On Thursday, there were two stories really overshadowing everything else. One was the hearing featuring Matt Taibbi of Twitter Files fame of the Congressional Subcommittee on the Weaponization of [Government] Stuff. Talk about a dumpster fire. WOW where do the Democrats come up with these people?

Thankfully, Jim Jordan was presiding. Here’s the majority of it rather than putting in countless tweets, people can just fast forward. Sorry to just link it, but the darn thing won’t embed and as of this writing that is the longest video available. This is the FOX feed which will also not embed.

Lowlights here:

From Sundance:

A Familiar Brand of BS from Former DOJ Lawyer, Turned New York Rep, Dan Goldman

The second story is more on Tucker Carlson and the reaction to his release of J6 videos following three specific story lines.

And now for the business portion of the post borrowed from Tuesday:

Guidelines for posting and discussion on this site were outlined by our host, WolfM00n. Please, review them from time to time.

The discourse on this site is to be CIVIL – no name calling, baiting, or threatening others here is allowed. Those who are so inclined may visit Wolf’s other sanctuary, the U-Tree, to slog it out. There is also a “rescue” thread there for members of the Tree to rendezvous if the main site goes kablooey. A third site has been added for site outages of longer duration.

This site is a celebration of the natural rights endowed to humans by our Creator as well as those enshrined in the Bill of Rights adopted in the founding documents of the United States of America. Within the limits of law, how we exercise these rights is part of the freedom of our discussion. In that spirit, though, threats of violence real or hypothetical are out of bounds.

Fellow tree dweller the late Wheatie gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:

  1. No food fights.
  2. No running with scissors.
  3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

And Auntie DePat’s requests:

If you see something has not been posted, do us all a favor, and post it. Please, do not complain that it has not been done yet.

The scroll wheel on your mouse can be your friend. As mature adults, please use it here in the same manner you would in avoiding online porn.

MATTHEW 21:33-43, 45-46

33“Hear another parable. There was a householder who planted a vineyard, and set a hedge around it, and dug a wine press in it, and built a tower, and let it out to tenants, and went into another country. 34When the season of fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants, to get his fruit; 35and the tenants took his servants and beat one, killed another, and stoned another. 36Again he sent other servants, more than the first; and they did the same to them. 37Afterward he sent his son to them, saying, `They will respect my son.’ 38But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves, `This is the heir; come, let us kill him and have his inheritance.’ 39And they took him and cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. 40When therefore the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?” 41They said to him, “He will put those wretches to a miserable death, and let out the vineyard to other tenants who will give him the fruits in their seasons.” 42Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the scriptures: `The very stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner; this was the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes’? 43Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a nation producing the fruits of it.” 45When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he was speaking about them. 46But when they tried to arrest him, they feared the multitudes, because they held him to be a prophet.

Naomi Wolf is being redpilled in a major way.

Dear Conservatives, I Apologize
My “Team” was Taken in By Full-Spectrum Propaganda
https://naomiwolf.substack.com/p/dear-conservatives-i-am-sorry

There is no way to avoid this moment. The formal letter of apology. From me. To Conservatives and to those who “put America first” everywhere.

It’s tempting to sweep this confrontation with my own gullibility under the rug — to “move on” without ever acknowledging that I was duped, and that as a result I made mistakes in judgement, and that these mistakes, multiplied by the tens of thousands and millions on the part of people just like me, hurt millions of other people like you all, in existential ways.

But that erasure of personal and public history would be wrong. 

I owe you a full-throated apology.

I believed a farrago of lies. And, as a result of these lies, and my credulity — and the credulity of people similarly situated to me – many conservatives’ reputations are being tarnished, on false bases.

She then talks about the J6 reporting.

I don’t agree with Mr Carlson’s interpretation of the videos as depicting “mostly peaceful chaos.”[https://thehill.com/homenews/media/3887103-tucker-carlson-shows-the-first-of-his-jan-6-footage-calls-it-mostly-peaceful-chaos/] I do think it is a mistake to downplay how serious it is when a legislative institution suffers a security breach of any kind, however that came to be. 

But you don’t have to agree with Mr Carlson’s interpretation of the videos, to believe, as I do, that he engaged in valuable journalism simply by airing the footage that was leaked to him.

There is much more about that…Then:

So a half of the country has been tarred by association, and is now in many quarters presumed to be chaotic berserkers, anti-democratic rabble, and violent upstarts, whose sole goal is the murder of our democracy.

Republicans, conservatives, I am sorry.

I also believed wholesale so much else that has since turned out not to be as I was told it was by NPR, MSNBC and The New York Times

I believed that stories about Hunter Biden’s laptop were Russian propaganda. Dozens of former intel officials said so. Johns Hopkins said so. [https://sais.jhu.edu/news-press/hunter-biden-story-russian-disinformation-dozens-former-intel-officials-say%5D.

“Trump specifically cited a “laptop” that contained emails allegedly belonging to Hunter Biden”, said CNN Fact-Check, with plenty of double quote marks. [https://www.cnn.com/factsfirst/politics/factcheck_036fb62c-377f-4c68-8fa5-b98418e4bb9c]

I believed this all — til it was debunked. 

I believed that President Trump’s campaign colluded with Russia — until that assertion was dropped. [https://www.americanbar.org/news/abanews/aba-news-archives/2019/03/mueller-concludes-investigation/

I believed that Pres Trump was a Russian asset, because the legacy media I read, said so [https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jan/29/trump-russia-asset-claims-former-kgb-spy-new-book]. 

I believed in the entire Steele dossier, until I didn’t, because it all fell apart. [https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-63305382]. 

Was there in fact an “infamous pee tape”? So many other bad things were being said about the man — why not? [https://www.businessinsider.com/christopher-steele-trump-pee-tape-probably-exists-2021-10]

I believed that Pres Trump instigated the riot at the Capitol — because I did not know that his admonition to his supporters to assemble “peacefully and patriotically” had been deleted from all of the news coverage that I read. [https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-02-11/trump-team-hoping-peacefully-and-patriotically-will-be-shield]

Because of lies such as these in legacy media — lies which I and millions of others believed — half of our nation’s electorate was smeared and delegitimized, and I myself was misled. 

It damages our nation when legacy media put words in the mouths of Presidents and former Presidents, and call them traitors or criminals without evidence. 

It damages our country when we cannot tell truth from lies. This is exactly what tyrants seek — an electorate that cannot know what is truth and what is falsehood. 

Through lies, half of the electorate was denied a fair run for its preferred candidate. 

I don’t like violence. I do believe our nation’s capitol must be treated as a sacred space. 

I don’t like President Trump (Do I not? Who knows? I have been lied to about him so much for so long, I can‘t tell whether my instinctive aversion is simply the habituated residue of years of being on the receiving end of lies). 

But I like the liars who are our current gatekeepers even less.

She ends with:

I am sorry I believed so much nonsense. 

Though it is no doubt too little, too late — 

Conservatives, Republicans, MAGA: 

I am so sorry.

Someone needs to take her aside and say, “y’know, Naomi, there are places where you can go inside and publicly say, ‘I have sinned; I have wronged,’ repent, make amends, and be accepted within…..”

Sadie Slays

SD warned us about these awful cowards switching sides over a year ago. His rant was about COVID, but could apply to any proven conspiracy right now.

Professional Leftists Begin Trying to Retreat from the Consequences of Their COVID Nonsense

The professional political leftists are starting to rebrand themselves as having fallen victim to the “bureaucracy of COVID”, and according to those high-minded people who think very highly of themselves, we are supposed to embrace this new enlightenment from the same people who were demanding our acquiescence to their dictates.

This example of “THE AWAKENING” from an uber-progressive, Ms. Bari Weiss, on a television show, is supposed to be something I am told to appreciate. WATCH:

I/We are expected to appreciate the same people who demanded our acquiescence to every policy that was created by their ridiculous fear, simply because they now admit ‘oops, my bad‘?  Sorry, not happening.

For two years they shoved their intolerant fingers in our faces, destroyed lives and livelihoods, made ridiculous demands in order to sustain their own fear, threatened our children, destroyed the economy, used COVID as an excuse to destroy families and steal an election, attempted to force us to kneel at the altar of their mask wearing and never-ending vaccine crap… and we’re just supposed to what, forgive them?

Fat chance. That sound you heard was millions of us locking the door, turning around to face them, and now the reckoning is about to begin.

I/We need to see these people destroyed with the heat of a thousand supernovas.

The vulgar lies and verbal filth have been extreme for two years as these ideological parasites utilized their microphones and typeset in a brutal attempt to tear down our nation.  We have all been witness.

Anyone trying to convince us this assembly of our union is not tenuous might want to revisit their proximity to reason, because they’re not just out of the city – they’re also out of the same state the ballpark is located in.

David Mamet had a famous saying, I repeat it often because it helps people break the cycle of abuse.  Essentially: …‘in order for democrats, liberals, progressives et al to continue their illogical belief systems they have to pretend not to know a lot of things’…

By pretending ‘not to know’, the professional left carries no guilt, no actual connection to conscience. Denial of truth allows easier trespass, and that is exactly what Ms. Bari Weiss is attempting in that soundbite.

This hate-filled Democrat ideology relies on our willingness to reconcile their presentations and grant benefit within their seeds of doubt.

It is time for ‘cold anger‘ to turn hot.

Sorry, forgiveness is for the next generation…. 

We need to destroy those who carried out this abuse.

Our parents were forced to die alone in isolation while we were forbidden from holding their hand or being with them. Thousands never had the opportunity to say goodbye.

We also know exactly what the covenant of marriage is all about; and it has nothing to do with being forced to stand outside hospitals, screaming in unbearable choking anguish, while our wives and husbands took their last breaths…. ALONE!

You want forgiveness for that?

F-YOU, I do not even remotely possess that capacity.

I refuse to give any “coming to the right side” credit to the vile, intolerant, hate-filled and insane leftists who demanded all the totalitarian bulls**t they now accept as futile nonsense. Weiss et al should be shunned, mocked and cast into the pit of irrelevance.

The high-minded, reach-across-the-aisle crew can continue bleating philosophically about how we must grow our ranks by accepting the newly found recalcitrance of those who have carried out this nonsense. However, the constant granting of benefit to those who abuse us is the epitome of battered conservative syndrome.

Professional apologists for the right wing of the UniParty can keep trying to make the vulture a better sandwich in the hopes that eventually it will stop abusing us. Meanwhile, prudent people, those slow to anger but resolute upon arrival, accept the leftists and Democrats for who they are, toxic abusers intent on destroying the liberty and freedom the aisle-reachers claim to cherish.

The professional political left would like nothing more than their victims to be comfortable forgiving them for their openly hostile attacks. Within that dynamic, the abuser is free to repeat the cycle, and make no mistake – they will repeat the cycle, eventually.

Actions have consequences. We are not fast to the sentiment of hate; we know the damage that sensibility can create within oneself. However, eventually, reluctantly, decisions are reached.

Those who perpetrated these two years of hell need to be held to account, and unfortunately, this type of accountability is so severe in consequence there can be no quarter provided or terms which might provide even the most remote possibility of a reoccurrence.

It is uncomfortable to accept that our response needs to be of such severity that our children will be witness to a visible anger they did not know their parents were capable of. But witness they must if we are to ensure these vile and intolerant leftist creatures are destroyed forever.

I would rather provide the opportunity for my children to forgive me, than to see them forever living in a hopeless land of totalitarianism where freedom and liberty have been dispatched from their lives. At least in the former their choice is possible.

The professional political left must be destroyed with extreme prejudice.

We’ve watched them ridiculing us, the riots, and the lack of support for laws, or their enforcement. We’ve been absorbing all that.

We’ve been exposed to violence upon us by both paid and volunteer operatives of a corrupt political system. We know these things; the media trying to hide it doesn’t change our level of information.

We are not necessarily hateful. This is a sentiment beyond hate, it is far more purposeful.

We literally watched in 2012 as the Democrat party thrice denied God during their convention. The doors to evil enterprise opened by official party proclamation and request. Now we are seeing the consequence.

We notice the liars, even from a great distance – seemingly invisible to the mob. We still held open the door for the riot goer. Mannerly.

We’ve watched our borders being intentionally unsecured. We’ve watched Islamic Terrorists slaughter Americans as our politicians proclaim their uncertainty of motive.

We know exactly who they are, and why they are doing it. We do not need to stand around discussing it.

We’re clear eyed.

You see, this sensibility does not want to exist, it is forced to exist in otherwise unwilling hosts – we also refuse to be destabilized by it. Transgender bathrooms are more important than border security.

Illicit trade schemes, employment and the standard of living in Vietnam and Southeast Asia are more important to Wall Street and DC lobbyists, than the financial security of Youngstown Ohio. We get it. We understand. We didn’t create that reality; we are simply responding to it.

Deliberate intent and prudence ensure we avoid failure. The course is thoughtful vigilance; it is a strategy devoid of emotion. The professional political media can call us anything they want; it really doesn’t matter…. we’re far beyond the place where labels matter.

Foolishness and betrayal of our nation have served to reveal dangers within our present condition. Misplaced corrective action, regardless of intent, is neither safe nor wise. Trust me, the middle of America, and we are not describing a region here, is both SAFE and WISE.

When the well attired lady leaves the checkout line carrying steaks and shrimp using an EBT card, dinner options we cannot ourselves entertain, the door is still held open; yet, notations necessarily embed. These acceptances are never erased. We understand.

When the U.S. flag lies gleefully undefended, it is not laying unnoticed. When the stars and stripes are controversial, yet a foreign flag is honored or celebrated – they may not realize it, but we are paying attention.

When millionaire football players kneel down rather than honor our fallen soldiers and stand proud of our country, we see that. When the FBI sends more agents to investigate a NASCAR garage door than to defend teenage girls in the act of being raped by an Olympic doctor, we are noticing.

When a school community cannot openly pray, it does not mean the prayerful were absent. When a school board tries to silence the voice of the parents, the kitchen table conversation modifies accordingly.

When a liar and manipulator seem to win an election, the underlying irreconcilable outcomes do not pass without observation. Many Americans, far more than the minority would like to admit, know the difference between truth, lies and political agendas.

Perhaps the political left will discover that we perceive their deception the way a long-term battered spouse absorbs the blow in the hours prior to the pre-planned exit; with purpose.

A shield, or cry of micro-aggression will provide no benefit, nor quarter. Delicate sensibilities are dispatched like a feather in a hurricane.

Americans are still tolerant and patient people, the most compassionate and generous people in the history of all mankind, but we are also very purposeful. They could have stopped with us, but they did not. Instead, they came for our children.

You see Ms. Weiss, when pushed far enough, hard decisions are reached…

And you have pushed us much further than simply ‘far enough‘.

Naomi Wolf was a “useful idiot”. I can hope that she can be brought back into the fold.

By contrast, actors like Fauci belong with #ToxicHornetsOnPatios, so their last stop isn’t gravity, either.

kalbokalbs

One of the benefits of being Slow AND Not watching Pravda anything, I had never heard of Naomi, until she was on Bannon.

On Bannon trashing Covidiocy and Covidiot Injections…

Gail Combs

Naomi Wolf and Matt Taibbi I certainly do not bundle in with the rest of the vicious venomous snakes.

They have a code of ethics and it shows.

pgroup2

A-fucking-men, brother.

gil00

I say that all the time!

TheseTruths

Naomi Wolf is already on our side regarding COVID and vaccines. She is doing great work to expose Pfizer and vaccine companies.

Unlike those who want us to “forgive and forget” regarding COVID policies, she is not asking for anything from us. She does not mention “forgiveness.” She merely admits that she was wrong.

I’m glad to see someone with her clout coming around to the truth and being willing to admit her error. That is so rare that it is almost unheard of.

Tonawanda

Agree on your assessment of Wolf.

Weiss was different. When she made her bogus mea culpa, she equivocated, and did not detail the basis for her statement. I forget the specifics, but she threw in baloney which was a sure indication that she did not really mean it.

When a person admits wrong and apologizes, IMO, the person needs to specifically articulate why the apology is needed, otherwise the apology is meaningless. Explain exactly what you did wrong, so others know that your apology is based on an actual exercise of conscience.

Seems to me Wolf has done that.

pgroup2

NO! She’s not on ‘our’ side.

She has the correct position regarding covid vaccines.

That’s it. She needs to wander in the desert for a few years.

Aubergine

You’ve got it. She still doesn’t like Trump, while admitting that may be reflexive.

Well, hell, Naomi, do some damn research about him, why doncha ya?

kalbokalbs

Pravda News is her problem. She needs to cut the cable.

Gail Combs

Naomi has her hands full chasing Pfizer so I will forgive her lazer focus.

TheseTruths

NO! She’s not on ‘our’ side.

I said, “Naomi Wolf is already on our side regarding COVID and vaccines.”

para59r

Confused, is this the same woman that appears regularly with Bannon?

Since Naomi first started appearing regularly with Bannon I assumed she’d already turned. Certainly seems so as she fits in so well with us now.

It makes this apology thing seem more like instruction for her old friends on the left. The same ones that have long since disowned her and totally stripped her off the internet of all accolades after being a household name as a woman’s libber for several decades.

pgroup2

Precisely why it’s hollow, to me.

TheseTruths

Yes, she is frequently on with Bannon. She has does fantastic work revealing the duplicity of vaccine companies.

It makes this apology thing seem more like instruction for her old friends on the left.

Yes. Or maybe she is following her faith, which I think instructs one to admit wrongs and apologize, and that is the end of it.

(This is not aimed at you; just general observations.)
No one is saying she has suddenly turned MAGA and we have to trust her to be in, say, a cabinet position. This could be a simple situation of someone who was duped, now awakening — the very thing we want to see. And she is admitting her errors and opening herself to ridicule, which people are willing and very quick to provide. She might have included detail and links as instruction to old friends; so much the better.

People seem to be assuming that she is asking for something or expecting something, but there is not a smidgen of that in her writing.

I would be hesitant to want those who *know* everything that a person is thinking and feeling, as well as their motivations, on my jury if I were on trial. That kind of prejudgment that doesn’t even take the facts into account is the opposite of fairness.

Aubergine

If the psy-op starts up again, these same people will revert and do the same shit they did the first go-round.

They cannot be trusted. EVER.

gil00

Nope. Like miss lindsay sashays to whoever has power theyd do the same to survive.
The snake poem…you let me BACK in!

gil00

He is very right on this.
Being sorrybisnt enough, bc theybwill always do it again, corrupt others, and will have profited in some way off of lack of severe consequences.

TradeBait2

Here they come clutching whatever tools of repentance they can grasp to make a display. Jesus spoke of people like that.

She’s still a swamp critter playing a part unless she displays true humility and retreats totally from the public square. You will know them by by their fruit.

She still does not acknowledge that government operatives and police instigated Fedsurrection. Buh bye. I have no use for leftist pretense.

pgroup2

Ditto.

TheseTruths

She’s still a swamp critter playing a part unless she displays true humility and retreats totally from the public square.

I don’t understand this statement. She is a well-known person who is doing great work exposing vaccine companies. By being on Bannon and elsewhere, she is educating people. Why would she need to stop doing those things?

And as for humility, what is more humbling than saying “I was wrong” multiple times, providing the precise things one was wrong about, and being vulnerable to derision and ridicule — which is what the majority here have provided?

ROBERT BAKER

Interesting comment C. Yesterday I linked a Mark Steyn program with Naomi Wolfe where she talks about the churches, and in her case synagogues, being shut down. She mentioned that at one point during the lockdowns she was so desperate to worship God in a community setting that she went to a Catholic church and was dismayed that the parish was segregating the vaccinated and unvaccinated. So from what I heard on yesterday’s show she probably has done just what you suggest.

I believe she is starting to wake up (hence my fist comment about her being red-pilled), and that that is fantastic news.

ROBERT BAKER

It was my impression that she is mindful of God from a Jewish perspective and takes her faith more seriously than some liberal Jews I have observed.

I think that is correct.

I’m surprised at the reactions from people. Naomi Wolf has been wrong about a lot of things for a long time, and she is admitting it even though there was no need to. Usually we rejoice at people being red-pilled.

scott467

I’m only one person, so maybe it’s just me.

I tend to like her when I see her, but what she wrote comes across as self-serving and condescending.

She’s not fired up and angry about being manipulated and lied to on an unimaginable scale, the way any normal person would be.

She’s just ‘sorry’, and qualifies her ‘sorry’ by repeatedly making excuses, demonstrating that she’s not really sorry at all.

I’ll believe she’s ‘sorry’ when she goes after the people who did this to our country.

cthulhu

Sorry is a good first step…..but it is only a first step. If she stops after that one, then she will still deserve whatever happens.

TradeBait2

And this ^^^

it wasn’t even a full confession. It was a kicking the dirt, I missed some of this type stuff deal. Full confession, full repentance. Until/if that happens, she is controlled op.

There is no “opinion” in what TC presented. It’s all on the video with time stamps plus tons of other evidence.

Unless she receives some deep seated resentment from non Bannon watchers on the right, this seems more slyly addressed to the left to give them a path and yank them over to the MAGA right.

For Bannon watchers this is all water under the bridge. At this point she’s done more for MAGA than even the slickest RINOs.

I have political acquaintances with whom I work regularly. But they are NOT trusted simply because I work with them and we share a few values.

TheseTruths

But who said anything about trusting her? That is what’s puzzling about this discussion. People don’t even seem to be comprehending what they’re reading.

singingsoul1

Dr N Wolf is an example to her liberal friends family. She is showing that one does not embrace Trump necessarily and still embrace the truth and can have the humility to admit one was wrong.
Why I am a strong strong supporter do not expect every person to like him.
She just has been red pilled and slowly she is admitting to her self how she was deceived but do not expect her to embrace all of MEGA . I am happy for her she has seen deception from her liberal group she believed.

There is nothing she could have said or done that would be satisfactory to people. She said she was sorry, but that was self-serving (because people can read her mind). She said she was wrong, but she hasn’t done enough even though saying you’re sorry is always a first step. She didn’t ask for anything from us, but she is being put in the same category as those who have advocated for vaccine mandates but now want forgiveness.

Some aspects of this discussion, and reactions here, are repellent to me. No one said we have to trust her now, and she hasn’t asked for that either. No one said anything except that she has realized some things. Those things will make her message more powerful for our side, and I am grateful for that.

scott467

“There is nothing she could have said or done that would be satisfactory to people.”

_____________

Very true, we each have our own life experiences and that affects how we see the world.

If I had been intentionally misled by my government and all my whackadoo Leftist friends, to the point of inflicting real harm and damage on my fellow Americans, I would be LIVID at the government and my Lefty friends who did such a thing.

My apology would not be qualified, it would be complete. I would no longer associate with the people who misled me, and I would want a Cliff’s Notes version of everything I’ve been missing while living in LeftistLand, to get up to speed as quickly as possible.

And I would want retribution, justice, against those who purposefully misled me and in turn caused me to harm others.

And I would be furious with MYSELF for having been so incredibly naive as to trust academia or government or the Left, about anything.

I don’t sense much of any of that from her comments, so it doesn’t give me a lot of confidence.

I don’t dislike her at all, I’m glad she’s waking up, I’m glad she is willing to recognize mistakes and admit them.

On the other hand, like everyone else here, I have been burned so many times by RINOs and others who say the right things but don’t mean them, that it’s hard to take anyone seriously who isn’t breathing fire.

And if I had been a useful idiot for the Left, and then discovered that to be the case, I would be breathing fire.

I wish that she was.

I would relate much better to that.

.

“She said she was sorry, but that was self-serving (because people can read her mind).”

___________

I can’t read her mind, my assessment is based on the totality of her comments, which, to me, amounted to some pretty weak sauce.

Better than no sauce at all to be sure, but I like hot sauce, and this was extra mild.

.

“She said she was wrong, but she hasn’t done enough even though saying you’re sorry is always a first step.”

___________

I’m not suggesting she has to do anything, I just know that I would be on fire for the truth if I discovered that all my Conservative friends had been lying their asses off to me for the past 30+ years, and I had unwittingly been used by them, so much so that I even caused real harm to others.

I would be furious.

More angry than I already am on a far too regular basis.

So it’s hard for me to relate to someone who doesn’t react in a somewhat similar way.

.

“She didn’t ask for anything from us, but she is being put in the same category as those who have advocated for vaccine mandates but now want forgiveness.”

____________

TT, I don’t know anything about her, except the occasional video clip or comments I read here.

I was just giving my impromptu reaction to the comments she made, same as I might do to Schlicter or Tucker who are (presumably) on the side of patriots, and as I regularly do with people who are obviously not on our side.

I’m not putting her in any category, I don’t even know enough about her to categorize her. I was just reacting to her comments in real time, based on how they struck me, as I read them.

.

“Some aspects of this discussion, and reactions here, are repellent to me.”

_____________

They needn’t be. We’re in a pressure cooker. Surrounded by enemies of the Republic. We have zero practical leadership on a national level, for a variety of reasons (both real and imagined).

It’s nice when a member of the opposition wakes up and switches sides.

But when our friends and family (and in some cases, ourselves) have been injured or killed in the trenches of this insanity that we’re living through, we can’t expect everyone to play the part of Aunt Bee when there are Terminators walking among us.

It’s great if Naomi is one of the good guys, but let’s not forget our own wounded and dying in the process. There is plenty of PTSD to go around, except it’s not post, it’s current and ongoing traumatic stress disorder. (COTSD).

There is a war going on, undeclared though it may be. It is only natural that people are cautious and reserved toward those who switch to our side, especially if they’re not laying waste to their former comrades.

I appreciate that you are taking Naomi’s perspective into account, please don’t forget to take the perspective of those on our side into account as well.

.

“No one said we have to trust her now, and she hasn’t asked for that either. No one said anything except that she has realized some things. Those things will make her message more powerful for our side, and I am grateful for that.”

I read the first paragraph or so and stopped at the part where YOU would want complete retribution, seemingly immediately. It’s not a realistic expectation of anyone else. I don’t agree when people think they have a right to say not only what others think (as if anyone could know that), and what others should say and think, but also on what timeline — which seems to always be their own without regard to the other person’s life experiences and history.

Paradigm shifts can take time. I rejoice to see anyone starting the journey, and especially someone who has name recognition and influence. This is a very positive occurrence.

Maybe I understand her better that the rest of you because I lived in Commie Central for years.

ALL her friends are liberals or socialists or communists. They ALL wholeheartedly believe the LIES.

It is a complete miracle she even woke up enough to be suspicious of the vaccine.

Humans are herd animals and very very few will go against the herd. NAOMI DID!

So I applaud her courage. SHE was OSTRACIZED for her courage by her former friends. She has written about that too.

ROBERT BAKER

From her comments on Mark Steyn it is obvious that she sees dangerous parallels between the covid lockdowns and 1930s Germany. She is very sensitive to the power of the State to delegitimize entire classes of citizens and she is realizing that she has become an enemy of the people she once trusted. It is a sobering recognition of how fragile the bond is between citizen and government. I believe it actually terrifies her. Her new perspective seems genuine to me.

Tonawanda

Have lived in communist environments all my life, and completely agree with your assessment. The American places where communists are the majority population are the most parochial places in America. The child-like acceptance of dogma might be just humorous were it not that sadism is the fundamental psychological state of these believers.

Neo Neocon has a great series called A Mind Is A Hard Thing to Change (or words to that effect). She wonderfully details how hard it is for a communist/leftist to get out of epistemic closure (as she did). I read Neo Neocon for years, and earlier on she was still trying hard to see things for what they really are. She eventually got there, but not without a lot of self-honesty and strict objectivity.

phoenixrising

You only ‘believed it’ when the ‘debunkers’ were people in your own orbit, faces you recognized and related to.

Exactly the point Gail makes a little above. The stupidity humans need to rise above, the epistemic closure they need destroy, is both personal and communal. People often reflect the stupidity of the group they identify with.

“My friend Dr. Naomi Wolf has demonstrated her courage and integrity in this and many other essays and interviews. Please read her apology – if only those responsible for the clear breaches of ethics and rabid governmental overreach of the COVIDcrisis were so courageous, we might be able to begin to recover. Leaders of the Democratic party and many other western political parties have convinced themselves that propaganda and censorship are justified based on a utilitarian ethos of “ends justify the means”, but they use their ill gotten powers to gaslight and harass, and to stomp on fundamental civil rights.

CNN Adds Another Major Failure to the Books as Jill Biden’s Primetime Special Bombs Spectacularly
https://redstate.com/brandon_morse/2023/03/08/cnn-adds-another-major-failure-to-the-books-as-jill-bidens-primetime-special-bombs-spectacularly-n713455

The plan was simple. Get the CNN primetime spot some watch time by giving an interview with the woman America can’t seem to get away from, First Lady Jill Biden. Only there’s one flaw in the plan. Despite the fact that she’s been shoved into everything from sports to Grammy presentations, Jill just isn’t carrying water.

According to Fox News, the ratings for Biden’s primetime appearance were more than abysmal: “’Jill Biden Abroad’ averaged a dismal 368,000 total viewers compared to 2.7 million for Fox News’ ‘Hannity’ and 2.3 million for MSNBC’s ‘The Rachel Maddow Show,’ which both aired in the same time slot.”

So, not only did Biden not attract viewers to the CNN primetime slot, she chased a good deal of them away. In fact, as Fox News added, Biden’s appearance on CNN was outwatched by reruns of shows like “Friends” on TBS and “Gunsmoke” on TV Land Classics.

While this isn’t good for CNN, this is even worse for the Biden Administration. With her husband Joe embarrassing everyone every time he gets in front of a camera, Jill was supposed to be the relatable and admirable face of the Biden administration. The fact that few are tuning in to see what she has to say about the administration shows that people aren’t interested, and in politics, that’s incredibly worrying.

OK, now for a segment of TMI along with a bleg.

Developing over some years, and accelerating over the last year, I’ve been developing a herniated umbilicus. On one level, I can be scientific about it; whereas on other levels it is an experience too much like a bad science-fiction story. I’ve been looking into having it dealt with by surgery, but ran into a whole bunch of “you must have hypertension under control; you must have OSA under control; you must have blood sugar under control; etc.” before I’m a candidate for surgery. At the end of last year, I ended up at one of the top docs in the area and he finally said something that made sense.

He said, “there is something pushing this out, and if we just corrected it today it might pop out again tomorrow.” So he sent me over to do a CT scan to see what’s in there (I was thinking a chestburster from Alien, or maybe a 40-pound tumor). On Wednesday, I got together with him again to review the results.

“Cooth,” he tells me, “you’re full of ascites.” I replied, “well, you’re not the first to tell me so, and are unlikely to be the last — but that’s quite an accent you’ve got there.” He then went on to tell me that ascites are random fluids in the body cavity — much like edema is fluid in the legs and feet. They are often correlated with cirrhosis of the liver, to which I say, “HAH! Irish DNA!”. [Seriously, the CT says “Liver: Normal in size, contour and density. No mass or focal lesion” and that the portal vein is normal. And blood tests for liver function have been good for over a decade.]

And I’m thinking to myself…..I’ve been on two hypertension medications for a while. One is designed to relax the walls of my blood vessels, and the other is designed to make them permeable to liquid. The permeable one has me bumping along with better or worse edema all the time — maybe it’s not just leaking in my feet. This might also explain the continual coughing-up of phlegm that I had thought was because of a defective CPAP (which got recently replaced).

It is also a sad fact that modern medicine is not all that savvy as to the causes of hypertension, and both medications merely treat the symptom. A side note of the CT scan says, “Adrenal glands: 5.5 x 4.6 cm fat-containing left adrenal nodule, consistent with a myelolipoma.” Adrenal nodules sound like something that might cause hypertension.

So I’m about to head to my PCP…..and I want to tell him what the next steps will be. But first, I’m brainstorming here. Any ideas?

scott467

After the last couple years, it seems definitely worth trying unconventional therapies for just about anything besides broken bones or stitches.

TradeBait2

Which is what we as a family did. As a result we are healthier and essentially off nearly all RX.

RDS

Just IMO, but it may be that one or both of the hypertension medications may be involved here.
IMO, it’s possible to control / manage hypertension in ways that may not need to include prescription drugs, or may be used in conjunction with the correct drugs for the person —
Was your potassium level checked? That might be a factor.
Do you take a probiotic every day? That might help.
What about salt intake?
Diet changes can help, too.
So can certain “lifestyle changes”, like cutting down on stressors.

Perhaps getting the adrenal gland issue taken care of may help also.

Sending Deep Healing to you and Deep Wisdom to the PCP.

TradeBait2

This may or may not help, bud. When the chiro took scans of my torso, she showed me the fluid pockets (ascites). The adjustments have my body is correct alignment now, so nothing is crimped or contorted to allow for these pools of fluid. Their creation appear to be environmental, major candida (fungal related) in this area; as well as diet (too much sugar and processed carbs) related. I will preface this with saying I gave up alcohol nearly 30 years ago.

Over the past couple of weeks (5 weeks into it) I have been releasing a lot of fluids since going Ketogenic. I hope to have follow up scans in the next month to see what has happened with the ascites. I’m losing 2 lbs. per week with no extra exercise. My BP is in the low normal range. If that is not an option, there are elements of the Mediterranean diet in Keto that may work better for you.

Wifey is no longer on BP meds with her weight loss and chiro adjustments. Amlodipine caused problems with her system. At first it worked fine, but over time it messed her up. She just takes a low dose fluid pill every other day for her inner ear problems. Her BP would sky rocket for years. She is now low normal most of the time. Being sick can cause a BP spike once every 2-3 months, which she takes Clonidine to control. One dose of it and she is back to normal.

Good luck with figuring this out.

gil00

Good this is your adrenal is not cancerous. Deal is there they need to do some other labs and have you see an endocrinologist. Based on those results they have to either take out the adrenal gland OR leave it and repeat the CT in 1 year to check for growth. If it does grow theyll remove it. Otherwise itll just stay there.
Growth on your adrenals can interfere w bp and other things. It depends on what youve got going.
They call these “incidentalomas.”

Aubergine

Coothie, you are correct about the nodules causing hypertension:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24251175/

If they removed the mass, it might solve the hypertension. Whether they will operate or not is of course another question.

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.

I must say that I am surprised that the Motion Picture Academy of Arts turned down Zelensky’s request to address the world at their shindig. Rather, I would have expected the Academy to give Zelensky an Oscar for his role as Ukrainian President. The Academy missed another opportunity to generate a ratings bonanza and make the awards relevant again.

Maybe they finally noticed that virtue signaling political agendas at an entertainment event doesn’t make them relevant . It makes them simpering morons that many refuse to watch and also reveals the “stars” themselves biased points of view that turn many people off to even watching their stupid movies . Don’t mix politics with business

It takes away time from them celebrating themselves.

Snip … “… The detente is also a surprise given the warming relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel, based on attempts to bring Riyadh into the Abraham Accords. Very likely, this new agreement which was helped along by China will delay any possibility of the Saudis and Israelis establishing official relations on an accelerated timeline.”

Mediated By China Iran And Saudi Arabia Restore Ties – There Are Winners And Losers
This is huge!

Regional rivals Iran and Saudi Arabia agree to restore ties after years of tensions

The deal, which will see the two countries reopen embassies in each other’s capitals, was sealed during a meeting in China and announced Friday in a joint communique.

Archrivals Iran and Saudi Arabia agreed Friday to restore diplomatic relations, a dramatic breakthrough brokered by China after years of soaring tensions between the regional rivals.

The deal, which will see the two countries reopen embassies in each other’s capitals, was sealed during a meeting in China — a boost to Beijing’s efforts to rival the United States as a broker on the global stage.

The agreement also may put a dampener Israel’s ongoing efforts to normalize relations with its Arab neighbors.

The talks were held because of a “shared desire to resolve the disagreements between them through dialogue and diplomacy, and in light of their brotherly ties,” according to a joint communique from Tehran, Riyadh and Beijing that was published by the Saudi Press Agency, the country’s official news agency.

The agreement followed intensive negotiations between Ali Shamkhani, a close adviser to Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khameni, and Saudi Arabia’s Minister of State Musaad bin Mohammed Al-Aiban, according to the statement.

It added that the foreign ministers from both countries would “meet to implement this, arrange for the return of their ambassadors, and discuss means of enhancing bilateral relations.”

The joint statement by Saudi Arabia, Iran and China is here:

Snip … ” … There are winners and losers in this.

The winners are:

  • Iran, which will now be even more able to break through the sanctions wall the U.S. has put up around it.
  • Saudi Arabia, which now will likely be able to end its disastrous and costly war on Yemen.
  • China, for outplaying the U.S. State Department by achieving this.
  • Iraq, Syria, Yemen as they will become more peaceful as the two middle powers influencing policies on their grounds end their rivalry.

The losers are:

  • Israel, because the chances for its attempts to get the U.S. into a war with Iran are now diminished. Its hoped for coalition with the Saudis will not come into being.
  • The U.S. for having been outplayed on its traditional ‘home grounds’ in the Middle East.
  • Anti-Iran hawks everywhere.
  • The Emirates for losing at least some of the sanction busting trade with Iran to Saudi Arabia.

This renewal of relations will change the Middle East:

China to US: Stop plundering Syrian resources, pull troops out, Presstv.ir, Mar10’23

China has called on the United States to stop plundering the natural resources in Syria and withdraw its military forces from the country.”We call on the United States to sincerely respect the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of other countries, and to immediately stop its illegal military presence and marauding in Syria,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning told a news briefing on Friday.

China also urged the US to lift the illegal sanctions slapped on Syria and to stop all actions that exacerbate the humanitarian crisis in the country.

The United States has illegally intervened in military activities related to the Syrian crisis, which has led to the death of a large number of innocent civilians and a serious humanitarian disaster,” Mao said, adding that his government calls on the US authorities to lift “illegal unilateral sanctions” against Syria and to stop actions that aggravate the humanitarian situation in the country.

According to the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson, since 2014 the Syrian crisis in the country has resulted in at least 350,000 people losing their lives in the violence, and 14 million being in dire need of humanitarian aid.

US senator said that the United States has no protection against Russian missiles

Russia still poses a significant nuclear threat to the United States, says Roger Wicker Ranking Member of the Senate Armed Services Committee

The United States does not have the means of protection against modern Russian strategic weapons, including Poseidon nuclear torpedoes. This was stated on Thursday by Senator Roger Wicker (Republican from Mississippi) at a hearing in the Senate Armed Services Committee.

“Russia still poses a significant nuclear threat to the United States. Moscow has a larger and more modern nuclear arsenal than we do. It can also create additional nuclear weapons in a short time,” he said.

Wicker added that “Russia has created nuclear weapons that have no analogues in the United States, including nuclear torpedoes capable of crossing the ocean, as well as intercontinental ballistic missiles.” “This is a weapon from which we have no protection,” he pointed out.

The senator also noted the growing danger to the United States from China. “Beijing is modernizing and expanding its nuclear forces at an eye-popping rate. It will probably overtake the US in the early 2030s,” Wicker continued.”

That is why I wrote the case for nuclear war. The Cabal wants to wipe out the USA one way or another and are not above using nukes to do it.

ROBERT BAKER

It is the land they want; it is the people they don’t need. The land is more valuable than many serfs. I do not believe they want to contaminate the land except as a last resort. If nuclear war actually occurs on a global scale it will be because the cabal has lost and as Alfred says, “Some people just want to watch the world burn.”

I never thought about it until now but that may be why Revelation talks about a new heaven and new earth. The old earth was not only corrupted but literally contaminated.

Which is why I floated neutron bomb, a week or two ago.

They want the land, unspoiled.

  • They don’t give a rats ass about “cities”.
  • They want the resources, land potential and of course, the literal beauty of America. other countries as well.
  • Speed bump of sorts along the way is, killing off, 15 of 16 folks on Earth.
ROBERT BAKER

I haven’t heard much about neutron bombs in many years. I wonder how many they have.

kalbokalbs

Dunno. Here’s what a couple quick searches pulled up.

Google What countries have neutron bombs?

  • By numerous accounts, Israel and China have tested and possess neutron bombs. The strangest case, however, is that of Russia.

Do Russians have neutron bombs?

  • The only country definitely known to deploy dedicated (that is, not dial-a-yield) neutron warheads for any length of time is the Soviet Union/Russia, which inherited the USSR’s neutron warhead equipped ABM-3 Gazelle missile program.

US – Bush in 1992, following the end of the Cold War. The last W70 Mod 3 warhead was dismantled in 1996, and the last W79 Mod 0 was dismantled by 2003, when the dismantling of all W79 variants was completed. According to the Cox Report, as of 1999 the United States had never deployed a neutron weapon.

From Wiki.

neutron bomb, officially defined as a type of enhanced radiation weapon (ERW), is a low-yield thermonuclear weapon designed to maximize lethal neutron radiation in the immediate vicinity of the blast while minimizing the physical power of the blast itself. The neutron release generated by a nuclear fusion reaction is intentionally allowed to escape the weapon, rather than being absorbed by its other components.[3] The neutron burst, which is used as the primary destructive action of the warhead, is able to penetrate enemy armor more effectively than a conventional warhead, thus making it more lethal as a tactical weapon.

The concept was originally developed by the United States in the late 1950s and early 1960s. It was seen as a “cleaner” bomb for use against massed Soviet armored divisions. As these would be used over allied nations, notably West Germany, the reduced blast damage was seen as an important advantage.[4][5]

ERWs were first operationally deployed for anti-ballistic missiles (ABMs). In this role the burst of neutrons would cause nearby warheads to undergo partial fission, preventing them from exploding properly. For this to work, the ABM would have to explode within approximately 100 metres (300 ft) of its target. The first example of such a system was the W66, used on the Sprint missile used in the US Nike-X system. It is believed the Soviet equivalent, the A-135‘s 53T6 missile, uses a similar design.[6][7]

The weapon was once again proposed for tactical use by the United States in the 1970s and 1980s, and production of the W70 began for the MGM-52 Lance in 1981. This time it led to protests as the growing anti-nuclear movement gained strength through this period. Opposition was so intense that European leaders refused to accept it on their territory. US President Ronald Reagan ordered the production of the W70-3, which remained in the US stockpile until they were retired in 1992. The last W70 was dismantled in February 1996.[8]

Also gives a tiny bit of credence to the idea that sending millions of people from other places to Western nations thins out the populace in resource rich countries and puts the humans in much more densely confined cities. Easier to target?

GOP Presidential Field Rallies Around One Idea: Declare Drug Cartels Terrorists
FTA

Snip … “… Once the Mexican drug cartels are placed in the same legal category as al-Qaeda and ISIS, the Republicans now competing for the presidency have revealed an appetite for more than financial assets. Former President Donald Trump, who is running again in 2024, promised in January that he would “designate the major drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations” and then deploy special forces to “inflict maximum damage” on their infrastructure and operations.
A Trump campaign spokesman told RCP that the goal is simple: “Stop the scourge of drugs and violence from crossing our southern border.” The plan, straightforward: “Declare war on the cartels.”

Those who read my BIMD about the House of Haslam will now better understand why Buffett has made the closing of the purchase of the family stock of Pilot Flying J such that Berkshire will own 80% control – making it wholly owned per corporate law.

This is the way the globalists do things. They get in bed with RINOs like the Haslams who have been successful in business and carving out a national niche. They capitalize on scratching their itches to do other things – politics, sports, etc. The purchase of the family owned giant is arranged over time to both’s benefit. Buffett forks over $11.4 B over 5.5 years with the Haslams still retaining 20% to take advantage of Buffett’s future plans.

Buffett is getting bigger in distribution. Going for control of all things tied to the population’s needs. Food, energy, construction materials, housing, EV’s, etc. PFJ is already contracted with GM for 2000 EV charging stations in their travel centers by 2026.

Did this parent prep the child? The children are given the words they will be tested on … it’s a matter of rote … flashcards and drills!

Cracking up, I still recall a Daughn post. Daughn posted about getting 95%, or whatever high score (not 100%), on a spelling test in grade school.

As Daughn posted, she bragged about the high grade to her father.

Daughn’s father chastised Daughn, she should get 100%.

  • After all, the school gives the test in advance, with each word, spelled correctly.

Exactly! When the gr/grands spent week-ends with us when they were in grammar school… I spent lots of time drilling them… helping to prepare for spelling tests on Monday. Earlier, that’s how they learned multi-tables … flash cards and drills. I have encountered young adults today who don’t know their tables…
