Let’s see…there has to be a cocktail for that….
Apparently not.
How about my Granny’s favorite?
Manhattan
Ingredients
- 2 ounces rye whiskey
- 1 ounce sweet vermouth
- 2 dashes Angostura bitters
- Garnish: brandied cherry (or lemon twist, if preferred)
Steps
- Add the rye whiskey, sweet vermouth, and bitters into a mixing glass with ice and stir until well-chilled.
- Strain into a chilled Nick & Nora or coupe glass.
- Garnish with a brandied cherry (or a lemon twist, if preferred).
Granny liked them straight up. It was shocking. Such a lace curtain Irish wannabe…. Talented woman, though.

1 JOHN 5:5-13
5Who is it that overcomes the world but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? 6This is he who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ, not with the water only but with the water and the blood. 7And the Spirit is the witness, because the Spirit is the truth. 8There are three witnesses, the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree. 9If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater; for this is the testimony of God that he has borne witness to his Son. 10He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. He who does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has borne to his Son. 11And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12He who has the Son has life; he who has not the Son of God has not life. 13I write this to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life.
SATIRE!
Have a good weekend!
I’m sorry if this has been covered here, but a friend of mine has family members who have COVID and are feeling bad with temps in the 101-103 range. They are taking over-the-counter supplements, and a doctor has said that Paxlovid might help. I don’t know anything about it and am wondering if there are any major contraindications. These people are not vaxed, by the way. I also am almost positive they don’t have IVM or HCL, and it’s probably too late to get those.
IVM, it depends on where they are and who they know. It is sold OTC in feed/livestock stores in rural areas. I remember when it first came up in conversation and Gail said, “that stuff? I have a gallon of it in my refrigerator.”
Yes, I’m just thinking that, if they aren’t used to the idea of taking “horse paste,” they probably won’t do it on the spur of the moment. But I can mention it.
I think https://ivermectin.com offers overnight delivery.
Ivermectin.com offers high-quality Indian ivermectin. Different brand from mine, but it’s all good stuff.
I’m almost certain they offered overnight for $45 when I placed my order, but when I checked the website before posting my reply to TT, I didn’t see any “overnight” or “next day” shipping option.
IIRC, the paste can be mixed into some applesauce or yogurt.
Yogurt is also good for the probiotics.
There is also liquid Ivermectin for horses, usually available at the same places that sell paste.
The liquid is injectable for cattle.
Or oral for people! 😉
Thank you! I should have thought about it, if the paste is for horses, the liquid is probably for something else. I think I remember a silhouette of a cow or a pig (or both) on the label for the liquid, but I haven’t looked at it in a while.
You may have thought they were using packaging from BBQ sauce.
You can get ivermectin in solution that is meant to be injected into cattle/swine. It has very few ingredients, none of which should be problematic in a relevant dose, and is sterile. You can just squirt it into a small cup of water and slug it — no flavorings.
Just remember it has to be the regular. Not the gold, ultra or such. Apple flavor is good though.
A good tube will only have Anthelmintic and Boticide in it.
YES!!! *NEVER* get ivermectin with any other active ingredients in it, without a doctor’s prescription or detailed advice. Too many of the things added to it for antiparasitic use are NOT suitable for OTC applications.
Or, potentially, humans at all….
This is also a good time to remind people that many dogs — particularly herding dogs — lack the enzyme necessary to detoxify ivermectin. If such a dog consumes ivermectin, they are likely doomed to a lingering death.
Even “resistant” dogs which tolerate low doses of ivermectin, can react badly to high doses, or to the more powerful and long-lasting moxidectrin. Do not give to dogs without a vet’s blessing, IMO.
GO WITH THE THE HUMAN TABLETS!

From another Treeper:
We did not have to give ID to order through Ivermectin.com & got 100 12 mg tablets for $190 but shipping wasn’t free, I think we paid $6…
THIS is where I am.
While I did buy the injectable, when I wanted IVM, NOW, tablets were NOT available as quickly.
IVM tablets NOW readily available AND quickly. ONLY way to go for me.
My calculus leads me to horse paste.
20 pills/$177
Tube of paste/$15
Call me Mr. Ed.
Mr. Ed.
🙂
The other issue is there is plenty of plain old colds and flu going around. Don’t assume that a covid test can tell the difference. Worse case you waste a weeks worth of IVM at it. May kill of some plane old stomach bugs.
Well, I take the vitamin I periodically just for general purposes. I am willing to take it when it might help, can’t hurt.
I had the cold for 10 days. Lost my voice for 2. And I was fasting, and a week of IVM and other supps. Nothing.
Wouldn’t that be Mrs. Ed?
Or maybe the long-lost cousin, Fizz?
Lol! Call me whatever, just not late to the feed trough!

Not Time Critical.
FLCCC used once for speed. Pricey, limited quantity and spoke with a quack.
—
NOT time critical – my experience. ALL positive.
IndiaMart guy – Welcome Healthcare. He even called me, after I posted my inquiry for product price, including shipping. By the way, I timed my inquiry for roughly 8AM Mumbai time. I wanted to be business friendly AND get their attention.
https://www.indiamart.com/welcomehealthcare/covid-care-drugs.html#24158845633.
Very straight forward and clean sale, delivery, ~two weeks. Significantly more product for the buck. Purchased IVM, HCQ and Azithromycin.
He even called me three or four months ago, inquiring if I needed more supplies.
—-
WRT, Qtree link in Gails post, that I posted back then…
^^^ Hopefully all of that makes sense.
Grreat, thanks for that info!
THANK Q
Will update.
Yours Truly’s opinion:
Immediately contact FLCCC. Get an MD off their list who has a license to practice in their state. Get IVM or HCQ sent to them via overnight delivery. I personally don’t think it’s too late to get one of these started.
If that’s not possible, IVM from a local store that sells pet supplies. Even the paste is OK. The box will have the dosing amounts per pound of weight. IIRC, the paste is one dose of paste per day until the infections are gone.
Immediately get each sick person on 50mg of Zinc per day for 6 days. Then drop it down to 30mg per day until the infections are gone.
Immediately get each sick person on 4000mg vitamin C per day until the infections are gone.
Immediately get each sick person on 3000IU of vitamin D per day until the infections are gone.
Immediately get each sick person on 500mg of Quercetin per day until the infections are gone.
The Zinc, vitamin C and vitamin D are all OTC from the nearest place that sells them. Probably also the Quercetin. If not, they should drink 2-3 cups of green tea per day until the infections are gone. This, in addition to hydration in general.
IMO, Paxlovid is to be avoided.
Absolutely agreed. It has a 10-20% REBOUND rate, where people take it and it COMES BACK AGAIN.
That is absolutely unacceptable to me. Ivermectin NEVER has rebound.
I am telling you – IF and WHEN I get COVID again, I am treating with ivermectin, NOT paxlovid or molnupiravir.
BTW, they need to be taking 1 aspirin daily to get that fever down, AND antihistamines – claritin, zyrtec, allegra, xyzal, or generic equivalents – 1 per day or 2 per day if they can tolerate it.
Throat washes by gargling with Listerine or any kind or Povidone mouthwash if they can find it.
Zinc and vitamin D just enough to not be deficient.
Wolf Moon
Agreed. One was going with FLCC recommendations regarding the Zinc and the vitamin D that they were making some time ago.
“I am telling you – IF and WHEN I get COVID again, I am treating with ivermectin, NOT paxlovid or molnupiravir.”

No reason to fix what ain’t broke 👍😁
Dang right!!!
Thank you!
Thank you! I’m passing this on.
Thank you for this, RDS. I saw Quercetin for sale at my local grocery stores (Food Lion, Walmart, or both).
when was this? when I did a major stock up of immune boosting stuff I only found one bottle between multiple stores & it rang up as a strange item, not listing quercetin on the receipt, like they’d been removing it from shelves
Valerie, I think it was a couple of months ago. It was right in the main OTC drug aisle toward the front and a little below my knees.
Probably at Food Lion
OK, I was in Wal-Mart, Meijer, Kroger, & Target & only found that one bottle in Meijer, I think…
You can also try the Vitamin Shoppe or other small specialty shops.
Pricey, but where I go if I am desperate. I buy my CBD Hemp oil from one and my Tri-Iodine from the other.
Thanks, I hadn’t thought of that for I usually am looking for the cheaper routes, if possible. Having no income for 8 months & still having debts to pay, plus being a genetic penny pincher is a hard habit to break 😉
I am the same, however the CBD oil got me off the OTC pain meds that were eating up my stomach. ==> Over weight. (I was always feeling hungry)
Thanks!
Quecertin my neck of the woods.
All your suggestion help even for non covid. I have taken it for sinusitis and even for my enlarged gland that shrunk in two days. When I was bitten by a tick I found out through research that Germany used Ivermectin to negate problems with tick bites.
I hope people are successful using these simple meds.
I really hope I remember your info on IVM & ticks. We’ve had Horrible tick issues in Northern Michigan the last few years. When our son was bitten by a tick a few years back we got him on doxycycline, per our pastor’s rec (he had a son w/ lyme issues), to forestall possible issues. Since we now have IVM on hand that could be a better option, & quicker, for us–TY!
I would do both but it is me do not know how your son reacts ?
He’s on a contra-indicated med, Prograf/tacrolimus, so I’d need his liver doc’s OK to use IVM for him…
Good to be prudent 🙂
Yes 🙂
Ticks, too!? Awesome!
Yes worked for me but one has to do it right away not wait. I discovered a bullseye on my leg took right away ivermecting after reading a German paper, Internet can be great 🙂
That’s awesome! Ticks cause Lyme disease, which can be devastating.
Do you have a link to that paper? I would like to share it.
No I do not but when I find it again will post it.
Thanks!
OH – I forgot.
Paxlovid has HUNDREDS of DIRE contraindications, because it uses an AIDS DRUG which was nearly as bad as AZT – called ritonavir. It literally stops your liver from working properly. It’s added so that the other drug – the COVID protease inhibitor – doesn’t get metabolized – or at least that’s what they CLAIM.
There are MANY drugs that you cannot take with paxlovid AT ALL, and some are so bad of contraindications, that just stopping the drugs isn’t good enough, so if you took them at all recently, you CANNOT take paxlovid.
Worse still, IMO, the drug literally STOPS immunity.
DO NOT TAKE IT.
Thank you. I will copy all this info and pass it on. I thought there were negatives about Paxlovid but hadn’t paid enough attention or taken notes.
This is for a man in his 50s, I think, and his son who is probably in his late 20s. I have no idea what, if any, meds they might be taking.
I absolutely will not take paxlovid myself!
If the toxicities were reversed, I would be hesitant to make a recommendation, but ivermectin has almost no contraindications, and is extremely safe, which is why it is dispensed so liberally in parasite-infested countries, whereas paxlovid has a list of contraindications a mile long – many of them very serious.

I know, I was referring to your friend’s family members! 👍🙂
We ordered from Ivermectin.com & chose the cheapest rate, $6 for 5-6 days by USPO, iirc. We placed our order on New Year’s Eve & it arrived yesterday, when I took my first dose. I’m the family guinea pig & if it doesn’t mess with me then hubby & our guest Might take some. I don’t think son Josiah can take IVM given his Tacrolimus/Prograf prescription, but will discuss w/ Liver doc next week.
We’ve All been fighting a very nasty “cold” since at least Sunday–yuck!
Get well! 🙏
Thanks. We’re working on it but it’s slow going. Hubby only went to work on Tuesday. Son only went in today. Lots of rest (at strange hours) happening for the four of us 🙂
I hope everyone is feeling better soon. Also hope whatever bug you all have is something that IVM works on 👍
And you are brave to be the guinea pig 😁
LOL I’ve wanted to try IVM for a while & was researching its possible uses for diabetes off & on too.
Everyone’s on the mend to some degree. Hubby even is grilling some burgers Now, after having a parts run to reconvert the grill from natural gas (our built in line is very old & bad) to propane again. Unfortunately no one has much of an appetite still (not a bad side effect for me!)…
Off the wall. When you have a few moments, what is the use by, expiration date on the packaging?
Wondering how “fresh” their stocks are.
FWIW. I largely ignore the date, but do prioritize stocks on hand.
Our package was “IVEJUV 12” manufactured May 2022, expiring April 2025
Several places on the website info said that the meds don’t actually expire if stored properly.
They also provided I-Mask Prophylaxis & Outpatient treatment recommendations on their website for reference…
Thank you.
Fully onboard with meds don’t expire. I also largely ignore dates on food.
^^^ Stable temperature AND humidity controlled environment is key.
FWIW, IF ammunition had an expiration date, I’d ignore that also. 🙂
Love it!
Those are recommended dates intended to convince you to scrap said product and by MOAR. I keep my fridge on extra super cold. Milk goes in the very back, keeps 2+ months easily. I’ve got perfectly good OJ that expired well over 8 mos ago. I never throw out drugs. At best they’re just fine, at worst they lose full effectiveness, which means I take another half. And I’ve already confessed to still wearing a sweater I’ve owned for 43 years. 😜 I am by no means cheap, I’ll pay lots more for nicer things. I don’t trust any of the marketing scams and I like to get my money’s worth! 😊 I know idjuts that are freaked out on food and dates, won’t eat leftovers. Some food gets better after the flavors meld overnight. Is a head of lettuce good the next day? 🙄 They waste so much money eating out all the time because it’s ‘fresh’. How many days you think that food has been sitting in the store/kitchen already?? Shh, don’t mention that, they’ll have a meltdown.. RIDONKULOUS!!
Agreed.
Want an appeteaser? 😂
Bacon that I can drop on my foot is on tap for tomorrow!

Who needs popcorn??
Popcorn is for plebes.
Or soyboy vegans, but I repeat what you said.
One of the amusing ones is bagged salad. It’s packed in nitrogen so as to stay nice and fresh-looking, but starts degrading as soon as it contacts oxygen.
Very similar thoughts. 
If you think it is getting ‘old’ you heat it up again! (I make a lot of soups in the winter)
With salad OLIVE OIL & VINEGAR will help to keep it fresh longer. You can add your favorite dressing when you serve, but the oil keeps down the evaporation and the vinegar is a known preservative.
ALSO — VERY IMPORTANT —
Under NO circumstances should ANY person who IS NOT “vaccinated”, gets COVID, and recovers, take ANY COVID-19 “vaccine.” (Even if that means getting another job, finding another school, etc.)
See @VigilantFox
3:56PM – Jan 5, 2023
Clip from a video presentation by Dr. Peter McCullough.
Takeaway from Dr. McCullough:
“Someone who’s had COVID under no circumstances should take a shot of a ‘vaccine’.”
Good reminder!
Paxlovid is the rebound drug. I can’t recommend it.
If they are willing, they could get vitamin I from a feed store as horse paste. Works the same.
With the fever, acetaminophen, i.e. Tylenol, is best for Covid. I don’t ever recommend it for anything else.
The problem is likely that for someone who is not already up to speed, taking horse paste is going to draw the side-eye like, like suggesting medieval blood-letting 👍😂
We already have leeches. They live in the swamp.
There are still medicinal leeches. We had a guy whose aorta blew out (hereditary problem — his brother died while waterskiing and was gone before he came to a stop). His doctors attached leeches to his fingertips to try to save his fingers (they saved one joint each).
So, they saved the fingers but not the body? How would that work, cthulhu?
They saved his body, his mind, and much of his extremities — but lost a couple of joints off each finger and his legs below his knees.
He was actually in a hospital for observation at the time. He had gone in because “he could hear his heart beat”. He was being transferred into an overnight bed when his aorta blew out.
Oh, my!
Blood-letting was the original blood thinner – and it REALLY worked, when prescribed for the right thing!!!

Martin Armstrong: The Coming Revolution – The End of Brazil
https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/central_america/the-coming-revolution-the-end-of-brazil/
The leftist press immediately claims that any assertions of a rigged election in Brazil are as baseless as the Hunter Biden laptop. Our model shows that the election was in fact bogus and it was in a series of global elections that are being rigged to create this global leftist agenda. For any newspaper to immediately proclaim Bolanaro left the country amid “baseless” claims shows that they are just propaganda and part of the agenda.
Our model showed a serious Directional Change would take place in 2023, but we are looking at the complete collapse of Brazil and a major revolution unfolding in 2030. Leftist governments have ALWAYS, and without exception, resulted in declining economic growth. NEVER has even just one ever produced any economic benefit to the whole of any nation. Brazil has sealed its fate and it will take the rest of the continent with it. South and Central America have been plagued with Marxism and that is why the continent has been unable to rise from its knees. Even the Pope has been infected with this philosophy which is why he is always commenting on the economy rather than religion. This has led to many Catholics now saying – He Ain’t My Pope.
How are you feeling tonight, DePat? Ready for the weekend?
No.
I’m very sorry to hear. I hope you have an understudy that can carry things through.
No, I really don’t. There’s just one me. If I go on vacation ever….
I’m glad to have the people here, though.
Just holler when you need that backup!
This I can do on vacation. It’s some of the other stuff I do that will be an issue.
If you can get back to sleep, this would be a good time to do it. Sleep is the healer.
DP, it may be time to consider that you have some underlying low-grade infection, sinus or lungs.
You may have to have antibiotics to get better.

“CDS (cartel de Sinaloa) gives the Mexican president 72 hours to free Ovidio or they will set fire to gasoline stations, go after civilians, military and government officials.” 33.5K views05:19

*******************
“There has been some speculation that Mexican authorities did this at the behest of the United States in the lead-up to the meeting of North American leaders next week in Mexico City. There is, however, reason to be skeptical of such; such a violent response by CDS was to be expected after the Battle of Culiacán in 2019. If Sinaloa’s demands aren’t met and they do follow through with their threats, the deterioration in the security situation could place the meeting in jeopardy.
Such would be a blow to U.S. interests, given Washington’s foreign policy of late has increasingly placed an emphasis on the role of Mexico within American strategy. Likewise, Chinese reach in Latin America is growing, so the more the U.S. has to focus resources on Mexico, the more it is constrained in operating elsewhere in the region to combat this trend.
Finally, there are more immediate political considerations at play. Mexico in 2021 was the 2nd largest trading partner of the United States, with total value of this commerce estimated at $661 Billion. This is important, as Mexican national authorities have previously identified CDS (and CJNG) as a serious threat to cross border trading relations, given their influence in the Mexican borderlands. Disruptions to this trade would affect not just important states like Texas and California, but the national economy at large.”

This is taking place right on America’s doorstep.
Another issue is that, while “American” elites have no issue with mass immigration into the country, the high levels currently being seen this year are still inflicting enough political heat on Washington that Biden recently announced he would head to the border to observe the situation himself. Should cartel violence seriously escalate, this will only exacerbate the problem by creating a genuine humanitarian crisis on the border as Mexican civilians join the movement north to escape the violence.
Exactly this sort of situation has been a persistent fear of U.S. leadership since Obama was in office, and it has grown in recent years as the situation in Mexico becomes more precarious. Time will tell, but the next 72 hours could really set the tone for security issues in North America for 2023.”

Sounds like the perfect excuse for the military to go Keyser Söze on the cartels. No more tit-for-tat gun battles and attempts at apprehension. Drop bunker-busters and daisy cutters on every known rats nest. Attack them like they are an invading army, and don’t stop until you wipe them out.
AMLO would become the best loved Presidente in all of Mexican history — past, present and future.

Or better yet, tell the cartels that AMLO hid the prisoner at Biden’s house.
Nasty the Pigs House!
“CDS (cartel de Sinaloa) gives the Mexican president 72 hours to free Ovidio or they will set fire to gasoline stations, go after civilians, military and government officials.”
_____________
Also a perfect time to announce insanely high bounties on the heads of any cartel member, and distribute free firearms to all Mexican citizens, along with photos of known cartel members.
Go big, or go home.
“…the high levels currently being seen this year are still inflicting enough political heat on Washington that Biden recently announced he would head to the border to observe the situation himself. Should cartel violence seriously escalate, this will only exacerbate the problem…”
_____________
It would terrible if the cartels took out 10% Joe and his entire entourage.
Just terrible.
Hate to see that sorta thing.
Why should they take out their best buddy & partner, Chyna Joe??
“Exactly this sort of situation has been a persistent fear of U.S. leadership since Obama was in office, and it has grown in recent years as the situation in Mexico becomes more precarious.”
________________
A persistent ‘fear’ that they stoke and provoke at every opportunity, by every available means, with every policy.
Biden will be on the border with Green Flags to signify the start of the race as he mangles the meaning of political persecution. Smells exactly like the CIA backed ISIS group that spurred people to flee Syria and parts of Iraq.
…or they will set fire to gasoline stations, go after civilians, military and government officials.”
^^^ With the exception of burning gas stations, I thought the cartels already targeted civilians, military and government.
Just those that try to stand up against them or get in the way. This sounds more general. We’ll see.
‘F*cking Insanity’: Massive Congressional Spending Bill Says Border Patrol Can’t Spend Funds On Border Security
R-Cons, Bless Their Little Hearts. <<< Bastards piss me off daily.
Maybe drop a little worm in their ear. Russians… open border… ARE YOU REALLY SAFE???
Putin made it clear he does not consider the American People his enemy. The DNC & Bite-me on the other hand….
There used to be a ‘gentlemen’s agreement’ that heads of state et al were ‘off limits’ (Unless you pissed of the Cabal) HOWEVER the US Politicians are TARGETING PUTIN. So all bets are off may now be in play.
Eine kleine King Crimson Lieder….
This song was originally developed by a very different version of the band — a four-piece with Adrian Belew on guitar and vocals, Bill Bruford on drums…..and Tony Levin on bass and Robert Fripp on guitars (and “Frippertronics”). It’s actually cool that it holds up as well as it does to the larger band, being that it’s a quirky, pseudo-personal song.
Part of my recent interest in the band is that there’s a new documentary out about the band. Ed Driscoll reviewed it (anyone else having trouble with Instapundit lately?). — https://pjmedia.com/columns/ed-driscoll/2023/01/04/king-crimson-n1658763
I’ve been a fan for years, so it started generating some odd associated thoughts….
In the meantime, back at Fripp Manor….
Oh, wait, that was supposed to be —

Assuming most of the twenty are satisfied with the rumored McCarthy concessions, I’d wonder if they’d need to hold off with their vote till the end of the first round of roll call and vote at the very end to preclude any sabotage by disgruntled RINOs?
That one video clip sounded like the roll call might be alphabetical…
Agree.
But my understanding is, after roll call votes are run through the alphabet, they ask for anyone missed or wanting to change votes. <<< That is regular legislation. I’d guess it fits voting for Speaker also. Dunno.
OK, thanks 🙂 I’ve never actually fully watched the process…or deliberately observed paint dry!!!
Nor have I. Although, having done lots of painting, maybe watched paint a few times.
I’ve watched hubby paint when he removed me from the process of being a “slop artist” in our 3/4 bath in our first home. It was a funny role reversal where I was slap dash & get it done & he was precision detail-oriented. If the new owners didn’t re-do that bathroom there are probably still remnants of my sins visible 😉
Good strategy. Disgruntled RINOs may be losing out on their perceived leverage or committee assignments. <<< Good by me. Hope my POS Congressman, Amodei loses out big time.
“Good things are coming.”
Yeah, right. More RINO bread and circus bullshit.
Screw you, MTG. You are a sellout.
The first (January’s) Full Moon of the year is called the Wolf Moon.
Driving back to the Village last evening, I saw the Wolf Moon – !
It was big, beautiful, silvery white – and floating in a soft glowing pastel pink and aqua blue sky – over the landscape of soft gray and dark green trees, green rye grass with black angus cows, fallow fields….
GOD is the Supreme Artist! Using media human artists can’t fully appropriate or approximate – light, time, atmosphere, depth, motion, physics, chemistry – our Creator makes beauty that we try, but can’t duplicate.
AMEN!!!
Beautiful & Amen!
wonder if these “wolf moon” pics might show
I saw it last night and this morning! So incredibly beautiful. Seeing the moon and stars are my favorite part of trips outside to walk the dog.
OK – about that “WEF calling pedophiles the saviors of mankind” article.

Here is another Nugget of Truth. UNIPARTY IN ACTION!
Kevin McCarthy Used FTX Funding to Sway GOP Primaries and Take Out MAGA Favorite Madison Cawthorn
Nov 20, 2022
“A nonprofit that does not disclose its donors, Americans for a Balanced Budget, gave $830,000. 👉 Most of the rest of the money, $700,000, came from Ryan Salame, an executive at crypto currency exchange FTX U.S., a major donor both to McCarthy’s own operation and to other groups backing McCarthy’s favored candidates. 👈
But at least 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗙𝗧𝗫 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗵𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗱𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗞𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗰𝗖𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗵𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗠𝗔𝗚𝗔 𝗹𝗮𝘄𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀.
The Washington Post reported:
WOW. All making sense now. UniParty making sure it retains Shadow Government control.
I think this is the FTX donations:
It is from: https://unusualwhales.com/
From my BIMD on Arkansas – FWIW – both Boozman and Cotton are Establishment GOP like so many Senators. Cotton is pretty sharp about his links so he is not on this list. Their HR are more conservative.
Our Senators in TN can lean Establishment or MAGA – Marsha has always been that way. Haggerty was Establishment, nearly RINO before PDT turned him. He’s much more MAGA now. They would know to stay out of the FTX mess as well.
𝗜𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗥𝗜𝗠𝗔𝗥𝗜𝗘𝗦!!!
If the Uniparty gets their choice wearing a Republican skin as well as a democrat, then they do not give Schiff which the serfs ‘choose’
Tommy had a great analogy.
Please listen to the few minutes starting at 50 minutes to 52 minutes.
They start by talking about the winners always rewriting history & rewriting and rewriting…. They then go on to say they do not trust Musk. Tommy then says there are people put in place to lead us to“GLORIOUS FAILURE” … If you do not want a revolt, you have to pretend they are in a game. It is like elections…. It is like the government is playing Mortal Combat and the Constitution says we have to be allowed to play too. The Constitution is like the mother and so, the government gives us a controler THAT IS NOT PLUGGED IN and loses a couple times to let us think we are still playing…
https://rumble.com/v23o9y2-what-we-missed-ep-9-tue-900-pm-et-.html
Amen
Tells us a lot about the republicans lawmakers who support McCarthy.
Those who stay strong against him have risen in my respect for them.
As others have rightly posted – Ivermectin – TT. No matter what form. It has worked for me.
I need prayer warriors if so inclined. I am firmly convinced we have a friend’s daughter who is a now a victim of the Covidians. It’s not a pretty story, so skip on by if you do not want to read. I understand.
40 years old with husband and 3 year old son. Celebrated the son’s birthday with her mom, family and friends earlier in the week. She and her mom are teachers in the local schools and run in that circle. She is a special needs teacher.
Solid marriage, attend church regularly, no known serious health concerns. All her family and friends she runs with lean Democrat and are fully vaccinated and boosted. Still – good people who share with all and are concerned for others.
You know where this is going.
After the son’s birthday party that evening that went well with a lot of laughs and good times, she went into another area of their home that night and hung herself. Committed suicide.
Her family and friends are devastated. Wifey had contacted our friend, her mother, to express our sorrow with offers to help and pray. Her daughter provided no note, no advance warnings, nothing. The two had enjoyed Christmas shopping together and prepping for the son’s party and Christmas since school break.
They have kept her body on life support for organ harvesting which is being done now.
I can easily jump to the conclusion of the jabs causing it. Trying not to, but my gut is my gut on it. Appreciate any prayers you may give to ease this family’s suffering and the life the son will have without his mom.
Appreciate it.
TradeBait2
OMG, this is dreadful. Yes, prayers for the repose of the soul of the deceased and for her family.
Yours Truly is not a doctor, but given that this young woman had no serious health issues, was under 50 years old, but was “fully vaccinated and boosted” —
IMO, her death sounds like the result of “onset of psychosis after COVID-19 vaccination.”
Yours Truly believes that there is some element in the COVID-19 “vaccines” that interfere with / alter the mechanism of, the amygdala in the brain. The amygdala is a part of the brain that processes emotions and behavior — including stimulating the body’s sympathetic nervous system into the “fight or flight” response.
We see it the same way RDS. Thank you for the prayers.
I think there is a good chance this is right, and I think we’ll see more of it.
this is a horrifying tragedy–God help them All…especially that precious little boy 😭 🙏
Thank you.
NO WORDS…
Comfort and prayers for the family.
Prayers for your friends and their family. So sorry for the son who has lost his mom.
Thank you, Barb.
Stunned. Stopped me in my tracks. Prayers for little guy and family.
Thanks, bud. Words cannot express…
terrible.
prayers for the suffering.
clearly, darkness is descending.
Thanks you smiley.
OR the Darkness we have been living with all this time IS BEING REVEALED!
You can not FIGHT that which you do not see!
Yes it is disheartening, however we are winning at least some of the battles and slowly the Sheeple are starting to SEE!
…
TradeBait – this is awful.
The depression could be jab related. I don’t want to rule that out because there are so many who for their own selfish political posturing want to declare safety and turn a blind eye to it.
I can tell you that people in my generation are having tremendous difficulties that are just under the surface. I have felt it tremendously – the toll of supporting kids and family while being cut off and isolated during COVID have taken a huge toll on parents.
I have aged a great deal after COVID. Before COVID I took care of myself, didn’t drink, and had good genetics that made me look ten years younger than I am. This was a blessing and a curse b/c I’ve often been the target of reverse age discrimination. Physically, this has taken a huge toll on my body and my brain so that I feel like I’ve aged ten years in a short time, and am not happy with what I see in the mirror. Mentally I’m not as sharp and suffer brain fog, and feel like I’ve suffered brain trauma. My memory used to be perfect, but in the last two years it has faded dramatically.
When I started posting here we just had our fourth child, still newborn. A couple of weeks ago we celebrated her fourth birthday. It is bittersweet because she is beautiful and a joy, but the window has closed, there won’t be another little one coming and all the toddler toys have been sold or given away.
I can accept that I’m middle-aged now and not young; I’ve read Ecclesiastes plenty of times and have tried hard to invest my youth in the right places. But even the best people are not as grounded.
The social isolation (and often ostracism!) is tremendous. The church is not a place for friendships and sustaining relationships anymore. FakeSpace and social media have shredded friendships. Women especially “default” to FakeSpace in their downtime. I get nothing but bad feelings when I log into FakeSpace and avoid it – it has a powerful psychological power, and it’s NOT good. AmazeMart and FakeSpace are the defaults, and FakeSpace amplifies the worst of the world INTENTIONALLY against suburban white women. It DESTROYS their sense of peace, security, stability, love. Even if one avoids it, so many others are casual users and addicts that it’s hard to get away from. The effects of FakeSpace are BARELY understood or talked about but I believe it is as bad as pr0n or drugs. I am not joking, and I think if anything, I’m understating its hypnotic power over its users. Zuck has weaponized psychology against the vulnerabilities and weaknesses of suburban women to eviscerate the stability and happiness in their worldview, all to make a few red voting districts swing blue. He is a sick, evil man, robbing young mothers of happiness and joy.
It is hard to build a network of supportive friends in this environment. I have very few church friends at the moment. Most of my like-minded friends come from the homeschool networks and other parents at the boys’ and girls’ troops. (NOT “scouts”.) Too many of my former “friends” on FakeSpace – friends I had through Bible Studies and served within the church – seemed to go crazy fifteen years ago. The churches have been a tire-fire of stupid with so many pastors who have shown themselves to be just in it for themselves or lacking any discernment in this spiritual moment.
COVID didn’t create this mess. It did add gallons of gasoline to the fire and expose that the commie rot was worse than we realized. It’s hard to see behind sparkling new buildings and facades, and nice clothes, smiling faces, and an infinite supply of cups of latte – but even minor adversity causes fakers to fold like a deck of cards. Meanwhile, the COVID psyop was incredibly effective – people had no idea it was coming.
The understated cause I believe is truly demonic. I believe many people have unwittingly allowed the demonic into their lives. Everything communist and lgbtqiuop and space alien in terms of media, products, and attitudes creates opportunities for spiritual evil and the demonic to have a foothold and presence in life. Yes, I mean literal demons. They hate families and they hate love and they hate children whether 4 or 40. They want them destroyed. They whisper constant lies and attack parents ceaselessly. If they can get the parent they can destroy the family. They are just one suicide away from creating generational chaos. The media has been normalizing suicide and wedging out a space in people’s minds to legitimize it, preparing the way in advance.
I can tell you that four years ago I was in a severe emotional and spiritual place after the baby was born. I was very fortunate that I stumbled into the Qtree – I’m not just saying that to play to the home crowd. I was incredibly demoralized and lonely, isolated. We need community – a human need for a place to belong is precisely that which the enemy has stolen from us and manipulated against us.
To sum it up:
Social Media (esp FakeSpace, where people go live FAKE LIVES and escape REAL LIFE)
Social Isolation
Parental Inadequacy
Social and PsyOps effects of COVID
Physical, Mental, and direct Psychological aspects of COVID + jab
Weak spiritual fellowship and networks
Demonization against Families
Thank you for sharing these deep insights. Much to ponder…
Thank you for your thoughts, michaelh. We share many of the same thoughts on each subject.
Escapism from reality versus doing the work.
We know social media can lead people astray.
The fake spiritualism at church is what is wearing on me. I will not give into it or those who practice it. I will be a huge burr under their saddles until my last breath because I know what Jesus said about it.
The pastor in our church is actually having his financial advisor, who is a Christian, give the message in worship service this coming Sunday. Basically he will be giving a sales pitch for his financial planning services as an employee of NY Life using scripture to support it and justify being in the pulpit.
The deacons are going to hear my thoughts immediately after I do my greeting and security role as I head home before the speaker does his pitch.
Acknowledge your sin. Repent. Be healed. Go and tell others. Do the work Christ commanded. Nobody is exempt, especially theologians, pastors and lay leaders.
I left the church because of the hypocrisy and corruption. I LITERALLY had two different pastors steal HUNDREDS of dollars from me!
Johnson made sure he muzzled and corrupted the Church.
501c3 MYTHS — HUSHMONEY
There is a reason Jesus flipped the tables of the Money Lenders and drove them out of the temple with a whip!
If Tommy Vext and Clif High, are correct there is a group who use the cover of being a ‘jew’ to hide their worship of an ancient (and evil) religion. If attacked they default to “You hate Jews!’ as they did with poor confused Ye.
Dannielle Blumenthal and Sarah Ashcraft Mayer often discussed this hidden group on Twitter, years ago. I’ve grown more and more amenable to the idea, which I didn’t really buy at first.
Sadly, I can find no trace of Dannielle on Twitter any more.
Oh, I feel your post so deeply! I have felt very isolated these past two years.
I lost a whole group of friends to Trump Derangement Syndrome at the beginning of Covid. Not all of them had TDS, just a couple, but that was enough to blow up the group.
My solace has been the Q Tree, a couple of great friends I hung on to, and nature. I would appreciate a church group, but I am afraid I would find what you describe. I do like empty churches, though, where it is peaceful.
I’m sorry for your struggles. So many are having this experience.
Excellent round-up of very good points.
We also need to realize that this DELIBERATE destruction has been decades if not centuries in the making.

And the US government now in power has to be truly INSANE. Look at what is happening in the last few years (in no particular order)

In 1998 I had a dream about Russia invading the USA.
I do not have to have a prophetic dream to see a Russian invasion across our UNDEFENDED border by the Cartels with their China Connection and by Russians. Heck, now that MILLIONS of MILITARY AGE ILLEGALS have been scattered across the entire USA, all it takes is a signal and the country can be taken over.

Evil has settled into society at large
Im there with you. I dont have 4 but 1 with almost no support system and homeschool is busy, after covid and surgery im physically run down too. We somehow have to find a way out of that.
Q tree is a lifeline.
Been noodlin on your post, since I first read it this morning.
My past ~three years simply terrible.
So many of my bedrock beliefs, destroyed – evaporated, before my eyes.
Bright side, I have DW. Doing OK with adult kids.
Loneliness, shunned, massively disappointed… Daily Stress Never Ceases…
Prolly, only one major difference from your post.
All of that said, I, WE, move forward, steady as a rock, For Our DW and kids.
Standing, unyielding, with my, our, core beliefs. ZERO, Go Along, To Get Along.
I’m sorry to learn of this. Depression isn’t always visible, and for women can be tied to any number of issues having nothing to do with the shots.
It’s always what you don’t know that comes back to haunt. Hopefully, faith and a faith filled community will get them through it.
The system – government, medical goons and Pravda News MUST publicly ADMIT Jabs injure, handicap AND kill.
UNTIL THEN, JABS ARE Front And Center, when unexplained shit happens.
Obviously other things injure, handicap and kill. BUT, we are living in a world of Covidiocy lies, that MUST be reckoned with.
NO shade for all the ongoing evil.
As bad as the jabs are, suicide and women suffering from depression that is frequently silent is still around, and has been for a long time. I wouldn’t rule it out.
Nor was I.
Thank you, DePat. People are rallying around, but unfortunately for those who did know her and the family the idle gossip is starting.
We are staying available as they seek answers and closure that may or may not happen in this world.
Oh, what a terrible situation! I thought you were going to say she had a “sudden death,” which would have been bad enough, but the shock of the way this went down will be hard to recover from. The poor boy, his birthday will always be tainted as an anniversary of his mom’s death. I will pray for this family and all affected.
Thank you, TT. Prayers are what they need. I appreciate you.
Very very sad. Im sure there were earlier factors involved but like things with the shot it absolutely does so much damage.
Prayers given.
Thank you for them, giloo.
Yw.
I’m sorry for your loss.
I’ll add the following only so that people here are warned and can watch out for their loved ones. There’s a strong link between unexpected suicides like this and antidepressant use. It happened to someone in my extended family. He was a teenager at the time, doctor put him on Paxil, he killed himself shortly after starting the prescription. Ten years later, the FDA finally put a black box label on Paxil warning that it causes suicide, especially in teenagers. I’m not dismissing that injections may have been part of it, I don’t know, but the direct links between antidepressant use and suicide have been out there for a long time and doctors still hand that stuff out like aspirin without warning their patients. If you want to believe the CDC statistics, one in five women over 40 is taking them. That’s your late friend’s demographic right there.
Good point, Sadie. My wife will eventually be able to have that conversation with her mother after some time to recover from the shock.
Good info.
This is just devastating. I’m so sorry, and pray for her soul, as well as her family.
Do I think it may have been the jab? Yes. I also believe that DP could be right, and it’s not related to the jab. Sadie could also be right, that she was given antidepressants, and had a bad reaction. That’s horribly ironic.
There is something else, also horribly ironic, and the media will NEVER tell us about this. We need to think about it. I’m not saying it was operating here, but who knows. Were there any obvious jab deaths close to her?
Take a look at this.
https://nypost.com/2022/07/30/lisa-maria-kellermayr-commits-suicide-after-covid-vaccine-threat/
Initiallly, we may think (as the media is pushing) that it was harassment that drove her to suicide, but no – what if it was GUILT? What if she realized down deep that she was WRONG, and had killed many of her own patients? What if she finally did the math?
I think there may be jab guilt among those who pushed the jab, perhaps against their own better instincts, and then regretted it.
This is where Jesus is correct, again, as usual, and forgiveness is key – IMO.
People tried to do the right thing. Sometimes they were MEAN about it. Sometimes they were damn little Hitlers about it. Sometimes they even killed some people, thinking they were saving others.
Yes, perhaps there need to be consequences, but driving people to suicide is wrong, and karma is not a Christian ideal to be wished for.
I won’t speak for others, but I will choose to be careful, because we are likely ALL making mistakes, and Christian forgiveness IS – I believe – one of the main principles and ideas that has been driven out of society by the woke ideology.
Not to be stupid – we must be unyielding and resolute – but we must be forgiving, at some important level, IMO.
This would not surprise one bit. Did not have time for the video interview with Logan which is over an hour. DOD deep in the mRNA jab.
https://vladtepesblog.com/2023/01/05/press-release-on-department-of-defense-creation-of-mrna-vaxx-and-more-as-per-sasha-latypova/
Posts(s) many months ago, perhaps a year. Malone indicated some of his mRNA research was DoD sponsored. I cannot recall the details. But read it here QTree. Yea, I understand Malone did lots of stuff for DoD, IC world. But, Malone stated mRNA research and DoD in the same article, or whatever it was.
DoD could of pulled back the reigns assuming they didn’t have a nefarious purpose. That they didn’t means they did, so CDC, FDA, Fauci etc.. are not off the hook and this dismisses nothing of all that we’ve learned. It just means the rabbit hole is deeper than even we suspect. The Peter McCullough vid (below/above) seems to lend to this.
Problem is ALL OF GOVERNMENT….
If you want to know exactly WHO within government then look at WHO bought Pfizer, Moderna and J&J stock and WHEN! Also WHEN they sold it…
“….As prototypes used under EUA during PHE, Covid countermeasures, including “vaccines,” need not comply with the U.S. laws for manufacturing quality, safety, and labeling….”
Well that certainly explains the poor quality control Dell Bigtree and Dr Cole were finding in the lab!

I think he may have been about to blow the whistle and they got rid of him. Remember he HAD TWO KIDS… any bets he had them vaccinated and then checked their hearts and found damage?
OH, and the reason they are ALL in on it? They BOUGHT STOCK in Pfizer Moderna and J& J during the Pump & Dump. They then sold it when the CEO sold his.

BE MY VOICE
BABY LIVES MATTER
JESUS LOVES THE LITTLE CHILDREN
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.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER

Sicknick’s family sues Trump for wrongful death.
https://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/ny-brian-sicknick-family-sue-donald-trump-wrongful-death-capitol-insurrection-20230106-3dfkxr2zzvdrrmbjifmxcfni6i-story.html
Going nowhere, that mom of his is one messed up money grubbing TDS flaming liberal.
It has already been determined what the cause of death was.
Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick Died of Natural Causes After Suffering Two Strokes Day After Jan. 6: D.C. Medical Examiner
AND there is another problem. It can be PROVED the POTUS offered lots more support for the Capital Police in the form of National Guards that the Mayor and Nasty the Pig TURNED DOWN. — OOPS another BACKFIRE!
Of course since it is DC they will probably award millions just for yucks…. And then POTUS can counter sue in Florida.
Frivolous lawsuit. The attorney who filed it should have his/her bar card yanked.
I suspect there are forces behind this, the people who are pushing the narrative that Trump is an insurrectionist, the ones who continually harass him to make the public think he’s a bully. This is an awfully weak case if they hope it can keep him out of office again, but they will not let up. I wonder who convinced her to bring this suit and how much she is being paid.
It doesn’t matter if it’s weak.
The YSM can harp on it endlessly until people have it fixed in their mind that Trump must be at fault, if not legally then morally, then when the case starts, it just fades out of coverage and the finding for the defendant gets buried on page J-43.
Yes, that’s the strategy.
In fact, after it became plain that almost no one believed Anita Hill, they simply beat the drum for the next decade…after we had moved on. THAT was enough to convince people, retroactively, that there must have been something to her slanders against Thomas after all.
Make what you will of this, but it claims Matt Schlapp is a pervy homo who sexually assaulted a male Herschel Walker staffer.
“The staffer, in his late thirties, recalled that while he drove Schlapp back to the hotel, Schlapp put his hand on his leg, then reached over and “fondled” his crotch at length while he was frozen in shock, calling it “scarring” and “humiliating.” When they arrived at the hotel, the staffer said Schlapp invited him to his room. The staffer said he declined and left “as quickly as I could.”
He informed the campaign about the incident the next morning.
When the staffer got home that night, he received a call from Schlapp—shortly after midnight, according to call records the staffer shared with The Daily Beast—to confirm that the staffer would still chauffeur him to an event in Macon the next day. The staffer described the call as “short and perfunctory,” but after confirming he would drive him, the staffer “broke down.” He then recorded a series of tearful video accounts detailing the evening, which he shared with The Daily Beast as well as with two people close to him, including the staffer’s wife.”
https://currently.att.yahoo.com/att/herschel-walker-staffer-matt-schlapp-010722523.html
If true I dunno why the guy didnt pummel the snot out of him.
Channeling Pgroup, ‘pictures or it didn’t happen’.
Eek. Well the guy was driving at the time. Dunno.
What about stopping the car and tell Schlapp to get out of the car? Could not be easier.
Right? Then call you boss or the cops.
That is true. One is not helplesss
What stops people from doing that is the status of the offender. I’m not making excuses, but it’s why Biden gets away with fondling women and children, etc. (Just once I’d love to see a woman stomp on his foot with her high heel.) People are afraid to say something because they don’t want to do political damage to their party, or they don’t want to hurt their own career, etc. Unfortunately, not everyone has your level of courage! And people aren’t being taught proper boundaries or to stand on principle, either.
I am not impressed with states but others might intimidated.
LOL. Never said I agreed with his policy. 🙃🙃
I have slapped many guys just trying to do what supposed Schlapp did. Are we dealing with soy boys ? One needs to stand up against personal violations without making a public spectacle. I never had problems when I put people in their place. Nice thing about age do not have to deal with it anymore 🙂
Exactly. Like the little boys getting hysterical about a teammate’s apparent death on the field, many Americans have come to prioritize and internalize abject emotion, IOW abject stupidity.
True 🙂
Haha. Strong will and being encouraged to protect yourself goes a long way.
Yes thy were different times and growing up with brothers helped.
You went easy. I picked the guy up and slammed him against a brick wall.
Wow did not have a brick wall but sounds good 🙂
Some things make the guy seem credible, like the fact that he reported it the next day to the campaign and others, but other things make me suspect him. These statements make me want to slap him into reality:
Of course it’s not okay (if it happened). Man up and say no. Good grief. And:
He didn’t have to do anything. But the article says he texted Schlapp about being “uncomfortable last night,” and all Schlapp did was ask him to call. I think an innocent person would have said, “What do you mean, ‘uncomfortable’? Nothing happened to make anyone uncomfortable,” and the like. So that looks fishy, too. I don’t know what to make of it.
Totally do not believe the staffer. JMO. He is not inherently implausible, but the details do not sound right.
OTOH, many Americans are bereft of common sense and grown-up judgment.
I don’t know why Schlapp hasn’t put out a statement that he didn’t do it. That would have been the first thing I would have wanted to do. I checked his Twitter, and there are no tweets from today. Maybe a lawyer is advising against it, but the more time that passes, the worse it looks.
You might be right and I’m not saying Schlapp is guilty, but I don’t think it looks good for him either. If I had been falsely accused like that, not only would the staffer have gotten a text from me about it, but the world would have heard me denying it from the get-go.
Looks like Schlapp is “triangulating”. Will post in today’s daily.
I think thats a great perspective. Who weeps about it as a guy?
This is a lot like the M.O. of a male pedo who used to hit on local hitchhikers when I was a kid.
He would have them retrieve a porno mag from next to the seat and open it up on their laps. Few or no women on the pages – mostly gay couples or bi trios. He would then “point” at the pictures to cop his feel and try to stir up some action.
Thankfully I was warned about the guy, and refused to get the mag. He was very frustrated, trying to talk me into it! 😂
This was back when pedos were rarely if ever violent – more of an annoyance. Crazy times, but perhaps better in some ways. But as hitchhiking grew unsafe, pedos also become nastier.
Oh man. Thats still terrifying. Glad you were ok.
so you were a hitchhiker…hmmm 😉 betcha got a few more stories there boss!
I do. If the time is ever right, I may drop a few.
you might need yet another persona avatar for That since Steampunk Wolf isn’t quite the right vibe 🙂
“Freedom’s just another word for nothin’ left to lose
Nothin’ ain’t worth nothin’ but it’s free”
Horseshit.
👍
A plausible denial by Schlapp would be “I did not _____ (sexually harass, fondle, touch inappropriately, etc.) the staffer. I will be watching for that.
Weak denials that offenders use:
“I would never do something like that.”
“I love my ____ (wife, husband, girlfriend, child, etc.).”
“That’s not me.”
“The allegations are false.”
That last one sounds good, but it isn’t a direct denial. It might be used if there were multiple accusations of different crimes, but the normal instinct, when accused of doing something you didn’t do, is to say, “No, I didn’t. I didn’t do that” (whatever that is). If accused of murder, would you say, “That’s not the person I am” or “I would never hurt someone,” or would you be angry and say, “I didn’t do it”?
A good macro and micro discussion of the mind/shadow/information war that is being waged all around us that we address in our own ways on here.

Electrolyte Deficiencies Provide Warning Signs for Severe COVID (theepochtimes.com)
Electrolyte Deficiencies Provide Warning Signs for Severe COVID
The association between illness and electrolyte imbalances isn’t a new concept, but it’s come back into the spotlight more recently, with recent studies examining electrolyte imbalances and COVID-19.
The results are quite interesting, as they reveal possible diagnostic opportunities and therapeutic interventions to help reduce the severity of COVID-19. Also, a correlation has been found between low electrolyte levels in the year before someone contracted the virus and higher mortality.
The relationship between the severity of COVID-19 outcomes and low levels of specific electrolytes suggests that they could be an easy predictor for those who may develop severe disease. Also, early prediction of critical cases through testing for specific electrolyte imbalances may help identify patients who will likely benefit from early therapeutic and preventive measures that could reduce mortality.
What this means is that those with COVID-19 need to have their fluid and electrolyte levels closely monitored, as imbalances can reflect disease status and progression.
Possible causes of electrolyte imbalance in COVID-19 patients include fever, sweating, vomiting, diarrhea, dietary changes, drug-related side effects, hyperventilation, the direct effect of the virus on infected host cells, and the malfunction of organs during the disease.
A balance of different electrolytes is crucial as many automatic processes in our body rely on them. When electrolytes get depleted, our cell signaling and communication functions weaken, further compromising our body at a time when it needs to be stronger and more resilient.
The Science Behind It
Multiple studies point to the importance of four electrolytes that are essential in the fight against COVID-19: sodium, magnesium, calcium, and potassium. A review of these studies, published in Annals of Clinical Biochemistry in 2020, suggests that low electrolyte levels are directly linked to disease severity and weakened recovery.
Clinical data from 12 studies show that 59 percent of people with COVID-19 have low levels of calcium (hypocalcemia), according to a review published in Immunity, Inflammation and Disease in 2021. The results show hypocalcemia is significantly associated with the severity of disease, mortality, the number of hospitalization days, and admission to the intensive care unit (ICU). Calcium is involved in the regulation of the inflammatory response, metabolic and signaling, and plays an important role in the survival and virulence of viruses.
Magnesium plays a role in immune response, reduces inflammation, is a muscle relaxant, is a vasodilator (widens blood vessels), has antioxidant effects, and protects the nervous system. As a result, magnesium levels affect the health of the cardiovascular, nervous, respiratory, and digestive systems. Low levels of magnesium (hypermagnesemia) in COVID-19 patients who were admitted to the ICU have been shown to be one of the signs of disease severity, according to a study from Iran. The study recommends that magnesium should be added to the panel of tests in routine COVID-19 testing.
In a study from China published in JAMA Network Open, a journal of the American Medical Association, 93 percent of severe and critically ill patients had below-normal levels of potassium (hypokalemia). The study found a direct relationship between the degree of hypokalemia and the severity of COVID-19.
Another smaller study published in the Canadian Journal of Kidney Health and Disease evaluated the prevalence of low levels of sodium (hyponatremia) in COVID-19 patients and the correlation between hyponatremia and the severity and outcome of COVID-19. It found that hyponatremia patients required significantly higher rates of ICU admissions and oxygen support.
Finally, an extensive study (published in Nature in 2021) was done in the United States that looked at the entire medical history of more than 100,000 COVID-19 patients to understand key markers associating mortality and health states that are more likely to lead to ICU admission and mortality. It concluded that those who experienced imbalances in their electrolyte or fluid levels in the year before they contracted the virus were more likely to die than those who didn’t.
How to Ensure Our Optimal Electrolyte LevelsEveryone’s body is different, and electrolyte levels are affected by many factors. Getting a serum electrolyte test done would be a great first step to see where you’re at and if you need therapeutic intervention.
Gatorade or most store-bought electrolyte-boosting sports drinks are definitely not the answer. Many contain toxic dyes and are packed with excessive sugar, making them more sugar-heavy than electrolyte-heavy, which is detrimental to your health.
Having a well-balanced diet is crucial for maintaining optimal electrolyte balance. There are excellent food sources for you to main electrolytes.
Good Sources of Potassium
Good Sources of Natural Sodium
Good Sources of Magnesium/Calcium:
Optimal electrolyte levels are crucial for COVID-19 recovery and mortality and can be part of the puzzle in mitigating severity. The good news is that we can help our bodies have a better chance of fighting off the virus and improve our general health with a good understanding of the importance of electrolytes and keeping them at optimal levels.

Fox reporting NO DEAL – Kevin fixing to lose again
The record for number of votes before a speaker is elected is 111.
We’ve got all the time in the world.
He got 5 new votes so far, will still fall short at least by 10.
We should certainly be in no hurry to do anything before September 30. The Omnibus bill spent all the money until then, so there’s no reason to appropriate another f’in’ dime.

Yes, you got a few. But five say they will never vote for you no matter what (a sign of sterling character on your part, ha, ha, ha) and that’s enough!
Step aside, you scabrous dumbfuck.
Round 13…five votes against already, however many are not present and that alters the dynamic.
And Dungsmear is TOAST again…!

So are these waves acting up in support of Gaetz and company, or Dungsmear McCarthy?
Oh, I think these waves are coming from Mexico due to their arrest of El Chapo’s son.
From alaska and due west i believe.

The story I’m hearing is they’re hoping Buck and some other R who was out today, will be back.
Alright! AWESOME!!!
I checked Elon Musk’s Tiwtter to see if there was any word on the Fauci file. I didn’t see that, but he said this:
And he posted this very cool video from SpaceX:
Hmm…maybe he’s losing his nerve?
Or maybe he’s just embarassed because he opined on the glorious shitshow we’re seeing in the House.
Could be Elon is getting the ‘treatment’.
He did say habits are hard to break, so I don’t think he’ll completely refrain from stating political opinions. He is probably taking a lot of heat for supporting McCarthy. IMO, this is a great learning process for him.
I hope that is my new refrigerator! I NEED one like that.
The King Dog video clip is my favorite!!!!! Sent round the world in 10 seconds!!!!
Heart thump for Mom and/or Dad who set that up!!! The idea solves so many dilemmas!!!!
Bannon is HOT. He, John Fredericks, and Mike Davis are all smelling a BIG trap. They think Kevin made a deal with Jeffries. All Hakeem has to do is send some Dems home or have 20+ vote for Kevin at midnight, and VOILA! Speaker McCarthy it is. Even if the R’s that caved reverse their vote, it won’t be enough. All the rules that he caved on, he then wouldn’t have to abide by. And then he will be beholden to the Dems. You think the omnibus pizzed us off, you ain’t seen nothing yet.
Friday 10pm sure is an odd hour to vote, now isn’t it???
Yours Truly is not surprised. The DeepState is doing whatever it has to do to have McCarthy as Speaker of the House. McCarthy, after he wins, will of course walk away from any “deals” he made with any Republican House members.
Yes, this is exactly the kind of thing I expected. The RINOs/Left always find a way to be in the driver’s seat. I hope I’m wrong on this.
The other scenario mentioned earlier sounds more likely. Waiting till 10pm to ensure some Dems who have be out socializing, miss the vote and the two missing folk show up.
Yeah, big screams if this is done. You’ll know when you hear the first Dem cross over. Would it be at the end of the roll call starting with the T’s or W’s to avoid a counter move? Or late voters after the first roll call is called and before the voting moves to the stragglers?
Good reason for enough of them to have jumped to McCarthy by the 13th roll call after securing all their concessions from McCarthy and ending this.
As is the gambit continues but this time only to get McCarthy to step down. Likely?
I’d say not. We still have the potential then for this to turn sideways which is the above, or as shown in the Bacon vid with more graphic detail, or to turn South which is Repubs voting for Jefferies to protect their fiefdoms, however Bacon doesn’t seem to be taking that way right now so hopefully that one is off the table. He’s talking going side ways and it’s still sounds very ugly.
Careful, seems the tweet was written for the Demonrat crowd. The story where it came from may be more palatable.

Yes, and of course.
Kevin publicly gets in bed with D-Rats WILL send conservatives away from GOP/RNC in droves.

Better not happen. Better to take the gains and play again later.
Gaetz resigning is the last thing we need.
Bingo.
He should wait a couple of days, then cane McCarthy to within an inch of his life on the Floor of the House.
There’s precedent.
No reason for Gaetz to resign if Kevin colludes with D-Rats.
Gaetz would be more effective fighting the bastards from the inside.
But, I do understand his sentiment.
No way Kevin was not getting in. They put up a good fight but McCarthy will get his revenge. He will just have to be smart about how he does it.
The Freedom Caucus best move is to form their own party and become their own voting block. Either the R’s work with them, or they show their hand and work with the D’s.
I hate every one of these rat bastards who caves in and votes for McCarthy.
I guess we’ll see who has principles and who doesn’t.
I’ll tell you this; if I said ‘no,’ the asshole could promise the moon and the stars and I would NEVER change my mind.
Wolf Moon and all —
Today’s rabbit hole led Yours Truly on the start of something that, IMO, may be important. This is an ongoing endeavor. It has to do with a tie-in between the original COVID-19 virus itself and the COVID-19 “vaccines.” Please bear with me. Apologies in advance for the length.
The story goes back to AZT (Retrovir / Zidovudine), the HIV/AIDS drug developed quickly in the early 1980’s to prevent or treat the disease. Its use was suspended after cases of severe adverse reactions were reported. However, it is now used as an HIV/AIDS preventative or treatment, available either in capsule form or as an IV treatment.
HIV/AIDS infects, among other things, the CD4 and CD8 cells of the body. The virus also damages the IgG3 “good fighter” cells of the body and causes an increase in the number of the igG4 “tolerate but never clear” cells of the body. HIV/AIDS also damages the liver. THE USE OF RITONAVIR IN HIV/AIDS TREATMENT ALSO CAN DAMAGE THE LIVER.
The COVID-19 spike protein (both in the virus itself, and ALSO in the COVID-19 “vaccines”) migrates to, and lodges in, the liver, among many other areas of the body. The spike protein can damage the liver. The spike protein also invades the CD4 and ACE2 cells of the body.
The COVID-19 spike protein in the “vaccines” destroy the IgG3 “good fighter” cells and causes an increase of the IgG4 “tolerate but never clear” cells in the body of the recipient. After a person takes their third (“booster”) dose of a COVID-19 ‘vaccine”, the level of the IgG3 cells drops to zero, while the level of the IgG4 cells is large.
Now, regarding Paxlovid: This drug, quickly developed by Pfizer-BioNTech and granted authorization for use by the FDA for treatment of COVID-19 infection, is a “combo-drug” composed of nirmatrelvir (an antiviral) plus ritonavir. it is now known that Paxlovid causes a significant number of “COVID-19 rebound infections” in those who take it. Paxlovid can also damage the liver.
The question related to all the above is, Why is an HIV/AIDS treatment drug being used to treat COVID-19 infection? The answer may be found somewhere in the following:
First, there is the makeup of the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) spike protein itself. There are two subunit proteins within the virus’ makeup chain, S1 and S2. There is a “space” between these two subunit proteins on the chain. This “space” is a potential area where “inserts” can be made into the spike protein. Apparently, COVID-19 “vaccine” developers have experimented with this option, moving around / changing the location of / lengthening or shortening, this “space.” What is NOT known is EXACTLY what, if any, and in EXACTLY what amounts, if any, of any “inserts” into this “space” that were done by the “vaccine” developers in the process of creating their products. What IS known is that there is at least one “insert” between S1 and S2, called PRRA, in the original Wuhan Hu1 COVID-19 spike protein. This “insert” apparently has a direct effect on the interaction between the spike protein and the cells that it invades.
Second, there is the ongoing inclusion of the original Wuhan Hu1 COVID-19 spike protein in the “booster shots” by Pfizer-BioNTech and by Moderna. The original Wuhan Hu1 strain is no longer a real threat; yet, the “enhanced” form of this spike protein that was developed by these companies for their original ‘vaccines” (BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273) are folded into the formulation for their “booster shot vaccines.” This leads into the discussion above of the zero level of the IgG3 “good fighter” cells and the growth of the IgG4 “tolerate but never clear” cells in the body of a person after they get a ‘booster shot.” Assuming that the Omicron BA.4 and Omicron BA.5 strains that are also in the “booster shots” are much less lethal than the Wuhan Hu1 strain, the question is: Why is the Wuhan Hu1 strain in the “booster shots”? The answer appears to be, to make sure that the level of the IgG3 cells remains at zero, while the level of the IgG4 cells grows — thus guaranteeing that the immune system of the recipient is permanently damaged.
Third, there is the connection between how the HIV/AIDS virus damages the liver and the immune system, and what appears to be some real similarity with how the COVID-19 “vaccines” damage the liver and the immune system. Recall that Dr. Nathan Thompson did the seminal work here, by testing his healthy patient’s blood after the patient took both shots of a COVID-19 “primary series vaccine.” Dr. Thompson, by using a CD4 – CD8 immune system blood test that is routinely performed for HIV/AIDS patients, found that these markers in his healthy patient were as low as those seen in an HIV/AIDS patient.
Yours Truly is NOT making a claim that there was a deliberate attempt to insert HIV/AIDS markers into either the original Wuhan Hu1 virus, OR into the COVID-19 “vaccines.” That will need to be proved by professional researchers and doctors. What she IS saying is that there are “strange coincidences” here that need to be investigated. What she is ALSO saying is that the immune system damage to people who took COVID-19 “vaccines” appears to be somewhat in line with that done by HIV/AIDS.

Yours Truly: This paper was written by scientists at an FDA facility in Silver Spring, MD. It was published in May, 2021. Therefore, the FDA knew that there was at least one “insert” into the COVID-19 spike protein that was not a natural occurrence.

BTW, just love the use of “known.”
LOL! I’m still reading things. Hold on!
I love in this one how the Chi-Bot researchers IMMEDIATELY virtue signal to the Western drone editors that they’re “obeying the science”. Hilarious Sgt. SchulTzao behavior!
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41392-020-00363-9
One more great example of how Chinese socialist science is corrupting global science.
I some ways, it’s beautiful, because HCQ and ivermectin are GENERAL treatments! Perfect way to talk back to the authorities.
The PRRA article is good, but I had to go here, because the link didn’t work…..
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.07.20.213280v1.full
While I strongly suspect that PRRA was not a natural mutation, I think it’s ambiguous enough that most regime-kowtow scientists simply believe that it is natural, and try not to question that too loudly or to the point of troubling their consciences.
Overall, I think we’re seeing things the same way.
Retention of Wuhan in the formulation may have some kind of antibody rationale, but IMO they have been keeping it present for some kind of pathogenic effect. The immune degradation effect would be an excellent candidate.
Likewise, the addition of ritonavir doe not strike me as passing the smell test. But let’s say that – in the same way that remdesivir was used for (primarily) causing kidney damage, then it might make sense to include a drug that does liver damage.
Thus, this would fit the model in which Fauci, Walensky and Pfizer are still angling to fulfill some kind of depopulation order.
You know, I have an idea. I think that the shadow world government never recognized Trump as President, and thus that Obama literally REMAINED the “World Gov” president of the United States.
THAT would mean that the secret bots like Fauci and Walensky were still taking orders from Obama. THAT would explain a LOT.
Yes, it really would explain a lot, wouldn’t it?
Like all those times when Trump went somewhere in the world, and Obastard went right behind him.
I am so tired of that motherfucker. I have never hated someone so much.
He was quite damaging!
AND he probably not even an American!
Why he will Always be The Usurper & never POTUS except as de facto…
he still IS!!!
This right here ^^^
Conversely, Trump never recognized the occupant as President, and Team Trump is still taking orders from Trump.
Kiddo dropped and broke my Chromebook today. An hp from costco about 3 yrs ago.
😨😢😢😢😢😫
Any recommendations on what brand model to replace with?
He is paying for it.
I’ve had exceedingly good service and products from this company:
https://www.techforless.com/
Bookmarked, thx.
I’m sorry about your Chromebook, and sorry for Kiddo too.
The cost of a Chromebook would have set me back several years worth of allowance earned for taking the trash out and cutting the yard and shoveling snow!
With that kind of debt load at such a young age, it might have forced me into a life of crime 😂
Scott, why do I think you are ALREADY in a life of crime?
LOLOLOLOL!!!!!
“Scott, why do I think you are ALREADY in a life of crime?”

Nah, I grew up watching Gunsmoke, Rockford Files, Starsky & Hutch, Baretta, Hill Street Blues, Dirty Harry, etc.
Reading Sherlock Holmes and the Hardy Boys.
I always wanted to be the good guy, not the bad guy 😁
Don’t go to bed, with no price on your head, no, no (Don’t do it), no, no

Good taste in TV. I stopped watching when they removed those shows.
Ha. I save pretty much every penny he gets for gifts and he has enough for an inexpensive one. I just have to see what the compared cost is now. He was terrified and i was not happy. Hard for both of us. He put elmers glue into an antique desk lock i have about a year ago that ive got to get fixed. It’ll probably be a 2fer.🤷♀️
Is the antique desk lock still in the desk, or is it separate? Is it brass, or iron? Have you tried cleaning it yourself?
Its in a secretary desk, still in place. Brass. Old style key. I didnt take it out yet and didnt want to open the lock itself to look. Best thing ive got going is its regular school glue.
Regular white glue, even when dried, softens in warm water. If the lock is brass, it won’t rust in warm water. Take it out of the desk, drop it in warm water, take it out and toothpick/floss it every so often (or, better yet, put gilkid in charge of this process), and see how far you get.
Hmmm ok. Ill see what we can accomplish there. Ty.
Can’t say Costco prices beat anyone else, BUT, the above, is important in my buying decision process.
Thats true. I checked and they dont carry hp so i have to look around and see if my basic brain needs to stick w hp or i can navigate other brands.
You’ll find a lot of Dells around — the problem with those guys is that they have interfaces that look normal but are customized for Dells. This means that you can have a blown motherboard in a desktop, change the motherboard, and have the Dell power supply fry your new one. Alternatively, you can blow your power supply, swap a generic one in, and fry your Dell motherboard.
Oh boy. I just remember something about not liking dell. Asus was always for gaming, im not an apple person, so hp just fell in the middle.
Did he break IT, or just the screen? You can have the screen repaired. Look to local cell phone or iPad replacement companies. They normally need about one to two hours.
And if it is the screen, a TV could be used as a monitor.
Well i guess i dont know. The screen is showing a shattered image but the computer itself is whole. I called only 1 computer repair guy who said most places dont work on them dt minor retail market share. He gave me the number of a place he refers to for things he doesnt do, so ill call them tomorrow.
Is there a video jack of any kind? Might be able to put the display on a monitor if you have the wires handy!
Otherwise, just sounds like a cracked screen. That’s good news!
Hmm. Im going to check a repair place tomorrow and see what they say. I flipped out but with a bit o luck maybe youre right.
You might try the repair shop OR a cell phone repair place.
BUT – the repair cost may be as much as a new unit. Chromebooks are meant to be commodity devices and are easy to replace.
I don’t know what Costco’s return policy is, but I bought my Chromebook at Best Buy in 2015. They have a 2-week no questions asked return policy. I returned two(!) Chromebooks before buying a third.
So you can go ahead and buy the replacement Chromebook. If the old one is salvageable, then you can return it. Just a thought.
I cant return to costco. They used to be no matter when but its far less. Im outside that. The repair guy said most people dont repair bc you are right, its cheaper and their market share is about 3%.
You might peruse https://www.woot.com/category/computers/laptops?ref=w_cnt_cdet_pc_4 and https://www.amazon.com/s?k=renewed&rh=n%3A172282%2Cn%3A13896615011&dc&link_code=qs&qid=1673057250&rnid=2941120011&sourceid=Mozilla-search&tag=moz-us-20&ref=sr_nr_n_2&ds=v1%3AFOf7Op5HYpiYCjJHnTAR2y2SER9QzlLoZ9ITETFJVxA
Have a caution on Chromebooks — ChromeOS just dropped support on a bunch of them.
Hmm. I wonder 8f thats why costco doesnt carry them online now. I will go over there tomorrow and see what is in store. My Chromebook is intact but the screen has the shattered image? Like he killed it but didnt break.
Screens are the most fragile part of a Chromebook/notebook.
Well he nailed it hard on the floor. Only a 4 ft drop but hit just so.
On that woot site, i think the one i have is the hp 14 in white. I found my receipt from then, $305.
Take a look at Newegg.com and see what kind of deals they have. Laptops aren’t my thing so I don’t have a specific recommendation, but I do like using Newegg for other computer-related purchases.
Link to Chromebooks:

2nd newegg referral. Interesting stuff they have.
I should also ask what you are planning to do with it. As an example, I tend to favor underpowered laptops with large screens. I don’t ever do gaming, and I hate squinting.
Right. Lots of video supplemental stuff for school. Watching history, science, and math. Educational videos and my movies. Writing and basic research. I had a 14 in screen. No way ill go smaller. I dont do gaming. A 17 would be lovely.
Gil – It really depends on what you want.
It is a safe bet if you’ve been using a Chromebook. I like ASUS.
Avoid ACER like the bubonic plague.
On Chromebooks I recommend these specs
4GB RAM minimum
Full HD (1920×1080) display, 14″
2x USB
For Windows/x86 laptop – lots of people on here recommend avoiding Windows, and that’s fair
16GB RAM
Windows 10/11 64-bit Pro, or Ubuntu Linux
Full HD (1920×1080) display, 14″
2x USB
HDMI or Displayport Output
USB Type-C Power
Bluetooth 5
256GB SSD minimum (prefer 512GB or 1TB)
Costco has good deals, I don’t usually shop there.
I like to look for open-box specials at MicroCenter and NewEgg.
Favorite SitesMy favorites (in order):
#1 Micro Center
https://www.microcenter.com/
If you buy a refurb from Micro Center, you can pick it up the same day, and for returns, you just bring it back. Good return policy.
All told, I would recommend buying local for refurb before shipping online. I’ve gotten excellent support from Micro Center and they are very professional.
Last October I tried to buy Tiffany’s laptop from Micro Center as an open box, but when I tried to order it off the website they had already sold it. So I bought it from New Egg instead. But I did buy myself a low-end refurb desktop for cheap and I’ve been happy with it.
#2 New Egg
https://www.newegg.com/
I’ve bought new and open-box specials from New Egg.
#3 Tiger Direct
https://www.tigerdirect.com/
I’ve bought a lot of refurbs from Tiger Direct over the years…
#4 Best Buy
https://www.bestbuy.com/
I bought my Chromebook from Best Buy years ago, they had the best deal.
Best Buy doesn’t have very good deals on low-end Windows laptops. But they are worth looking at.
We’ve ended up getting a lot of Nintendo Switch accessories at Best Buy.
#5 Adorama
https://www.adorama.com/
Adorama sometimes has good deals – mostly camera supplies.
#N Amazon
https://www.microcenter.com/
Yeah, I’d rather buy from Walmart…
Ty. I think a lot of tech folk like newegg and microcenter. Locally im limited to costco and best buy but im looking around. Costco online sells asus, i think that was all.
Gil:
Here’s the Costco Chromebooks:
https://www.costco.com/chromebooks.html
I’m looking at the Dallas Warehouse and I see several ASUS Chromebooks.
4GB is the minimum RAM for a Chromebook to be usable. I will be honest, I think 8GB is better. I have a 2015 Chromebook w/ 4GB RAM and it was entertaining trying to post pictures during rally threads.
ASUS 14″ C433TA 2-in-1 Touchscreen Chromebook – Intel m3-8100Y – 1080p $379.99
https://www.costco.com/asus-14%22-c433ta-2-in-1-touchscreen-chromebook—intel-m3-8100y—1080p.product.4000021224.html
^ This one has a touchscreen. Don’t know how much you like that but this one flips around to use as a tablet and a laptop. It has 8GB RAM and a nice CPU. If you want a Chromebook, I don’t think you’ll go wrong with this.
ASUS 14″ C424MA Chromebook Laptop – Intel Celeron N4020 – 1080p $329.97
https://www.costco.com/asus-14%22-c424ma-chromebook-laptop—intel-celeron-n4020—1080p.product.100807283.html
^ This is a standard Chromebook with 4GB. Faster CPU but not faster than the other models
ASUS 14″ CX1400 Chromebook – Intel Celeron N3350 – 1080p $269.99
https://www.costco.com/asus-14%22-cx1400-chromebook—intel-celeron-n3350—1080p.product.4000024352.html
^ This is the slowest on thelist, but it comes with a protective sleeve and an optical mouse. I wouldn’t spring for this one, unless I was expensing it for work.
ASUS 15.6″ CX1500CKA Chromebook – Intel Celeron N4500 – 1080p $249.99
https://www.costco.com/asus-15.6%22-cx1500cka-chromebook—intel-celeron-n4500—1080p.product.4000022278.html
^ This is a BIG HONKER in the Chromebook world, 15.6″ display. If you stream video a lot, or if you need a bigger screen for poor eyesight, this is the one to consider. This one is $369.99 with $120 off manufacturer’s savings – I would read the fine print and figure out what that means. Is it a rebate or some other gimmick?
Ty. Big help. We use it for homeschool videos, science etc. A 14 in screen is ok but bigger is easier on the eyes.
Found this a bit shocking, but RIGHT ON…..
SAVED!

Good job!!!
Very nicely done.
In fairness, a whole lotta R-Cons should be included.
Can anybody give me a reason not to just give up on the Repukes altogether if they can’t find enough honest ones to keep a swamp rat like McCarthy from the Speakership?
There were 20, now there are 7 no votes. So 13 were for sale, for some price.
Are there no people who aren’t for sale anymore?
What do you think they could have offered Sam Adams to sit down and shut up? How about George Washington? Or even the everyday citizens risking literally everything to ensure freedom from tyranny?
I am approaching the end of giving a damn. About any of it.
We’re sending encrypted messages in comments, now?
Oh, crud — I just realized what that bit of snark now keeps you from doing. Appy-polly-oggies.
HALP!!! WOLF!!! I DONE SCREWED UP!!!
It’s okay, makes for great divider for what comes next.
I have no idea what’s going on here.
-Sgt. Schultz, apparently!
Eggplant commented a large clump of….er, something….and I snarked on it before she could edit it, which makes it uneditable.
Oh — it turns out she DID edit it before I screwed it up.
Emily Litella.
I had to refresh the page to see that it was gone.
Encrypted Curse I think… and there’s no taking it back now 😆
Lol, that took me a minute to figure out! Fixed.
Russians.
“Can anybody give me a reason not to just give up on the Repukes altogether if they can’t find enough honest ones to keep a swamp rat like McCarthy from the Speakership?”
I am awe-inspired by your righteous indignation.
You are totally right. They don’t deserve our support. At all! At all!
Thank you. I am utterly disgusted. Boebert just voted “present.” Damn her for a coward.
House is in session. Rep Garcia (R) just finished speech nominating McCarthy.
Sound up.
The House has reconvened. Citizen Free Press has the feed.
https://citizenfreepress.com/breaking/watch-live-house-votes-for-speaker-day-two/
They’re voting now. I’ve heard a lot of “McCarthys” and several “Jeffries” so far.
Boebert just voted “present,” and the chamber erupted in applause.
What a chickenshit she is. All mouth and no spine.
“Present.”
Really, why didn’t you just go home?
Could it be part of a strategy?
Who knows? I guess I’m about hoped out.
OPINION: She has two whole years to addition for CNN or K Street. She barely won re-election so she needed a deal to have RINO backing for the future. All she had to do was vote “present.” That amounts to almost certain re-elect. The politician’s ambition is the pursuit of power. That defines and explains her behavior. What is amazing to me is that it only took two years in DC to apparently turn the gun toting cowgirl into a swamp dweller. It truly is an insideous place.
Disgusting.
Doesn’t think that’s right. Her vote was Hern? Not seeing anyone in the Present column. Over all 7 did not vote for McCarthy so we’ll see another round.
Crane, Good, Harris, Gaetz, Boebert and two others… didn’t catch the names.
This is vote that is ongoing right this second. She voted present. And apparently Gaetz didn’t vote. Another chickenshit asshole.
Crane just voted for Biggs. (I’m not watching the whole thing.)
I’ve got the video up and muted. I go look when I can stand it. I’m so sick and tired of this crap.
It sounds to me like the voice doing AOC in the bad lipreading video is the same voice that did Sarah Huckabee’s voice during the WH press conference video.
It’s down to Gaetz. He said he would NEVER vote for McCarthy. I guess we’ll see if he has any integrity, or not.
OPINION: I am always surprised when politicians act with honor. I simply don’t believe it is a natural trait of their characters.
I have to sadly agree.
Jenna Ellis’s take on what’s going on…..

VOTE FAILED!!!!!!!!!!
NO MCCARTHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
👏 👏 👏
🙂
I am hoping and assuming the flippers (and folks who switched to “present” which is technically NOT a vote FOR Dungsmear) got something worthwhile…to US…for their switch.
I reserve the right to doubt it.
I was trying to edit out “and assume” when you replied.
I am hoping…cautiously…the flippers, etc.
As some would invoke. Pictures or it didn’t happen. 🙂
The problem is assuming the moderates will vote for the rules package. As much as these 20 want their changes, there are even more that don’t.
This means the rules package only applied to this session? So these votes were made with that rules package in mind, and McCarthy still didn’t win? If correct, then they would have to renegotiate the rules package? But if some (Gaetz) will not vote for him in spite of it, they won’t have enough votes, right?
Three members didn’t vote.
If just two of them would have been McCarthy votes, he now has it in the bag.
(or if one was McCarthy and two merely “present”
No. McCarthy agrees to their terms and makes a rules package. That is not getting voted on until the Speaker vote happens. When they vote the rules, the moderates will just vote against it.
Well, this matches my hopes.
Couldn’t D-Rats side with keeping Kevin?
Great minds, once again…😂
Couldn’t any Dem vote to retain McCarthy at that point? Maybe it would be scandalous for a person of one party to vote for someone from the other party.
One Big Club.
It appears Gaetz voted present.
McCarthy misses again.
Dungsmear got 216 out of 232.
HE STILL FAILS!!!!
YAY!
M – 216
J – 214
O – 4
P – 2
Total – 432 {presents don’t count)
McCarthy doesn’t have enough. Needs 1 more for majority.
Voting now to see if they will adjourn til noon Monday.
😆😆😆😆😆😆
Screw that — adjourn ’til April.
Of which millennium?
Next ice age!
Still holding out to past the end of the stelliferous era, since I probably won’t get “until the last white dwarf goes dark.”
R’s want to adjourn. D’s don’t.
R’s are the majority.
Seriously, adjourn for a couple of months — the money’s all been spent to September. On their way out, laugh at the Senate — “you assholes can’t even rename a Post Office until we get back.”
But they CAN confirm nominees (except for a VP replacement) and ratify treaties. House never had any say in that.
When does the debt limit run out? Adjourn until a month after that.
IF they don’t get a speaker, they can’t get sworn in. If not sworn in, they can’t get security clearances and can’t get briefings. Then we’ll have to listen to Eyepatch whine about it every day.
I seem to be having a bit of amnesia here. Could you please remind me of the last time a Representative getting a briefing did anything worthwhile…..or even positive?
I can’t. Sorry to not be helpful.
Nunez?
Go on…..
just my vague recollection that He made a legit MAGA effort back when he was in office…other political junkies would have to fill in the details. He’s the (practically lone) exception that proves the rule!
Isn’t he running Truth Social now, tapped by Trump because he seems to have operated with integrity, anathema in DC!
The thing is, he got good info in his briefings, was suitably appalled, and then was railroaded into not being able to do anything useful with it. With a rogue IC, briefings are wildly slanted.
iirc he tried to deal w/ things revealed in SCIF’s & was repeatedly thwarted. Sundance used to expound on such things back in the pre-Q-Tree days…details are murky now (for me)
These fuckers don’t really don’t realize how pissed we all are. This is just “business as usual” to them.
I hope Gaetz Rosendale, and the original others hold the line until the system collapses.
Burn it all down. (Figuratively, of course, for any feds reading along)
LOL!!!
Gotta clarify for the morons in the cheap seats.
Taxpayer-funded cheap seats! 😂
Therefore not cheap…for the payer, that is.
YUP.
Never marry a woman named Amandies!
“If you were my husband, I would poison your coffee!”
“If you were my wife, I would drink it.”
Not every wife looks like she stepped out of a ZOMBIE MOVIE.
It’s tied at 217
And despite all his best efforts…
Kevin McArthy is STILL a loser!
Step. down.
The trouble is that he still thinks he can win this.
And I believe he probably can, eventually. But I’m savoring these days of having a few people stand up for us on the national stage for several days in a row, with everyone having to witness it.
This is being made painful for him
And if he’s petty and small minded…which he probably is…he’ll nurse a grudge.
I’d bet on it.
He has grudge written all over face.
I hope he will learn from it. Or if not that, then his feet will be held to the fire on the national stage. No more business as usual where we don’t know what goes on.
Hopefully.
Now it’s not. Vote #’s keep changing…..Looks like they’re staying
THere’s 0 time left on the clock and the #’s keep changing. Alot of the R’s that voted to leave changed their vote to stay.
ONE MORE TIME!!!
Motion to adjourn fails!!! More and more Rs changing vote to NAY.
The (shit)show must go on!!!
FIREWORKS IN THE HOUSE! McCarthy Confronts Gaetz After 14th VOTE — PLEADS FOR VOTES! SHOUTING — GETS HEATED! (VIDEO)
When Gaetz name was originally called he wasn’t there. They recalled his name because he didn’t respond the first time. I bet he deliberately left the room so he could be the vote that kept McCarthy from getting speaker. When Gaetz came back he voted present. I think Gaetz was taunting him. Made me happy.
Well, that he went to the men’s room and sat an 8’x10′ of McCarthy in the urinal before using it might be a clue….
Amen.
^^^ I like it!
I hope Gaetz can pull this off.
I don’t think voting McCarthy in tonight (which didn’t happen), with the concessions package, would feel like victory. It would feel as if the RINOs pulled one over on us once again.
The vote failing again is what feels like victory. That is what makes me feel that my voice is being heard, NOT McCarthy winning with concessions — though that might eventually happen.
McCarthy nominated again…
Motion to Adjourn Doesn’t Pass – 15th Vote Coming Up
Joe Hoft thinks Gaetz and McCarthy worked something out and that the Repubs look happy.
Y’know, I’m beginning to suspect that the exercise of becoming the Speaker is a demonstration that one has the ability to be Speaker. If you can herd cats and horsetrade with people who hate your guts and get things done, you’re in….if not, you don’t belong there anyway.
Yep.
Biggs and Boebert – Voted Present
Gaetz will be up pretty quick.
Last time he didn’t vote until the end. (I don’t know how that gets arranged.)
They go alphabetically, If they miss their place in line they vote at the end.
Crane – Present
Donald calling.
New concession — McCarthy wears a shock collar; Freedom Caucus holds the button.
LOL!
Next concession: It delivers 200A at 20kV
Nah. Commoners take turns controlling the button. To much fun, testing the button. 
This could solve the GOP’s fundraising challenges.
Gaetz – Present
Good – Present, Clapping
That leaves Rosendale, who should vote Present. So McCarthy will fail again unless a Dem crosses over.
Gaetz votes present; Dungsmear limited to 216.
Without someone stepping through the door or a Dem switching their vote away from Jeffries….he fails again!
Rosendale didn’t vote.
Hopefully he’ll come at the end? Did he talk to 47?
McCarthy finally wins.🤢
I don’t see how. 216-211-5 he has no majority.
That’s what the chyron says.
We’re going through the ones that didn’t vote.
Rosendale just voted Present.
Thought he needed 217. Did Dems go home?
Chyron disappeared.
Bleah.
😡
MTG gave him a big hug glad I did not loose my in-stinks about her.
Yep, Dems went home. We got screwed.
428 total, the last vote there was 432
McCarthy got 216
Jeffries got 212
Present 6
There were 434 present total…No one went home.
Last time. She just announced there was 428 total votes. So 4 Dems left. 215 is majority.
“Present” means they were in the room.
No one went home.
Present doesn’t count as a vote, apparently.
According to Congress, “Present” is a vote, not a state of being.
Geez. DO THE ARITHMETIC.
228 votes cast = 216 for McCarthy, 212 for Jeffries.
But there were also 6 present.
NO ONE WENT HOME, but they were not included in the vote total.
Gotcha, present votes don’t count. Only 428 do, and 215 is majority.
So by Gaetz voting present, he might as well have voted for McCarthy?
Kinda, He didn’t officially add or subtract to McCarthy. It’s as if he didn’t vote at all. Which ultimately added to McCarthy.
None of the presents counted.
Thank you.
You’re very welcome.😍
