BREAKING

Remember when we said NY AG Letitia James had the power to investigate Trump tariff-related stock market manipulation and insider trading?

IT'S HAPPENING.

James just confirmed an investigation has been opened.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

I refuse to be the kind of person who loses their mind over a delayed train or lets a spilled coffee set the tone for the whole day.

I want to be the one who stays composed, who sees the good even when things don’t go as planned. The kind of person who breathes through the little chaos and still finds beauty in how the day unfolds.

I want to be soft. I want to be steady.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but EVERY FUCKING RETAILER needs to show the tariffs next to the price -- not just Amazon.

Walmart, Target (where I do not shop), ALL OF THEM. It's a fucking tax, why shouldn't we see it?

I want to know exactly how much trump's tariffs are jacking my prices up. DON'T YOU?

I'm not concerned about the undocumented immigrant with some parking and speeding tickets. I'm concerned about the American citizen with 34 felony convictions who is driving America right into a fucking ditch.

To suggest that these agencies have been captured is to imply that they were ever anything but. We live in dual realities. us, and Just Us. Just Us have been getting away with it for so long that they've taken smelling their own farts to stratospheric levels of absurdity. "Can we get away with this?" yielded to, "He got away with it, damn, did you see that, let's see what else we can do?" to "everyone does it." When someone gets caught and scapegoated, it does nothing to change the underlying s…

The direction of that fork rests solely on We The People. Unfortunately, a significant portion -- maybe even half -- of the The People are completely on board with the status quo. Whether out of pure ignorance, deluded by the propaganda mouthpieces which pass for journalism today, or a willing embrace as they see this is as somehow to their advantage.

Unless enough of The People begin to open their eyes and acknowledge the harsh reality that we are being systematically lied to, the fork to perdition is all but assured.

If I have to change the behavior of other people, I'm in a world of hurt. I look at this whole thing like a weather system - I do what I can, where I can, but I try not to wail and gnash my teeth at the fact that the majority of people won't do what I want them to do.

I'm not trying to suggest altering people's behavior, or even their belief systems. Just getting them to open their eyes even a wee bit and becoming aware of other perspectives would be a huge leap forward.

The sad fact is that a majority of the people are woefully uninformed and as a result make poor choices at the ballot box, which in the end only prolongs and expands the misery imposed on the rest of us. While some may genuinely be unconscious supporters of the totalitarian Left, the end result is still the same.

It seems like the best strategy is an orthogonal one. You have the debate in forums where people who might be curious, or at least have a few doubts, can observe it, rather than going right at them. You don't convince the true believer, but that middle 40% has a chance.

Most autism cases are caused by acute exposures to toxic chemicals — mostly vaccines with smaller contributions from about 10 other toxicants.

When we say "autism is preventable" we mean "keep toxic chemicals out of kids bodies."

The people who get the vapors when we say "autism is preventable" are saying "keep putting toxic chemicals in kids' bodies so that we don't have to examine our culpability in the epidemic."

The entire field of psychiatry saw "antidepressants" destroy their patients and said, yep, sounds good.

The entire field of pediatrics saw vaccines maim the kids in their care and said, yep, sounds good.

The entire field of cardiology saw statins cause dementia & falls and said, yep, sounds good.

Hundreds of thousands of medical professionals are engaged in organized crime.

Historically the ruling class used war to reduce the size of the able-bodied population to prevent revolution at home. Kill off the strong young lads and the Praetorian Guard will still be able to protect the king. The downside risk of course was losing the war. In the late 20th century the ruling class discovered that they could get all of the benefits of war — massive profits and reductions in the size of the able-bodied population at home — via the vaccine program. Instead of the ruling clas…
