MARK 2:1-12
1And when he returned to Caper’na-um after some days, it was reported that he was at home. 2And many were gathered together, so that there was no longer room for them, not even about the door; and he was preaching the word to them. 3And they came, bringing to him a paralytic carried by four men. 4And when they could not get near him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him; and when they had made an opening, they let down the pallet on which the paralytic lay. 5And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “My son, your sins are forgiven.” 6Now some of the scribes were sitting there, questioning in their hearts, 7“Why does this man speak thus? It is blasphemy! Who can forgive sins but God alone?” 8And immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they thus questioned within themselves, said to them, “Why do you question thus in your hearts? 9Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, `Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, `Rise, take up your pallet and walk’? 10But that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins” — he said to the paralytic — 11“I say to you, rise, take up your pallet and go home.” 12And he rose, and immediately took up the pallet and went out before them all; so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this!”
SATIRE!

“BREAKING: Trump announces plan to dismantle the censorship regime: 7-year ban on FBI/CIA working for big tech including defunding NGOs and private contractors that receive funding for ‘disinformation’ monitoring”
______________
So beginning in year 8, we’re right back where we are now, and every year thereafter a whole new ‘class’ graduates from their 7 year exile and re-enters the moneydome.
Make the ban permanent.
Take away the incentive for criminals to enter government as a stepping stone to personal wealth.
The system as it currently exists is designed to attract whores and murderers and murdering whores.
Maybe he’s just trying to start a discussion. [only half sarcastic]
A discussion.
Reminds me of a classic Wizard of Id cartoon. One of the King’s servants runs up and exclaims, “Great news, Sire! Only half of your subjects want to see you boiled in oil!”
“What do the other half want?”
“Kerosene.”
The system as it is cannot be fixed. The corruption is too deep. Happens to all “Great” nations so it is all down hill from here. The only question is, is the decline gradual or do we just go over the cliff with a bang. A few decades at most.
“The system as it is cannot be fixed.”

Just like Egypt did.
Just like Myanmar did, even easier than Egypt did, because without the muzzie brotherhood, there was practically zero resistance. All they had to do was show up.

“There is simply no other way than to use the military. It’s that corrupt and dirty.” (excerpt)
If you require the military to “fix” it then that just confirms what I said. And you assume that the military will return the gubmint to its original founding.
It is safer to deal with unarmed thug politicians, then military politicians that are fully armed.
That’s debatable.
Sure. But Scott’s assumptions that the military owes an obligation to come in and save the day will also result in a return to normal. History does not prove that out always. And if it does not, then how do you plan to deal with an armed gubmint that has now removed all of your Constitutional protections?
“And if it does not, then how do you plan to deal with an armed gubmint that has now removed all of your Constitutional protections?”
_____________
The same way we’re dealing with the current gubmint, backed by the same armed military, that has already removed all of our Constitutional protections?
The military has done nothing to interfere with the current state of affairs. Why should they? It is pretty obvious that the majority of people are electing the type of gubmint that they want.
In fact, the people have continued to elect the same bunch of clowns time after time. This is exactly what happened in CA where I lived for decades. You eventually get out voted. The policies you live under become too much of a burden and you end up with one choice. Leave. Unfortunately I moved to CO which is turning into CA 2.0.
At some point you run out of places to go to. This trend will continue Nation wide. As one CA politician said. People leaving CA is great. It spreads the CA life style and liberalism everywhere else. In my case he would be wrong but not in all cases.
Emphasis added.
It is pretty obvious that the majority of people are electing the type of gubmint that they want.
^^^ Zero chance that is true. Dominion. Illegals voting. Mail ballots. Harvesting ballots. NO voter ID. Look at Maricopa’s last election. Courts dismissing cases.
ZERO chance, US election are fair, honest OR WHAT AMERICANS WANT..NONE.
You are correct about the state of the elections. But has the populace done anything about it? No.
So in effect and by default, they have told the cheaters we are fine with it. The election is signed off by the powers that be and everyone goes about their business. In our little world we bitch and moan about it but essentially nothing changes.
Some States have taken action but not the ones we need to make a difference in 2024.
“….But has the populace done anything about it? No….”
….
Well you are certainly NOT PAYING ANY ATTENTION.
I have repeatedly brought to this forum evidence of all that is being done.
Here is your HOMEWORK:
Why We Vote Ep 11 – Tue 5:00 PM ET
(Start at 3 minutes)
https://rumble.com/v24pcuq-why-we-vote-ep-11-tue-500-pm-et-.html
Been hearing this stuff for years. Any day now I am sure.
There are at least two trials that I am aware of. Voter rolls are being cleaned up. People are going after counties to get rid of the machines….
There was even a news article screaming about the HORROR of MAGA taking over the precinct committee positions.
You are NOT going to hear any of this on CNN or even Fox News. You have to DIG IT OUT and that is GOOD.
“The military has done nothing to interfere with the current state of affairs.”
____________
Exactly.
I did not suggest otherwise in my previous reply.
You asked “And if it does not, then how do you plan to deal with an armed gubmint that has now removed all of your Constitutional protections?”
In response, I answered your question with a question:
“The same way we’re dealing with the current gubmint,”
And continued [implied: current government] “…backed by the same armed military,”
And continued [implied: current government] “…that has already removed all of our Constitutional protections?”
All three points were in reference to the current gubmint. It is the lawless, rogue, renegade gubmint which removed (ignores) our Constitutional protections.
The military just sat idly by and let it happen, just as you said:
“The military has done nothing to interfere with the current state of affairs.”
This is your problem. You believe this.
It is the lawless, rogue, renegade gubmint which removed (ignores) our Constitutional protections.
The current gubmint and military does not believe what you do. The population does not either because they are going about their day. Business as usual.
Once you convince them, maybe you will get the action you are looking for.
“This is your problem. You believe this.”
_________
It’s not about me.
But since you have no actual argument, all you have is to try to make it about me.
It has nothing to do with what I believe, anymore than what I believe has anything to do with what the cops are obligated to do with a bank robber.
My thoughts about it don’t matter, the cops have a duty and obligation to act, whether I exist, or not.
Your position amounts to contending that as long as a victim of robbery doesn’t stop the robber himself, and as long as the public doesn’t stop the robber either, then no robbery took place, and the police have no duty to do anything.
That’s just beautiful.
Your ignorant statements as always. You are the one claiming there is a crime. Meanwhile, all the powers that be are focused on prosecuting J6 protesters. Sort of the opposite end of the spectrum.
You are screaming fire and they do not even see smoke.
“It is pretty obvious that the majority of people are electing the type of gubmint that they want.”

Pretending not to know things again?
Like pretending not to know about the rigged Dominion voting machines?
Pretending not to know about foreign government interference (Germany, Spain, Vatican City, China among others) in relation to the Dominion voting machines?
Pretending not to know about the security camera footage of election workers pulling boxes of ballots from under tables after sending non-conspirators out of the room?
Pretending not to know that Soros has backed judges and District Attorneys all over the country to facilitate the steal (among other treasonous acts)?
Pretending not to know about the testimony of obvious voting ‘irregularities’?
Pretending not to know about the evidence presented by Mike Lindell?
Pretending not to know about the evidence presented by Dinesh D’Souza in the film 2000 Mules?
As has been observed by many before, to be a liberal, you have to pretend not to know certain things.
But to believe that the majority of people are electing “the type of gubmint that they want“, you have to pretend not to know a lot of things.
You still don’t get it. What does it matter if all that is true. Whether we believe all of that or not matters little.
The gubmint is installed as is. The cheat was obvious in 2020. Repeated again in 2022. The people did nothing in most places. Some States did. Most did nothing.
You want to blame the military for doing nothing to correct any of this. And yet the people who in theory this gubmint is all about are acting as if it is perfectly fine.
Talk to them.
“If you require the military to “fix” it then that just confirms what I said.”
____________
I don’t require anything, your argument is with Q.
Or perhaps the logic is in seven years it’s unlikely to be the same people running the organization.
The agencies and bureaucrats run the country. In theory under the control of the politicians. It is clear that the administrative State pays no mind to the politicians because they either come and go or they are paid off nicely by big business at the direction of the bureaucrats.
Has anyone seen any indication that Congress is willing to do anything to real any of these folks in. They have one power. Money. And it flows steadily every year with annual increases. And I believe the FBI just received funding for a new bigger and better HQ in D.C.
Planes Trains and Automobiles?
Not quite.

Yup. Disposable Old White Guy is disposable.
Put him in AOC’s never-seen-before garbage disposal.
LOL!!!
They did the right thing, but this is going nowhere. At least votes are on record though.
The votes are only on record because they knew it was going nowhere.
If it could actually go somewhere, the votes would suddenly vanish.
That’s the game.
Whose votes are you referring to? I think Repubs would vote for this in any case.
Not sure about the RINOs.
Karl explained it well the other day.
Karl Denninger: “One of the problems is that functionally none of it, at present, is real. Literally zero. This is the same issue that arose with Obamacare; the GOP voted up repeal time after time, knowing that The Senate would not concur and if it somehow did the President (who’s name it bore) would obviously veto.
As soon as that was no longer true, in 2017, the votes instantly stopped. This is absolute proof that exactly zero of the persons in that chamber prior to 2020 ever intended to repeal Obamacare; they lied from the first day about their intentions.
May I remind you that McCarthy was first elected to Congress in 2006 and held a leadership position in the Republican Party caucus since 2009 — that is, for the entire period of Obama’s Presidency forward.“
McCain sabotaged MEGA and Trump by voting no repealing Obama care.
The Rinos American People voted in and also Democrats fought trump for 4 years plus intel community. MEGA candidates are the way. We have lots of work to do. Only We the People can change things. Gaetz and the 20 showed is how. Stay strong vote common sense not emotion no more Bush, Clinton Obama or Biden. We the People need to vote smart.
AND BECOME ACTIVE IN CLEANING UP OUR STATES STARTING AT THE COUNTY LEVEL…
Yes mine is Trump county.
Uh huh. R-Cons are both a protected class AND a coward class. I’ll give the 20 credit. The rest, not so much.
Waiting to see how many of them assholes for Billions more for Ukraine.
^^^ Waiting to see how many of them assholes, (R-Cons), WILL vote more Billions, for Ukraine.
AND vote to FUND the IRS….

No kidding! Up 30%+ in my opinion.
And in some cases DOUBLED!
Karl Denninger(1-12-23): “If you want to see absolute garbage look at the index for eggs, which they claim was up 11.1% last month. In reality they’ve doubled over the last couple of months, so if you think there’s anything “real” about these figures and they’re not “cooked” to suit the Biden administration you need another hit of whatever your favorite hallucinogen might be.
Let’s look just there; eggs are claimed to be up 60% over the last 12 months. Please tell me where you can buy them for $1.60/dz because they were 99 cents a year ago here and now they’re $4!“
Testing to see if this old Bitchute video publishes…..
https(colon)//www.bitchute(dot)com/video/nP5ssbtx3AmQ/
still brutal…has Anyone “verified” his story???
Not that I know of.
The “200,000” thing sounds bogus. On the other hand, it would be EASY for a trial of any number to be 99% killed, if they got mRNA therapy equivalent to 2 or 3 times the higher Pfizer or Moderna doses. Basically, the “bad batches” of the COVID vaxes are very close to fulfilling his story. Increase the dose, and they WOULD kill at that rate.
So we HAVE the poison – we just don’t have the crime.
We do know that mRNA therapies were FAILING big-time for Moderna, prior to the Plandemic. Bad enough that the companies were going bankrupt. Why were they failing? Well, maybe they were killing patients.
But how many patients?
So the story is TECHNICALLY plausible, IMO, but the numbers – 200K – that’s not plausible, IMO. Is the guy misinterpreting something his docs told him? Maybe.
I suspect that his much smaller trial is the one with the high rate of death, and that the 200K trial participants refers to all the patients in mRNA failed trials – NOT all the patients who actually had heart stoppage or even true risk of heart stoppage.
Thus, I suspect that there is a nasty reality under the story, but it’s not 99% of 200K dying.
That seems a Reasonable assessment, but PROOF would be nice!!!

There is a short video clip of Lisa Marie at the Golden Globes and people are making sure she doesn’t fall as she goes down a few steps.

Man it would be fun to be able to run that fast… by the time he gets to the grass it looks like he’s going at least 70mph 😂
Shelties can sprint in the region of 15-19 miles per hour.
Huh, I thought they were a lot faster.
My Saddlebreds could TROT 14 mph while hauling my wagonette (we timed them) a Standardbred can trot 30 mph and a race horse gallops at 40 mph. (The fastest recorded galloping speed is 55 mph)
There are rumors of cheating husbands fleeing frying pan wielding wives at close to 80mph. But they’re just rumors.
Who wants to chase a cheating husband? I would run the other way 🙂
run over?
That also but then he would not be worth the effort. 🙂
Yeah, but that was IN HUNTER’s Corvette.
It’s 50 years this year – so I thought I’d post Secretariat’s 1973 Belmont. In one of the bios of Jack Nicklaus there’s a story about him weeping in front of the television at this perfection. Those triple crown times will never be broken. 😊
There is a video compilation of Secretariat’s 3 Triple Crown victories. I have it pinned for those times when I get a little overwhelmed. Every single time I watch that Belmont race, I am on the edge of my seat and it always brings tears to my eyes. Simply am astounding performance.
Yes, I saw that when searching. 👍🏻 And the announcer says “Secretariat is moving like a tremendous machine . .” — there will never be anything like it again. Our LITTLE red, local Smarty Jones was the closest thing, at least for me, this century. And even he is 22 this year (his run was 2004). I believe, although they’ve all got a bloodline from the famous ones, that he’s a great-grandson of Secretariat on the sire side.
Gingersmom, Yes, I followed Smarty Jones! He was fun to watch!
😊
Hate to say it, but the better races were Affirmed and Alydar in 1978. Yeah, Secretariat set records that will never be broken, but the other two…wire to wire racing.
“Huh, I thought they were a lot faster.”

Yeah, I’m not buying it either, not if the fastest human can run an average speed of 23.35 mph over 100 meters 😂

How Fast Is the World’s Fastest Human?
By Kara Rogers
“In 2009 Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt set the world record in the 100-meter sprint at 9.58 seconds. For those of us more accustomed to sitting than sprinting, to translate this feat into terms of speed is to simply underscore the stunning nature of Bolt’s performance.
Speed is the rate at which an object (or person) moves through time. It is represented mathematically as speed = d/t (in which d is distance and t is time). That means that Bolt’s speed during his world-record run was 10.44 meters per second. Since many people are more familiar with automobiles and speed limits, it might be more useful to think of this in terms of kilometers per hour or miles per hour: 37.58 or 23.35, respectively.
That’s faster than the estimated average traffic speed for the U.S. cities of Boston, New York City, and San Francisco.
Even more astounding is the fact that Bolt started from a speed of zero and then had to accelerate, which means that his top speed actually was faster.”

A little classic prog — “The Musical Box” —
The essential setup is that there is an antique musical box on an antique shelf in an antique house inhabited by an antique spirit. When wound and opened, it plays “Old King Cole”….
The spirit in the box, once known for its powers of seduction, has been imprisoned within for so long that it has difficulty with persuasion. When it is opened by a young girl, it initially sings sweetly, then begins to command. Just before it gets to “Eleven, ELEVEN, ya COW!!!”, the box is swept off the shelf and broken, and the spell and spirit are dispersed.
As a band, this was the golden age of Genesis — Steve Hackett on lead guitar, Mike Rutherford on bass/guitar, Phil Collins (looking like a total stoner) on backing vocals and drums, Tony Banks on keyboards (except on 12-string guitar for the first half of this song), and Peter Gabriel on lead vocals, flute, tambourine, bass drum, and general weirdness.
Mind you, they were all in their 20’s when they did this.

PCR appears to be blaming the Russians for not acting quickly enough in the past. I think that’s a bit unfair being as it was the west that instigated the ukraine color revolution in the first place.
But if his reasoning of the eventual outcome is correct. Could it possibly be that FBJ’s document hoard “discovery” is a way to get FBJ out and use his exit to put the blame on him and end involvement in ukraine.

Disconcerting. Reasons given are everything between Era of the Mid Wits to Govt Control (Group Think).
I’d lean to the later but the former is not ruled out as it’s part of the process of the later. Since much of new research happens in public & private institutions (edu and biz) one has to assume the big player here is WEF since it has it’s totalitarian mitts in both pots and thus the era of free thinking has been squashed and is coming to an end, meaning stagnation of innovation across the board. Instead of moving into the Diamond Age we move into a Dumber Darker Brittle Age. It’s somewhat akin to the Islamification of the world. I’d go further to suggest there will be a further claw back of existing innovations from the masses and unless it feeds WEF’s purposes it doesn’t happen.
I should do an article. I have a lot of opinions about this.
looking forward to your insights!
Would enjoy reading this one!
Part of it goes back to the Bayh-Dole Act in 1980. That was when technological development was all but transferred from commercial R&D labs to the universities. That killed the end goal of profiting from technology.
Another aspect is the consolidation of the Military Industrial Complex. Science done outside of it and government sponsored labs is increasingly rare.
I’ve said for a long time that if the US falls, that’s all going to be part of it. We’re coasting on technological breakthroughs from the 1970s other than AI, which is problematic and TPTB know it.

Mini ground report
We were back at the University of Michigan hospital complex on Tuesday for my son Josiah’s liver transplant clinic appointment. The hospital continues the mask fiction (but prior to the scamdemic this was fairly standard in flu season). Since we were still recovering from our nasty “cold” & coughing a decent amount I didn’t balk at it. I kept it Below my nostrils the entire time & No one said anything!
There seemed to be a few more people than previously in the hallways, but nothing like pre-plannedemic numbers. The waiting room area continued with paper notices every other seat, even on half of “love seats” warning not to sit there for social distancing purposes. They continued to block access to the check-in desks by a barricade of leaning chairs…I bypassed it by going to the end & speaking to staff around the plastic shield barrier, whatever.
We got J’s blood drawn at the hospital lab (we were the only ones in the lab too, pretty unusual at that time of day & the lab by the entrance was even closed so this could reflect significantly diminished hospital traffic overall) & the bulk of his numbers were unavailable during the appointment, sadly. His white cell count was elevated, likely due to the lingering illness, so that impacted their interpretation of his liver status. We’ll need to get another blood draw in a few weeks, at least a week after he’s completely done with the “cold” & see where things stand then. It’s possible at that point they Might try to lower some of his meds. He’s been on Cellcept now longer since the rejection bout than he was following the original transplant process. He’s also taking double the Prograf/tacrolimus dosage than he had prior to rejection 2 1/2 years ago. He’ll likely remain on Ursadiol for the long term for that drug is not too hard on the system & has some good liver outcomes.
He’d been running low on one of his BP meds & his BP #s still looked good. He’s been off his other BP med about half a year now & that seems to be not impacting him negatively, thankfully, I completely forgot to ask about Ivermectin usage for him so that discussion will likely pend to next time, in about 6 months.
J’s wife came with us for the first time & was pleased to get a bit of exposure to some of his medical needs more directly. I’d pulled out the previous discharge paperwork & J & his wife were discussing the many diagnoses listed. Later his wife admitted that she & her mother recognize that I am more expert on my son’s medical needs than they are so they will perhaps not be so controlling in this arena. It was one of the significant areas of concern leading up to son’s moving out of their HH in that he didn’t feel safe with them trying to “wrest control” of medical management from me…
J went w/ his wife the next day to her local infusion appointment to provide support & to also be learning more about his wife’s medical needs. This seems a positive development to me as they continue to work through their issues.
J’s MIL has been out of town w/ her sister in the hospital in Virginia following a stroke. I believe that this aunt is “jab injured” but don’t know it for a fact…
I’ve been meaning to mention the LGBTQRSTUVWXYZ agenda on display at the public library. Periodically I’ll check the new book selections in the young adult area. They prominently display “Rainbow” stickers on the spine to designate gay agenda characters. There have been a number of YA books I’ve read sans rainbow that also have a main gay character…sigh. Yesterday there were 19 rainbows for 82 books, nearly 25%! Previously I’d counted & the numbers were closer to 10%. I don’t know if this means they are getting more teen gay books, are marking more of them, or the rainbows mean less checkouts (like for me, I won’t even reach for these books) so that the percentage is artificially high given more “normal” books checked out & rainbows ignored. This designation appears to just be in the teen books, not kids, & not adults. I know the library system (regional metro-Detroit w/ 3+ dozen libraries) has gay agenda books for younger kids for I’ve checked some out (like drag queen storybooks geared for elementary kids–yuck) & is continuing to get trans & other depraved agenda items for more & more young kids… 😡
I hit the local church provided food bank for the first of 2 pass outs for January. Arriving about halfway through the distribution time there was a very short line. The food offerings were also lesser this time too. There was no fresh fruit & just a bag of onions & a cabbage for fresh veggies. The did have a gallon of milk but no eggs or cheese nor powdered milk. This was definitely diminished from previous pass outs so this is likely due to the increased grocery costs for the Gleaners distribution center. The salvation message was back with a lovely listing of relevant scriptures by one of the volunteers. There was no prayer offered again, though it used to be a staple in the summer & fall. They had Many volunteers who were very kind in their interactions.
Our guest remains with us, going on 2 months now. I haven’t yet approached him about taking IVM, since it hasn’t caused me any issues, being the household guinea pig. Hubby is concerned for his friend & can tell that he has significant mental/emotional impact that wasn’t there the last time we saw him a few years ago. It remains likely, or at least possible, that he is “jab injured” to some degree. He took the J & J early on in Texas because of job pressures (he worked in healthcare at that time) though was not mandated. His estranged wife has taken numerous shots as her job is affiliated with a nursing school & she feels pressure to comply in that arena. They do not appear to have any mental discomfort with the jabs. I share data about the side effects periodically with our guest but I don’t know if he really believes any of what I share…
Next weekend our son Brandon’s Canadian girlfriend is supposed to be in town & we are to gather the extended clan for Christmas part 2. It should be a time of fun, fellowship, & good food. After that gathering we’ll get visual Christmas out of our hair & get our home back more toward its “normal” setting, in time to relieve just a bit of cabin fever that’s pretty ubiquitous this time of year.
Oh hubby noticed on one store run that one brand of milk had the 2% about $5/gallon while another brand had whole milk for about half that amount. Several areas of the grocery aisles were Extremely picked over with whole sections being empty. Don’t know if this is standard now or more because of holiday demands.
Hope all is well with ALL Q-Treepers. God is good, He will continue to help see us through, no matter what’s coming down the pike. Blessings to All! ❤
OK, so not as “mini” as we could hope 🙄
Too mini isn’t good! 😅
Good ground report! Thank you!
Sounds like Josiah is now a member of a “medical intermarriage” – with double MIL issues (“infusion” perks up my ears – I may have missed the bride’s issues). Sounds like they’re adapting to the realities of that situation. That’s OK – marriage takes work! Very glad to hear that things are being worked out there. 🙏
Infusion is for “colitis” that is a fairly recent development for the bride, but it did at least begin before the scamdemic. She’s had A Lot of digestive issues so currently is living as a vegan after eating regular food for 30+ years…hmmm….
!!!WHEAT!!!
My digestive problems, acid reflux and other problems disappeared after I gave up wheat. Came right back if I eat a sandwich esp near bed time.
Wheat & sugar gives me a lot of gas too. Rice and yogurt help a lot in re-adjusting my gut bacteria so my gut problems have gone away.
She should try completely dropping all wheat products for a week or so to see f it helps.
I think she already is “gluten free” so doesn’t that mean that she’s avoiding meat? Thanks for the tip!
In having yet another discussion w/ the couple I reminded her that my/our perspective before they married was that each spouse would continue to have their medical needs primarily managed by their family of origin, regardless of where they lived. We had No Intention of interfering w/ our DIL’s issues. That was not at all how her family approached our son. It was Very Bizarre & they were in extreme denial of the level & complexity of issues he faced, which really came to a head in the incident(s) leading to Josiah moving back in with us (temporarily?)…Prayer is still needed for there are still outstanding significant issues that remain unresolved…
Good – sounds like they had made assumptions necessary for their control of daughter – likely (I’m speculating) which would keep her in a position to take care of them, or some other important aspect of their being a “stakeholder” in the marriage.
I sure as hell hope the in-laws were not trying to transition Josiah to Baby Castro’s mercurial, mercenary, and murderous Canadian healthcare system. That system is about 2-3 years out from asking transplant patients to commit suicide as the first step of treatment.
Canada issues are w/ J’s twin. That would be a serious nightmare for sure. I don’t know what the issues with the other family are but there are significant disabilities for multiple people so that’s a factor it seems…plus some cultural misunderstandings–J’s MIL is Mexican…
frankly some stuff appears to be connected to someone being an extreme “control freak”, plus having come to Christ later in life so lots of “old man” stuff lingering about…
I always laugh when you say you’re the family guinea pig. Trepidation can be involved with that job, and it takes some courage!
Well given that I’m currently not working if things go poorly for me it won’t affect things Too Much around here!
Glad I could make you laugh, even just a little 🙂
“Well given that I’m currently not working if things go poorly for me it won’t affect things Too Much around here!”

That definitely would not be true, not there or here.
So good thing IVM makes you more better 👍😁
Thx Scott…I’ve still got a way to go to kick this “crud”, let alone the longhaulers…sigh…
Did you take a follow up dose 48 hours after the first one?
Are you not feeling noticeably better?
I didn’t know you were still sick, I thought you had recovered already. I hope you feel better soon!
Yes I took a follow-up dose in 48 hours & just took a 3rd dose about a week after #2. I’m Slowly on the mend but this has been going on almost 2 weeks now. It’s the first time I’ve been full blown sick since I had “covid” more than 2 years ago though so I’m thankful to have gone so long without major illness!
I’m sorry you’re not feeling better (and better sooner). I’m wondering why the IVM is not acting more quickly.
My response to IVM has been as fast or faster than anyone else I’ve read about so far, I was feeling 70-80% better in about 12 hours besides the lingering cough, and 100% better after a few days (except for the cough).
My system has always responded very fast and very strongly to antibiotics too, for whatever that means. Like being too sick to get out of bed in the morning, to being able to go out with friends 8-10 hours later, after taking antibiotics. I’m pretty sure that’s not normal 😁
OTOH, two weeks seems like an awfully long response time for IVM, if it was going to work.
And there’s no reason why it wouldn’t work, if what you have is covid or a similar virus (IVM should be effective against any seasonal flu type virus, as I understand it).
If you are not noticeably better by next week, please remember to mention it. People here who are much more knowledgeable than I am about these things may have some ideas about what might be wrong or ideas about what else you might try.
Feel better soon!
Thanks Scott. When I got covid 2 1/2 years ago it hit me harder & longer than anyone else in the family, pretty rough for about 3 weeks. I have a couple “co-morbidities” that may make me a tougher case to heal. I also didn’t specifically take all the extra recommended supplements from some of the covid protocols.
I’m Definitely over the worst of it, thankfully. My “cold” may have been compounded by a sinus infection too, based on symptoms. We’ve got to get our insurance situation settled down in case it becomes necessary to see a doc/quack in the event we cannot heal ourselves…eventually 😉
I have been looking into Christian co-ops as an alternative to regular insurance. It seems like a viable alternative, but it’s hard to be confident about something like that by reading online reviews, without hearing from someone you know who has personal experience.
And as far as I know, I don’t know anybody who does.
Yeah it’s seemingly one of those buyer beware scenarios. Could be too good to be true or just what the doctor ordered!

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

This kind of technology looks like it would be a tremendous blessing for those who are impaired and can’t speak or move. I can imagine how miraculous it would seem to have such abilities restored, even if in a different form. But as always, if evil, power-seeking people are in charge of something, they will use it for evil. The fight against that evil is never-ending.

He is missing the history of the independent American Farmers vs the USDA. I refer to it as the ‘Farm Wars’ ALL the information I presented here in articles came from these farmers and their supporters.
Realize the backlash AGAINST the USDAs NAIS push was so strong that it made it into the top 15 concerns handed to Oh!Bummer! JUST BEFORE HIS FIRST TERM.
These people were WIDE AWAKE a decade before Trump was president.

the OIE De-population strategy OR vaccination.
What is Depopulation?
on page 31:
She also points to this 2005 homeland Security REPORT.
The current Manual on procedures for disease eradication by stamping out – fao.org
DePopulation via massive killing of the cows OR via the mRNA vaccine…
I can not find the OIE chart I was looking for, however ‘Stamping-Out’ allows much faster ‘disease free status compared to vaccination. This article from the New Zealand Government indicates this.
DIABOLICAL!
“Emergency NAIS resolution passed by the Nevada Cattlemen’s Association.
November 21, 2008″
________________
That’s a great resolution, well thought out and well written.
But any group or association can pass any resolution they want.
How are they going to enforce their resolution against the criminal regime?
Scot,
I was just illustrating that farmers are NOT sheeple.
Actually I was at two different feed stores today. The stock boys were almost as knowledgeable as we are.
That’s Very Encouraging news!!!
Sounds plausible.
It also sounds plausible to me that this is a “twofer” setup.
Hit Trump, find docs on Biden, prosecute Biden, use that as an excuse to both get rid of him and prosecute Trump.
We’ll see what happens.
Here’s a THIRD take, by Cernovich…..
Too Narrow, too Static.
Controlled Opposition… I think that was made clear a LONG time ago.
Yeah, it’s not floating my boat!
“They view DeSantis as more of a threat than Trump”? No.
Biden took the docs when he was a VP …
The President (NOT the VP) can declassify anything
Trump did nothing criminal. Biden, on the other hand, did.
Of course if you are part of a coup, the law doesn’t apply to you… there is no law, except what you say.
And another take …
from rt yesterday … got to love snowden…
“Worth noting that the President seems to have absconded with more classified documents than many whistleblowers,” Snowden wrote, comparing the situation with the case of Reality Winner who “was sentenced to 5 YEARS for just one document.” The former NSA translator was convicted in 2018 of leaking a report about alleged Russian interference in the 2016 US elections.
“Meanwhile Biden, Trump, Clinton, Petraeus… these guys have dozens, hundreds [of documents]. No jail,” the whistleblower added.
Snowden went on to say that “the real scandal isn’t that Biden had classified documents coming out of his socks, because sadly they’ve all been doing it. The scandal is that the DOJ found out about it a week prior to the midterm elections and chose to suppress the story, conferring a partisan advantage.”
(phoenix: yeah … how ’bout that last comment from Snowden? The ‘real scandal’? Yes indeed. The DoJ suppressed… and some think Biden will be removed? I don’t see that happenin’ … regardless whether it does or not, the Neocons will still be running the gov’t, esp the Oval office. )
“I don’t see that happenin”
Yes, people are applying static thinking, not seeing the dynamism that will likely come into play. If anyone has a lock box on congress critters and burrorats you can bet Biden has one and it’s loaded with the latest, juiciest info. Unless he’s going away willingly, then more then likely he’ll have to be carried out.
“…then more then likely he’ll have to be carried out.”
_______________
Dragged out by the ankles, face down, would be fine.
OK, this just gets worse.
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. Dems are long term plotters/schemers/planners. They knew all along how long they’d keep Creepy installed, and always had it planned on if/when/how the removal would commence. They have it mapped out like a flowchart. Election Win-Lose Prep/Continue To Dirty Trump step was the MAL raid. They’re on the ‘lose the mid-terms’ = Yes/Install the Hoe path now which means Joe’s gotta Go, cuz the Repubs are on our azzes looking into our crimes.
Now, the question is, besides being dummer than dirt, what actual dirt do they have on the Hoe? Gonna take more than Willie Brown. Dig deep Anons.
I think Cackles’ fake LEO scandal is the big one. Nobody has cracked what she was doing there.
Well, combine that with people saying she’s actually HIGH all the time, when she’s being juvenile.
So maybe they had something to do with getting her some DRUGS.
