Read the Bible or the Torah. Love your family. Kiss your loved ones. Breathe deeply. Smile.

The rest is meaningless right now.

Thanks for all your great and accurate writing. As our society collapses, those of us who are aware of the almost complete dissolution of our institutions will need to share ideas, observations, and the truth so we can survive and fight these demons.

I hope you and yours have a very merry and healthy Christmas and New Years!

The tweet from the Congress Critter demanding to know why another Congress Critter didn't clap, immediately brought to mind the pic of the one lone man standing, with his arms crossed, amidst the throng of Nazi Salutes. 😢

He's not a Congress Critter, he's a court historian and a "news analyst." And an appalling human being.

IMO our long term goal should be to make sure these people are not the "victors", who write the accounts of history during these bleak times.

To me that would be a fail on our part.

Just my two cents.

Thank-you! Does that make him a future Congress Critter? 😉😊😋

Immediately brought to mind the Gulag Archipelago.

Josh Hawley did even go to the farce much less clap like a trained seal.

Another awesome article, thanks for writing!

A while back I wrote about how Russian 'leaders' mandated that train windows remain down when travelers were going through famine-torn Ukraine.

That's what flashed into my mind when I read about Lightfoot encrypting police scanners.

-----------------

https://abc7chicago.com/chicago-police-scanner-encrypted-radio-news/12571741/

Mayor Lori Lightfoot is defending the city's decision to start the process of encrypting police radio transmissions, a move that will block the public from listening to those transmissions in real time.

> Another awesome article, ...

Amen. I never use the word "awesome" but I would make an exception in this case.

The problem is Prasad still hopes the government will somehow come help his fellow "the real good guys" progressive doctors fix medicine without simultaneously tyrannizing them.

Every day I read that stack I feel like I'm watching an admittedly very precocious, otherwise well-behaved toddler turning his head away from a spoon with a red pill on it.

Well said! He is so smart and thoughtful, but REFUSES to acknowledge any injuries beyond heart. It's hard to stomach from someone I think is so spot on on so much. I keep an eye out frequently for his full revelation, which I recognize may never come.

Expand full comment

he is coming around, getting more disgusted and more radicalized by the day. from his position, he is more useful then Del Bigtree and RFK jr. they are great heros, but no one in the mainstream is going to listen to them until, like Malhotra, they suffer a personal loss that can only be explained by the vaccine.

guys like Makary and Prasad are inside the beast. when they start screaming, you know things are bad

Exactly - Agree Carolyn! While I find docs like VP difficult to listen to sometimes because of their injury denial, I know that THEY are the ones who have any hope of converting my most staunch devout Vax cult friends and family. We need them and I welcome them.

i rejoice in welcoming the likes of Paul Offit into the official- by the new dictionary definition- anti vaxxer club. he voted no against the bi-valent booster only because "hell no was not an option."

that makes him, whether he likes it or not, one of us!

I have no idea who he is, but he sounds like my brother!

Expand full comment

Ha! Yes Word Herder, he's a mainstream oncologist at UCSF who has been openly and loudly critical of lockdowns, masking and mandates for a long time. I love that about him. And he's very smart and prides himself on staying close to the data. BUT, he still trusts the EUA injections too much. But he's great I think for converting mainstream liberals who still watch Rachel Maddow and support the Biden admin.

Well, anybody who can do THAT is okay by me!

If there's one thing you can do for your mental health, do Christmas!

The trends do not look great. The nation is an immoral, bankrupt monster led by hucksters and charlatans. But I consider it my solemn duty to nonetheless be grateful and point people to the hope of reconciliation with God in Christ. It’s the least I can do in response to the many and great blessings of my life. None of which do I deserve.

The attempts at humor and cleverness from politicians and bureaucrats are interesting to think about. My local public health department also tried to convince kids that masks made them superheroes.

These times keep reminding me of some scenes in the Animatrix. If you have never watched it I recommend it, but specifically, humans decide to blot out the sun and applaud themselves for their great plan. The animators show the clapping hands transitioning to skeletons. Then it’s War Fever, and through battle to Apocalypse. If we survive this phase of the Last Days of a Retarded Republic, I predict a new age of Bloody Caesars.

Ain't gonna get that far. But it's not the idiots of govt. that are the real problem, it's their KEEPERS. So middle fingers to them all, let's just have a holiday ANYWAY, right? ^_^
