snowballs, or even gravel piles.
Above a certain size though, they will go round…and if I recall correctly part of the definition of a dwarf planet is that it be big enough to have done so. (It’s called “hydrostatic equilibrium” in part to remind people of the way water will find its own level, even in zero G, forming spheres.)
I love your explanations! You always have the real goods.
Ain’t no pancakes in outer space. Whether gas or solid.
There are flat looking galaxies, but they are made up of orbs.
Yes…a galaxy is gravitationally bound (so in one sense it’s a single object), but it’s not solid. It’s made up of much smaller things. Those things, of course, are stars and planets, and they’re big enough–and one lump each–to be forced to be round.

Lavrov : “There is more and more information that regular military personnel from the United States and European countries are constantly working directly in Ukraine
De facto Americans have been participating for a long time in the conflict in Ukraine”
The tasks of the Special Operation do not change, Ukraine should not be a terrorist state, which is allowed to do everything
When Russia, no longer able to tolerate the crimes of the Kiev regime, finally seriously responded-immediately everyone began to play condemnation- Lavrov

Lavrov : “There is more and more information that regular military personnel from the United States and European countries are constantly working directly in Ukraine De facto Americans have been participating for a long time in the conflict in Ukraine”…
The West itself understands that it goes a little further. than was planned. Regular servicemen of the US army, along with the army of a number of European countries, are constantly working “on the ground”, helping with the operation of multiple launch rocket systems — Lavrov
This war is run by the Anglo-Saxons. who completely control Zelensky’s regime. An approach to the settlement of the conflict was agreed at the negotiating table in Istanbul, negotiations were terminated by direct order of the United States and London— Lavrov

Good! He’s calling out the STUPIDITY of the “distant NATO powers”, who are BETRAYING the interests of the former East Bloc and central Europe.
I don’t know if this is photo shopped or real.
This is the reality of the so-called green energy.
Large tracks of land which can be used to grow food are covered and maybe lost for production.
From here:
Liz Truss to ban solar projects on farms | Tallbloke’s Talkshop (wordpress.com)
Before I say this, please remember that I’m a staunch advocate of WONDERFUL fossil fuels AND also a merciless critic of the outrageous and wasteful mass resource consumption by “green energy” like solar and wind.
With that caveat, IMO the INTEGRATION of solar energy with food production and wildlife conservation is simply immature. Solar energy can theoretically provide for GREENING of deserts, by protecting agricultural space for plants which need shade. The energy can be used to drive irrigation, etc.
A HEALTHY and DIVERSE and FREE energy infrastructure will make all this crap WORK.
It’s the GOVERNMENT CONTROL and CORRUPTION of Democrat investments which is strangling the healthy growth of energy technologies.
Politicians should be FORBIDDEN from stock trades – ALL stock trades. Their corporatist greed is leading to a world of faulty decisions.
This is why I like politicians of true faith. They want to do the right thing because it’s RIGHT, not because it makes them money.
That’s just a start. Honestly their finances should be absolutely, wide-open public. We should be able to see ALL outside income.
Yeah, that would mean they have no privacy, but they’re volunteering to be our “leaders” and as I see it they should understand going in that they should be held to a higher standard. Just as I don’t see how any government employee should be able to take the fifth on ANYTHING having to do with their jobs. You hold a public trust, the public should be able to trust (and verify) you.

Ukraine – War Propaganda And News Items
Today Russia’s missile and drone onslaught on Ukrainian infrastructure continues. I yesterday posted 25 headlines which over the last 7 month predicted that Russia would soon ‘run out of missiles’.
For laughs: The ‘coping’ mechanism after yesterday’s 200+ missile and drones is the very same I had debunked:
The NY Times is lying:
With Civilian Attacks, Putin Gives Hard-Liners What They Wanted
‘Civilian attacks’ when, as the NYT itself reports, only 14 persons were killed and less than 100 wounded yesterday during 200+ missile and drone strikes:
How many of those were killed by Ukrainian air defense misses is not known. It is sad that people get killed in a war but sometimes unavoidable.
The Ukraine military has killed way more civilians by its artillery strikes on Donetsk city. In 2003 U.S. ‘shock and awe’ in Baghdad killed at least 10,000 people. Israel kills hundreds of civilians during each of its frequent onslaughts on Gaza. Russia is obviously avoiding to kill civilians but still gets accused of doing it.

Who is really killing Ukrainian civilians?

Verse of the Day for Tuesday, October 11, 2022
✟
“But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.”
Psalms 13:5 (KJV)
Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered!!!
PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow, that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ.
AMEN.

Here’s another, more expanded take:

I got it fixed – no worries!
And WOW – that is the biggest #WalkAway YET!!!
I don’t like her, I don’t trust her, and I think she wants to be President.
She is unstable.
I suspect she could be used as a vote splitter.
YUP. She’s a WEF TOOL of some kind.
I will believe her genuines if she disavows the WeffenSS, which is a bigger version of the DemonRat party.
Yes – THAT would be something!!!
Yep. She might go independent and “caucus with” the Democrats. There are a few people in Congress like this who are “independent” but basically just vote like Dems anyway.
She might go independent but “caucus with” the Republicans. (So far as I know she’d be the only one.)
Or she might actually switch, in which case, she’ll be another pesky RINO, good for nothing except making sure the leadership of the chamber is also a RINO rather than a Dem.
Yep. Useless ALL those ways.
No change, then.
Wake me up when something changes. 😀
Lol!
Pretty sure she’s not a congresscritter any longer.
She’s not.
BUT, her statement IS spot on. Tulsi says what Uniparty will NOT say.
Not supporting Tulsi for anything, except exposing BiteMe, D-Rats, R-Cons…EXPOSING UNIPARTY.
She did state the truth, I’ll give her that.
Think she might be doing a “Third Party 2024” on WEF MK orders?
Yes, I do.
That would be the defeat of Trump. Count on it.
She can be in whatever party she wishes or none at all. What matters is what agenda she supports or opposes. What you do validates or exposes what you say.
N I C E L Y done Tulsi!
Perfectly stated. Without caveats or evasion.
For all the hand wringing going on, I am not supporting Tulsi for President, Vice President Senator, Congresswoman…yada, yada…
Folks ought to be happy about this Tulsi statement. Welcome it. Celebrate it.

Last week, Louisiana State Treasurer John Schroder announced in a letter to BlackRock’s CEO Larry Fink that he would divest all Treasury funds from BlackRock. Louisiana has removed $560 million to date and will pull out a total of $794 million by year’s end, Schroder noted.
South Carolina will pull $200 million from BlackRock by the end of the year, State Treasurer Curtis Loftis told FT in an interview.
For months now, Republican states have said they would not do business anymore with asset managers who have ESG-aligned investment policies, which, the states say, show that those financial firms are boycotting the oil and gas industry.

“Everybody has to follow, because otherwise their currency will be [devalued]… this will bring us to a world recession.”
FTA:
As a result of the Fed’s relentless tightening blitz, which on November 2 will have hiked rates by 75bps on four occasions in just 96 trading days, the fastest tightening campaign since Volcker, both US capital markets (the S&P 500 is down -24%, for the 4th worst year on record, only 1931, 1974, and 2002 were worse; and 10Y TSYs are down -17% for the worst year on record… 1987 second worse, and bonds were down -10%) and the US economy have been left reeling.
However, the damage in the US – whose economy is relatively isolated from the knock-on (or is that out) effects of the soaring global reserve currency – are nothing compared to the devastation unleashed by the Fed in the form of the soaring dollar and exploding interest rates. And yet the outcry against either the
SorosBiden administration, or chair Powell has been relatively muted (excluding the occasional scathing oped in China’s Global Times and fake populist rage-tweet by everyone’s favorite “native American“, Liz Warren). To be sure, this was to be expected: after all, the last thing central banks need, when they are seeking to effect an extremely unpopular global economic recession that will leave millions without a job (think inflation is bad? just wait until you have no job and inflation is still bad) is growing discord among the ranks of the technocrats who have a simple script: no matter how unpopular or stupid a given policy is, you never, never, disagree in public, as this risks sparking popular outrage and toppling the entire house of cards at the hands of a suddenly very angry public.At least that was the case until now: because today, in a startling outcry breaching the unspoken protocol of “no dissent, never dissent”, Josep Borrell, the high representative of the 27-member EU bloc, lashed out all too publicly at the Fed when he said that central banks (across Europe where the recession will be far, far worse than in the US) are being forced to follow the Fed’s multiple rate rises to prevent their currencies from slumping against the dollar, and compared the US central bank’s influence to Germany’s dominance of European monetary policy before the creation of the euro.

What is still shocking to me is that the decrepit old mercenary coot GEORGE SOROS basically took over “Atlantis” and convinced all the “military geniuses” in NATO that a “land war in Asia” – much worse a stupid one – was a good idea, IMO his ace stupefier was convincing them first that Ukraine was really Europe, and thus an exception to the rule.

Larry Johnson …
Funny thing emotions. One minute you can be in the depths of despair and then, in an instant, you are propelled to Olympian heights. We will ignore the psychiatric diagnosis of manic-depressive. The gnawing fear expressed in social media a couple of days back among those favoring Russia was vanquished with the news that Russian missiles shellacked dozens of targets throughout Ukraine. And, the weird euphoria that had whipped the pro-Ukrainian west into frenzied joy quickly died out as the list of targets hit by Russia grew, along with the body count.
My favorite piece of commentary came courtesy of Bernhard at Moon of Alabama. He cleverly took a look backwards and recited the litany of dire predictions that Russia was on the cusp of an irreplaceable missile and ammunition deficit. Hilarious! (Be sure to read his entire piece.)
…
Russia made a point today of taking out intelligence, military and power stations throughout Ukraine. I will withhold judgement on whether the strikes turn out to be a temporary inconvenience or caused lasting destruction that will be difficult to repair. I am sure that one target–the Ukrainian intelligence facility (SBU) in Kiev–is toast. It appears that Russian avoided hitting it when all of its workers were present. But the work spaces and files of the Ukie spooks went up in smoke.
con’t at link
(Comments, as always are interesting)
OK – there is something BIG there.
Russia targeted the Ukie intel center when the AMERICANS and BRITISH and other NATO personnel were NOT THERE.
But they could have been.
IMO that is a message to negotiate.
It was a CAREFUL escalation.
The sad thing here is that early negotiations would have left Ukraine with more land, more Black Sea access, and more of everything.
If the West continues to play this badly, I think Russia may see if it can GROW the Russophilic regions of Ukraine. The West should not let their own propaganda blind them here. The CURVE for “Khersonization” of Ukraine may tell a dire story.
Ukraine still kinda looks like Ukraine right now; It might shrink some more, and quite needlessly.
Contrary to what the West tells us… there ARE Nazis there … and there are many in Poland and …
In my view, Kiev, Odessa and a few others must be taken by RF ,,, or they’ll simply regroup and move on Russia again…Nuland et al did a thorough job .
I read another report last night that an entire floor of C_A was destroyed in that bldg… of course who knows what is true
Ukr soldiers are still killing civilians …
Russia is really at war with US/controlled by Cabal … US runs NATO and the EU . Lavrov’s t’gram channel clearly states that US and UK have boots on the ground …
It’s never been about ukraine which is why Biden says “we will support Ukr until the last Ukr dies” … then they’ll throw in another ‘proxy’ – Poland is chomping at the bit to ‘serve’ … 5,000 Poles were killed yesterday, as they were housed in Ukr at the ready …
5000 Poles killed? That sounds like CIA propaganda to keep the fight going. Putin and his people would be idiots to do that, and they’re not idiots. It would not even be good Russian propaganda to keep the Poles “useful” to the Russian cause.
Russia needs to make sure the Nazi stump burns, but (1) not necessarily now, and (2) not necessarily by their hand. The smartest move would be to make the Nazis a problem for the West, so that WE have to deal with them. And they are already a problem for America, taking all our money thanks to their Jazi masters. The risk for Russia is that the Nazis survive in the cracks after it all goes to rubble, but IMO there are ways to eliminate the Nazis, even in a negotiated peace.
Clarity needed in my response apparently . Zelensky was housing the 5,000 Poles ,,,
If you’re saying that 5000 Polish soldiers were killed on Ukrainian territory, then no clarity is needed – that is exactly what I’m talking about. I simply can’t believe it.
5000 deaths (or even dead and wounded) is a monstrously huge number of casualties in a single attack or wave of attacks. This is TWENTY TIMES the Beirut bombing. That might generate a few headlines.
What that is saying is 5000 NATO deaths in an attack where the Western media was hyperventilating over Ukrainian civilian deaths in the TEENS.
If that REALLY happened, that’s one of the biggest news items of the war. Just the idea that there were 5000 Polish troops in Ukraine is a big deal. That they went in there and got killed?
It’s SOMEBODY’S propaganda. I don’t know whose, but IMO it was disinfo bait for whoever picked it up.
If it’s NOT propaganda, then it’s a huge story.
Sergey Lavrov about Nazism in Ukraine :
“As for the neo-Nazi roots of the current regime, which were planted in fertile post-Maidan soil, this is a serious problem that needs to be addressed. I have no doubt that without eradicating Nazism in Ukraine, it will be very difficult for us to continue to solve problems of coexistence on a large European continent.But
here I have doubts about Europe.If we are talking about the Nazis, then Hitler united most of the countries of Europe under his banner in order to attack the USSR.Today, approximately the same group of countries supports Zelensky, but Zelensky , of course, not Hitler, because he does not determine the actions against the Russian Federation, he is ordered to do it.But the banners are the same.
These are the banners of the SS divisions, these are the banners and swastikas that they have not only on their flags, this is also the swastika that adorns the bracelet of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine – Zaluzhny and much more. All the bodies of captured Ukrainians are covered with tattoos of the very era that they consider ideal and idolize ”

I’d appreciate a return of that courtesy, but some people just have diarrhea of the mouth.
Sorry friend. We are definitely not living in the Age of Manners anymore. FWIW, in my estimation, your conduct has been exemplary.
Imagine how restrained some of us are when our Faith is attacked, and we are told XYZ is true when it isn’t. I could give examples, but it will not change any hearts or minds here.
That is why humility is a hallmark of the true disciple. Attacks on our faith are as painful as a punch to the gut. Apostle Paul certainly exemplified what to expect if one dares to believe.
No offense but Paul was sort of bullied into his role. Christ sure wasn’t interested in hearing him decline his assignment.
Humility came later probably after many many lessons.
Probably no one wants to go there (I hope!). But funny you should bring up the subject of disagreement.
There is a link above to an interview with Vigano where the first question begins:
Many Catholics today believe that Holy Mother Church is suffering the worst crisis in history, surpassing even that of the Arian Heresy.
My immediate response to the premises of that statement was emotional, along the lines of “how could a Christian even formulate such a statement?” Several objections to the logic of the statement started suggesting themselves to me, and my impulse was to point them out.
But then I noticed more particularly that the statement began “Many Catholics believe” which is almost certainly true, regardless of the rest. And the more I thought about it, I really began to question whether in any case a discussion about the nature of suffering, of historical crisis, and of Arianism, found its proper place on this site, as enjoyable as it would be to discuss them otherwise.
I might add, how profitable would the discussion be in any case? So before I saw your question, I realized that I would pass on my original inclination. And having seen your question, I am going to take it as a coincidental affirmation that I made the right decision.
A couple of thoughts:
Humility is a key Christian virtue that is very hard to put in practice. When we become aware that something we said or did gave offense, it involves apologizing, sometimes even when we didn’t intend to give offense. One component of that can be to let the other person know that they didn’t deserve it. And “someone did it to me first” is not an excuse.
When I read that quote you came to mind and I thought that it doesn’t apply across the board.
Lol, I read right past that quote this morning.
I couldn’t care less what anyone thinks about my faith or lack thereof, or whatever. Why should I? It’s mine, not theirs, and their judgement is irrelevant.
I don’t think you should care much, either. I think you are just fine the way you are. I think pretty much everyone here does, too. 🙂
OK, let’s try a little role reversal.
Say that I put some quote in my Saturday daily stating that Christians were gullible fools. Or let’s broaden it, let’s make it “Anyone who believes in God is a gullible fool.” Say it was Job Lowe. Or Christopher Hitchens (though I doubt he said that). Or Richard Dawkins (same).
[Mind you, I believe some Christians are gullible fools, but I also know for a fact that many atheists are gullible fools too; I don’t tie it to Christianity, and I don’t say “all.”]
Anyhow if I found such a quote and posted it, there’d be a hundred comments on that daily complaining about what I did, and I really doubt you’d be telling people not to be concerned about it, you’d likely be just as mad at me as everyone else would be. And that would be largely because the quote didn’t insult people’s faith, the quote insulted them–and you–directly just for believing what they believe.
This asshole Chesterton insulted me for not believing what he believes; worse, it’s quite simply a bigoted comment of the form “all X have this mental problem.” (Imagine if someone were to say “All Blacks are…”) And that was quoted approvingly by the author of today’s post, just out of the blue, apropos of nothing in particular. It was a drive-by snipe.
I try to treat people here with respect, in spite of my disagreement on this issue. Apparently a return of this courtesy is too much to ask for, at least from some.
Thanks for sharing your perspective here. Sorry if any of our interactions were perceived as demeaning, for That is Never my intent toward you–or anyone. Blessings!
Rest assured, yours are not.
Thanks Steve. But I also won’t hide my desire for you to have a literal “come to Jesus” experience at some future point in time when you & God (ha ha) are Both ready. I consider you a brother whom I hope & sometimes even Pray will also someday be my brother in Christ too. 😇
None of that is meant as anything outside of my sincerely held though extremely imperfectly executed faith. And I absolutely LOVE you as you are & have mentioned the same to my husband on more than one occasion. 💖😎💖
So please continue to excuse my feet of clay and my perhaps naive Christian desires 😉😇😉
Well, I’m not a Christian, but I am a believer in God. And I agree, insulting other’s beliefs is rude. I just don’t care what other people think about me. So whatever they want to say just doesn’t matter to me. I can count on one hand the people’s whose opinion of me matters.
And….I have long accepted that MY beliefs are NOT the majority in most settings. So, when someone in the majority of wherever I happen to be at a given moment insults my beliefs, I ignore it. Believe me, there have been MANY times on this site where that happens, but since I don’t share much about my particular brand of spirituality, they don’t know they’re insulting me.
I know that you have shared your atheism. But I don’t think about it much, since your beliefs aren’t my deal. And I think many Christians are so focused on their own beliefs that they just don’t even consider how others believe. I will give you an example from my own life; many times I have had Christians ASSUME I am Christian, because I say I believe in God. I don’t say Christian, but because they are so self-centered about their beliefs, they assume mine match theirs. It’s kind of hilarious.
Anyway, I just don’t want you to feel bad because some people think that their way is the only way. I don’t respect that attitude, but I can accept that there can be value in a person even if there are parts of them I dislike intensely. As with most everything else, I take what I want and reject the rest.
Your point about them assuming Christianity is the default, of course matches my own observations. In fact many are literally taken aback when they find out I don’t believe at all (I generally don’t share it with people who are in a position to put a brick through my window, but if directly asked, I will stand). They evidently just assume everyone is a Christian. (I suppose if my face was full of piercings and I was covered in tattoos or any of the stereotypical markers of a stereotypical millennial nihilist, they might not assume it.) So when you say you believe in God, of course they’re going to assume that that means you’re Christian; they’ve been assuming it all along. The only thing you changed by saying you believe in God is you didn’t disabuse them of the notion.
As for me feeling bad…it’s certainly no blow to my self esteem that bigots don’t like me. I’d be doing something wrong if they did like me.

“Medvedev: The fastest way to escalate the conflict in Ukraine to the irreversible consequences of a world war is to supply psychos in Kiev with extended-range MLRS.
“The aged leaders of the Washington regional committee and upstarts from NATO should at least occasionally turn on their softened brains. And one more thing. The thesis of the NATO Secretary General that a Russian victory will mean the defeat of the North Atlantic Alliance is a direct confirmation by the bloc of its participation in the war against our country. As they say — not from a great mind, but from a pure heart. An honest Norwegian guy has finally recognized this,” Medvedev said.”

Of your charity, Yours Truly asks for kind thoughts and/or prayers.
Just got back from the dermatologist’s office. A large-ish biopsy was taken of the skin on one’s right cheekbone and sent off for analysis. The doctor thinks it’s either a pretty nasty AK (pre-cancer) — or, that it’s Basal Cell skin cancer. The results will be back in about a week. If it’s skin cancer, it may need a Mohs procedure to get it dug out.
Thank you.
🙏
Prayers up for you RDS…..
Ah yuck. But, getting it treated and done shouldn’t take too long but “its a process.” I hope its the lesser and good results.
Amen. Praying for the best, RDS.
RDS, hang in there. I’ve had many Mohs procedures and all went fine. What they do is start very small and work outward until they find no cancer cells. It takes a while as after each “cut” the sample is taken to the lab in the office for viewing. This continues until no cancer is present. My history is the Mohs surgeons are VERY qualified and VERY good with their stitches. God Bless, and I hope this helps!
My prayers for the best possible outcome, and for your peace as you endure this process. 🙏
Prayers coming your way, I had that done on my ear in February.
It’s simp,e enough and not very painful. Do a layer at a time until there sure it’s all gone.
Sorry to hear this. God knows what you need many prayers to you ❤
Sayin’ a little prayer for you CV…
😉
I’m saying a prayer for you RDS. I know how nerve-wracking these things are. I’ve had Mohs procedures done twice on my face. I did have a plastic surgeon do it and was glad for that. In both cases the scars are barely noticeable. I know you will be just fine, and I’m going to help pray you through. Sending you loving thoughts, Sylvia
Kind thoughts AND prayers headed your way!
The Fiancee has been through a few rounds of Mohs. She packed for an overnight and had me drive her to her first. After that she drove herself and was back after a couple of hours.
It won’t be as bad as you think.
God be with You in hope and healing. Sorry you are facing yet another trial and waiting game.
“The US is not seeking conflict with Russia and will not send troops to Ukraine, the White House said.
Biden made it very clear that the United States also does not want the conflict in Ukraine to acquire a nuclear dimension, they see no reason for this, the White House added.”

The White said? No, someone at the WH may have said… or not.
Sorta like “Sources say…
I don’t believe a word of “the White House said … or added”
A story I heard once. A couple of people were trying to interest someone in the government in what they were doing. They simply couldn’t get the right official to agree to a meeting; their gatekeepers were refusing to pass them on.
Finally, one of them in frustration called the White House switchboard. He asked who they should talk to about X. The operator gave them the name of the person they’d been trying to contact.
“Thank you very much, Ma’am!” He hung up.
He then called the same office that had rebuffed him for a week, and told them, “The White House has referred me to your office…”
Ohh… so it’s the switchboard at the White House that is running the country!
Hah! Well these days it could be anyone except Joe Biden.
But more seriously, the people around the officeholder, who can decide who gets to talk to him, actually wield enormous power. If the officeholder is staunchly fiscally conservative, but all he sees for two years are people complaining about the effects of budget cuts…that officeholder could well end up softening. So a more go-along-to-get-along staff can warp things just by their choices in who gets to see the boss.

I’ve honestly never seen a house speak before, and if I did, I would be sure I was hallucinating.
Early this morning the Russians sent missiles into the Lviv region
The Russians also sent missiles to destroy the railway junction and train repair workshops in the Khmelnitsky area.
Khmelnitsky and Lviv lie 126 miles from each other.
In March, 2022, the Ukraine energy company Ukrenergo began working to connect electrical lines between Rzeszow, Poland and the Khmelnytskyi Nuclear Power Plant in western Ukraine.
Lviv lies 105 miles from Rzeszow, Poland.
Yesterday Ukraine announced that, starting today, Ukraine would stop exporting electricity to Poland
Today Polish authorities have responded and stated that they will not accept Ukraine’s decision to stop the export of electricity and reiterated that the terms of the contract between the two companies MUST be fulfilled….
This mornings missile strike destroyed four electrical substations that the Mayor of Lviv states will take months to repair. The city of Khmelnitsky is suffering from rolling power outages due to this morning’s missile strikes.
I think it’s going to be a very, very, very cold winter in Poland and that they are going to pay dearly for allowing NATO to traffic arms and equipment into Ukraine.
They have sunk far in my estimation, they’ve got their own gas pipeline, and what ever hardships they endure they,ve brought upon themselves, imho.
Don’t forget about that plane crash that took out the entire Polish govt. Looks like the replacements aren’t quite up to the job here in the big boys’ playroom.
Poland is going liberal. Came around to ckean, healthy, and conservative. Throwing in guilt in some social pressure has resulted in poor govt mgmt…ie getting squishy and stupid.
I don’t know if the Polish people are in line with their government or not. I can remember during the Trump presidency there were large demonstrations of support for the Mad Tweeter. It would be a mistake to look at the political leaders and the media-emphasized culture of America and conclude that we have gone Socialist. In some quarters Deplorables are not considered photogenic.
That prompted me to search if poland used dominion or any kind of electronic voting and the answer is no they don’t, so seems they chose what they got.
Maybe, maybe not. Vote fraud is as old as voting; it doesn’t require electronics. It’s just more work to physically stuff a ballot box than to do so digitally, and much harder to flip votes.
The old fashioned way. Have handlers, buy the voters, take them to the precincts, have the inside people verify the vote is cast. Harder, but can be and is still done.
I agree to all that. In my limited view it seemed as though the poles were in line via both. I think as their govt was murdered things changed.
NATObomba over-expansion – the gift that keeps on giving!
“Today Polish authorities have responded and stated that they will not accept Ukraine’s decision to stop the export of electricity…”

Tulsi Gabbard is a snake.
Hindu’s are impartial to snakes and some actually revere them.
As an American Samoan, she was mostly homeschooled and fell into the Hindu religion as a teenager apparently traveling from Hawaii for her training in the Philippines with a certain sect of Hindu’s. In American political culture, she clearly stands out as being singular.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_of_Identity_Foundation#Theology Excerpts:
I’ve got nothing against snakes either (though I will definitely steer clear of venomous ones)…but I got Piper’s point.
Found an interesting article from 2017 that goes into detail with her life, political, military and religious as well as her family background. Article seems fair. It also brings out her constantly evolving positions that give her those snake like attributes that piper picked off.
Gabbard is strange one for sure. This article explains much. It’s rather long, so suggests some might wish to play it on audio.

Oh wait, that’s the supreme being Naga. This is more about the Naga’s themselves.

Tulsi is also a WEF young leader … really the same thing
On the positive side Tulsi called out BiteMe for the piece of shit BiteMe is.
After she supported him in 2019-20.
She gets a point for quitting the party. Typically political suicide.
Apparently at least one Dem state legislator came back with “Wait, Tulsi Gabbard was a Democrat?”
Apparently she was never very comfortable with LGBT stuff, and of course that legislator is gay…

Ironically, this may actually mean many or even most polls are honest, even the really lopsided ones that we used to bash. Which is to say, they accurately report their responses. If people on the MAGA side refuse to talk to pollsters (or lie to them) more than the other side does, that will skew any poll no matter how much they might want it to be correct.
On the other hand, this IS the Left, so they’ll lie if they want to.
But a candidate’s internal polling must be honest or it’s useless to the candidate. How much were those skewed by this effect? How much are they skewed now?

FBI Counter Intel Supervisor Admits in Court that FBI Offered Steele Another $1 Million to Prove Dossier was Real But He Couldn’t – Lawless FBI Used It to Go After President Trump Anyway

Which means, of course, the Mueller KNEW it was bullshit all along!
Yup.
I rank Mueller in the same mental status as Biden.
I’d agree with you.
That is why the cabal chose both of them.
Durham doing courtroom work? He is making sure certain facts come out.
This is probably why that other attorney quit – he didn’t want to deal with exposing the scheme.
The level of felonious, RICO type activities that FIB has routinely conducted has been beyond comprehension. Even the criminals they employed stopped going along with it in this case.
RICO is the way to go, starting with the Seth Rich phony Russian hack case as an “act in furtherance.” The DNC server has always been the key.
Is that not treason ?

Pfizer Director Admits Before European Parliament the “Vaccines” Were NEVER TESTED FOR STOPPING TRANSMISSION of Covid-19
https://thelibertydaily.com/pfizer-director-admits-before-european-parliament-the-vaccines-were-never-tested-for-stopping-transmission-of-covid-19/
WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT!
She didn’t answer the question – she FUDGED the answer intentionally.
She said nothing about stopping transmission.
She answered a question about stopping IMMUNIZATION.
IMO, it still amounted to a “No”. Mucking it up by inserting Immunization does not help here, but you can bet she’s looking for wiggle room for when this comes up again and she’s had time to speak with her consultants.
She never answered the question he posed, from what is presented here. As far as I’m concerned, that’s an evasion, and the questioner is entitled to rake Pfizer over the coals, but he doesn’t have a true admission that they did not test for reduced transmission.
IMO she hosed the response intentionally. She can easily say “I was answering the question of whether we stopped immunization [because of whatever] and the answer is no. There was NOTHING about “testing for reduced transmission”.
It’s like putting a nickel into a quarter slot. “I never put a quarter in the slot.” She got complete deniability.
I can actually argue better in Pfizer’s favor than Pfizer can, because I know the truth. All of the vaccines reduce transmission OF THE ORIGINAL WUHAN VARIANT. Which is and was no longer there. If they reduce infection, they reduce transmission. Simple logic.
They all protect against it, and they all thereby reduce transmission because people don’t get it and pass it on. Basic science, and it still works.
Doesn’t mean the vaccines are GOOD, or even NOT HORRIBLE, but that’s a different question.
The Bivalent vaccines now work on BA4 and BA5, but still have Wuhan in them because it’s more pathogenic, and does a better job of depopulation. SNEAKY like a Fauci. There’s no reason to have Wuhan in there, other than a re-release or depop.
The vaccines do work on the BA4 and BA5 Omicron variants, but so does Omicron, and it works BETTER and SAFER.
People who got the vaccines got antibodies for the spike proteins they were injected with, and the vaccines “worked” to some limited extent, decreasing drastically by the time they encountered Delta and Omicron.
The question of whether people should take these damn vaccines is MUCH bigger than whether or not the vaccines generate antibodies.
This whole thing has been a FIASCO OF SCIENCE, largely because of Anthony Fauci.
The good questions are almost ALWAYS stymied by this tactic, which is not even a clever or sophisticated tactic, and yet we NEVER see anyone on our side even seem to recognize it. Why is that?
Not sure why, but it’s very disappointing that this does not get caught and rejected IMMEDIATELY.
BTW, Kari Lake (former journalist) is not fooled by this tactic, and is one of the few who will instantly point out that her questions have not been answered.
So when someone asks about reducing transmission…are they perhaps asking a more specific question? DO they mean something more like, “does this reduce transmission from someone who already has covid?”
For similar-but-opposite reasoning from yours, I’d say the answer is “no.” The virus, “looking” for a new host, doesn’t “care” what it was like in the old host.
A vaccine can ONLY protect the person who it has been given to. If it doesn’t, it’s not effective. Reducing transmission in your sense of the term is a side effect of what it actually does. Reducing transmission in my sense of the term shouldn’t even be a question, if it were effective, because if it’s effective you shouldn’t ever meet the precondition of my definition.
Yet all this time people have behaved as if the purpose and sole benefit of the thing were to protect others, not the injectee. In other words, as if reducing transmission the way I defined it above, is the ONLY thing it does. Which is why most people who are vaccinated consider themselves threatened with Covid from anyone who isn’t–they’ve been sold on its purpose being to reduce transmission by the vaxxed, not reduce infection of the vaxxed. Were I vaccinated against something, by a vaccine I believed to be effective, I wouldn’t give a flying rat’s ass whether Joe Blow is vaccinated.
But the problem is my definition is actually non-sensical at the physical level. The only thing a vaccine can actually do is prevent the vacced person from getting the disease.
Yes the questioner should have caught that.
Wondering though if she fluffed it because she was panicked by the hard question.
I agree…she purposely misled in her response.
Yes, I noticed that. She said, “Did we know about stopping immunization before it entered the market?” But that doesn’t make sense. You don’t use a vaccine to stop immunization. He took that to mean, “Did we know about making people immune,” or “stopping the spread.” I think he might be correct.
She further said they had to move “at the speed of science,” which also makes no sense because I thought science was a slow process of trials and repeated proofs.
Oh, there is SO much wrong here, I can’t even begin. You’ve touched on the main points. The whole “speed of science” is a DODGE and phony as hell.
There are both fast and slow components of science, and Pfizer always chooses the most profitable ones, not the best ones for their patients.

Well, the artist with the funny mustache (it was hilarious on Charlie Chaplin) also thought Ukrainians were subhuman. Though probably not as subhuman as, say, sub-Saharan Africans, much less Jews.

Looking forward to Kari Lake’s reaction!
#MeToo !
😉
OMG, they nailed that criminal bitch on the AR-15 in her driver’s vehicle.
So, there’s this WaPo article excerpted at HotAir — and part of the excerpt is, “Studies have linked regular cannabis use in adolescents with lower IQs in adulthood and higher propensity to drop out of high school. This association persists in college-age students. One large study followed college students and found frequency of marijuana use to correlate with skipping classes, lower grade-point average and longer time to graduation.”
Hoping that the statute of limitations is less than 40 years, I’m going to admit to some herbal therapy during the time I was in college. It helped me to attend classes without getting into arguments with people, my GPA went up the more I used, and I graduated a program that most people thought was five years in three-and-a-half. I suspect it helped me passively absorb the coursework.
One major downside was that people around me were getting increasingly oblivious and dangerous. At one point, my roommate and I were out clambering on rocks at Campus Point. I thought I heard him say “ark”. I said, “what was that?” and he turned around and said, “what was what?” We both looked about five feet in front of him and there was a baby seal.
“Oh, a seal, a baby seal….”, he said, enraptured — starting to bend over to pet it or something. I grabbed him and spun him around and said, “yes, it’s a baby seal — and I don’t want to be anywhere around here when MOM comes back.” I convinced him to beat a hasty retreat….but it really took a lot of the bloom off the rose. How can you get happily plotzed when you have to be the Chief Safety Officer for everyone around you or risk being mauled as collateral damage by a passing pinniped?

I’m going to agree and disagree on the pot thing. For every straight-A toker I knew in high school or college – AND THERE WERE A FEW – I knew 10 whose grades were shot to hell. Which sounds about right for an abused therapeutic.
Three of the most prominent “smarter tokers” were pre-med, pre-law, and accounting. Thus, my lack of surprise in your case.
But the downside cases – OMG. So many, and so bad. In many instances, the lives of the people were shot to hell. I used their life stories as excellent parenting tools.
You were the exception, not the rule. WaPo it may be, but the science conforms with what I know from observation.
