Health Friday is a series regarding Big Pharma, vaccines, general health, and associated topics. 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: AI-generated items in today’s offering will be cited as such. If readers wish to post AI-generated items in today’s discussion thread, they must cite their source. Thank you.

Today’s offering discusses the recent court ruling by Federal Judge Brian E. Murphy, which as effectively gelded the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) division of the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS.)

On 16 March 2026, Federal Judge Brian E. Murphy, of Boston, ruled for the plaintiffs in a lawsuit against the CDC, the ACIP group of the CDC (Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices), HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, and other defendants. The lawsuit was brought by a coalition of health organizations, headed by the AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics.) The Murphy ruling, among other items, enjoined the ACIP group from undertaking its scheduled meeting in March, 2026; it stayed any proposed changes to the CDC Childhood Immunization Schedule, changes that were to have been approved at this meeting; and, nullified all recommendations, directives, and other actions, made by the ACIP group since July 2025. Fierce Pharma covered the ruling here: https://www.fiercepharma.com/pharma/judge-pumps-brakes-rfk-jr-vaccine-overhaul-targering-acip-and-cdc-schedule-revamp, Eric Sagonowsky and Fraiser Kansteiner, 16 March 2026.

The ruling by Judge Murphy is here: https://fingfx.thomsonreuters.com/gfx/legaldocs/gdpzawegkvw/03162026vaccine.pdf. The list of plaintiffs, and more coverage of the Murphy ruling, are here: https://www.apha.org/news-and-media/news-releases/apha-news-releases/federal-judge-blocks-immunization-schedule-changes, “Federal Judge Blocks Immunization Schedule Changes, Stays ACIP Member Appointments”, 16 March 2026. Please see the screenshot, below, from this article:

Dr. Jessica Rose, PhD, discussed the ruling here: https://jessicar.substack.com/p/more-on-the-judgy-mcjudgefaceacip-situation, “More on Judge Brian E Murphy/ACIP situation”, 21 March 2026. Please see the screenshots, below, from this article:

Yours Truly went to the article (referred to in the post by Dr. Rose), written by an experienced practicing attorney, regarding the Murphy “ruling.” The attorney is Bobbie Anne Flower Cox, Esq. Her article is here: https://brownstone.org/articles/when-judges-go-rogue/, 23 March 2026. Please see the screenshots from this article, below:

But wait, there’s more! Judge Murphy, in his “ruling”, also “critiqued” each (then)-member of the ACIP group, finding every one of them “lacking” in what he deemed to be the “amount of expertise” to be making any decisions regarding the CDC vaccination schedule. Please see the screenshots from his “ruling”, below: Page 29 and Page 30:

And then, with even more breathtaking condescension, the following, from Page 31 of the Murphy “ruling”:

It appears that the (then)-members of the ACIP group were supposed to “present evidence” to him that they ARE qualified to sit on the committee? And, if the JUDGE deems their “level of expertise” is “lacking”, that the JUDGE can dismiss such members from the committee? Were the credentials of, for example, (then)-ACIP member Dr. Robert Malone not “good enough” for Judge Murphy? — After all, Dr. Malone discovered how mRNA can be “packaged” into a lipid nanoparticle. And why does it appear that Judge Murphy has a “particular axe to grind” regarding (then)-ACIP member Dr. Retsef Levi?

Back to the Bobbie Anne Cox article. It appears the Judge Murphy was doing all he could to find ways to “legislate from the bench.” Please see below, from Ms. Cox’s article:

Regarding the last point, about the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) having no standing: Guess what? The AAP gets large donations from Big Pharma entities, such as, Pfizer, Moderna, and, Seqirus. The AAP is completely compromised and should never have been a party to this (bogus) lawsuit in the first place. Please see: https://www.aap.org/en/ways-to-give/current-corporate-and-organizational-supporters/, from 10 October 2025:

The AAP is a direct beneficiary of Big Pharma. AAP pediatrician members make significant amounts of income from “vaccinating” children with products manufactured by the Big Pharma entities that give large amounts of money to the AAP. See how the cycle works?

If, as Attorney Cox states, the Murphy “ruling” can be overturned in court, why did HHS apparently choose NOT to fight the “ruling”, opting instead to “reconstitute” the ACIP group? Please see: https://imahealth.substack.com/cp/191534018, “Breaking News: Chairman Milhoan Confirms that ACIP Disbanded in Response to Federal Court Ruling: Sources Indicate Administration Opts to Reconstitute ACIP Rather Than Appeal”, 16 March 2026. A screenshot from this article is below:

In addition, pediatricians receive “financial incentives” from Big Pharma companies and from insurance companies via programs to ensure that children are “vaccinated.” This, despite the denials and “fact-checking” by media and by organizations such as the AAP about such “incentive payments.” In fact, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has initiated an investigation into these payments given to pediatricians in his state. Please see: https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/news/releases/attorney-general-ken-paxton-launches-wide-sweeping-investigation-unlawful-financial-incentives, “Attorney General Ken Paxton Launches Wide-Sweeping Investigation into Unlawful Financial Incentives Related to Childhood Vaccine Recommendations”, 21 January 2026. Please see the screenshot, below, from this article:

There is yet another aspect to the Murphy “ruling” situation: A combination of conflicting statements, apparent miscommunications, and what appears to be personnel from the Oval Office “taking a more active role” in HHS activities. Please see: https://www.fiercepharma.com/pharma/acip-members-miscommunication-vaccine-panels-future-adds-confusion-after-earlier-upset-court, “ACIP member’s miscommunication on vaccine panel’s future adds to confusion about ruling”, 20 March 2026, Fraiser Kansteiner. Please see the screenshots from this article, below:

Note that Yours Truly used the phrase, “appears to be personnel from the Oval Office” related to the HHS situation — the Wall Street Journal cites “unnamed sources.” However, what can be said, with a fair amount of accuracy, is that the HHS (and its CDC and FDA and NIH and NIAID divisions) have been roiling due to the attempts of HHS Sec. Kennedy, Jr., to curtail / stop, the “good old days” in the department. The “good old days” when drugs and “vaccines” were granted EUAs or Full Approval without proper full testing and data analysis; when the CDC “recommended” more and more “vaccines” for children from birth to age 18; when the FDA granted EUAs and Full Approvals for drugs and biologics that were clearly dangerous to patients (VIOXX [pain reliever]; and, Aduhelm [Alzheimer’s disease drug] are cases in point.) What can be said, with a fair amount of accuracy, is that Gain-of-Function experiments in the United States are still being funded by NIH, even though a “ban” on such experiments and funding was declared in 2025 — and, in addition, such experiments are also being conducted by other agencies within the federal government; as, for example, the H5N1 Avian Influenza experiments being conducted at the USDA Southeast Poultry Division facility in Georgia (https://jonfleetwood.substack.com/p/trump-admin-keeps-ties-to-who-influenza, “Trump Admin Keeps Ties to WHO Influenza System as U.S. Funds Bird Flu Gain-of-Function and Mass Vaccine Programs”, 24 January 2026.)

The following are the opinions of Yours Truly:

What the situation is today: Big Pharma, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the Federal Judiciary, are in control of the Department of Health and Human Services. What the situation is today: HHS has opted to “reconstitute” the ACIP group, instead of fighting the Murphy “ruling” in court — in effect, acquiescing to the “ruling.” This acquiescing “kicks the door off the hinges” for any Federal Judge to stop / stay / delay, any directive, recommendation, committee, or activity of that committee, of the HHS, CDC, or FDA.

What the situation is today: Millions of children, from birth to age 18, are at risk for complications of all kinds induced by the multitude of “vaccines” that they are “recommended” to get according to the old CDC Childhood Immunizations Schedules.

What the situation is today: By HHS Sec. Kennedy, Jr., focusing on creating a new “food pyramid chart”, along with other “side-bar” programs — which, of themselves, are worthy — but not as important as focusing on completely rooting out any influence of Big Pharma and Establishment Medicine at HHS, he has allowed these entities to manipulate the Federal Judiciary into neutering the entire agency. By HHS Sec. Kennedy, Jr., focusing on other programs, he is NOT doing anything substantive regarding completely STOPPING the use of COVID-19 “vaccines” in the United States — arguably, the most dangerous, deadly, and poisonous products ever designed. By HHS Sec. Kennedy, Jr., focusing on other programs, he is NOT doing anything substantive regarding bringing those to account for their roles in creating the COVID-19 virus itself, or the COVID-19 “vaccines.”

What the situation is today: Is is more important then ever for all persons (including parents of children from birth up to age 18) to take charge of their health. To question the “why” behind a “recommendation” by a healthcare professional regarding taking any “vaccine”, let alone any drug. To refuse to take any “vaccine”, or to have any “vaccine” put into their children, that the patient (or patient’s parents) do not approve. To fight to have “vaccine liberty” from school boards, employers, and insurance companies that request “compliance” with “recommendations” or “mandates” for “vaccination.”

What the situation is today: Since Big Pharma, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the Federal Judiciary are now in control of the Department of Health and Human Services — it is now the responsibility of HHS Sec. Kennedy, Jr., to stop this situation; or, for the current Administration to find someone who will.

What the situation is today: An example of the new “power base” that is in control of HHS / CDC / FDA: Pfizer-BioNTech wants the FDA to approve the company’s new Lyme disease “vaccine” (which appears to be mRNA-based) that it is developing with a French company, Valneva. The “vaccine candidate” is called VLA15. This, despite the fact that the Phase 3 clinical trial for VLA15 did NOT meet its primary outcome goal — which goal was to demonstrate effectiveness. This, despite the fact that the CDC has NOT YET “reconstituted” the ACIP group, which group is SUPPOSED TO RECOMMEND new “vaccines” for authorization or for approval by the FDA. If the FDA does not bow to Pfizer-BioNTech’s request to approve VLA15, what is to stop the company from suing the FDA and, via a Federal Judge (for example, Judge Brian E. Murphy), forcing the agency to approve the “vaccine?” Please see: https://tdefender.substack.com/cp/1921132650, “Pfizer Wants FDA to Approve Its Vaccine for Lyme Disease — But Does It Have a Shot?”, Brenda Baletti, PhD, 25 March 2026.

THERE IS NO PLACE IN THE HUMAN BODY FOR AN mRNA, A modRNA, AN saRNA, OR A taRNA PRODUCT OF ANY KIND, IN ANY FORM.

THERE MUST, FIRST, BE MUCH MORE RESEARCH PERFORMED ON THESE TECHNOLOGIES AND PLATFORMS.

THERE MUST BE, SECOND, EXTENSIVE TESTING OF PRODUCTS USING THESE TECHNOLOGIES AND PLATFORMS, WITH COMPLETE ANALYSES OF SAFETY AND EFFICACY DATA.

ALL GAIN-OF-FUNCTION EXPERIMENTS IN THE UNITED STATES, OF ANY KIND, PERFORMED BY ANY DEPARTMENT OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT, MUST BE STOPPED.

Ivermectin for cancer treatment video:

Gudthots

What is he saying?

As I understand it…
Cancer has parasite like properties.
Cancer uses some of the same metabolic processes as parasites.
But it’s not like a tick that attaches to your body from outside.
Cancer stems cells are from our own bodies, right?

Wolf Moon

Yes. “Cancer is a parasite” is “AHA clickbait” – in my opinion.

cthulhu

As currently presented to the public, yes. As a thread for actual fact-finding research to pull on, not so much….

I thought it was interesting the way he described cancer and how it works in the body, and why Ivermectin and Fenbendazole (and Vitamin D) seem to work.

All things that we’ve talked about here for a few years, and especially Linda’s successful treatment.

In the past several weeks, it seems like there has been a resurgence of peer reviewed studies and youtube videos on this subject. Hopefully it will get to the point where it overcomes the establishment narratives and breaks through to the mainstream.

I’m appreciating the resurgence. Moar, when you see them, please.

The more I read about Ivermectin, the more I am convinced, weekly Ivermectin is an essential part of my regimen.

Extra day or two of Ivermectin, when I feel “off”.

kalbokalbs

Thanks. Copied and saved all.

Ivermectin is available in Texas, TRUE, OTC. Well, phone order. Three business days, phone order to mailbox.

Will keep trying local, Mom & Pop pharmacy. Thus far, they say, they order Ivermectin AND it does not come in.

My alternate IVM source is Pharmacy on Air.

Wellness and other ivermectin sources available.

Gudthots

I was told that the Resolvx brand (made in USA) is only two ingredients. Nearly all ivermectin with some kind of assist for making into tablets, but low enough that it’s easy to crush the tablets, which can be useful for compounding. But I have no way of verifying those details.

Ivermectin also “feeds” the bifido bacteria that is WIPED OUT by the Covid Virus.

pgroup2

I saw this [or a very similar one] a few years ago. I also found it interesting but for a different reason.

Linda’s recovery [and the parasite hypothesis] both could be Divine Acts of God for very different purposes than the ones we might see [or not, as the case may be].  😇

I think God gave us all kinds of natural things to be used for our good, and we have forgotten most of them:

Psalm 104:14-15

14 You cause the grass to grow for the livestock
    and plants for man to cultivate,
that he may bring forth food from the earth
15     and wine to gladden the heart of man,
oil to make his face shine
    and bread to strengthen man’s heart.

Ezekiel 47:12

12 And on the banks, on both sides of the river, there will grow all kinds of trees for food. Their leaves will not wither, nor their fruit fail, but they will bear fresh fruit every month, because the water for them flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for healing.

I think man made chemical poisons come from something different.

pgroup2

No argument from me.

Gail Combs

This seems to be a good explanation.

Ivermectin is anti-cancer, anti-viral, anti-parasitic and now neuroprotective

A snippet:

Ivermectin exerts much of its neuroprotective effects by modulating P2X4.



“Because of its action on P2X4 receptors, ivermectin has potential with respect to preventing alcohol use disorders[92] as well as for motor neuron disease.[93]”

As an aside, ivermectin reverses the effect of alcohol on P2X4 and has the potential to reduce cravings and consumption of alcoholic beverages in those afflicted with substance use disorder.

However, back to neuroprotection.

“Ivermectin (IVM), a positive modulator of P2X4Rs, enhanced levodopa (L-DOPA)-induced motor behaviour. Thus, IVM is increasing striatal dopamine release through enhanced cholinergic activity on dopamine terminals.”

If it is neuroprotective, and the evidence is growing that it is, and humanity is being bombarded with various toxins and electromagnetic frequencies each day that compromise our nervous system, perhaps there is reason to consider ivermectin as a neuro-protective repurposed drug worthy of use during this dangerous time in our history.

Ivermectin’s main mechanism of action in neuroprotection seems to be its stabilisation of P2X4 receptors.

“Ivermectin is a positive allosteric modulator of P2X4 that stabilises this subunit in the open state [20], which consequently may also prevent P2X4 internalisation [2122].”

Why is the stabilisation of P2X4 so important?

Because overexpression of P2X4 is not only a disease driver in ALS and Parkinsonism, it plays a key role in many other diseases including Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer’s Disease, Chronic Neuropathic Pain, Migraine, Epilepsy, Alcohol Use Disorder, Depression, Bipolar, Schizophrenia and Anxiety.

Or to put it more technically, this study explains the pathological role of P2X4:

“In various pathological states, such as trauma, ischemia, chronic pain, neurodegenerative processes and several neuropsychiatric disorders, de novo expression of P2X4 and/or an increase in cell surface P2X4 density has been reported in microglia and/or neurons, thus suggesting possible key and multiple roles of neuronal and microglial P2X4 receptors in the establishment and/or maintenance of these pathologies [25]. Changes in the intracellular expression of P2X4 may also have important consequences in the pathophysiological context.”

Open Carry for Terrorism and SHTF?

If you train seriously and live in a state where open carry is legal, make open carry part of your elevated-threat plan. It is not required every day, and it does not turn you into a superhero. But in a sudden, widespread terrorist rampage open carry can be a force multiplier. The discomfort or myths that deter many people today become irrelevant when the stakes shift from reputation to survival.

Normally, whether carrying openly or concealed, the goal is to avoid a confrontation. In these cases, the confrontation comes for you, so a hard posture with the best defense possible is the way to go, and your subcompact pistol beneath two layers of clothes isn’t going to cut it.

Why openly carry in a time of heightened threat? Rifles and carbines essentially have to be carried openly. They are unnecessary for ordinary day-to-day self-defense against criminals, but they become highly valuable in the face of terrorist attacks or active shooters. A long gun offers superior accuracy, range, penetration, and stopping power compared to any handgun. It is also far more visible, delivering a much stronger deterrent effect.

An unconcealed handgun is far easier to draw than a concealed one. There is no clothing in the way and the draw is often straighter and more natural. It also allows you to carry a larger handgun, which is useful if you have an attached light or want a service-sized pistol if you expect trouble.

Open carry has value for deterrence. Criminals like easy targets. Looters and rioters have been documented as going elsewhere because neighbors were armed. Someone standing around with a firearm, particularly a rifle and especially if they are kitted up, indicates that the person has taken a interest in the safety and security of their community. Attackers seeking maximum casualties prefer easy victims; an openly armed, alert defender raises the perceived cost and risk, often causing them to redirect or hesitate.

Many mass shooters have revealed in their manifestos or interviews (if they survived) that they selected a secondary target because their primary target was too difficult because of armed security. Open carry clearly communicates the potential for armed resistance. Unlike concealed carry, in which the criminal is unaware the “victim” is armed until the weapon is drawn, open carry can stop a potential crime before it leaves the suspect’s mind.

Deterrence doesn’t come from carrying a gun alone. Deterrence shows externally through a person’s bearing. People who are alert tend to carry themselves differently from those who are distracted. That outward posture signals that the person is engaged with their environment rather that lost in their phone or thoughts. Bearing also communicates confidence and capability. Criminals often prefer targets who appear unsure, passive, or unaware; someone who looks steady and attentive presents a higher perceived risk.

Alpha had a 4 hr long dissection of Joe Kent. At one point it came out there was 18,000 KNOWN terrorists in the USA. That does not include got-aways.

DNI Bombshell Report: Joe Biden Welcomed 18,000 ‘Known or Suspected Terrorists’ to U.S

Alpha also mentioned in CA, where he lives they found a hidden Chinese bio-lab that had 4 nasty pathogens including Ebola.

Nov. 16, 2023 — Pathogens labeled ‘HIV’ and ‘Ebola’ found inside secret, illegal Chinese-owned biolab in California
Feb. 4, 2026 — Feds investigate alleged Chinese-linked biolab found in Las Vegas home
Why doesn’t the CDC care about Chinese biolabs in America?

Chinese biolabs have been found in Canada and California. … The illegal bio lab just raided in Las Vegas was operated by the same LLC and Chinese nationals as the one discovered in Reedley, CA.

I do not know if more were found.

Alpha reminds us that the CCP & Iran COORDINATE together and with the drug cartels.

One downside to open [visible] carry – it is a laser dot on a target.

What target, you ask?

The target that has a firearm-waiting-to-be-taken by a roving wolfpack [no offense to our blog’s owner] that dislikes paying for its firearms.

  :wpds_exclamation:    :wpds_question: 

Aubergine

I was trained that it is better to carry concealed. Open carry makes you the first target in any episode, because you are a threat.

kalbokalbs

Agree, first target, in a determined episode.

Otherwise first, deterrent.

Personal preference is concealed.

That said, i typically, Thank, Open Carry folk(s).

pgroup2

ThanQ for agreeing with me.  😂 

Gudthots

As is noted in the post above.

However, in a “heightend security scenario” he’s offering reasons to shift the truly reasonable position of concealed for everyday scenarios.

Why openly carry in a time of heightened threat? Rifles and carbines essentially have to be carried openly. They are unnecessary for ordinary day-to-day self-defense against criminals, but they become highly valuable in the face of terrorist attacks or active shooters. A long gun offers superior accuracy, range, penetration, and stopping power compared to any handgun. It is also far more visible, delivering a much stronger deterrent effect.

scott467

One big problem with open carry is that if anyone besides a properly dressed white man is openly carrying, every rational person in the vicinity is going to (rightfully) think something bad is about to happen.

That’s not rayciss, that’s reality.

And I’m a big proponent of reality.

If I see some rag-head, or some fatiguer openly carrying a firearm, that is not a deterrent of any kind. It’s a provocation.

And this will not change until the races are separated.

If the races are separated (as they ought to be), then the fatiguers can openly carry to their heart’s content in their section, living in their self-created war zones.

But if they step outside their zoo with open carry, that can only be interpreted as a signal of hostile intent.

The rag-heads should be outlawed and deported.

I realize this might take a period of adjustment for some people, who have been conditioned with decades of programmed nonsense like ‘can’t we all just get along?’

We have tried that for 50 years, and the answer to that question is a resounding “NO”.

White people tried, for half a century — and no one else did. Everyone else just took advantage.

So that’s over now.

Now white people play by the same rules as their abusers.

Hello Congresswoman

This has already been pointed out but allow us to reemphasize that:

Roughly 88% of Nevada’s transportation fuels — including nearly 90% of Southern Nevada’s supply and the Las Vegas area via the Calnev Pipeline — comes from California refineries.

With CA Democrat energy policy forcing the closure of major facilities, this dependency will mean higher prices & tighter supply ahead.

Nevada has virtually ZERO gasoline refining capacity of its own.

Just as Asian and European countries are learning that it is unwise to let their economies be vulnerable foreign geographic choke points —

We recommend Nevada decouple itself from CA energy policy as soon as possible.

Thank you for sharing your views.
We will certainly keep them in mind.

White House Posts Cryptic Messages to X (VIDEO)

The White House on Thursday posted a series of cryptic photos on X after posting and deleting a cryptic video.

Late Wednesday night the White House posted a mysterious video – then quickly deleted it, sparking a buzz.

X users pointed out that it sounded like White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt saying, “It’s launching soon, right?”

A male voices responds, “Yes.”

The White House posted another video later Wednesday night with a phone ping notification sound.

I posted that one here.

On Thursday afternoon, the White House posted a pixilated photo.

MLB star Alec Bohm sues his own PARENTS for more than $1million in shocking case

The parents of Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm used limited liability companies to funnel millions of dollars out of his financial accounts for their own use, according to a lawsuit obtained by the Daily Mail.

‘Though Alec’s investigation into the status of his assets remains on-going and is far from complete, an initial investigation leads Alec to believe and, therefore, aver that [his parents] Daniel and Lisa misappropriated a very large sum of money from Alec,’ read the complaint.

In total, Alec claims his parents tried to ‘freeze’ him out of four LLCs as they ‘converted a sizeable amount’ of his earnings into accounts intended for their own use. The 29-year-old slugger is seeking at least $1 million as well as interest, penalties, costs, attorneys’ fees and anything else the court deems appropriate.

Filed in Pennsylvania and first reported by the Philadelphia Inquirer, the lawsuit claims Daniel and Lisa Bohm set up two LLCs for their baseball star son in 2019 so they could manage his growing assets. Alec’s parents told him they would need to hold a 10-percent stake in the LLCs in order to administer his funds, but insisted he still ‘owned all the assets, funds, and anything else,’ according to the filing.

‘Daniel and Lisa repeatedly advised Alec that, whenever they acted on his behalf, they did so as Alec’s parents — whose assistance always came free of charge,’ the lawsuit continued.

Alec’s parents also launched a foundation in his name, but according to the lawsuit, both the LLCs and the charity were used by Daniel and Lisa for their own financial purposes.

Lisa and Daniel Bohm are accused of misappropriating their son’s financial assets 

‘With each transfer, Daniel and Lisa evidently grew bolder,’ read the complaint.

They even launched LLCs to control his personal residence, and again, took a 10-percent stake, insisting it was required for them to manage the property, the lawsuit claims.

But in January, when Alec asked his parents for information on the various holdings, Daniel and Lisa allegedly refused.

‘Daniel and Lisa, however, refused to provide any of the limited documentation that Alec sought, which included, for example, electronic login information, account statements, tax instruments, and other readily accessible documentation,’ read the lawsuit.

Instead, Daniel and Lisa engaged legal counsel, who ‘produced limited information to feign cooperation,’ the lawsuit continued.

And soon thereafter, Alec was informed by his parents’ attorney that they intended to submit invoices for all the money they believed they were owed for managing his assets.

‘In other words, Daniel and Lisa not only deceived Alec through their misrepresentations about the reason for their interests in [the LLCs], but also, Daniel and Lisa now claim that they possess equity rights and are due compensation for ‘services’ they provided in connection with the operations of [the LLCs],’ read the lawsuit.

Bohm’s parents denied wrongdoing in a statement through their attorneys.

‘Mr. and Mrs. Bohm love their son very much and have always acted in his best interests, both personally and professionally and still do so to this day,’ Robert Eckard, the pair’s attorney, told the Inquirer. ‘They are deeply saddened by the allegations made against them in this lawsuit and the sensational false narrative painted here, which they believe are entirely without merit.’

That last paragraph is not a reliable denial, IMO. They didn’t say that they didn’t do what they are accused of. 

Wolf Moon

One possible explanation is that the son is a reckless spendthrift, the parents know it, and they decided that they could keep him from flagrantly spending away all his money by controlling it “for him” – but now he’s starting to demand to fritter away his earnings on stuff like women and partying and hot rides and stupid crap – and – well – parents don’t want to give him the passwords. 😅

Where’s my 🍿.

TheseTruths

Yes, as I read it I thought that one side or the other is lying. I don’t know why a 29-year-old man would have his parents managing his money. He must have thought he could trust them more than someone he could hire.

As for women and partying, he is in a relationship with Erin Dolan of ESPN.

He was only 20yrs old when they took over his accounting. How bad a reckless spendthrift can a person barely out of high school be?

He became their golden goose providing them with a very comfortable lifestyle. They didn’t have to do anything but “manage” the money. It’s a story as old as Hollywood or royals or music industry…relatives and others use the talented one for their $$$

pgroup2

In your comment, is there an implication that they shouldn’t expect a return on their investment [yes a child is an investment]?

mollypitcher5

No. From the brief explanation above it seems like they (and their counsel) possibly relied on the son’s income for their lifestyle. Surely they expected that eventually he could/would assume responsibility for the assets and investments?
I have no issue with them and a return on handling the kid’s affairs but we’ve seen many a manager parent of very successful child stars that bilked them and didn’t want to give it up.

Anyhoo, there’s probably a lot more going on here and since your birthday seems to be extended it’s most likely time for birthday spankings!!

Seriously, Hollywood parental grift scandal is its own section at Daily Mail!

mollypitcher5

hahah true that. Lots of musicians have been blindsided by money managers too. The parents have done well by taking care of the son’s assets. That’s good but now he’s a full grown adult so maybe time for them to live off their own investments that they acquired while managing his moolah?

My high school boyfriend was one of the most talented athletes I ever saw, but was a dumb as a box of rocks. He looked like Channing Tatum, so I dated him, lol. He was gorgeous. He played literally every sport in school, and excelled at them all.

He ruined his life, because nobody protected him from his own dumbness. If his parents had “managed him,” he’d have been a major league pitcher. As was, he ended up in prison. Last I heard, he was a “golf pro” in Florida.

Being talented doesn’t always mean being intelligent. I give parents the benefit of the doubt. That said, maybe they are living off their kid. Who knows?

Net Zero Activists Stumped By Shock New Evidence Showing No Link Between CO2 & Temperature Over Last Three Million Years

The climate science world (‘settled’ division) is in shock following the discovery in ancient ice cores that levels of carbon dioxide remained stable as the world plunged into an ice age around 2.7 million years ago. Levels of CO2 at around 250 parts per million (ppm) were said to be lower than often assumed with just a 20 ppm movement recorded for the following near three million-year period. In addition, no changes in methane levels were seen in the entire period. Massive decreases in temperature with occasional interglacial rises appear to have occurred without troubling ‘greenhouse’ gas levels, and this revelation has caused near panic in activist circles.

The assumed level three million years ago of CO2 was around 400 ppm, a convenient mark that has been used to explain the subsequent ice age and a drop to 250 ppm. Due to the recently published paper, this explanation has become more problematic and natural climate variation is correctly noted to have occurred with the temperature changes. Alas, similar explanations are mostly ignored in discussing today’s climate changes in the interests of promoting the Net Zero fantasy. Some cling desperately to a dominant CO2 role, including one of the authors of the findings published in Nature. The co-author states that the results suggest even greater climate sensitivity to the warming effect of CO2. In short, there is a great deal of applying the laws of physics and chemistry to one era, but failing to extend the same courtesy to another.

The title of the paper, produced by 17 America-based scientists, was enough to set alarm bells ringing in the ‘settled’ science, Net Zero-obsessed community: ‘Broadly stable atmospheric CO2 and CH4 levels over the past three million years.’ 

…In fact the evidence is so slim that Les Hatton, Emeritus Professor in Computer Science at Kingston University, was recently able to determine from ice core records that 100-year rises of 1.1°C in the current interglacial, which started 20,000 years ago, have occurred in one in six centuries. Going back 150,000 years, the frequency was around one in six to one in 20 centuries. None of these findings suggest that current warming is either unusual or primarily caused by human activity. Needless to say, none of these findings trouble the headline writers in narrative-addicted mainstream media.

From the open:

It is more important then ever for all persons (including parents of children from birth up to age 18) to take charge of their health. To question the “why” behind a “recommendation” by a healthcare professional regarding taking any “vaccine”, let alone any drug. 

Unfortunately, we know the “whys.” It will keep you from getting sick or sicker, it will keep your family from getting sick, it is needed to keep the entire population well, you need it because you are vulnerable in some way, etc. People need to be ready with solid answers, and questions, and that’s hard for many to do. It’s intimidating for some to stand up to the experts. That’s why it’s so unfortunate that the health agencies are not doing the work to protect us. Do we need to try to communicate directly with RFKJ? I don’t see any focus on these issues except for here.

TheseTruths

If not interested, skip this Jesse Watters report on Savannah Guthrie’s return to Today, an interview of her, how hard this has been on the family, and how the investigation has yielded nothing.

JUST IN: THE BACKDOOR OF NANCY GUTHRIE’S HOME WAS LEFT WIDE OPEN

Savannah Guthrie SPEAKS OUT, revealing CHILLING NEW DETAILS

“We thought it was a MEDICAL emergency” ****

The Brother’s BONE-CHILLING Phone Call: “I think she was KIDNAPPED for ransom”

The Guthrie Family believes the RANSOM NOTES are REAL

In the beginning, Savannah wanted to post a $1m reward for information, but the cops said it would result in too many false leads. 

The only thing I can figure is that, if this was a supposed kidnapping for ransom, no exchange was made because Nancy had been deceased from the beginning and someone was trying to extort money from the family. They couldn’t provide proof of life. So some criminal is still out there, probably having caused the death of Nancy.

Wolf Moon

That’s my guess, too. She’s deceased, probably from medical problems and no treatment.

Aubergine

I think they accidentally killed her before they got her out of the house. They took her anyway, and attempted the extortion. It didn’t work, and they buried her somewhere in the desert. She’ll probably never be found unless they get lucky and catch the guy(s). I don’t think they will; they are inept.

mollypitcher5

I don’t understand why they don’t use that “ping” detector thing that can be attached to aircraft, flying over vast miles of the desert. It can pick up the signal of her pacemaker that they say continues to signal even if she’s not alive. The investigation has been crap since day one.

kalbokalbs

Along those lines.

One report had when “Nancy was kidnapped”, bad guys did NOT take Nancy’s heart medicine. Depending on med and strength, could be significant.

Couple with Nancy’s ~84yo, whatever physical and mental capabilities.

Physical treatment during kidnapping and detention.

Recipe for disaster – death.

Bottom Line. It’s a big, big desert out there. Nancy will never be found.

No closure for family. Bad guys likely never held accountable.

IIRC. A reward was made available via demanded Bitcoin. Never retrieved.

Dumbass way to retrieve a randsom.

pgroup2

Probably didn’t know Nancy was taking a heart med. Only close [trusted] peeps would know that.

kalbokalbs

Yup.

pgroup2

At the start of this, I said it was likely manslaughter at best. My hypothesis is that Nancy said no to a money request by Savannah’s sister and spouse after they had been accustomed to Nancy saying yes to earlier requests.

One of the two lost control and struck/pushed Nancy. The striking was likely hard enough to knock her off balance [and she struck her head while falling] OR the striking was hard enough to trigger a heart attack.

Stuck with a dead relative and blood stains, they panicked. Dragged the body out the back door and buried it somewhere. Police may have already found the body and are waiting for one of the two to relax, at which point an oral slip connecting them to the death will be the ‘break’ in the case.

Everybody knows Nancy is dead but there is one more dot to be connected.

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Doesn’t that rub salt in the kidnapper’s hide that now she’s more famous than ever? It feels odd to me but that’s tv land I guess.

An urgent investigation is underway after a military Black Hawk helicopter crossed in front of a packed passenger flight as it attempted to land in California. The pilots took evasive action to avoid a possible midair crash. @TrevorLAult reports. https://abcnews.link/oS29Q4z

Wolf Moon

Thanks. WOW. Yeah, the ATC situation is not good. We need way more people.

TheseTruths

My impression is that there are communication failures too. It seems unthinkable that some of these situations are allowed to take place, like the fire truck and the plane not being able to hear what was being said to the other one. It’s basic common sense that that would be important.

There have been other close calls, like one in D.C. last year, where it is said that that kind of thing happens frequently. It seems that the logistics need to be adjusted.

I have not seen any reports about what happened to the occupant(s) of the fire truck. It’s as if he/they don’t exist. It makes me think the truck might have been shoved aside by the plane and that the majority of the damage to the plane resulted from impact with the ground rather than the truck.

kalbokalbs

Two in fire truck injured. Hospital. No further information.

My take is the truck, as it entered the runway, tried to veer hard left. Too late.

AC nose landed on truck. Entire, or major portion of truck shoved, to the right of the AC.. AC front tipped up, after all passengers, headed to the back of the AC. (One report.) Gravity could have had the AC settle on it’s tail. Perhaps, part of the truck, in the debris under AC front section.. Dunno.

I can’t imagine, ATC, pilot, AND ground vehicles on the same frequency. Total information overload.

As posted previously, ground vehicles need to hear, ATC and AC chatter.

  • AND, even after ground clearance to cross an active runway, BOTH driver and passenger, STOP, Look Both Ways.

ATC screwed up. Juggling too many things at the same time, lost awareness of AC/truck paths Truck contributing factor(s). As is weather.

kalbokalbs

Unless a runway is shutdown, or airport closed, ALL vehicles should Stop, before crossing runways. Look both ways. Driver AND passenger.

It’s damn common sense.

I’ve been driving so long, I don’t know how the instinct to look both ways before crossing ANY road could be thwarted. But I see it all the time.

There are quite a few four-way crossings in my backwards little town with no stop signs. Two are on each end of the block my house is on. There are at least 3-4 accidents a year. People take my right-of-way and blow through without looking all the time. It’s nuts. It’s like they are totally oblivious.

And it could be down stream with the TRAINER being a DEI promotion and not doing the correct training.

Gudthots

We need way more COMPETANT, RESTED, EXPERIENCED air traffic controllers. Where are we going to get them?

Wolf Moon

Like I said, with people on the inside saying we need more of them as part of that solution, I would start there. Next, RETAINING the experienced ones is critical. Burnout is cited. Hmmmm. Allowing REST also requires others to fill in. Etc. I’ve seen too much “reduce the headcount” thinking in tech. It always backfires – often in novel ways.

IMO AI can be of assistance, but that requires many controllers to assist in training (needs to be done not to “replace”, but to ASSIST human controllers). A partnership of truthful humans and truthful AI is needed. That requires MAGA thinking, and TRUTH-centered thinking (Elon, Grok, etc.), not current MSM-compliant TECH thinking that serves investors with shallow thinking.

What we are seeing with Big Pharma pushing back on MAHA in vaccine space seems like the Achilles heel of MAGA – use economics to mislead and corner Trump – and I think the stupid Left has glommed onto it in their insane rage against Trump. They would rather kill their own with bad pharma to get Trump, than allow the childhood vaccine schedule to drop to Scandinavian socialist standards. Good GRIEF!!!

Using conventional processes they couldn’t even upgrade the ATC systems. If they airport radio systems were better, that truck might not have been unclear about whether it could go or not.

It does seem, ATC asked the United AC if they were warned about local traffic.

There is a lot we have not heard on this incident. Likely won’t, as there was no collision.

FROM FICTION TO REAL LIFE: The Tomb of 17th Century French Military Leader D’Artagnan, Immortalized in Alexandre Dumas’ ‘The Three Musketeers’, May Have Been Found in Dutch Church

Even people like me, who love Alexandre Dumas’ serialized masterpiece ‘The Three Musketeers’, may not be aware that the young hero D’Artagnan was based on a real person, Charles de Batz de Castelmore.

Later known as Count D’Artagnan, Charles was a French military leader who served Louis XIV as captain of the Musketeers of the Guard.

He was immortalized in the books, but his real-life final resting place remained a mystery for centuries, since his death in 1673.

But now, this mystery may be over about the fate of the ‘fourth musketeer’.

The Telegraph reported:

“Hopes are high that DNA testing will confirm that the bones found in St Peter and Paul church in Wolder, near Maastricht, belong to Charles de Batz de Castelmore, the Earl of Artagnan or ‘D’Artagnan’.

“Such a result would be a twist worthy of the tales of derring-do, espionage, brotherhood and courtly intrigue that made the motto ‘All for one and one for all’ famous.”

Archaeologist Wim Dijkman:

“My expectations are high. I have been researching D’Artagnan’s tomb for 28 years. This could be the highlight of my career. So far, nothing has been found that contradicts the idea that this is him. But again, I am awaiting the DNA analysis.”

The real life D’Artagnan was King Louis XIV’s low-paid but highly regarded elite royal bodyguard, who was also entrusted with secret missions.

“He played an important role in a string of French military successes before being killed on June 25, 1673, when he was shot in the chest or throat during the siege of Maastricht. The King wrote sorrowfully to the Queen that he had ‘lost D’Artagnan, in whom I had every confidence’.”

What do they possess in order to make a DNA comparison? I don’t think they have his toothbrush. 🤔 Maybe there exists a lock of his hair…

cthulhu

It would be something to find he was the g-g-g-g-grandfather of someone known to be his g-g-g-g-grandaughter. Not totally dispositive, but a data point.

cthulhu

As a side note, some locks of hair are better than others.

Hair grows from a follicle [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hair_follicle] until it’s done. When the hair falls out, it retains a bunch of cells from the follicle with DNA in them. The actual hair is mainly keratin, which has jack for usable DNA.

So if you have a lock of hair trimmed from someone’s tresses, it isn’t very useful for DNA…..but if you have combed hair, it can be very useful.

Aubergine

I did some poking around. It looks like there are descendants, originating with two sons fathered by D’Artagnan.

Long, looooong ago, when I was in elementary school, we lived in a neighborhood where the parents were mostly European immigrants; Dutch, English, Irish, Scottish, Italian, Serbian, German, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, and Mexican (OK, not EU but not illegal, either). Since it was before Hart-Celler in 1965, very few non-European immigrants made it into the USA through immigration…

Anyway, we had slurs and epithets and insults and jokes going in all directions, and I learned a whole bunch of new words 😆

One for the Germans was “Short and stout, Sauerkraut”. Another was “Slimy Limey” so we of Brit descent didn’t escape unscathed either 🙂

We all developed thick skins, resilience, and the ability to make and take a joke, something that today’s snowflake generations have missed entirely…

My friend at the top of the street was Dutch, and I was over at his house when his Mum came by, asking if we’d like something to eat… it was afternoon, so I was surprised when she brought us some pancakes 🙂 I thought to myself, are they so bad off that they have to reuse breakfast? [they were really good pancakes, by the way, not like the concrete ones you get if you follow the Bisquick recipe 🙂 ]…

So, I went home and explained my adventure to my English Mum, who laughed hysterically when I said I thought that the only snack they could afford was pancakes… (second-hand pancakes?).

Culture shock…. Mum ended up explaining a lot of the differences between European countries and the USA… I was lucky, I think, to be able to have such diverse (in a GOOD SENSE) classmates and friends…

Kentucky child killer walks free on ‘good behavior,’ gets arrested again — FOX NEWS Dec 2025

Ronald Exantus was released early from 20-year sentence for stabbing 6-year-old Logan Tipton in Kentucky home invasion

So he served less than 10 years for killing a child and stabbing others! CONVICTED KILLER OF 6-YEAR-OLD BOY WALKS FREE AFTER SERVING LESS THAN HALF HIS 20-YEAR SENTENCE [Started sentence in 2018 so MAX 8 years]

Despite confessing, Exantus was found not guilty of murder by reason of insanity at trial. Instead, a jury found him guilty of the other assaults on Logan’s family during the home invasion

On Oct. 1, Exantus was released before moving to Marion County, Florida. However, he was arrested eight days later for failing to register as a convicted felon with the local sheriff’s office within 48 hours of arriving, which was required by the conditions of his parole, the New York Post reported. 

He has since been extradited to Kentucky. However, he could be released next year with no parole restrictions.

Ex-University of Kentucky student sent to jail for shouting N-word 200 times in viral video is denied early release

A former University of Kentucky co-ed whose drunken racist rant went viral is staying behind bars.

Sophia Rosing, 24, who was hit with a one-year sentence last year after shouting the N-word more than 200 times during a series of drunken racial assaults, has been denied early release, according to a report by the Courier-Journal newspaper…

Rosing then went off on cops when they showed up, kicking and biting them before being hauled away.

She pleaded guilty to assault charges in October in exchange for a 12-month sentence and 100 hours of community service, along with a $25 fine.

This has video that show the two got physical:

@DataRepublican
MAJOR BREAKING: A $15+ MILLION DOE contractor and NoKings protest organizer with active nuclear security contracts is on camera recommending a color revolution “how-to”

His name is Steven A. Cash. Former CIA officer (Balkans, Clinton era). Under Biden: Senior Advisor to the Undersecretary at DHS Intelligence & Analysis.

The day after Trump’s 2016 election, Cash co-founded “The Steady State” — a network of more than 340 former intelligence community officials who decided Trump was an “existential threat”.

When Biden won, the threat was gone. Cash went into Biden’s DHS. His own words: “we disappeared.”

Then Trump won again. “Suddenly the existential threat was back.” The Steady State reactivated and is now a planning partner with NoKings. In the clip below, their meeting recommends “Bringing Down a Dictator” — the Otpor documentary about toppling Milošević — as “a how-to.”

Meanwhile, Cash’s company Deck Prism LLC holds $15+ million in Department of Energy contracts. Almost every one: sole-source or non-competed. One is for the National Nuclear Security Administration — our nuclear weapons program — justified because “disclosure would compromise national security.”

His FEC records: 20+ donations over 20 years. 100% Democratic. Zero Republican. Including $1,001 to Kamala Harris on August 4, 2024, while his NNSA nuclear contract was active.

I have the USAspending receipts, the FEC filings, and him on camera twice.

A bit of the Text:

The Steady State claims “501(c)(4)” status on their Substack. But I couldn’t find that.

But in a SCOTUS brief (Newsom v. Trump, Oct 2025) they called themselves an “unincorporated association.” And used the same address as in the DOE contracts…

Now the members of The Steady State.

Marc Polymeropoulos CO-AUTHORED the Hunter Biden laptop letter that 51 intel officials signed before the 2020 election.

Douglas Wise signed it, then ADMITTED he knew the laptop was real

onathan Winer — State Dept conduit for BOTH the Steele dossier AND the Shearer “second dossier” via Sidney Blumenthal.

Jeffrey Castelli — CIA station chief convicted by an Italian court in absentia for CIA war crimes.

The Steady State is the IC’s node in the color revolution network I’ve been mapping: IMIP, DemAID, 50501, NoKings. This is how the intelligence community plugs in.

Start with this thread:

MAJOR BREAKING: International actors are involved in the State Department led color revolution 🚨🚨

This is not speculation; it’s straight from a recorded call.

Ex-USAID employees describe how, before January 20, they moved internal groups off government systems and into encrypted Signal chats, then quickly linked with foreign partners and NGOs after the inauguration. This attempt at creating a color revolution isn’t new news; this part was already reported in NOTUS earlier this year.

But what’s not reported is the international aspect. One participant explicitly frames it as “a global anti-authoritarian movement,” connecting U.S. officials with “colleagues from around the world who have dealt with this directly.”

They reference coordination with Johns Hopkins, “international democracy and conflict mitigation spaces,” and efforts to mobilize across borders against what they perceive as domestic authoritarianism.

At what point does this become treason?

BREAKING.

The Senate just passed funding for most of DHS for the rest of the fiscal year.

The bill funds all but ICE and *Border Patrol*

This was by unanimous voice vote.  It now goes to the House, which is still in town and can vote later today.

The bill contains no reforms. It comes after POTUS pledged to fund TSA, removing a key pressure point.

Gudthots

OBBB already funded ICE for something like 4 years.

patfrederick

this explains more:

Bill Melugin
@BillMelugin_
Some color on who is & isn’t being paid in ICE & CBP via the One Big Beautiful Bill.

Most of ICE & CBP are funded through 2029 via the OBBB and operations won’t be impacted if they aren’t funded through appropriations, for now. 

All frontline law enforcement is being paid. The ICE, Border Patrol, and CBP agents we see in the field are all getting paid via OBBB. 

HOWEVER… their professional and civilian support staff are NOT being paid. These are people who work the computers, the public affairs offices, and other support staff who aren’t on the front line making immigration arrests, but are supporting the agents who are.

These civilian support staffers haven’t been paid for almost half of the last six months when you factor in the prior shutdown last fall. They feel left behind – and feel they have no light at the end of the tunnel with this Senate bill leaving CBP & ICE unfunded through appropriations. They would have to hope GOP could take care of them in a future reconciliation bill, or that more funds could be moved around to pay them. 

These are some texts I’ve gotten from these staffers…

CBP support employee: 

“The senate bill paid TSA but thousands of CBP & ICE professional staff will not be paid.  The last paid work day for me was February 13. Now senate on paid vacation until April 13 that is a guarantee for 2 months no pay. Very likely we won’t be paid until May if Johnson lets the bill pass.”

ICE civilian employee:

“I have a huge favor. When you guys report on the fact that ICE is funded through OB3 funds, can you please make it known that support staff (i.e. mission support, OPA, etc.) is NOT getting paid?”

HSI civilian employee:

“We civilians are not getting paid, I’m working with my mom in the hospital and not getting paid. This is all so frustrating…sorry bill for venting!”

Gudthots

Scandalous.

kalbokalbs

SAVE America Act losing focus…as Uniparty planned.

  1. TSA funded. DumRats lost PR discussion
  2. ICE CBP reconciliation.

BREAKING: The Senate has PASSED a bill to fund DHS and pay TSA agents in a last-minute deal, and the House must now pass it

It does NOT include ICE and CBP — that needs reconciliation, which is only 50+1 votes

  1. Get it done ASAP!

This makes no sense because ICE is already funded by BBBill.

It cannot be unfunded.

Here is another NAIL in big Pharma’s coffin from Midwestern Doctor AND the tie in to the City of London/Banksters. Seems the Rockefellers kept control of Big Pharma. David Rockefeller was head of Chase for years.

The Great Alzheimer’s Scam and The Proven Cures They’ve Buried for BillionsDecades of neglect in understanding the actual causes of dementia have transformed it into one of the most costly diseases in existence.

…Recently, the fate of the failed amyloid drugs appeared to be changing, as a new pharmaceutical (a monoclonal antibody) demonstrated some success in treating Alzheimer’s—something which was treated as revolutionary by the medical community, the pharmaceutical industry, and drug regulators, as all of them had been waiting for decades for a drug like that to emerge. In turn, the first new drug received accelerated approval (which the FDA proudly announced), due to the controversy surrounding the first one. The second received a quiet backdoor approval, while the third was partially approved a year and a half later.

Each year, Chase Bank holds a private conference for pharmaceutical investors, which sets the tone for the entire industry. In 2023 (the first in-person one since the pandemic), its focus (covered in detail here) was on the incredible profitability of the new Alzheimer’s drugs and the GLP-1s like Ozempic (which the FDA has also relentlessly promoted). While much could be said about the jubilation of that private conference, in my eyes, the most crucial detail was that the (widely viewed as corrupt) FDA commissioner was the keynote speaker, and a few days before the conference, had enacted the second backdoor approval.

However, despite the rosy pictures painted around the drugs (which each attacked different aspects of amyloids), they were highly controversial as:

•The FDA’s independent advisory panel, in a very unusual move, voted 10-0 (with one abstaining) against approving the first amyloid drug (which targeted amyloid plaques), then the FDA approved it anyways. In a highly unprecedented move, three of the advisors resignedcalling it “probably the worst drug approval decision in recent U.S. history.”

•That drug was priced at $56,000 a year—making it sufficient to bankrupt Medicare, which attracted a Congressional investigation and led to each subsequent one being priced roughly half that amount (along with its price later being reduced to match that).

•Brain swelling or brain bleeding was found in 41% of patients enrolled in its studies. Additionally, headaches (including migraines and occipital neuralgia), falls, diarrhea, confusion, and delirium were also notably elevated compared to placebo.

Thanks, PAVACA, for yet more evidence of the perfidity of our “betters.”

The more I read, and the more I think about the situation we have with healthcare, Big Pharma, and Big Medicine in our country, the more I believe that someone(s), somewhere, at the very top of our government has decided that, if we are gullible enough to take their poison, or give it to our children, well then, we deserve what we get.

Whether this is a “conscious” decision, or an underlying, subconscious one, matters not one bit.

We have been abandoned to the “Big Money” machines. I have only one piece of advice for anyone at this point, and it’s really simple; as much as you possibly can, BE AMISH.

Go to church, eat clean, preferably homegrown food (look around and buy from farmers), don’t take vaccines, and stay away from “medicine.”

The “go to church” piece is the most important, but maybe for a different reason than most people would think. GOD and FAITH are important, because understanding that death is not “unnatural” or “tragic,” but inevitable and in the hands of a Higher Power is how you avoid the FEAR OF DEATH that allows Big Medicine and Big Pharma to work their lies on you in the first place. We are NOT in control, and there is heaven awaiting us.

The “myth” of vaccines, medicines, and “treatment” in general is prolonging life. That’s it. I am in no way against interventions like surgeries that improve QUALITY of life, like joint replacement and such. But when you have terminal cancer, what is the point of treatment, other than to destroy whatever time you have left?

Think about it; the FEAR of catching a bad flu has literally destroyed the quality of life for millions of people around the world.

patfrederick

AND enhanced the lives of all those who benefited monetarily.

RDS

Thank you.

IMO, I think that human beings are “wired” to survive. To live as long as they can.

IMO, I think that the concept of Quality of Life is a multifaceted thing.
Take the case of the late Stephen Hawking. He was diagnosed with a “slow-growing”, but eventually fatal, case of ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease) when he was 22 years old. For the next 54 years, he fought that disease. Yes, he had people to help him. Yes, he lived in a wheelchair for decades. Yes, he had personal problems (he and his first wife divorced; he married another woman; they divorced; Dr. Hawking developed a close relationship with ex-wife #1 and their three children.)

But, at the same time, Stephen Hawking created several theories that would change some aspects of astrophysics forever, such as the “Black Hole” theory. He traveled all over the world. He wrote books. He taught at universities. He was determined to live his life for as long as he could, and in the way that he wanted to live it.

Yours Truly isn’t saying that all persons who have a terminal disease have to do the kinds of things that Stephen Hawking did. What is important is to understand that human beings are “wired” to live — and to live the longest and best life they can — without fear.

“Assisted suicide” / MAiD are now being offered as “options” for persons with terminal illnesses.

In Canada, MAiD is now being offered to persons who have emotional illnesses, in addition to those who have terminal physical illnesses.
In Spain, a young woman was just euthanized by the government after years of depression following her being gang-r*ped by “migrants.”
These governments believe that euthanizing persons with emotional issues is saving money.

The case of the young woman in Spain:

Stephen Hawking was an atheist who was also a guest on Epstein island.

I think we are talking about two different things. Humans are “hard-wired” for survival, yes. But faith in an afterlife mitigates that. People who “live at all costs” because they have no belief that there is anything after this are frequently very destructive people.

and selfish to boot!

Sir ES

I’m glad that you brought it up, because I’ve read a condensed version of his “A Brief History of Time,” and his atheism oozed blasphemy. He would have failed first-semester philosophy.

In this regard, he was exceptionally ignorant of divinity, of God.

Although the mathematics he applied to black holes comported with current convention (‘virtual particles’ are only implied, never seen or experimentally measured), still IMO his contributions are rather small potatoes.

He claimed that black holes could evaporate, yet the time required was many orders of magnitude greater that the current estimate of the age of the universe.

Effectively, his evaporation theory is moot, useless in practice.

Physicists in general are *materialists*, whether they say so explicitly or inwardly believe so implicitly. Meaning, they are Marxists, and have progressively regressed into becoming heathens, a.k.a. COMMUNISTS.

There are some physicists of faith, who understand that the physical *isn’t* everything. Nicola Tesla relied on the Bible, and was wise enough to properly put materialism subordinate to (mono-)theism / divinity / faith in God.

I intensely disliked Hawking’s gross arrogance, manifested in his words and perspectives.

Btw, the anons did post an evening photo from LSJ, with Hawkins at table (and Billy C) with others, including likely under-age teens all around.

Sickening.

Gail Combs

“…Physicists in general are *materialists*, whether they say so explicitly or inwardly believe so implicitly. Meaning, they are Marxists, and have progressively regressed into becoming heathens, a.k.a. COMMUNISTS….”

I disagree with that, at least for the older physicists. I was married to two, dated others and Hubby’s friends were physicists. NONE were Marxists.

To put it bluntly you have to be either greedy or stupid to go for that crap. I figured out Communism was flawed when I was nine.

Sir ES

I tend to read up on the well-known physicists, rather than the rank-and-file, and the incidence of those in the former category invoking God (with reverence) has gone steadily down hill.

Lawrence Krause also went down to Epstein Island, and apart from being pure asshoe, he declared that God doesn’t exist.

Also Lee Smolin, who wrote that the mind is merely quantum-state changes. He was a fervent adherent of string theory for over a decade, then he became disillusioned, and dropped it altogether. Mercurial and fickle, and vain.

IIRC, Fermilab sports a statue of the pagan Indian god of destruction (Shiva) right outside its entrance.

CERN has something similar: practically all of the well-known particle accelerators create a culture of atheism.

I didn’t mean to paint such a broad brush, just that the physics *industry* has become increasingly vain … and evil.

Greedy? Yes – too many are. Stupid? Yes also, but more EQ-lacking rather than IQ-lacking. I’ve come to believe that a deficit of EQ is far more dangerous than any score of IQ!

It took me *much* longer to understand the many and various “-isms” than it did for you, but at least I got there!

Lastly, the Fermilab YouTube channel host, Don Lincoln, ends his videos with the tag-line, “Remember, physics is everything!”

Of course, it isn’t!

The U.S. just deployed robot speedboats to the Gulf and it’s about time

The Pentagon confirmed for the first time that uncrewed drone boats are patrolling the Strait of Hormuz during Operation Epic Fury.

The GARC, a 5-meter autonomous speedboat, has logged 450+ hours and 2,200 nautical miles on patrol.

These vessels can run surveillance or be used as kamikazes against Iranian fast-attack boats.

Ukraine proved the concept by crippling Russia’s Black Sea Fleet with explosive drone boats reportedly costing around $250,000 each.

For context, a single Iranian anti-ship cruise missile costs millions and a U.S. destroyer runs about $2 billion.

Iran has already used sea drones to hit oil tankers twice during this war.

The U.S. was late to the game but is finally playing it.

Alpha  on Mar 25, floated the idea that Trump is well aware of the Trojan MAGA influencers AND just as with IRAN he TRIGGERED THEM TOO EARLY for them to actually be effective. Also once outed they lose most of their influence.

He spends 4 hours goes thru clips of Joe Kent’s showing up or being discussed at Candice Owens, Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones,  Douglas Macgregor and several others. Most are yelling Trump is controlled by Israel and Iran is another Forever War.

….

What is REALLY interesting is Charlie Kirk’s 2nd in command who now runs TPUSA is a good friend of Joe Kent. He is supposedly the one that gave Kent [A GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE] the clip of the conference call where Charlie complains of Israeli Donor Pressure.

Alpha thinks that Kent then passed that clip, that started off the firestorm to Candice Owens. There are statements by Kent in the clips that point to that. Remember Alpha is a police officer and good at integration. He is trained to spot how stuff is worded and the body language.

Was the clip real?

Is Kent being used with or without his knowledge?

It does not matter. The Trump is controlled by Israel and Iran is another Forever War.’ is being floated and going viral just before POTUS is going to end the war and probably have the Board of Peace — NOT ISRAEL handle things from there.

….

THE BOARD OF PEACE

…The charter gives Trump wide-ranging powers as chair of the Board of Peace, allowing him to appoint as well as remove member states – a decision that can only be overturned by a two-thirds majority of members.

Countries that join the board will serve a limited three-year term unless they contribute over $1bn within the first year of its operations…

On 18 January, Egypt, India, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia were among dozens of countries to say they were invited and have since said they are deliberating the matter. 

As of 19 January, however, it remained unclear whether Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was also invited…

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has convened a meeting with his top advisers to discuss Donald Trump‘s “Board of Peace” for Gaza, after it revealed the US did not include Israel in talks to do with its creation.

Thank you.
Is Andrew Kolvet the one who gave the information to Joe Kent?

The “Trump is run by Israel” message is being run with by places like https://www.theburningplatform.com/, https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/, https://paulcraigroberts.org/, and many more websites.

Maybe, after four hours my eyes were crossed!

However it certainly seems that a heck of a lot of ‘influencers’ are getting OUTED 🤗

I think that is very important as we head to the mid terms.

We are certainly in the middle of a 5th gen war.

Richard S Courtney (at WUWT) was an Englishman working on the Coal to Fuel conversion decades ago. He mentioned it once or twice. The details were top secret at the time.

I wonder if the Chinese stole it.

I think the Germans were doing it in the WWII timeframe as well.

Now, they’re getting ready to flood the largest brown coal deposit in Germany, if not all of Europe, to appease the gangGreens…

EACH DAY WE TAKE UP THE OFFENSIVE WEAPON OF THE WORD OF GOD – THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT – ONE VERSE OPENS THE DOOR TO THE CONTEXT OF THE CHAPTER MESSAGE

Verse of the Day for Friday, March 27, 2026

“And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.”

Jeremiah 29:13 (KJV)

COMMENTARY FOR JEREMIAH 29:13

Two letters to the captives in Babylon; In the first, they are recommended to be patient and composed. (1-19) In the second, judgments are denounced against the false prophets who deceived them. (20-32)

8-19 Let men beware how they call those prophets whom they choose after their own fancies, and how they consider their fancies and dreams to be revelations from God. False prophets flatter people in their sins, because they love to be flattered; and they speak smoothly to their prophets, that their prophets may speak smoothly to them. God promises that they should return after seventy years were accomplished. By this it appears, that the seventy years of the captivity are not to be reckoned from the last captivity, but the first. It will be the bringing to pass of God’s good word to them. This shall form God’s purposes. We often do not know our own minds, but the Lord is never at an uncertainty. We are sometimes ready to fear that God’s designs are all against us; but as to his own people, even that which seems evil, is for good. He will give them, not the expectations of their fears, or the expectations of their fancies, but the expectations of their faith; the end he has promised, which will be the best for them. When the Lord pours out an especial spirit of prayer, it is a good sign that he is coming toward us in mercy. Promises are given to quicken and encourage prayer. He never said, Seek ye me in vain. Those who remained at Jerusalem would be utterly destroyed, notwithstanding what the false prophets said to the contrary. The reason has often been given, and it justifies the eternal ruin of impenitent sinners; Because they have not hearkened to my words; I called, but they refused.

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.

another muzzie development–this one is in GA–and the developers are calling it Gaza Strip.

FTA
A new 61,000 square foot Muslim dining and shopping facility id being developed in Georgia
The developer and person doing the legal paperwork are both Muslim from Palestine
They’re making videos calling it the “Gaza Strip” in America
“The real estate developer is “Palestinian. His brother, who’s doing all the legal paperwork, is also Palestinian. I watched some videos. They jokingly call it the Gaza Strip”
“I came across this other facility that they are trying to rezone for in Lilburn — including 104 tenant properties. It went before the rezoning board in August 2025 and what it appears it was kicked back (for now) — the LLC’s name was taqua. If you look that up, that’s Sharia based Finance. That should be concerning to everyone”

Allow me to emphasize the portion of our constitution that says, in essence, that this only works if DJT allows it:

/////////////////////
Art. 2, Sect. 3.-1. He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient; he may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect to the Time of Adjournment, he may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper; he shall receive Ambassadors and other public Ministers; he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed, and shall Commission all the Officers of the United States.

DataRepublican (small r)
@DataRepublican
Hello Senator Thune,

At 3 AM on Friday, March 27th, in a near-empty chamber, you passed a bill by voice vote that excludes all funding for ICE and CBP.

Let me repeat that: voice vote. No roll call. No record of who was there. No accountability. Just you, Barrasso, and a handful of senators shuffling paper in the dead of night while America slept.

You could have demanded a recorded vote. You chose not to.

You could have held the line for five more days until the House returned. You chose not to.

You could have used the same procedural tools Democrats have used against you for 40 days. You chose not to.

Instead, you gave Chuck Schumer exactly what he asked for, DHS funding minus immigration enforcement, and called it a win. Then you walked to the cameras and blamed the Democrats.

Let’s be precise about what you did:

1. You caved to a demand Democrats made on Day 1 of this shutdown. Forty-one days of supposed hardball negotiation, and you settled for their opening offer.
2. You handed them a template. The next time Democrats want to defund any agency — ICE, CBP, or anything else — they now know: just shut down DHS and wait. John Thune will fold at 3 AM.
3. You punted to reconciliation. “Good possibility,” you said. Not “we will.” Not “guaranteed.” Just maybe. Meanwhile, ICE operates on fumes from last year’s bill with no certainty of future funding.

The precedent you set:

You have argued for months that the filibuster is sacrosanct. That the 60-vote threshold protects minority rights. That we cannot bend Senate rules for policy wins.

But at 3 AM on Friday, you bent every norm that actually mattered:

• Voice vote to avoid accountability
• Empty chamber to avoid debate
• Midnight deal to avoid scrutiny
• Immediate recess to avoid questions

You’ll bend the rules to avoid a fight. You just won’t bend them to win one.

What you’ve actually accomplished:

Democrats demanded ICE restrictions. They got ICE defunded.

Not reformed. Not restrained. Defunded.

And you’re out here tweeting about how Democrats are the “Defund the Police” party while you just voted to defund border enforcement at 3 in the morning.
The question you should answer:

Why did this deal have to happen at 3 AM?

Why couldn’t it happen at 3 PM, with cameras rolling and every senator on record?

You know why. Because you didn’t want your voters to see what surrender looks like.

Here’s my message: We saw it anyway.

Stop hiding behind “Democrat obstruction.” You’re the Majority Leader. You set the schedule. You control the floor. You chose this outcome.

Own it.

mollypitcher5

 📢   📢  Louder for the folks in back!!!!!!!

RDS

Thank you.
Thune caved into the Democrats.
RFK Jr. caved into Big Pharma, the AAP, and a rogue Federal judge.

Thune is putting the borders of the United States at risk, along with all American citizens (not funding CBP and ICE.)
RFK, Jr. is putting millions of persons’ lives at risk (children — via the forced use of the old CDC Childhood Immunization Schedule with its 72 “vaccine” shots, including COVID-19 “vaccine” shots.)

We don’t do unconditional surrender.

The Senate’s proposal operates on the mere hope that funding from H.R. 1 can be used for every aspect of pay and resources for our nation’s border protection.

We don’t operate on hope. We operate on process, deliberation, and action.

https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/svg/1f6a8.svg HOLY CRAP! Rep. Chip Roy just said the House GOP is BLOCKING the Senate’s DHS Democrat compromise, replacing it with something better

The bill has no ICE funding, and people are livid

That means senators better come back in town, NO VACATION.

“What the Senate just sent over to the House is so laughably bad, we’re rejecting it out of hand!”

“They sent over a bill that’s not going to fund ICE and Border Patrol and stand with the great men and women who are defending our country!”

“We reject that. We’re going to stand alongside our law enforcement personnel. We’re going to have a full-throated debate.”

“We’re deciding what we’re going to do. But suffice it to say, we need to stand with those who are standing up for us to defend our country. We need to fully fund them.”

“We need to consider voter ID and other things to make our country safer and better. But we’re not going to move this Senate bill. We’re going to move something better and send it back to the Senate. We have to!”

Rubio calls out zelensky without actually calling him a liar.

I originally kept the RDS account as a communications back-up, when you went through various difficulties creating the PAVACA account for authorship. In any case, PAVACA is an author – RDS (or by any other name) is not.

Wolf Moon

Awesome!

Just one warning – you may get logged out every two weeks – like I do. When that happens, you have to log into at least one page using “Remember Me”, and then either log into all the other tabs to this site that you have open, or refresh them, if your browser retains your login properly.

Every two weeks. Sometimes more often for some people. Sometimes less often, for those who are lucky.

Wolf Moon

Yes! But you must also either remember your proper user name and password, or have your browser remember them, too. When the browser offers to remember the user name and password, and they are correct, be sure to let it remember them.

The SITE is what offers “Remember Me” with the checkbox on the page, but it’s not the same as your BROWSER remembering the credentials in its password cache. In practice, you want BOTH. The site remembers it with cookies. The browser remembers it with its password database.

Valerie Curren

Mine is every couple days now. Before, when you made the change I had never logged out & was still logged in for many months without issue. The new system is Way touchier for me…sigh…

Wolf Moon

Yeah, that “never login for months” condition is not good. JetPack/Akismet’s idea of $3KuR1tY was keeping Duchess off the board by calling her “spam”, but allowing massive hackables like “permanently logged in” to fester!.

Conversation between Thune and Schumer went something like this:

Schumer: Hey, John, we’ve got to do something!! We are about to head out for our 2 week vacation…and Delta has taken away our private escort privilege while TSA isn’t getting paid. Can you even imagine – US…Senators – having to stand in all of those TSA lines??? OMG!

Thune: Chuckie, I could not sleep last night thinking about that. But, we can do something tonight where we can announce tomorrow that we voted to get TSA paid! Get that announced in the morning, and we’ll get our escort back. But we need Dem votes.

Schumer: Guaranteed. Get it done. No way any of us are going through those lines!!!

Tatonka Woman

Then Schumer does a double take…but, this isn’t really going to get passed by the House, right?

kalbokalbs

Chip Roy echoesJohnson.

The Senate bill is a non-starter. We’ll send something back to stand with @CBP
& @ICEgov – perhaps other important provisions. But we’re not accepting the garbage from the Senate.

kalbokalbs

By al appearances, Thune Is A Traitor.

Did I miss something significant?

Let’s summarize where we are after a 40+ day Democrat shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security.

1) ICE and CBP are funded, thanks to the Working Families Tax Cuts and the foresight of President Trump and Republicans in Congress.

2) After holding DHS and the American people hostage for over 40 days, Dems got ZERO restrictions that would prevent ICE and CBP agents from doing their jobs safely.

3) Due to Dem obstruction of the appropriations process, ICE and CBP will get even more funding through budget reconciliation.

4) Dems have once again established themselves as the “Open Borders, Defund the Police” party heading into an election.

5) Dem leadership has proven once again they can’t be trusted to make a deal.

Which begs the question if you’re a Dem senator or one of their left-wing supporters: What was this really all about?

COMMUNITY Notes, or whatever folks can post after a X.

Context needed: Senate passed this DHS bill by voice vote ~3AM in a near-empty chamber to fund TSA, FEMA & Coast Guard. This EXCLUDED ICE and most CBP enforcement. No new border security funds or major reforms. Relies on prior-year appropriations. It moves to the House.

Gotta lie to the voters – “I voted to fund them.”

Amen.

Grant us, Lord, the lamp of charity which never fails, that it may burn in us and shed its light on those around us, and that by its brightness we may have a vision of that holy City, where dwells the true and never-failing Light, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

O Lord God Almighty, as you have taught us to call the evening, the morning, and the noonday one day; and have made the sun to know its going down: Dispel the darkness of our hearts, that by your brightness we may know you to be the true God and eternal light, living and reigning for ever and ever. Amen.

Seek him who made the Pleiades and Orion, and turns deep darkness into the morning, and darkens the day into night; who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out upon the surface of the earth: The Lord is his name. Amen.

Trump signature will be included on the new currency that they are creating. Is this the beginning of the new US currency? The [DS] wants Trump to go at them with a land invasion in Iran. Don Tzu is going to do the opposite of the [DS]/Experts. They want a long drawn out war that will not end to destroy the economy and Trump presidency, big fail. Trump will use the art of war to get control of the Strait and make Iran think they made a good deal.

People who think Japanese cops should do this much too

At a UK airport, a male cop beats the hell out of a Muslim who broke a female cop’s nose and subdues him

One. Two. DOWN For The Count.

In Manchester, a Muslim man violently approaches the bouncers of a nightclub and threatens them with a belt because he wants to get in for free.

They immediately taught him a lesson!!!

A Muslim immigrant snatches a bag from a British old lady but is stopped by locals.

He flies into a rage in response, but gets hit with a police Taser and passes out.

Nice one

Heart Surgeon Warning: Stop Sleeping This Way — It Could Trigger a Stroke Overnight

Gail Combs

My Chiropractor over 4 decades ago gave me the same advice.

Wolf Moon

It’s very helpful!

Do you use left side-sleeping? How about elevation?

See if you can like my comment on the test post I just created at the top of the blog!

Pillow between knees the thickness MATTERS since you are trying to keep the spine straight.

I use a MY pillow under my head and lately have added a 2nd thin pillow.

I also use one on each side mainly to elevate the arm so it is not pulling on the spine.

Generally I sleep on the left but will often switch back and forth since I only sleep in 3 hours blocks.

Sounds familiar!!! 😂

DEMOCRAT Rep Hit With 25 Violations… EXPULSION Next?

Guess the cop was standing on a running board. Damn lucky to be alive. No major injuries.

JUST IN: Milwaukee officer clings to truck of wanted felon during insane fatal OIS

On Milwaukee’s south side, officers and a corrections agent tried to take 35-year-old wanted suspect Jonathan Otto into custody near 12th and Burnham.

Otto refused commands to exit his flatbed truck. When an officer attempted to remove him, Otto sped away with the 46-year-old officer still holding onto the driver’s door.

Bodycam video shows the officer clinging to the moving vehicle for several blocks while repeatedly ordering Otto to stop and eventually threatening to shoot.

Near 15th and Grant, the officer fired, fatally striking Otto.

The officer was treated for non-life-threatening injuries and placed on administrative duty.

Otto was wanted for new allegations of strangulation and assault charges.

Good GRIEF.
