Health Friday 5.2.2025 Open Thread: The PREP Act Must be Repealed. Now.

The above vintage image of the United States Congress in session is courtesy of the Library of Congress and Google Images.

Health Friday is a series devoted to Big Pharma, vaccines, general health, and associated topics. As today’s post speaks of the disaster of the lab-created bioweapons called COVID-19 — the COVID-19 virus itself; and, the COVID-19 “vaccines” — Yours Truly dedicates it to the memory of all persons, of whatever age or location, who have passed away from the negative effects of these bioweapons.

There are Important Notifications from our host, Wolf Moon; the Rules of our late, good Wheatie; and, certain caveats from Yours Truly, of which readers should be aware. They are linked here. NOTE: Yours Truly has checked today’s offering for AI-generated content. To the best of her knowledge and belief, there is none. If anyone wishes to post AI-generated content to today’s discussion thread, they must cite their source. Thank you.

The PREP Act (also called PREPA) is a “License to Kill“, in the words of Sasha Latypova (https://sashalatypova.substack.com/.) The PREP Act removes accountability, liability, and transparency from the activities of the Health and Human Services Department of the United States Federal Government under the provisions of the Act. The PREP Act allows: unlimited research, development, and use of COVID-19 “countermeasures”, including, but not limited to, “vaccine” development and use; “respiratory devices” development and use (think ventilators); prescription drugs use (think Paxlovid and Remdesivir); “mandated” uses of masking, of “social distancing”, and even of “lockdowns”; the “mandated” administration of COVID-19 “vaccines”, including to newborn babies, to persons under the age of 18, to persons who wish to attend school or to work; and much more. The PREP Act allows the United States Federal government and its associated departments (including Health and Human Services and the United States Defense Department) to literally use American citizens as “human lab rats” in the administration and use of dangerous, deadly, COVID-19 “countermeasures” which are not “safe and effective”; but which, instead, damage and/or destroy the bodies and minds of the persons who take the COVID-19 “vaccines” and/or drugs such as Remdesivir. The PREP Act uses taxpayer monies, private research grants, collaboration with scientific labs all across the United States (think the Baric Lab at UNC, Chapel Hill), and with foreign labs (think the Wuhan Institute of Virology) to pursue the provisions of the PREP Act.

Yours Truly begins here: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/12/11/2024-29108/12th-amendment-to-declaration-under-the-public-readiness-and-emergency-preparedness-act-for-medical, “12th Amendment to Declaration Under the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act for Medical Countermeasures Against COVID-19”, signed by then-Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, 11 December 2024. This 12th Amendment extends the PREP Act (also called PREPA) “emergency status” of COVID-19, along with all medical countermeasures used against COVID-19 (including development and use of “vaccines”, “respiratory devices”, and so on) — until 31 December 2029 (in other words, until after the 2028 General Election and into the Presidential administration that takes over on 20 January 2029.) It also means that, even though the “official” COVID-19 “state of emergency” ended in May 2023, the “virus emergency status” has not been ended. It also means that legal liability for any person, any medical professional, any drug manufacturer, any hospital / clinic / care facility, and supplier, and so on, that fall under the provisions of the 12th Amendment — are legally exempt from any and all liability. It also means that, while the current Health and Human Services Secretary can sign a document that rescinds and/or modifies the 12th Amendment, it must take an act of Congress to repeal the PREP Act.

Per Katherine Watt (paralegal and professional researcher), the two separate actions mentioned above are discussed here: https://bailiwicknews.substack.com/p/repealing-prep-act-and-terminating, “Repealing PREP Act and terminating HHS Secretary determinations and declarations issued under PREP Act are two different things.”, 4 April 2025. Please see the screenshots from her article, below:

For more information on the PREP Act (aka PREPA), please see: https://aspr.hhs.gov/legal/PREPact/pages/default.aspx. ASPR means the Administration for Strategic Preparedness & Response. The PREP Act was passed by Congress in 2005, under the administration of then-President George W. Bush. Please also see: https://aspr.hhs.gov/legal/PREPact/Pages/PREP-Act-Questions-and-Answers.aspx#COVID.

It appears that the various States of the United States have little room to challenge the provisions of the PREP Act. However, a recent case before the North Carolina Supreme Court, regarding a person under age 18 who was given a COVID-19 “vaccine” without consent, was decided in favor of the plaintiff: https://thefocalpoints.com/p/give-it-to-him-anyway-teen-given, “Give It to Him Anyway”: Teen Given COVID-19 mRNA Shot Without Consent — State Supreme Court Says Family Can Sue”, by Nicolas Hulscher, MPH, 24 March 2025. Please see the screenshot from the Hulscher article, below:

A lower court in North Carolina ruled that the family could not sue the school system, due to the “liability provisions” of the PREP Act. However, the North Carolina Supreme Court overruled the lower court, stating that the family can indeed sue:

Before turning to the final aspect of today’s offering, Yours Truly will expand the mention of Sasha Latypova above in the post. Ms. Latypova, a native of Ukraine, was trained in medical and pharmaceutical technology. She owned and ran several companies in this area. She worked with Pfizer-BioNTech and other drug manufacturers in medical technology. She is therefore a person with deep experience, in Yours Truly’s opinion, regarding the workings of these industries. After moving to the United States and subsequently retiring from these endeavors, Ms. Latypova began to research and write on how the medical technology and the pharmaceutical industries have now become entities that serve their shareholders and the government, not the patients they claim to serve. Regarding the PREP Act, here is one of her blog posts: https://sashalatypova.substack.com/p/prep-act-license-to-kill-must, “PREP Act Brief: “License to Kill” must be repealed.”, 21 April 2025. This article is densely-written and detailed. Below are a couple of screenshots from her post. Note: There are numerous hyperlinked information sources embedded in the article:

Please also see this post, an interview between Ms. Latypova and Ms. Watt (Bailiwick News) regarding the PREP Act: https://sashalatypova.substack.com/p/interview-with-the-former-feds-foundation, “Interview with the Former Feds Foundation: Katherine Watt and I discuss PREP Act as an act of treason.”, 25 April 2025.

Finally, there is this blog article from “Spartacus”: https://iceni.substack.com/cp/162062988, “Declaration of Sovereignty Pt. 1”, 24 April 2025 (this is a cross-post from the Mole substack website.) This post is long and intense; it traces the “Profane Myth of COVID-19.” A screenshot of part of this post is below:

It is the PREP Act which, in significant amounts, has placed the United States in the position where the country is today: just under 70% of the population has taken at least one injection of a dangerous, deadly COVID-19 “vaccine” (these injectables are NOT “safe and effective”, and mounting evidence proves this); the country is just beginning to emerge from the economic devastation and chaos of the “COVID lockdowns” period; and, the Medical Tsunami of COVID-19 “vaccine”-induced injuries, illnesses, disabilities, and deaths, which is starting to present among the “vaccinated.” There are many persons involved in the above who must now be held accountable; not the least of which are those who knew how dangerous and potentially deadly the COVID-19 “vaccines” are while working with “Operation Warp Speed”, and who withheld this information from then-President Donald Trump.

THERE. MUST. BE. JUSTICE.

It’s Freaky Friday again.

I was wondering when he would do this:

BREAKING: President Trump Signs “Ending Taxpayer Subsidization of Biased Media” Executive Order to Defund NPR and PBS
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/05/breaking-president-trump-signs-executive-order-defunding-npr/

Gudthots

Good!

TheseTruths

Good. The article says:

We can surely expect Democrats to sue the Trump Administration to keep forcing the American people to pay for their fake news.

I would not be surprised to see more articles of impeachment that will go nowhere.

kalbokalbs

Prolly to simplistic. House defund PBS and NPR.

Or is, Power of the Purse, just another worthless soundbite?

patfrederick

and it needs to happen NOW. because when or if dems reclaim the House, they will re-fund all this bullshit again.

Hope I’m wrong. But there is a pattern, ongoing going for three months.

ET SOB Media…

TheseTruths

I gather that it would literally take an act of Congress to do away with the PREP Act. I haven’t seen any talk about it, but I might have missed it.

I wish you, Pavaca, had the ear of RFKJ and could tell him all the things you bring here. He needs to be aware of the importance of “issuing a Federal Register notice terminating the determinations and declarations” of the act that have been made over the years.

I did see this in yesterday’s Coffee & COVID:

Yesterday, Secretary Kennedy and HHS made what could be the simplest but most impactful announcement in American history (if you count in total life-years-saved). From now on, with limited exceptions (like the annual flu shot), the FDA will require all vaccines —including those already on the schedule— to be tested against an inert placebo, like pure saline.

“All new vaccines will undergo safety testing in placebo-controlled trials prior to licensure — a radical departure from past practices,” an HHS spokesperson told The Washington Post…

💉 But no. Here’s the giveaway: despite the article’s main theme was about how testing against placebos alarms experts, the Globe never bothered to explain how vaccines are currently tested. If non-placebo testing is so wonderful, then why didn’t that information come first, right up front? But that bit was conspicuously absent, concealed behind empty technical jargon and meaningless buzzwords like “correlates of protection” and “biological responses.”

Nearly every other drug except for vaccines must succeed against a placebo. But under long-standing FDA regulations, vaccines are excepted. They are not tested against placebos. They are usually tested against other vaccines, or (I am not making this up) against heavy-metal solutions, creating a kind of jabby feedback loop. Old vaccines, already approved, are assumed to be safe and effective. So if your new vaccine’s side effect profile is no worse than the old vaccine you’re testing against, then shazam, you have a winner. It’s safe!

The experts aren’t afraid that RFK Jr. is wrong— they’re afraid he’s right. They are terrified the public might start noticing how little scrutiny vaccines have actually received compared to every other drug on the market. If experts were confident in the science, they’d welcome placebo trials as vindication. Fine, go ahead and do your little placebo trials, you’ll see we were right all along. Their panic tells you they’re not afraid of being disproven — they’re afraid of being exposed.

This simple policy change was much more than a first step. It was a seismic move. With only a little luck, it could change everything.

I’m hoping that that last sentence indicates COVID vaxes must now undergo testing that didn’t happen before, and that that could lead to their downfall. It would be nice to stop them altogether right now, but this might be a positive step.

^^^ Limited exceptions. Like the next plandemic. Loophole needs to be closed.

Aubergine

I hope it means that ALL vaccines, including the MMR, tetanus, polio, DPT, and others, will have to be tested against placebo. Not just “new” vaccines, ALL VACCINES.

TheseTruths

I agree that that needs to happen. *They* can no longer be trusted and slip things into the vaccines.

RAC

All injectables that have not been tested should be marked on the box and the insert with a giant red skull and cross bones, that way people can’t be hoodwinked with scientific wording.

Aubergine

AMEN!

From the comments of today’s C&C —

On the gendering of animals… I was at the farmers market last year with my dog. She had on a pink harness and we had a pink leash. A woman referred to my dog as she, and then quickly apologize that she might have misgendered my dog. I laughed, and told her it was fine. She’s wearing pink. So she’s obviously a she. The woman looked at me, shocked, and said, well pink doesn’t always mean that it’s a female. And I said, well, in our house, it does. She was incensed, turned away, and fled. It was hilarious!

TheseTruths

The things people get incensed about! Pink has meant girl for ages. Just because a few people want to change it, that doesn’t mean it will be changed or should be changed. In fact, it shouldn’t be. The norms of society are there for a reason, and they are beneficial.

Gudthots

Thank you Elon for making it stop.

“The computers at Treasury pay about $5 trillion per year. When payments are made, there was formerly not a budget code on there. So if a payment was made you didn’t know what it was for.”

“There was a $4 billion COVID fund in the Department of Education. There was no receipts recquired so people could just draw down on it. They found out money was being used to rent out Ceasers Palace for parties, rent out stadiums, etc.”

“So the one change that DOGE made was the simple requirement that if you drawdown money, you must first upload a receipt, and upon doing so, nobody drew down any money anymore.”

“Generally, the fraud starts out small and they try to hide it. But year after year, if nobody stops the fraud, it gets more and more brazen, and every year it gets bigger until they are literally renting out stadium.”

Prosecute EVERYONE to the fullest extent of the law.

The SAME as they would do to EVERY SINGLE non-government AMERICAN, if we had even dreamed about doing it.

TradeBait2

^^^ Exactly this. How many times do we have to say that if they do not prosecute it did not happen?

If we want it to stop we have to put the shackles on the perpetrators and parade them down Main Street and show them being sent off to prison after conviction. If everything is about “messaging” as the media claims, start messaging as roughly as was done to innocent PDT, supporters, J6’ers and others have been treated.

Gudthots

Interesting interview I found looking at substack you posted.
Thank you PAVACA.

From: https://sashalatypova.substack.com/p/interview-with-the-former-feds-foundation

note: Sasha isn’t happy about what she thinks the tariffs will do to private sector. Of course, we think otherwise.

The lawyer, Katherine, lays out how PREP violates the Constitution. And she says the corporate law firms wouldn’t speak up. They all get federal dollars. And PREP was a DoD operation. Which I believe we have discussed before.

I hope the tariffs increase on every nation screwing us over. We don’t have a need for cheap Chinese shiz.

If people would figure out how and start reducing consumption of what they think they “need” and “must” have – it would change the entire world.

Save the money to use for when the good stuff gets produced here in America.

patfrederick

i remember hearing that Walmart’s goal was originally to showcase American made products till they realized they could import the cheap chinese stuff to keep prices lower. so we bought the cheaper stuff and our factory orders declined. we saved money at the expense of our neighbor’s jobs and the quality of the items we bought.

Cuppa Covfefe

I think that change occurred when “the kids” took over from Sam Walton. We had the same thing happen over here with ALDI, and even IKEA. Bill and Dave’s grandkids (Hewlett and Packard) are not at all like their brilliant, conservative (and conservationist) grandparents… sad.

Sometimes silver spoons do a lot of damage even when the parents try to fight it…..

I might add that when Nixon went to China back in 1972, a lot of people (including lil’ ol’ me) predicted the economic mess of today might occur….

wow…i was in middle school then.

TradeBait2

It was. I lived in Arkansas when their national expansion began. I went to two store openings then and back in East TN a decade later in the mid 80’s. Sam would attend many of the openings and give speeches. He talked openly about always taking American made products first. If it was not made here he would then get it elsewhere. But he tried to get manufacturers and suppliers in America to make or provide the products first. He talked how he worked with them on pricing and supply.

Then the globalists and children got in control and ruined it.

We were in Costco yesterday. We noticed a few of their small kitchen appliances, mens shavers, and hair clippers had gone up over $10. since last week.

If all the DOGE referrals result in criminal prosecutions, DoJ will need to put up a website for the public to see all the filings in the various cases. There is PACER but it charges per page and the public should not have to pay to see the results of DOGE. .

Umm…May 8th was victory day IN EUROPE.

What about Japan? We had to use the (strong nuclear) Force on them twice, in August, to get them to finally buckle and surrender.

One can argue the Soviet Union did more to defeat Germany than we did, but we did have more to do with ending Japan than anyone else did.

TheseTruths

I’m not sure he would want to use either of the dates of the bombing of Japan as a day of commemoration for victory in WWII.

kalbokalbs

Agree. Signing onboard the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay is the culmination.

Perhaps odd ball here.

I thought May 8th, V.E. (Victory in Europe) Day and August 14th or 15th, V.J. (Victory in Japan) Day, were already national holidays, otherwise I don’t know why I would know them.

They’re not shown on my calendars of course, but neither are certain other days that are not politically-correct, like December 7th, Pearl Harbor Day.

DAV – Disabled American Veterans for well over a decade mailed me a nice calendar. Victory in Europe, Victory in Pacific, December 7th, all patriotic days noted.

DAV stopped sending me calendars. guess some staffer needed a larger bonus. They still get my annual donation.

Checked my my cheapo calendar from Dollar Store. Does Not call out of of these patriotic dates. It does call out dumb shit Hallmark holidays, like Grandparents Day.

The distinction between govt employees paid holidays and Generally Accepted Traditional Holidays is deliberate and growing. Well, at least until DJT showed up with his quaint notions of what our culture should be.  😂

I thought it was already established: Certainly gets little press.

  • Victory in Europe, May 8, 1945
  • Victory in the Pacific September 2, 1945.

Or so I learned in grammar school in the 60s.

Defeating Germany. Russia certainly took the brunt of the ground war (blood / human toll) to stop the Germany Army.

US air campaign, perhaps stopped German ability to regenerate their war machine. (SWAG)

Somewhere I read, the US provided Russia significant rolling stock to fight the ground war. Trucks, jeeps, perhaps howitzers, ammunition.

  • ALL of which was stricken from USSR text books – American assistance.
Cuppa Covfefe

Wonder if anyone rememebers Arbor Day, Armistice Day, when Washington and Lincoln had their OWN holidays…

Now all the holidays in calendars are “global”, i.e. international day of “fill in the blank”… Then again, there’s no space in today’s woke curriculum to fit real history between the one-two hours per day of pervy sex practices, beliefs, and philosophy they’re pushing, along with freako story hours…..

Another thing this renaming does is say “it’s OK to be a WINNER” and “it’s OK to strive to be the best”. I’m sick and tired of “participation trophies” and the ideology of “if you aim low enough, you’ll never miss”…

If you aim low enough, you’ll shoot yourself in the foot/feet… and all you’ll win is derision and ignominy. Which is about what the SatanoDEMONRATS deserve.

I remember from early in VSGPDJT’s first term when he was explaining MAGA that ALL countries should strive to be great again, and look to improve their own lot. Of course the YSM/MCM presstitutes buried that quickly…..

Armistice day became Veteran’s Day in the US; so it’s not gone.

Cuppa Covfefe

Repurposed, however…

pgroup2

But I am betting that it’s now included in Russian textbooks. Vlad is far too much of a history scholar [and far too skilled of a politician] to allow that critical info to remain omitted.

kalbokalbs

Would hope so AND would be good to know, Russian citizens know.

TradeBait2

Russians freed my father-in-law from the POW labor camp he was in during WW II. Needless to say he was very grateful.

kalbokalbs

Wow!

Aubergine

Didn’t we used to celebrate both VE Day and VJ Day?

Google search says:

Japan publicly announced its surrender on 15 August 1945. This day has since been commemorated as Victory over Japan – or ‘VJ’ – Day. On 2 September, a formal surrender ceremony took place on board the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay, officially bringing the Second World War to an end.

Victory in Europe Day is the day celebrating the formal acceptance by the Allies of World War II of Germany’s unconditional surrender of its armed forces on Tuesday, 8 May 1945; it marked the official surrender of all German military operations.

Everyone stood up, and there was a moment of silence, seemed like a long moment of silence, at 11am, on November 11th.

It’s great to see PDJT reacting in real time to the lies they say about him and composing an X post on the fly. And the serious faces of those who were with him are somehow comforting. They’re not making fun and laughing at Commala; IMO they appear to take the situation seriously. This is war.

the cost of illegals
FTA
Illegal aliens cost Texas hospitals more than $100 million in just a single month, brand new data from the Lone Star State shows.
Texas hospitals are on the hook for a $121.8 million bill incurred by illegal aliens across 31,000 visits in November 2024 alone, according to data collected by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (THHSC).
Advertisement
The findings came after Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed an order directing THHSC to collect and provide quarterly data on the cost of illegal aliens to the state’s hospitals and the number of visits from illegal aliens. The first full year of data from THHSCC will be released in January 2026.

“Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;” 

Romans 12:12 (KJV)

COMMENTARY FOR ROMANS 12

“Believers are to dedicate themselves to God. (1,2) To be humble, and faithfully to use their spiritual gifts, in their respective stations. (3-8) Exhortations to various duties. (9-16) And to peaceable conduct towards all men, with forbearance and benevolence. (17-21)”

9-16 The professed love of Christians to each other should be sincere, free from deceit, and unmeaning and deceitful compliments. Depending on Divine grace, they must detest and dread all evil, and love and delight in whatever is kind and useful. We must not only do that which is good, but we must cleave to it. All our duty towards one another is summed up in one word, love. This denotes the love of parents to their children; which is more tender and natural than any other; unforced, unconstrained. And love to God and man, with zeal for the gospel, will make the wise Christian diligent in all his wordly business, and in gaining superior skill. God must be served with the spirit, under the influences of the Holy Spirit. He is honoured by our hope and trust in him, especially when we rejoice in that hope. He is served, not only by working for him, but by sitting still quietly, when he calls us to suffer. Patience for God’s sake, is true piety. Those that rejoice in hope, are likely to be patient in tribulation. We should not be cold in the duty of prayer, nor soon weary of it. Not only must there be kindness to friends and brethren, but Christians must not harbour anger against enemies. It is but mock love, which rests in words of kindness, while our brethren need real supplies, and it is in our power to furnish them. Be ready to entertain those who do good: as there is occasion, we must welcome strangers. Bless, and curse not. It means thorough good will; not, bless them when at prayer, and curse them at other times; but bless them always, and curse not at all.”

Commentary by Matthew Henry, 1710.

WE ARE FIGHTING A SPIRITUAL WAR OF GOOD VERSUS EVIL

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.

TEACH US TO PRAY, LORD

Our hearts, minds, and souls are distressed
No wonder with daily life we are stressed
What the enemy has wrought upon us
Is nothing short of a binding truss

Whatever is sacred whatever is true
They have stripped and turned us blue
They have jailed the innocent and they beat
They have stoked the fire turned up the heat

And thus we come to Your Heavenly Throne
Begging for mercy Humbly to atone
We are drugged discouraged and drowned
While weak You are strong we cannot back down

Teach us to Pray, Lord – Teach us to Pray
Help us get through each troubling day
Raise up our spirits and Heal our bodies
Help us shake off these poorly clad shoddies

Give us the words pleasing to You
Help us speak victory out of the blue
Deliver us from all that is plaguing us
Break us free from this binding truss

Tether our words with the Word of God
Break our chains Let us not be flawed
Send us a prayer written by Your Scribe
Unite us together in Your Holy Tribe

We know not how to pray as we ought
The Spirit moans the battle is fought
Jesus gave us a prayer the best of all
Our Father in Heaven to Him we call

We pray on the Armor of God each day
To keep the enemy and his friends at bay
We feel protected by the Heavenly Host
The Army of Angels we need the most

Teach us to Pray, Lord – Teach us to Pray
Remind us to come to You ev’ry day
Help us to trust You with all of our hearts
Because it beckons to You and imparts

Our understanding is no match for Yours
Vengeance is Your way to fight the wars
Acknowledgement is critical as well
No one wants to end up in Hell

We thank You, Lord, for chatting with us
For clearing the air and silencing the fuss
To You, Lord, we give Honor and Praise
And Glory, Lord, for the rest of our days!

https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/gifts-and-surprises-friday-may-2

Good morning, C&C, it’s Friday! We have a jam-packed roundup to enjoy: New York Times runs unintentionally complimentary Trump Support story; Gray Lady’s pages begin to fill with stories admitting how historic Trump’s second term is; Trump cuts NPR and PBS off at their federally funded kneecaps; Florida poised to de-poison the state’s water supply and experts are anguished; and US slashes the United Nation’s capstone globalist project, Agenda 2030.

kalbokalbs

From the C&C link above.

This week at the UN General Assembly, the US Counselor denounced the UN’s so-called 2030 Agenda Sustainable Development Goals, a globalist wish-list of mandatory climate and DEI nonsense. Without US support, the 2030 SDG’s are a dead duck. Quack, quack, gleerrrrrb.

Good luck finding it reported anywhere in corporate media.

The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals —or SDGs— are a sweeping set of 17 interlocking objectives adopted in 2015 under the banner of Agenda 2030. On paper, they promise a utopian checklist: end poverty, combat climate change, ensure “equity,” restructure education, overhaul energy systems, and manage global land use.

In practice, they are a soft-power blueprint for top-down, bureaucratic control over national policies— often sidestepping democratic processes in favor of unelected “stakeholders,” NGOs, and supranational enforcement. It’s like a global Homeowner’s Association, but for everything from farming to finance, with no opt-out clause, and no one you can vote against.

In a bland sentence that rang musically in the ears of Americans worried about the UN’s incremental globalist takeover of the United States, US diplomat Edward Hearney flatly told the delegates, “Agenda 2030 and the SDGs advance a program of soft global governance that is inconsistent with US sovereignty and adverse to the rights and interests of Americans.”

Finally!

Hearney summarized the US’s new position: voters said no. “Put simply, globalist endeavors like Agenda 2030 and the SDGs lost at the ballot box. Therefore, the US rejects and denounces the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals, and it will no longer reaffirm them as a matter of course.”

“President Trump also made it clear we need an overdue course correction on gender and climate ideology, which pervades the SDGs,” he added.

For decades, global technocrats advanced schemes like Agenda 2030 the same way empires used to plant flags — quietly, confidently, and assuming no one would resist. But this week, from the same General Assembly floor where Khrushchev once banged his shoe and Gaddafi ranted for an hour and a half, the U.S. finally fired back. With language echoing Washington’s farewell warning against “entangling alliances” and Reagan’s stand against creeping collectivism, Counselor Hearney drove a stake into the vampiric heart of soft global governance. For now, the SDGs rest uncomfortably alongside the League of Nations on the ash heap of unrealized utopias — grand in design, but rejected by free people who still prefer sovereignty over slogans.

I’m not naive. If we don’t end the globalist experiment for good, Agenda 2030 will soon be back, repackaged as Agenda 2040 or an even more delightfully named program like “This Time We’re Getting 15-Minute Cities Whether You Like It or Not.” We must stop them for good.

But this week’s declaration was nothing less than a populist revolution. Agenda 2030 was the globalists’ crowning achievement. America just threw the SDG tea into the harbor.

China Sinking – Groundwater Dropping

Beijing And Other Chinese Cities Sinking
An interesting video, with things like images of ground sinking over all of China, all from too much ground water extraction. Causing sinkholes too.

The Central Valley of California has a similar problem, where too much ground water extraction has caused the San Joaquin valley to drop a few feet; so they have put in place limitations on groundwater extraction.

For China, that will hurt hard. They have expanded farming based on groundwater, so reductions will mean les food, and a hungry population. The only way I can think of to “fix it” would be a massive nuclear desalination program or exotic atmospheric water harvesting that has not been proven at scale

This is not a small problem. “In the north China plane, ground water started falling at an alarming rate. 0.5 to 1 meters per year”. That is not sustainable on a fairly short time period. One river near Beijing, the Chaobai, has dried up via soaking into the land as the water table dropped. (8 min 50 sec. into the video). Essentially China is on a collision course with becoming a desert. It MUST get an alternative water source before the ground water is gone. Conservation measures can help, but not by much. Even swapping to lower water crops has limits (partly since farmers are likely already using the best crop for their location and water supply).

NEW: Homeland Security Investigations & U.S. Secret Service served a criminal search warrant in an upscale Irvine neighborhood this morning, targeting the suspect they believe was responsible for posting fliers w/ the names, photos, phone numbers, & locations of ICE agents in SoCal in February. The target wasn’t home, and an arrest wasn’t made.

We are told he lives at home with his parents, and was previously arrested at UC Irvine during an on-campus Pro-Palestinian protest.

Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons was on scene for the operation, telling me he took it personally that someone would try to put a target on his agents in an effort to interfere with them and put them at risk. Says person responsible will be held accountable.

We will not be identifying the target unless an arrest is made.

You’ll have to open the tweet to a wider view to see this. Watch what happens behind the house during the raid.

Interesting. Seems the twerp was behind the house near the hill when the cops showed up. He follows the four cops using the side walk from behind the house. He starts to close on them and then suddenly turns and fleas. Likely that’s when the cops out front went on the the loud speakers and the perp realized the people he was following were cops.

Tucker Carlson:

Russell Brand was once a famous leftwing actor, celebrated by the British establishment. Then he criticized the government for using Covid to turn the UK into a totalitarian state. The accolades abruptly stopped. A government TV station accused Brand of committing sex crimes against anonymous women they refused to name. Government officials called for his opinions to be scrubbed from the internet. Last month, British prosecutors charged Brand with rape and sexual assault. None of the charges are backed by hard evidence. All of them supposedly took place more than 20 years ago, one of them in the 1990s. The entire case is transparently political and absurd, a near-identical replay of the fake rape charges authorities brought against Julian Assange 15 years ago. Russell Brand, whose youngest child is barely a year old, now faces life in prison. He has no shot at a fair trial, because Britain is no longer a free country. Over the last few years, millions of foreigners have applied for asylum in the United States. Russell Brand actually deserves it. Say a prayer that the Trump administration comes to his rescue.

kalbokalbs

Hopefully Brand will get asylum. Britain has joined the dark side.

pgroup2

He needs to go hang out at the American embassy.

Aubergine

Russell is also a born-again Christian, fairly recently finding faith. He has been very vocal and inspirational about it. Britain is filled to the brim with Mooslims. That may be a factor as well.

I hope he applies for asylum, and I pray that President Trump will grant it. This kind of thing has to stop.

ICE Arrests Illegal Immigrant Who Killed 13-Year-Old Girl in Texas After 10 Years at Large

In 2014, 13-year-old Chrishia Odette was struck and killed by an illegal Mexican immigrant while crossing a street in Rockwall, Texas. Her father, Chris Odette—a US military veteran and single father after losing his wife to breast cancer—spent over a decade tirelessly seeking justice. This week, his efforts bore fruit: US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) confirmed the arrest of Ramiro Guevara, the man responsible for the fatal incident, who had remained free for years despite multiple legal violations.

A Preventable Tragedy 

The tragedy unfolded when Chrishia attended a sleepover. Later that evening, while attempting to cross the street, she was hit by a vehicle driven by Ramiro Guevara, an illegal immigrant from Mexico. According to ICE, Guevara had been encountered by Border Patrol twice before—voluntarily returning to Mexico in 1994 and 2004—and had an outstanding 2010 warrant from the Mesquite Police Department for driving without a license and speeding.

Despite this history, Guevara was released back into the community following the deadly crash in 2014. A grand jury ultimately “no-billed” the case, meaning the jury decided there wasn’t enough evidence to support criminal charges…

A Symbol of a Broken Immigration System 

The case of Chrishia Odette has been highlighted by organizations advocating for stricter immigration laws and by conservative leaders pointing to systemic failures in immigration enforcement. Chris Odette has shared his story in various forums, including Congress, advocating for more stringent laws and increased resources for ICE. His testimony has resonated with many citizens demanding justice for victims affected by lapses in immigration enforcement.

Noir: Shooting Drones Legally
in News

Published On: April 29, 2025
By Larry Z

“Colion Noir dropped another heater — this time tackling a wild new frontier: using the Second Amendment to defend your privacy against drones.

Yep, you heard that right. Florida, always at the tip of the spear for pushing freedom-based laws, is advancing a bill that would allow homeowners to use reasonable force to take down drones flying too low over their property — specifically within 500 feet and under 200 feet of altitude.

Noir summed it up perfectly: if a drone is hovering outside your window, recording your every move like it’s starring in a weird DIY documentary, why shouldn’t you have the right to defend your airspace?

Florida has introduced a drone defense bill. Do you support shooting down drones on your property?

With a legally-owned shotgun, no less. As he put it, “if it’s hovering low enough for me to hit it with some birdshot, I can treat it like a clay pigeon with a camera.”

Sounds awesome, right? Well, of course, the federal government — and specifically the FAA — has jumped in to say “hold on.”

SEE ALSO: Can You Shoot Down a Drone?

According to the feds, drones are considered aircraft, and shooting at them could bring serious federal charges. Florida might say “blast away,” but Uncle Sam still says “touch an aircraft, and we’ll see you in court.”

Colion walked through the messy legal tug-of-war this creates. PCMag pointed out how vague “reasonable force” really is. Gizmodo highlighted how federal and state laws might clash. American Military News warned of lawsuits if the law isn’t crystal clear. And Fox Newreminded everyone Florida already has privacy protections — this bill would just add more teeth.

Then Noir threw on the tinfoil hat (and let’s be honest, he might not be wrong): What if the federal government’s real concern isn’t protecting hobby drones but keeping their surveillance drones off-limits?

After all, if everything’s protected as “aircraft,” even government drones flying uninvited over your backyard are untouchable.

In a hilarious side note, Noir also pitched Mossberg’s new 990 Aftershock as the perfect “drone deterrent” — lightweight, fast-handling, and, let’s face it, way cooler than lugging a full tactical shotgun to your pool party.

At the end of the day, Noir boiled it down to one real question:

Where does defending your privacy end and reckless endangerment begin?

If Florida’s drone defense bill passes, you can bet Floridians will be gearing up — maybe even setting up backyard “skeet shooting” for intrusive drones.

But for now, even if that buzzing machine outside your window is begging for a little shotgun justice, you might want to check with a lawyer before you pull the trigger.

Props to Colion Noir for always finding the freedom angle nobody else is talking about.”

Noir, a lawyer, is a good guy to weigh in on this issue.

Florida passes this, Rhonda will sign it. FAA Will back Down.

Double dang. Last week told DW, I wasn’t going to buy any more gun(s). Not that I own one, or more. Truthfully, there was this tragic boating accident…

TheseTruths

One possible problem I wonder about with shooting down drones is the same one that occurs when people shoot into the air above them. People have been hurt and killed by gunshots not aimed at them. Also, you always have to know your target and what’s behind it. Shooting at drones in a neighborhood when homes and people are nearby seems dangerous.

But I agree that drones should not be able to surveil people and invade their privacy. I’m not sure what the solution is.

kalbokalbs

Yea, shooting at drones needs to be thought out. In neighborhoods, problem. More rural, could be quite safe. 12Ga with birdshot.

Happy go lucky

Here ya go:

TheseTruths

Wow, you’d have to go outside and confront the thing. But that worked.

scott467

It would be good to find out the physics.

I suspect that using a shotgun to shoot up into the air, particularly a small sized pellet shell, like a 7, 7-1/2 or 8, should still be plenty to bring down a drone, but may not be nearly so dangerous to people or property as a traditional bullet falling out of the sky.

But I don’t know.

According to Brave Browser AI assistant, a pellet the size of a BB falls from the sky at 51mph (75 feet per second), limited by air resistance.

I wouldn’t want to catch one in the eye, but if it hit anywhere else, I doubt it would do much harm at that speed.

TheseTruths

I doubt it would do much harm at that speed.

You’re probably right, but ANY harm would trigger lawsuits and rants about those crazy 2A people endangering everyone else.

scott467

I’m not sure what the solution is.

__________

A handheld laser powerful enough to disable a drone might solve the problem. No need to worry about where a shot lands, so that liability is removed, but there is still the problem of where the drone crashes.

If the drone lands on someone’s head, the person who shot it down is probably liable.

But if handheld lasers ever became adequate for the job, the drones would implement defense measures, and it would be an arms race, sort of like radar detectors and cop radar.

Cuppa Covfefe

Just think if all of those hand-held Spectra-Physics Lasers were upgradable with a sort of “pimp my laser” action 😆

Boy howdy… all those drones melting down from the sky 😆

Would love to see EMP blasts, confusing the drone and nudging it back whence it came, sans memory and data… (OK, needs SOME memory to return home)…..

Otherwise, shake it, bake it, and take it…..

scott467

“I’m not sure what the solution is.”

__________

Maybe something like a flare gun, that shoots a net.

Totally harmless if you miss and it falls to the ground, but would definitely end the drone flight if the drone is within range and your aim is decent.

Gudthots

I recall videos years ago of they types of tools LE was using to deal with drones. One shot a net out quite a distance. Cuppa’s idea of EMP type jamming is probably the way to go.

I could see a lot of negative use cases… along with hundreds of millions of dollars in vandalism damage, if such a device fell into the wrong hands.

Should ask local police about getting a Taser for protection.

kalbokalbs

Ask, police / LE? Personal choice.

Educate oneself.

  • Advice and recommendations, etc. State laws.
  • Considerations are numerous.
  • Training / practice. Brain storm how to apply the “tool”. How close to the attacking animal does one need to be, to apply the tool.

>>> Random tools that may be worth considering. In no particular order. <<<

Quick Google search.

Tasers are legal for civilian use and ownership in 49 states as of 2025.13 However, Rhode Island is the only state where taser purchase, possession, and use are illegal.13 In Hawaii and New York, taser laws have been updated to authenticate the use of tasers by citizens.1

In California, it is generally legal for civilians to buy, possess, or carry a stun gun or taser for self-defense, except if the individual is a felon, under 16 years old, or a drug addict.24 A minor at least 16 years of age may purchase and use a stun gun, but only if the minor has the written consent of a parent.2.

Some states require background checks for purchasing a taser, including Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, and Minnesota.13 Additionally, there are restrictions on where tasers can be carried in certain states, such as school property, airports, courthouses, and busses.

Bottom line.

  • An attacking dog, is an out of control deadly weapon.
  • Slow Guy plans accordingly.

Prayers for your sweet Yorkie!!! Recently, I keep hearing about Byrna launchers being something you can buy online that ships to you. It is apparently legal in all states (except NYC and Queens per Judge Janine Perro in ad). Perhaps this would be good?

Just recently heard of these, from a guy who just bought one.

I’m glad your dog doesn’t seem to have severe injuries.

I’m guessing you haven’t talked with the owners of the dog. I’m not suggesting you do; it can be risky.

Cuppa Covfefe

Yep…. I’d talk to a lawyer first…

scott467

Pavaca, I’m sorry you and your dog had to go through that.

If the dog lives next door, shouldn’t the owner be able to confirm whether the dog has had all of its shots?

Since the German Shepherd apparently and fortunately did not bite or attack you, I wonder if the dog is vicious toward people, or whether it is just dangerous to other dogs, and whether the laws differentiate between the two.

If I was your neighbor, and my dog had attacked your dog, I would be offering to pay your dog’s medical bills and whatever else I could do to take responsibility (like putting a fence in my own yard to contain my dog) and hopefully avoid creating an enemy of my neighbor, due to my dog.

A chain link fence might be cheaper, and would preserve the view, if that is a consideration.

I’m glad you’re both going to be okay 👍

Aubergine

This is a scary episode. I’m sorry it happened to you.

German Shepherds as a breed are a mixed bag. I have known some good ones, and some truly bad ones. Even with the same owner. My former neighbor owned two. One was great and grew old. The other had to be put down before age three. She was unpredictable and snapped at people seemingly at random. She was just scary. Bad breeding or something. Remember Kristi Noem shooting the snappy dog? That’s not considered a bad thing to do out here in the West.

Your neighbors probably need a visit by the local police. Most places have laws about dogs roaming free. I had a friend whose dogs were chasing deer out in the county. They were confiscated and euthanized. A dog who attacks livestock here is fair game to be shot by the owner of the attacked animals. And around here, dogs (and cats) are considered to be similar to livestock. Barn cats are working animals. Guard dogs and herding dogs are, too. And any dog can be a watchdog.

Do your due diligence and know your rights. Even if you protect your dog with a fence, the vicious dog may attack another dog with someone who can’t defend them and get away. Or, God forbid, it may attack a small child.

I would go further, not just telling the reporter that advocating for open borders is ‘irresponsible’, I would tell her straight up, it makes you a BAD person.

It makes you an enemy of law abiding American citizens.

It makes you a hostile enemy to all the Americans standing around you, right now, and everywhere else you go.

Is that what you want?

Do you want to be known as a hostile enemy of the American People, surrounded by Americans, everywhere you go?

Because that is the position you are putting yourself in, and I would love to understand that, if you think you can explain it.

R-cons need to stop playing defense. I hate defense.

Go on offense.

Globalists start to get worried…

“Germany’s domestic intelligence agency has officially classified the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party as a “proven right-wing extremist organization,” marking the most serious step yet in Berlin’s efforts to contain the rising political force.The move, announced Friday by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV), means that the AfD is no longer merely under suspicion. The agency says it now has definitive evidence that the party works against Germany’s democratic system.
A 1,000-page internal report, according to German public broadcaster ARD, underpins the decision, citing violations of core constitutional principles such as human dignity and the rule of law.
This is the first time in modern German history that the party with nationwide representation in parliament has been formally designated as extremist. Some state-level AfD branches — like those in the eastern states of Saxony and Thuringia — had already received that label.The new classification doesn’t ban the party, but it allows German authorities to intensify surveillance, including the use of undercover informants and monitoring communications, under judicial oversight.”

https://www.europereloaded.com/the-afd-is-a-right-wing-extremist-group-german-intelligence-says/

Cuppa Covfefe

The classification wasn’t unexpected…

They’ve been trying to get the AfD BANNED entirely… but the people are having none of it, in particular the former East Germany, where they can smell commies a few hundred kilometers away…

The Kurrent Krop of Kommies was installed by Merde-Kuh, who not only killed off the bench, but destroyed the “farm system” clear down to D-league, if not further.

THERE IS NO, UTTERLY NO FOLLOW-ON TALENT.

And what she did, in her 16 years of infamy, was not only kill off the bench and farm system of the CDU/CSU, but kill it off for all the other parties as well: FDP, Die Linke, Greens, SPD, and the minor parties. The AfD is a VERY new party, and their meteoric rise only show just how dissatisfied the German people are with our UNIPARTY…

And, yes, our judiciary (as well as the rest of Europe’s too) is tainted…

We need prayer. MUCH PRAYER. And revival.

A quick look at the EKD “Church Day(s)” up north shows just how far from Christianity and Christian belief and behavior the church in Germany has strayed… totally political, no faith whatsoever…

It’s almost as if we’re being punished… as it was in the days of Noah…..

Someone should ask the German leadership whether they’ve ever read a history book, or recognize the name HITLER.

It would be interesting to know whether the striking similarities are entirely coincidental, or if they’re using the Nazis as their model.

The NAZIS never left (SED and NSDAP). They just regrouped and renamed themselves.

Why are they called ‘Latin countries’?

They don’t speak Latin.

The only reason they speak so-called Romance languages is because they were conquered and colonialized by various countries in Eurolandia.

So you’d think they would want to drop the ‘Latin’ reference and start collecting on their innate victimhood status, seeking reparations from the Eurolandoloons.

cthulhu

The “so-called” Romance languages were because they were conquered by Romans — not “various countries”.

scott467

I didn’t even know the Romans conquered Latin America.

But I went to a public school, so I guess it’s not that surprising.

GREAT News from Florida.
Fla. AG to rebuff judge who ordered halt to state immigration enforcement: ‘The court has overstepped’

A Miami federal judge threatened Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier with contempt, which could put him in prison

Fla. AG to rebuff judge who ordered halt to state immigration enforcement: ‘The court has overstepped’

____________

Rebuff, huh?

That’ll send a lot of the locals diving for their legal dictionaries 😂

From the article:

EXCLUSIVE: Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier will rebut a judge’s demand that his office order state law enforcement to halt enforcement of a state immigration law she ordered paused under suspicion of unconstitutionality.”

____________

So now we’ve gone from ‘rebuff’ to ‘rebut’.

I didn’t know ‘rebut’ was an option… if it was, then why didn’t U.S. AG Pam Bondi just ‘rebut’ all the federal district court judges?

Just give ’em a rebut, Pam 👍 😂

.
.

“The law allows for misdemeanor charges against illegal immigrants who enter Florida and hope to avoid federal immigration officials.

“The judge wants me to put my stamp of approval on an order prohibiting all state law enforcement from enforcing Florida’s immigration laws when no law enforcement are party to the lawsuit,” he said, as the ACLU’s suit is being adjudicated before Obama-appointed Miami federal judge Kathleen Williams.

“I’m just not going to do that. We believe the court has overstepped and lacks jurisdiction there, and I will not tell law enforcement to stop fulfilling their constitutional duties,” Uthmeier, who is being threatened with contempt actions, told Fox News Digital.

“I do not believe an AG should be held in contempt for respecting the rule of law and appropriate separation of powers.”

_____________

It’s all about what we believe.

For instance, I decided I don’t believe I should be subject to speed limit laws.

I haven’t tested that belief in court yet, though.

.
.

“The ACLU is dead set on obstructing President Donald Trump’s efforts to detain and deport illegals, and we are going to fight back. We will vigorously defend our laws and advance President Trump’s agenda on illegal immigration.”

____________

Start by going on offense against the American Criminal Liberties Union.

Call them that.

Reframe the discussion.

Make them the bad guy.

Give the ACLU a new name for the People to mock them with.

With a guy like this that gets aroused by a dead or dying man and then proceeds to rape him in public…I’m going to have to believe that this wasn’t his first homosexual necrophiliac act. Wonder how many passed out drunks on skid row he’s raped

They’re only sending their best, so this may be normal in Latin countries.

This is exactly why I don’t ride the subway.

Thanks to multiculturalism, you never know who the corpse-rapers are.

Plus there isn’t any subway probably within a thousand miles of me, so that’s at least a partial factor.

But if there was, I still wouldn’t ride it.

https://justthenews.com/government/security/state-department-designates-violent-haitian-gangs-foreign-terrorist

The State Department on Friday officially designated a group of Haitian gangs responsible for the recent violence in the Caribbean nation as “foreign terrorist organizations.” 

Violent gangs took over the Haitian government and the island’s streets last year, after the gangs stormed two major prisons and released thousands of inmates. Gang violence has been an issue in Haiti for decades, but escalated after the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse in 2021.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the Viv Ansanm and Gran Grif gangs are now foreign terrorist organizations and Specially Designated Global Terrorists, because they pose a direct threat to U.S. national security interests in Haiti.

“These gangs have killed and continue attacking the people of Haiti, Haitian security forces, and Multinational Security Support (MSS) mission personnel, and are committed to overthrowing the government of Haiti,” Rubio said. “Their ultimate goal is creating a gang-controlled state where illicit trafficking and other criminal activities operate freely and terrorize Haitian citizens.”

The secretary said the designations mean people who interact with the groups could face sanctions, or even criminal charges and inadmissibility or removal from the U.S. if they provide material support to them…

kalbokalbs

Great. This may expedite illegal Haitians head of the line privileges, on the next flight outa here.

Send them with arms, so they can retake their country.

You’d think they would be eager to save their homeland. With U.S. support and arms, this is their big chance.

Michelle Obama Whines About How “Expensive” It Was to Live in the White House, Taunts Barack Obama (VIDEO)

She is confirming the impression some people had of her when she was in the WH and unable to shoot off her mouth. She has no class whatsoever.

“If I were having problems with my husband, everybody would know about it,” Michelle Obama said. 

…because she’s a loud-mouthed, entitled [insert race here] black [insert sex here] woman who apparently thinks spouting off about marital issues that affect not only her spouse, but someone who formerly acted as president of the United States, is her right and is something she should be able to do.

I heard her talk about not attending Jimmy Carter’s funeral and what a “hard” decision it was to do what was best for her instead of what was expected. She’s a horrible role model. I actually feel sorry for Barack in this particular situation, and that’s saying a lot.

Since it became socially acceptable in black society for men not to marry black women, notice how many children are born to single black women? Black men like to bang black women, but they don’t want to live with them. Moochelle is a perfect example of why.

She was a necessary accessory for the first homosexual black president, but he doesn’t need her anymore. And man, is she bitter.
