I attended the Life Surge event in Columbus on Saturday.

What I found were several Ohio State football legends helping funnel financially illiterate Christians into an obvious financial scam.

I'm a medical doctor, but I had to leave the system to tell the truth.

Most of what you’re told about your health is incomplete or completely wrong.

You’re stuck in a system that profits from your symptoms, not your healing.

In my Substack, I write the truth I wasn’t allowed to say inside the system.

If you're exhausted, unwell, and unheard, say hi! 🙌

sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

Not everyone is celebrating Mother’s Day today

Some of us are grieving. Some are quiet. Some of us are mourning a mother who is gone. Others are grieving a mother who is still alive, but no longer in our lives…

I wanted to share a painfully deep & private part of my life publicly for anyone who feels heavy today.

Grief. Estrangement. Mother…

It’s about damn time. AOC is a hero. She’s one of the best out there, fighting daily against Trump’s fascist bullshit.

We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾‍♀️.

Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

Off topic election thoughts;

Really looking forward to moving past Election Day. Walked into a long line that went out the door at the poles early this morning. Haven’t seen this before though I usually vote after work. With the presidential democrat candidate that didn’t receive one vote, is completely unqualified and can’t seem to answer a question without rambling on and on, it’s hard for me to understand how this election is so close.

Not sure if you knew, when Kamala Harris was DA in San Fra…

I wanted to tell you what happened to me at the polls this AM. I am in NH at least 4 nights per week so that’s where I vote. They check ID’s here which is great! I got my ballot, filled it out and went to put it in the hand counting slot, there’s a sign there. I always put my ballot there because I don’t trust the machine for all of the reasons that have been discussed. The woman there stopped me and said no just put it through the machine so I told her I prefer it hand counted. She said ok but…

WOW! This is crazy to hear- I’m so happy you went back & requested your name be removed from that “list”! Sounds like a red flag to me- in regards to jotting your name (& possibly others), that prefer to have your ballot hand counted. I don’t like the fact machines with software are used for ballots & recording those votes- I always complete my ballot at home (CO mails ballots out); after I finish voting & filling in the circles, I hand carry my ballot to my county voting precinct, & inside the…

I pray DJT wins as well Patricia. So the head election lady couldn’t find the list, she eventually did and placed it in front of me. She tried to show me a letter from the Secretary of State saying to make a list of peoples names that wanted their ballot hand counted. I told her I don’t care who said to make the list I don’t want to be on it, it’s illegal to make a list of names period. The ridiculous thing was there was only my name and one other name of ballots that were put into the hand counted slot. Hard to figure out which one was mine, it’s the bottom one of the two. ?????? Unbelievable. The other thing is she didn’t ask my name or look at my license she went right to my name and scratched it off, again she knew who I was. I felt as though I was in a micro milgram experiment, would I just go along with the authorities? I just wanted to vote and go to work instead it turns into a real nerve racking pain.

I appreciate the fact you went back & asked to have your name removed from the list- My thought & question is, what were the intentions of the SOS? What was the election-head-lady told to do in the event a voter wanted their vote hand-counted? Then, you had a moment after your name was already on the list…I’m a curious cat!

James Goodrich's avatar

I should have said no I not giving you my name from the start. The poll lady showed me a letter from the Secretary of State saying to get a list of people asking for hand counted ballots. She mentioned they may reach out to me and explain that there’s no need to hand count the ballots. I stopped her and said I don’t want to be reached out to. I don’t care who wants my name on the list I just don’t want to my name associated with my ballot on a list period. I want my privacy and my ballot to be …
