ER-100: SV40 Injected into the Eyes to “Reverse Aging”: Part One of Two

There is a certain tenured PhD professor in genetics at Harvard University. His name is David A. Sinclair. He is a native of Australia. Dr. Sinclair, and his lab at Harvard, specialize in the study of what ages human beings. He also studies methods and ways to slow down, or even to stop, this aging process. He is the holder of numerous Patents in this regard. Please see: https://sinclair.hms.harvard.edu/people/david-sinclair. Dr. Sinclair is also the co-founder of a company called Life Biosciences. The company’s statement: “At Life Biosciences, we are on a mission to reverse age-related disease” (https://www.lifebiosciences.com/about-us/about-life-sciences/.) Today’s offering is not to be viewed in any way as a “hit piece” on Dr. Sinclair, or to denigrate his work: instead, it is to present another take on a certain project that he is working on.

Dr. Sinclair believes that he can reverse aging of the human eye (and also, by extension, the mechanisms of human eyesight.) He has been doing research on this subject since before the year 2020. This current year, 2026, Dr. Sinclair, via Life Biosciences, secured $80 Million dollars in funding to put his theories and research into action (https://allsci.com/news/funding/life-biosciences-secures-usd-80-million-series-d-to-advance-er-100-gene-therapy/, 9 April 2026.) The drug that would be used to reverse the aging of the human eye is called ER-100. It is injected into the eyes. ER-100 is immediately hailed as a “breakthrough” drug: including by the alternative COVID-19 treatment entity, Independent Medical Alliance (https://sashalatypova.substack.com/p/dr-ryan-cole-and-independent-medical, “Dr. Ryan Cole and Independent Medical Alliance are now promoting an “immortality elixir” containing and known carcinogen, synthetic SV40!”, 26 June 2026.) Also, in January 2026, Life Biosciences secured an FDA clearance for the drug’s IND application for ER-100 (https://www.lifebiosciences.com/life-biosciences-announces-fda-clearance-of-ind-application-for-er-100-in-optic-neuropathies/, 28 January 2026. IND = Investigational New Drug.) Perhaps predictably, this announcement was heralded as a kind of “turning point” for the FDA: https://lifespan.io/life-bios-trial-is-the-fda-warming-to-rejuvenation/, “Life Bio’s Trial: Is the FDA Warming to Rejuvenation?”, Steve Hill, 8 April 2026.

However — the Life Biosciences press release, cited above, mentions only three of the four “Yamanaka factors” that ER-100 would be be utilizing. This is not a small point. And this is where the story gets interesting.

Dr. Shinya Yamanaka (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinya_Yamanaka) discovered proteins, called Transcription Factors, which regulate / control “…the rate of transcription of genetic information from DNA to messenger RNA [mRNA], by binding to DNA sequences” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcription_factor.) Dr. Yamanaka reduced the original number of Transcription Factors from twenty-four down to four: OCT-4; SOX-2; KLF-4; and, c-Myc. It is the c-Myc transcription factor that can “go rogue”, so to speak, and foster the growth of cancer cells: https://www.nature.com/articles/nrc904, “c-MYC: more than just a matter of life and death”, Stella Pelengaris, et al. A screenshot of the Abstract of this article is below:

What is SV40 — the element that has been proven to be in both the Pfizer-BioNTech and in the Moderna modRNA COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines”? Please see:https://doi.org/10.1093/jnci/91.2.119, “Cell and Molecular Biology of Simian Virus 40: Implications for Human Infections and Disease”, Janet S. Butel, John A. Lednicky; 20 January 1999. Following is a quotation from the Abstract of this paper: “Simian virus 40 (SV40), a polymavirus of rhesus macaque origin, was discovered in 1960 as a contaminent of polio vaccines that were distributed to millions of people from 1955 to early 1963. SV40 is a potent DNA tumor virus that induces tumors in rodents and transforms many types of cells in culture, including those of human origin.” (Bolding mine.)

Why is Yours Truly including a mention of SV40 here? Because SV40 is contained in ER-100. It is the “swapped-out” protein for the fourth Yamanaka Factor, c-Myc, discussed above. The following screenshot, below, is from the Latypova article on ER-100: a screenshot from the 2020 published paper by Dr. David Sinclair, et al. (which will be further discussed in Part Two.) It is also, in Yours Truly’s opinion, the reason why the Life Biosciences press release, cited above, mentions only three of the Yamanaka Factors — it is possible that the company does not want the public to know that SV40, a cancer-causing element, is contained in the drug: especially in light of the fact that more people are starting to realize that SV40 is in the modRNA COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” that they have in their bodies:

In other words: the poly(A) “signal” used in the modified AAV-TRE-OSK element in ER-100 is the SV40 poly(A) “signal.” AAV is “adeno-associated virus vector” element; TRE is the tetracycline-derived element; OSK is the acronym for the three Yamanaka Factors OCT-4, SOX-2, and KLF-4 elements. Thus far, then, ER-100 is comprised of AAV (with the SV40 poly(A) tail) + TRE + OSK-4 + SOX-2 + KLF-4. But this is not the entire story. Yours Truly now turns to the Patent “template” for ER-100, which was “invented” by Dr. David A. Sinclair, et al., Patent Number WO2020/069373, filed on 27 September 2019.

The Patent information for WO2020/069373 is found here: https://patentscope.wipo.net/search/en/WO2020069373. The Patent was filed using an international listing, as opposed to a US Patent listing. The International Filing Date was 27 September 2019. The Publication Date was 2 April 2020. The applicamts for the Patent were the President and Fellows of Harvard College, 17 Quincy St., Cambridge, MA, 02138. The funding for the research leading to the Patent was provided through NIAID grants R01AG019719, and R01DK100263. The Title of the Patent is: “1.WO2020069373 – CELLULAR REPROGRAMMING TO REVERSE AGING AND PROMOTE ORGAN AND TISSUE REGENERATION.” The following are Yours Truly’s summaries of some of the listings in the Description of the Patent:

Section 0002: Lists the NIAID grants that funded the “invention.”

Section 0018: mention of SV40: an “expression vector”, also as a “constitutive promoter.”

Section 0019: SV40 amounts used in the composition of the “invention.” These amounts range from AT LEAST 70%, up to 100% “in certain embodiments.”

Section 0033: the “invention” will contain a tetracycline (example: doxycyline.)

Section 0034: the “invention” may include TRE (a Tetracycline Reverse Element (a promoter.))

Section 0035: areas of the body where the “invention” can be used. Examples: eye; ear; nose; mouth; bone; breast; lung; pancreas; cardiac muscle; liver; skin; heart; intestine; testis; ovary.

**** Section 0047: the “compositions” of the “invention” may include “any of the recombinant viruses” (e.g. alphavirus; vaccinia virus; herpes virus; AAV; etc.)

Section 0074: types of ocular diseases the “invention” can be used for.

Section 00109: description of the Gain-of-Function techniques used to produce the “invention.” Section 00100 and Section 00111 further describe the Gain-of-Function techniques used.

Section 00133: the “invention” can also use a “tetracycline-controlled transactivator” called MUTANT REVERSE TETRACYCLINE.

Section 00200: the “invention” will use a nanoparticle called NANOPLASMID. (For more information on NANOPLASMID, please see: https://www.aldevron.com/custom-manufacturing/nanoplasmid/faq.)

Section 00263: start of listings of the “engineered nucleic acids”, “engineered cells”, “engineered proteins”, and “chemical agents” that the “invention” will use to induce “expression” of the OCT-4, KFL-4, and/or the SOX-2 factors cells.

Section 00294: start of discussion and listings of the various cationic lipids that the “invention” will use in “certain embodiments.” Examples: Lipofectin (DOTMA + DOPE); DOTMA separately; DOSPA; DDAB, etc.

Now, from the above, thus far, ER-100 is comprised of: AAV (with the SV40 poly(A) tail) + TRE (Tetracycline Reverse Element promoter) + OSK-4 + SOX-2 + KFL-4 + possibly “any of the recombinant viruses (Section 0047) + a MUTANT REVERSE TETRACYCLINE TRANSACTIVATOR FOR EXPRESSION OF GENES (Section 00133) + NANOPLASMID (Section 00200) + a cationic lipid (Section 00294.)

It also appears, in Yours Truly’s opinion, that ER-100 for use to “reverse aging in the eye” may be only the first application of Dr. Sinclair’s “invention.” It appears that the “certain embodiments” of his “invention” can potentially be used to “reverse the aging” of many areas and organs of the human body.

To be continued in Part Two.

Yet another example of how “fifteen will get you twenty!”

pgroup2

Very nice. The Q-tree is quite pleased with you.

  :wpds_wink: 

Rosa

Unfortunately, she’s being tried in Minneapolis. Unless it’s a federal case, she will likely just get her hand slapped.

Gail Combs

If any of the funds came from the federal government, then the Fed can step in and re-try her on separate charges., OR just deport her. If she is a citizen she can be De-naturalized and deported.

ALSO IF she gets a hand slap, from Minneapolis, tax payers all over the country will view it as a slap in their face.

Wolf Moon

WE HAZ OPTIONZ.

pgroup2

Anybody asked God what He thinks about mankind living forever without His help?

After all, He’s the reason 120 years is basically the lifespan limit for humans.

Genesis 6:3 – Then the Lord said, “My Spirit will not contend with humans forever, for they are mortal; their days will be a hundred and twenty years.”

pgroup2

You’re too kind to call it irony. I call it plain evil.

We’re both right.

Aubergine

Exactly. Thank you.

Rosa

Yes. Back when people lived 900 years evil got so bad and so rampant that God Himself destroyed the whole place – except for Noah and company. It is probably because of His mercy that people only get 70-80 years to do evil (less than 120 anyway!)

Valerie Curren

Three score & ten, iirc 🙂

Wolf Moon

IMO this kind of tech is limited in what it can do. It can accomplish local repairs of certain cell types, for finite lengths of time. It’s a way to “patch” the system. There is zero violation of “My Spirit will not contend with humans forever, for they are mortal”. Indeed, I’m thinking 125 is the likely max for the tech.

cthulhu

I see various life extension techs in play. The first ones, that we are playing with today, will indeed have a maximum length of about 125 — being that the world record for natural lifespan is not too far from that.

There will come a time, however, when outright body theft will become an issue….and the question will be whether the corpus has been ensouled. We all know how the Chinese will answer such questions, as they’re doing organ transplants from convicted prisoners now. I would anticipate ~100 years for the original body + ~50 from each hijacked body with those technologies.

Valerie Curren

There’s been at least one sci fi flick/show with that theme…predictive programming much…They are probably already doing something like that for elites only  😡 

Gail Combs

The Chinese were doing crisper babies. One SF book talked of cloning doubles for body parts and such.

cthulhu

At some point, it changes from transferring one good part into an older body to transferring an older brain/spine into a healthy younger body.

Gail Combs

Yup, that is the And Such.

Valerie Curren

I recently read (here?) about some crazy rich guy who is trying to beat an illness he has & he regularly injects blood or plasma from his son, who might be a teen, to increase his own longevity with apparently no concern about the impact on his son. What a psycho  😮 

cthulhu

https://nationalpost.com/health/bryan-johnson-young-blood-plasma-infusion-son

It’s not necessarily such a psycho move. Recall that medicine used to be known as “leechcraft” and “cupping” was a technique — the idea being that getting rid of “old blood” would relieve the ill health from toxins not shed by one’s liver and kidneys.

Modern medicine says that the centuries where doctors did this were primitive and ignorant, and people should rely on FDA-approved treatments.

Gail Combs

It also would depend on whether the Kid wanted to do this for his father. Is it really any different than donating a kidney to a relative?

Valerie Curren

If the kid is of age & giving his life’s blood of his own free will then it’s his choice. Can you Really say no to your extremely wealthy dad.

cthulhu

It might actually improve the kid’s health, as well.

Valerie Curren

Interesting…

Valerie Curren

There was a movie, I think called “The Island”, it had the guy that played Obi Wan in the modern Star Wars movies, Ewan MacGregor iirc, & also Ving Rhames I believe, in it. This Island was populated by clones of rich & famous people who used them at will for spare parts. Of course the clones had no idea what was really happening.

pgroup2
Valerie Curren

Thx 😉

Wolf Moon

Excellent movie!

Valerie Curren

Yes. My kids & I watched it together when they all still lived at home. I Really like lots of Sci-Fi stuff, in fact just finished reading Asimov’s I Robot for the first time 🙂

Valerie Curren

Did you ever get around to watching Mel Gibson’s Conspiracy Theory movie–MK is a major part of the plot.

Wolf Moon

I will have to re-watch it!

Valerie Curren

It’s a favorite around here, we watched it Again a oouple months ago. Patrick Stewart (Jean Luc Picard in STTNG) plays a dark character in a rather creepy way 🙂

cthulhu

Well, your son is using a liver he was not born with….and thank God for that.

Valerie Curren

True, but that’s not Exactly the same thing, though quite ghoulish by certain standards. He would be Way less functional currently with his original liver & perhaps no longer even in the land of the living…

cthulhu

And we, perhaps for selfish reasons, would prefer that he remain amongst us with whatever liver he needed.

After all, his donor was no longer using it.

Valerie Curren

Yes. I just hope that family wasn’t manipulated with the “brain dead” labeling to sacrifice someone who might have been saved. I’ll never know, most likely. It broke my heart to know Josiah needed a whole liver or I would have willingly donated a lobe if that could have worked for him. It was deeply anguishing to know someone else’s “child” would die so that mine might live  😪 

cthulhu

Let’s hope that is not the case, but as a practical matter you can never know. Instead, enjoy your son’s renewed health.

Valerie Curren

Absolutely. I bathed that future donor & family in Lots of prayer in the year & a half Josiah was on the transplant waiting list. If God answered those prayers then that family would have no unfinished business with their loved one, beautiful memories, & all would have relationships with the Lord that would sustain them in the loss & guarantee heavenly reunion some day. Only God knows

cthulhu

I would expect no less from your beautiful and Godly family.

While we cannot know the specifics, we can pray God’s Will be done in every respect you listed.

Valerie Curren

Amen. Thanks Cthulhu. It’s a secret heartache that’s buried within me so I appreciate what you’ve shared here 🙂

pgroup2

But will they have the skills to do faces?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Face/Off

Valerie Curren

Those “deep fake” videos that were shown during covid, iirc, were pretty compelling. With AI running rampant now it’s potentially even harder to tell the differences, imo.

Barb Meier

So after they depopulate the planet, then they need to extend the lives of those remaining??

Gail Combs

But only the lives of the RIGHT people.

TheseTruths

After much speculation, Sen. Mitch McConnell is said to be alive and undergoing rehabilitation in a hospital for an undisclosed ailment, according to a source familiar with the senator’s health. McConnell, the longest-serving senator in Kentucky history at 84 years old, has had a few health concerns in recent years.

More: tinyurl.com/4kr284ex

TheseTruths

From the link:

McConnell needs time to physically recover, source says

The source with knowledge of McConnell’s health situation told NewsNation, “With his condition, he needs time to physically recover. But mentally he’s fine. The doctors want to make sure he’s okay.” 

The source added it’s possible, but unlikely, McConnell could return to the Capitol next week. 

kalbokalbs

“But mentally he is fine.” <<< All evidence to the contrary.

Whatever it takes to screw over Trump, America, Kentucky.

I spose once the clock runs out, no appointments allowed, Chao will resign for Mitch the Bitch.

There is no defense for Mitch the Bitch, Chao or his power hungry staff.

I’m waiting for PDJT to chime in on this. Could be interesting if he has any inside information. Are there any upcoming votes in the senate?

I’m sick of this. This quote is so typical.

Sen. Mitch McConnell is said to be alive and undergoing rehabilitation in a hospital for an undisclosed ailment, according to a source.

LOL, not that he IS alive and undergoing rehab..but SAID to be alive

pgroup2

He could be dead and undergoing rehab.

Not that it would do any good.

Sir ES

The tricky grammatical construction of the passive voice, wherein the subject is omitted.

Lack of attribution.

What are the odds that *whatever* his condition, he shall be deemed alive and competant when Aug 3 clocks in?

It’s a FARCE!

IMO, of course…

“After much speculation, Sen. Mitch McConnell is said to be alive…”

“Is said” by whom?

Really, I find it utterly ridiculous that a United States Senator, 84 years old, for heaven’s sake, can just be completely absent from his job for weeks without resigning.

I don’t care if he’s 40 years old, honestly. If he has a stroke or heart attack (completely possible at that age), and is incapacitated for a month, he should have to resign.

We have become a culture that supports victimhood. This is just a different kind of example.

“Poor Mitch McConnell. The hell with all his constituents, we have to keep a feeble, sick, incapacitated old man in office.”

Puke.

remember during the covidiot crap–people did the video conferencing thing?
set that up for mitch–his family/doctors can pick a time the senator would be available for video conferencing.

An excellent piece on Candace by DataRepublican:

Hello Mrs. Owens,

You told millions of people that Tyler Robinson “wasn’t even there.” That you felt “confident stating that Tyler Robinson did not kill murder Charlie Kirk.”

He was on camera. Prone on the Losi rooftop at 12:22. Shot at 12:23:28. DNA on the screwdriver at 30 quintillion to one. DNA on the rifle at 1.7 octillion to one. He told his family what he did. His parents helped him surrender. He texted his roommate: “I am, I’m sorry.” He engraved “Hey Fascist! Catch!” on the ammunition a month before he used it.

You said police “didn’t even question” Lance Twiggs. He was interviewed twice. FBI the morning after. Joint state-federal team seven months later. His own attorney. Voluntary phone surrender. You laughed when you said it.

You told Shawn Ryan a shaped charge killed Charlie. That PETN was in his microphone. The medical examiner says gunshot wound. Bullet fragments were recovered from his body. A .30-06 Mauser with Robinson’s DNA was found in the woods. Neither side — not prosecution, not defense — has mentioned explosives. Not once in four days.

You said the shot came from below. The Losi building is above the amphitheater.

You called Erika Kirk a “clinical psychopath” to an audience of millions. You said the assassination was “an occult ritual.” You said Charlie was “sitting in a pentagram.” You told people Israel killed him because he refused Netanyahu.

You made over a hundred episodes. You built a franchise on a dead man’s name.

And the hardest fact of all: Tyler Robinson’s own defense lawyers — the people whose entire career is on the line to get him acquitted — have refused to make a single one of your arguments. Not one. They’re challenging DNA methodology. They are doing their jobs. You were doing something else entirely.

Charlie Kirk changed my life. He platformed my work when nobody knew who I was. He had my back when I was doxxed. I was the ten-thousandth most important person in his world and I will never be able to repay him.

So I did what I know how to do. I read every transcript. I watched every hour of testimony. I cataloged your claims and I held them up against what was said under oath.

Every single one failed.

I don’t know why you did this. I’m not going to speculate on your motives, because that would make me exactly the kind of analyst I’ve spent my career refusing to be. But I know what you did. You told people confident lies about a dead man’s murder, and millions of them believed you, and some of them turned that belief into threats against his widow.

The trial continues. And every day of sworn testimony is another day your words get tested against reality… under oath, on the record, where it counts.

I’ll be here for all of it… because just as Charlie defended me, I will do what little I can to defend his legacy and @TPUSA and @MrsErikaKirk from evil.

Gail Combs

Worth saving off line.

JUST IN: Trump Fires Three Remaining Members of the Election Assistance Commission Ahead of Midterms

President Trump on Thursday fired the three remaining members of the Election Assistance Commission ahead of the 2026 midterms.

Two Democrat commissioners Thomas Hicks and Benjamin Hovland were fired over email.

The lone Republican commissioner, Christy McCormick, resigned.

The firings left the independent commission with no commissioners. [ 😅 ]

The firings come after the Supreme Court ruled that a US president has the authority to fire heads of independent agencies in the executive branch. [ 😁 ]

Top Official in Marxist NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s Administration Secretly Scheduled Meeting with Iran’s UN Ambassador – Trump State Department Forced to Shut It Down

A senior official in Communist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration tried to hold an official meeting with the Iranian regime’s ambassador to the United Nations.

Commissioner Ana María Archila, head of the Mayor’s Office for International Affairs, had scheduled the meeting for July 7 at 11 a.m. at 2 United Nations Plaza with Amir-Saeid Iravani, Iran’s permanent representative to the UN.

Two other senior officials from the office were also set to attend, according to calendar invitation screenshots reviewed by City Journal and confirmed by multiple sources, including a State Department official.

The meeting was called off only after the U.S. State Department, which had not been informed in advance, stepped in and met with the Mamdani administration to “clarify acceptable conduct,” according to City Journal.

Archila reportedly did not even tell Mayor Mamdani she had arranged the sit-down. She was later reprimanded and ordered to cancel it.

A spokesperson for the Mayor’s Office for International Affairs issued the predictable damage-control statement: “This meeting did not and will not take place.”

Gotta keep an eye on the Communists.

scott467

Could have surveilled the meeting and then charged her (all of them) with giving aid and comfort to the enemy, colluding with the enemy, conspiracy to commit whatever it is they were up to with the islamo-fascist, treason, there must be a whole laundry list of laws they would have broken.

Hopefully this instance is the prelude to letting the next meeting happen, then get raided in real time, with perp walks for the participants.

List them as the terrorist organization they have proved themselves to be.

Mass killings under communist states – Wikipedia

Any attempt to estimate a total number of killings under communist regimes depends greatly on definitions,[50] resulting in a vast range of estimates ranging from a low of 10–20 million to as high as 148 million.[51][52] Political scientist Rudolph Rummel and historian Mark Bradley have written that, while the exact numbers have been in dispute, the order of magnitude is not.

It would be bad enough if it was just one Sociopath but it wasn’t. Socialism in its different flavors lead to 20th century DEMOCIDE: DEATH BY GOVERNMENT

Dr. R.J. Rummel tabulated the 169,202,000 Murdered by their own government, many under some flavor of “Socialism”

…Just to give perspective on this incredible murder by government, if all these bodies were laid head to toe, with the average height being 5′, then they would circle the earth ten times. Also, this democide murdered 6 times more people than died in combat in all the foreign and internal wars of the century….

After eight-years and almost daily reading and recording of men, women, and children by the tens of millions being tortured or beaten to death, hung, shot, and buried alive, burned or starved to death, stabbed or chopped into pieces, and murdered in all the other ways creative and imaginative human beings can devise, I have never been so happy to conclude a project. I have not found it easy to read time and time again about the horrors innocent people have been forced to suffer. What has kept me at this was the belief, as preliminary research seemed to suggest, that there was a positive solution to all this killing and a clear course of political action and policy to end it. And the results verify this. The problem is Power. The solution is democracy. The course of action is to foster freedom.

TheseTruths

Here’s an example of what I consider to be a false social media post. I’ve seen it twice already, and a third time when someone reposted it.

Anonymous SCOTUS clerk:

“Something changed in [Amy Coney Barrett] after she saw that Mexico was putting up billboards advertising birthright citizenship deliveries…”

“She’s going to flip.”

Follow: @Squigg

• “Squigg” joined X in January 2026 and has 2,451 followers.
• No source is provided for the information in the tweet.
• It shows photos to lend it credibility instead of sources or news links.
• It presents what people wish were true.
• There is no reason to believe this person has the kinds of connections required to gain this kind of information.

scott467

On top of all those reasons, Squigg attributes something positive to Coney Island-Barrett, which is the biggest red flag of all.

it’s not meant to be a “shot” honestly.

It just doesn’t make sense to me that someone who’s capable of 20 minute conversations with more than one person (perhaps this was a conference call and it was ONE 20 minute conversation, but no one said that) couldn’t make a 30 second or one MINUTE video segment with a news source SHOWING he’s fine. He doesn’t even have to answer questions, just read that’s he fine, appreciates the well wishes and will return as soon as the doctors say he can.
BOOM! you’re done.

Repubs were all complaining about the maggot and questioning his ability to remain in office but we shouldn’t question the turtle’s???

That’s just it.

It seems indefensible to me to take the position that McConnell is fine when we spent four years railing against Biden for the same kind of situation.

Gail Combs

EXACTLY!!!

When the health of a politician is critical to the well being of the country, we certainly have the right to question the state of their health.

Heck, how often have the DemonRats questions Trump’s health and mental capability.

NOTICE CRICKETS when it comes to Mitch.

TheseTruths

but we shouldn’t question the turtle’s???

I haven’t seen anyone say that things shouldn’t be questioned. My point has been that IMO the public in general will not be satisfied with anything that is said. Reports about McConnell’s condition most likely will not be believed, no matter what, and people are naturally dissatisfied with the amount of information we are being provided.

I’m not saying that any one particular thing should have been deemed satisfactory to this point, but that I can think of reasons why things have been done the way they have or why a video has not been made—without necessarily agreeing with it. I’m advocating for not jumping to conclusions and for not having preconceived ideas.

I won’t post such thoughts because people reflexively think I’m defending how things are playing out. The fact that I can think of reasons doesn’t mean that I’m excusing their not providing more information.

IMO a well-rounded discussion would present alternative possibilities, and people could learn from each other; but when it’s not possible to present those without being labeled or judged as having a certain viewpoint, then the process is halted.

From my life experience, I can think of reasons why no video has been produced, for example. I could present a scenario of how things might play out. But I won’t because a number of people don’t seem able to get past their anger, to recognize that there is a great deal that they don’t know, and to just use their heads.

That was not my intention. “Shots” that were taken are based on inaccurate assumptions, and that’s on them.

pgroup2

There’s also nothing to indicate that it’s not accurate.

IOW, it pretty much gives you what you already want to get.

side note – if it is from a SCOTUS clerk, there wouldn’t be any attribution unless the clerk didn’t value his/her job any longer.

TheseTruths

Thanks for the voice of reason.

My point the other day was that in general, “people” won’t accept whatever information they are provided because it doesn’t fit their narrative. (Also, it is common for the goalposts to be moved so that nothing would ever satisfy.) The issues I have are that “people” have a preconceived notion of what credible information should look like, with no use of imagination for other possibilities or for why the things they demand aren’t being done, coupled with ignorance of how a lot things work, as you just pointed out in the case of a SCOTUS clerk.

Given what we know from the past, there is no reason to believe Turtle reports.

Multiple 20 minute reports by senators and Jennings having discussions with Turtle covering current affairs

Needs physical therapy. Obviously.

Mentally fit. <<<Bullshit. ZERO evidence. Last we saw. Turtle slurred words. Had no idea what was going on in the hearing he chaired.

Live video of give and take discussion would answer the mail. Thune, Barasso or Jennings could do it. Hell even chao.

Migrant sought for killing NY mom in Ireland met her at anti-Israel protest — and is feared to have fled country
By Anthony Blair

The suspect in the murder of a New York mom who recently moved to Ireland is a Middle Eastern asylum-seeker who met her at an anti-Israel protest — and who may have already fled the country, according to reports.

The bloody body of Jamey Carney, 43, was found Tuesday afternoon by her 13-year-old daughter at her rented home in Killarney, where she had moved five years ago from Westchester County, the Irish Sun reported.

She was beaten to death and suffered multiple head injuries, with cops probing reports that a loud argument was heard the night before at her home on a luxury housing estate.

New York mom Jamey Carney may have met her alleged killer at a pro-Palestine protest in Ireland.

The “person of significant interest” is a 28-year-old migrant from the Middle East who applied for asylum after arriving in Ireland in 2024, police told the Irish Independent, without naming him.

Carney, who worked for a healthcare consulting company, reportedly knew the man for a year and a half after meeting at a pro-Palestine protest, sources at the Gardai, the Irish police, told the Irish Sun.

The slain mom previously posted a video of herself in a keffiyeh at an anti-Israel rally.

The link isn’t working for this one, so I searched Brave and it gave me the summary below the title (title is from the New York Post website):

Tourist’s Italy dream vacation takes nightmare turn after she’s kidnapped twice in one day

Brave: Stephanie, a 36-year-old Melbourne executive, narrowly escaped two alleged kidnapping attempts in Sicily, Italy, in October 2025. 

 The first incident involved her jumping from a moving car driven by a foreign expatriate who took her to a secluded gated compound 12 kilometers from their starting point at the Lo Stagnone lagoon. 

After fleeing into the countryside, she sought help from a local security guard in a quiet town. 

 The guard, who appeared to offer assistance, instead drove her to an isolated alleyway and made inappropriate demands, prompting Stephanie to flee again into a nearby vineyard. 

 She eventually walked back to her hotel, making small transactions at vending machines to leave a digital trail, and has since postponed her plans to renovate property in Italy.”

______________

I guess Stephanie had enough multiculturalism for one day.

I could be very crude in order to succinctly state what likely happened. I’ll demur but most males can guess what I’d say.

I don’t know what it is that makes white leftist females get hot for Middle East males.

They just think they are still as respected as if they’re in an American fern bar.

You got me thinking about that! Yes, why is it that these gals hook up with men who come from an uber patriarchal society with specific rules for women and violent consequences if rules aren’t followed.
Do they secretly want to be dominated? Do they think their love can tame the zealot? Do they want the attention of being the white girlfriend ?

pgroup2

Have no idea, and I’m glad I don’t.

Someone commented to me during one of the serial murder sprees Southern California experienced in the 60s-70s, that she couldn’t understand why the killer thought the way he did.

I told her, that’s good because if you could I would be gone in a flash.

scott467

“Yes, why is it that these gals hook up with men who come from an uber patriarchal society with specific rules for women and violent consequences if rules aren’t followed.”

______________

Because they are indoctrinated and socially required to despise ‘toxic masculinity’, but they are inherently (biologically) attracted to toxic masculinity.

So they denounce toxic masculinity with their mouths, while they have sex with toxic foreign men. This kind of complete cognitive dissonance is second nature to many women. It never even occurs to them.

So they are free to continue hating and rejecting white men, and free to keep getting their sexual kicks with unfeminized foreign men.

“I don’t know what it is that makes white leftist females get hot for Middle East males.”

______________

At least two things are likely.

1) most Western males after Gen X have been emasculated and feminized to the point of being unattractive to heterosexual women

2) middle eastern males are virtuous members of a protected-class, and protected-class members are inherently good, just as non-protected class members (white men) are inherently bad

So with a swarthy middle eastern male, they get a regular (non-feminized, i.e. masculine) man, the kind of man they are indoctrinated to despise, but to whom they are attracted anyway, because they can’t fight their own biology.

Western wymyn feminized white men, then naturally found the feminized white men unattractive, and were attracted to (and moved on to) foreigners who aren’t feminized.

Protected-class status is icing on the cake.

Valerie Curren

“Simian virus 40 (SV40), a polymavirus of rhesus macaque origin, was discovered in 1960 as a contaminent of polio vaccines that were distributed to millions of people from 1955 to early 1963.”

Was it Really a Contaminent, or was it Deliberate? I thought I read somewhere about Jonas Sauk “bragging” about aluminum adjuvants in the polio “vaccine”. First do Mo Harm seems to have been the order of the day for a very long time in “the science” 🙁

Right. I can’t even remember where I read/heard such a thing; it’s just as the curtain keeps being pulled back Now it makes us need (potentially) to re-evaluate Then.

I seriously doubt that Salk did any bragging or that he added anything to his vaccine.

Valerie Curren

Could be. I wish I recalled where I read/saw that for context. This doesn’t directly address aluminum but calls into question Salk’s character, fwiw.

https://www.naturalnews.com/031564_Jonas_Salk_medical_experiments.html

Dr. Jonas Salk, inventor of polio vaccine, exposed as criminal-minded scientist who conducted illicit medical experiments on mental patients
Dr. Jonas Salk was part of that criminal conspiracy, of course. Not only is he now implicated in these criminal medical experiments, but as you will see here on NaturalNews in upcoming articles, the credit given to Dr. Salk for ending polio is based on a fraudulent misrepresentation of the historical data — something that was intentionally done by the vaccine industry in order to convince people that vaccines ended polio!

The truth is far different. The “success” of the polio vaccine has been a 60-year lie. A the “heroic” stature of Dr. Jonas Salk has been a 70-year lie. This man was a Big Pharma criminal. And the truth about him — and his deadly vaccines — is finally coming out.”

VC again here–This gives a bit of a different take but is reminiscent of how moving the goalposts on disease is still happening, now to the benefit of big pHARMa 🙁

It is true that before the Salk vaccine was introduced in 1955, more than 50,000 people in the US contracted polio in one year. In 1952, a total of 52,879 people got polio. But by 1955, the numbers had already declined by 45 percent. In 1953, 35,592 contracted polio in the US. In 1954, it was 38,476. In 1955, it was 28,985.2

So it is a fact of history that the numbers dropped precipitously before the Salk vaccine was widely distributed. Now, let’s start with 1954 when medical researcher and virologist Salk actually came up with his inactivated injectable polio vaccine. That same year, the government redefined polio. According to Dr. Bernard Greenberg, head of the Department of Biostatistics of the University of North Carolina School of Public Health:

In order to qualify for classification as paralytic poliomyelitis, the patient had to exhibit paralytic symptoms for at least 60 days after the onset of the disease. Prior to 1954, the patient had to exhibit paralytic symptoms for only 24 hours. Laboratory confirmation and the presence of residual paralysis were not required. After 1954, residual paralysis was determined 10 to 20 days and again 50 to 70 days after the onset of the disease. This change in definition meant that in 1955 we started reporting a new disease, namely, paralytic poliomyelitis with a longer lasting paralysis.3

Under the new definition of polio, thousands of cases which would have previously been counted as polio would no longer be counted as polio. The change in the definition laid the groundwork for creating the impression that the Salk vaccine was effective.”

I’d like to look deeper but need to get back to dealing w/ email issues…sigh…

My first red flag is the mischaracterization of the Salk vaccine as “inactivated injectable polio vaccine”. That was the Sabin vaccine that was administered on a sugar cube.

The Salk vaccine was injectable dead polio viruses.

There is no coming back from that size of a fact blunder.

At the time of the polio scare, I was 5-9 years old. I read every single thing about Salk and his work that I could get my hands on. Princeton University was very close and so was Philadelphia [lots of scientific museums and orgs there]. My mom knew a lot of people at each of them.

“injectable dead polio viruses” sounds just like another way of saying “inactivated injectable polio vaccine” at least to me. Hmmm

Wolf Moon

Same here.

As for that redefinition of polio – WOW – that is a massive scientific problem. Those numbers shouldn’t even be on the same graph. The only way to do that legitimately would be to try to get numbers on old data that would allow a transformation of the old data to smaller numbers matching the new standards.

Gail Combs

It is amazing the creative types of fraud you can find in ‘scientific data’

See CV’s reply, nearby, on aluminum adjuvants & links I shared with her 🙂

Valerie Curren

That sounds, in general, a lot like what was being done with the covid “vaxs” in that there were numerous formulations with numerous items in numerous configurations so one might never know just what one allowed into their body & also few, if any, actual human trials & almost no long term studies of the effects. What could possibly go wrong  😡 

Gail Combs

“numerous formulations with numerous items in numerous configurations”

I am fairly sure they kept track of what lots went where and what happened. Back in the 1950s & 60s, most people worked for the same company for life so you could look at the cancer rates, autism rates, heart condition rates for various areas.

Valerie Curren

Even for the covid “vaxs” somebody eventually figured out the “hot lots” info but I don’t think that info was straightforward in any way, it was an after the fact scenario. People had no aspect of “informed consent” with what happened with the covid “vaxs”. It sounds a bit similar to me with what CV has shared so far with the SV40, etc., aspects of this alleged aging “cure” 🙁

Hello Q-Tree friends,

I want to thank many of you for the encouragements to get an Estate Attorney to assist in dealing with the Trust/Estate issues that have arisen following my dad’s death. Neither my husband nor I were desirous of going this route, for a number of reasons. Ultimately there were some email communications generated/facilitated by my brother the Executor/Trustee that involved questions from his/the Estate/Trust’s attorney (not sure which) & within those discussions I inquired if that attorney was acting as a neutral party for projected real estate transactions. He basically said he was only representing the Trust & that I should get my own attorney. This advice pushed me into that action.

Well I had to pay a particular amount to the attorney, after our free “15 minute” phone call preliminary discussion & these funds would cover an hour of document prep, a 2 hour face-to-face meeting (currently scheduled for July 15) & a summary report of suggested next steps. There would be the opportunity to hire her for addition work, as needed.

They requested a number of specific documents & communications related to the situation & based on what I’ve already given them it appears that our case is more complicated than what might be “typical” so that it is likely I’ll need to pay for additional time so that we can get the needed info processed & “know” the best way to procede. The attorney is already planning to provide one additional hour for the fee already paid but further time will need to be approved by me & paid for at our meeting.

Anyway, if there hadn’t been such forceful encouragement here at the Q-Tree to hire an attorney it is possible that my brothers/the Estate/Trust attorney’s advice might not have been sufficient to go this route…

It’s taking A Lot of time & effort on my part & the process is continuing to cause upheaval in my family to a degree…

If you think of us I would appreciate continued prayers for God’s guidance, wisdom, peace, provision, will, & favor in all these undertakings. On top of that we are all in various stages of layered grieving so battle emotional fatigue on top of mental & physical.

Josiah is still in our home with uncertain (if any) return to his wife’s parents’ home (he usually roughly alternates weeks between households, but more with us than them). We think the issue is that he is trying to be his own SSI Payee & his wife has stopped communicating with him for several days now. On Tuesday we should acquire the necessary paperwork, after a doctor’s visit, to turn in to SSA & hopefully set his case straight, but things remain to be seen as to what develops. There is an emotional, mental, & even to some degree spiritual aspect to what amounts to abuse directed at him from his wife & MIL in particualr. J is dealing w/ a resurgence of the PTSD that strongly impacted him when he first moved back home only four months into his marriage, in December 2022. Thankfully he is not as obviously torn up, not crying all the time, but he still needs lots of conversational time, prayer, & encouragement as he attempts to navigate troubled waters.

My son Brandon is having his Bachelor Party this weekend & it it now happening in the UP at his friend & landlord’s family place not far from the Mackinac Bridge. This change of venue (it had been planned for our family Cottage) was due to how my brother is choosing to manage Estate/Trust property. The whole process was/is exceedingly painful to Brandon, especially since both his brothers’ Bachelor Parties were at the Cottage & now that both of my parents are dead it was even more important to have that family connection for B…but it was not to be. So what would have been, maybe, 3 1/2 hours of drive time is being turned into 5+ hours, each way. Thankfully Michael can catch a ride with our oldest, Nathaniel, as that much driving on top of lengthy work day drives immediately before & following this celebratory weekend will stretch my hubby mightily.

My daughter Clarissa‘s husband is looking for work for the coming school year so that is an added stressor for them as their second child is due in the Fall too. Please pray for that situation, for God’s favor, timing, & locale for our SIL.

Nathaniel & his wife are also expecting another child this Fall so there are many things in flux in our extended family. It looks like they are having another girl, making their daughters very happy but N’s wife was pretty angry about it. She has a rough time being pregnant, though is doing well of late PTL, so they are likely not done at three kids.

Our family vacation will start next weekend & we are all going to the Cottage as had been previously scheduled (we don’t know if the Executor bro will be charging us for this or not). We’re uncertain if this will end up being our last trip there, in the event that I am unable to acquire the Cottage from the Estate/Trust. Being in a state of uncertainty about these property resolutions has added a lot more stress on all of us. Last time (most of us) were there, for Memorial Day, there was so much upheaval related to the Estate & how we were being dealt with (even though Dad was still “alive” then) it was not like any type of relaxing vacation. Three nights in a row I barely slept & was a shell of myself. Father’s Day was subsumed into our frenetic attempt to go through Dad’s house before the Tuesday (literally a week from Dad’s funeral & less that 2 weeks from his death) midnight deadline that was imposed on us. Then our 4th was thwarted by the power outage that disrupted virtually that entire weekend.

I really hope that our trip will be pleasant & refreshing for all of the family, for we really need that hiatus. Today Dad’s been dead exactly a month. In a month from now we will be having to wrestle the complexities of a destination wedding for our son Brandon (& we have to bring our dog to the Air B & B amongst other challenges)…sorry if I’m whining here, it’s just been a lot & there isn’t a light at the end of the tunnel yet, but thankfully we all have The Light to help comfort & guide us through the twists & turns of life.

Thanks for any prayers or encouragements. They mean more than I can say.

God Bless You All!!!   💔

After posting, I realized it should have been something along the lines of. Skip reliving the past, where it is not joyful. Live for today and tomorrow (future).

As PAVACA, Gail, someone posted, let the lawyer fret over the Estate stuff.

The drama.

  • “…N’s wife was pretty angry…” Oh please. N’s wife should celebrate the miracle of creating life. Then onto another kid. Only to be, maybe angry with another girl. Stop playing roulette.
  • Josiah may need to cash in his DW.
  • Bachelor party thing should never be a stressor. In the big picture, it is not important. IMO.
  • Family vacation. Leave the worries and stressors at home. Focus on fun. Celebrate what folks have.

It seems I missed some episodes of your version of “As The World Turns” but I thought that girl was his dream girl and everybody was all good-to-go about the marriage. If it’s on the rocks 4 months in, then he/she told a huge lie [or two] to that face in the mirror.

And the other one bought into it.

Very sad. Remind your son that God NEVER allows any of His kids to be tested beyond his/her ability to endure it.

Aubergine

Thank you for saying that last sentence, p. I needed to read that this morning.

Valerie Curren

Well that is definitely an interesting take. J’s wife is not necessarily his “dream girl” but she was a sweet & mostly Godly young lady & they were “in love” enough that they both wanted to marry & both our families & the pastor that married them & went through pre-marital counseling with them, at our then church, were on board with the marriage overall. She has complex special needs, medically, mentally, & emotionally. Her dad is very autistically impaired though is able to drive (unlike J & his wife) & has a job (ish, may be being paid under the table & a pittance) & has said that he looks at Josiah as his own best friend. Her mom is the more “normal” person in that household though she came to Christ later in her life & still has some fleshly/human tendencies that need to be more “under the Blood”, imo. There is a manipulative side to what is going on & things that have happened in the past. Our son is very sweet & vulnerable. He is very Godly as well & though he is broken hearted about how he is being treated/ignored he is not bitter & is prayerful about moving forward.

Remind your son that God NEVER allows any of His kids to be tested beyond his/her ability to endure it.”

Though this is true it is one of those phrases that people used to say to me when things were really rough & it always made me somewhat sad & angry. I kind of prefer to focus on “God will never leave nor forsake us” & “in this world you will have trouble, but be of good cheer, for I (Jesus speaking there) have overcome the world!” & going along with your encouragement “with man this is impossible but with God all things are possible.” He, the Lord, will surely make a way through All of this at some point of His choosing. So we, sort of, learn to say, along with Job, “though He slay me, yet will I trust Him”…God Bless

Valerie Curren

Appreciate the Soap Opera reference–ugh!

Gail Combs

I am very happy that you got an attorney. I do not think you will regret it based on the treatment of your son Brandon. In my book that is downright petty and intentionally hurtful.

Sorry to hear all the trouble is being heaped on more trouble. PRAYERS. 👃

Valerie Curren

Thanks Gail. We defintely need those prayers! Blessings

Aubergine

You are not whining, you are venting, which is healthy.

I’m glad to hear you have an attorney. I am involved with an attorney currently for a different type of issue (DH’s wrongful termination), so I know how it feels. Just do what they tell you, take it one step at a time, and don’t think about it too much. Having an attorney means you don’t have to worry about the details you don’t understand. They will explain what you need to know and do.

Enjoy your vacation. Live your life. Grieve when it surfaces. Everything will work its way out.

Romans 8:28

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

Valerie Curren

Oh Amen & thank you for that insight on attorneys. “Having an attorney means you don’t have to worry about the details you don’t understand. They will explain what you need to know and do.” I’ve only ever previously dealt with attorneys in Special Education Due Process Hearing Requests so this is a pretty different animal.

It’s weird, but in this “venting” process of writing here it came to mind how much I miss my mom being available (& functional), & even my dad, as some of these issues I might have chosen to air out with them just a bit. There’s still a bit of sting in that.

Thanks for your encouragement & may God Bless YOU & your hubby in your own righteous battles. May you find justice in this life, as well as the next!

Valerie Curren

Great insight on the vacation payment, if necessary. I don’t think I would have ever thought of that! I appreciate all of these thoughts PAVACA including relegating the Estate issues to business. Hubby has already made that mental switch with regards to my Trustee/Executor brother. In Hubby’s mind little bro is Not family, & depending on his mood & recent or historical “blows” he sometimes looks at him as his/our “enemy”…but definitely as a business relationship. It’s harder for me to compartmentalize in that way though. Blessings!

Gail Combs

Just remember your brother (& his spouse) are looking at this as a business matter and the fact the family ‘OWES THEM’ for the care of your Dad in his later life. The last may not be a conscious thought on your brother’s part but it is probably there.

Valerie Curren

It’s certainly possible. There were some very weird aspects to their interactions with me surrounding my dad’s hospitalization, right after Easter, where I stayed w/ my dad 24/7 apart from bathroom breaks down the hall & stepping out of the room to the nurse’s station across the hall for various types of assistance, like more ice water. My SIL stayed with Dad the day before he went back to their house for a couple of hours while I, with SIL’s express OK, went to the Family Resource Center to use their computer but that is the only time I was apart from him for 72+ hours. SIL lied to the doctors about Dad’s mental functioning to get him out of the hospital (prematurely in my view) & took him back to their home where he had very significant issues for the first week+ back with them…sigh…

If they think the family “owes them” I think it is likely subconscious. SIL told N’s MIL at the funeral luncheon on June 15th that she wanted to get most of the estate issues wrapped up before the month ended (which is insane, imo). Her text later that day, just an hour+ after we got home after the “family business meeting” immediately following the funeral luncheon, where I’d indicated my desire to have both the Cottage & the Hilton hunting cabin (if Dad’s multiply verbally expressed wishes to have that property deeded directly to Hubby, our 3 non-disabled children, & M’s 3 decade hunting buddy Apart from my inheritance were not to be followed). Neither of my brothers have any interest in ownership of either of those properties, though the OK bro said if he lived in MI he’d share the Cottage with me “in a heartbeat”…

Anyway a couple hours after that meeting ended on Dad’s funeral day, Tuesday, SIL sent a text to everybody that they were meeting with people on Friday when they were in Gaylord to bury my dad “to prep the Cottage for sale”. Believe me we were completely flabbergasted by this twisted turn of events. We still don’t know that bro at any moment might just switch gears & list the Cottage for sale even though we are diligently trying to get it from the Estate, part of why we hired the Estate Attorney. It’s all Very Weird & quite Unsettling for our family, at least 🙁

I think I mentioned before that N’s MIL, who had 2+ decades in the funeral business, said she had Never Seen such a dysfunctional family approach as to how little bro Trustee/Executor & his wife were handling things & she literally shed tears about that in front of me. The extremely accelerated rate at which they were trying to wrap things up was bizzarro world & so hurtful to my family especially. I had no idea they were having the Estate Sale company walking through the day after the funeral when all siblings & bros’ spouses were to be at Dad’s house, ostensibly as far as I knew to just let our OK bro choose some items in person to take home in his car the following day. That they forced us, the Curren family, to attempt to review items in a 3 level home plus large garage in exactly a week following Dad’s funeral was completely unreasonable–my parents were pretty serious packrats & had lived in that home continuously since 1964!

Gail Combs

YIKES!

I remember you mentioning some of that before which is why I wrote the comment above.

The “…MIL, who had 2+ decades in the funeral business, said she had Never Seen such a dysfunctional family approach as to how little bro Trustee/Executor & his wife were handling things…”

That was a tell for me that you might be being railroaded. Trying to settle things that fast, while everyone is still in shock from the death, no matter how expected, smelled very fishy not to mention exceptionally callous.

To me, when someone is trying to rush decisions, I smell a rat trying to take advantage.

I really hope I am wrong, but the fact you now have a lawyer involved, will show you are not the pushovers that they were hoping you would be.Good luck and I hope it all turns out for the best.

Valerie Curren

Thanks Gail. Your hard-won insights mean A Lot to me  😍 

Gail Combs

You are very welcome. I just hope and pray my suspicions are incorrect.

FWIW, I just fielded a call from the guy who has represented the hunting club that leases our land and has for the past 40 yrs (we have been here for 30)

I could literally hear the tears in his voice. He was president of the club for 40 years. Now he is hearing thru the grapevine someone is pushing him out and contacting the landowners and getting leases behind his back. He wanted to know if we had been contacted and if we would still lease to him. Mean while he is being told he has to move his hunting stands off the other property. J is probably in his 70s and I think it is a very nasty move on the part of the Club members.

Needless to say I will be working with him to see he at least has our land to hunt on. We also own the access road to the entire area. 🤓 And I already have a gate across it.

Valerie Curren

Good grief, that is so sad. Glad you are able to be so supportive of him. That family homestead I mentioned elsewhere w/ the 3 huge pines marking an ancestress’ “dead” doll’s grave was sold off to a Hunt Club back after my dad’s namesake grandpa died. I saw the historical deed with lots of famiy signatures on it & was bummed my grandpa & his siblings didn’t want to hold onto that historical family farmland. I have no idea if that Hunt Club still uses “our” land or not  🙄 

Edit: It looks like the Hunt Club area was on different family property, in Oakland County, MI on the edge of Metro Detroit not where the doll was buried on a different homestead for a different branch of the family it seems. Our family property was sold to the Grosse Pointe Hunt Club (fox hunting & equestrian sports apparently) in the late 1950s I believe. We had family land in Dryden & Addison as far as I know. I’ll have to dig up those documents again to check things out!

“…is located in Metamora and Dryden Townships of Lapeer County and Oxford and Addison Townships of Oakland County.”

https://www.metamorahunt.com/history/

Funny this property was on my dad’s side but my mom’s adoptive parents also had property in the Metamora area, the cottage they winterized & then lived in following the “white flight” that drove both sets of my grandparents out of Detroit, where they’d planned on remaining & only using cottages in the Summer, instead of year-round residences. funny that 🙂

J is a really nice guy and has been very good about helping maintain the access road and other stuff. It really is sad when someone pulls that type of crap on an old man.

Valerie Curren

Yes it is cruel & classless. Their parents & grandparents would likely be appalled by their behavior!

Gail Combs

Very true.

Wolf Moon

Have to agree with Gail. There are problems here, and it’s good to get people who are not part of the conflict into the process.

I was able to observe a very smart estate plan. The executor was a cousin of the deceased who inherited nothing and only received moderate reimbursement from the estate for time and money spent. It worked perfectly, and was extremely fair, which was amazing, considering that some of the squabbling inheritors could not even talk to each other, and some exhibited mental illness, irrationality, and near-criminality.

The point is, your bro and his wife are extremely biased in this. I understand their concerns and can even sympathize with them, if they were primary caregivers, but railroading their preferred solution is not the way. I have to ask if it is possible for them to hand off executor duty to a mutually agreeable and more distant relative.

cthulhu

With the Fiancee and her sister, I recommended that their mother choose a bank as the executor. That worked very well, as they both had to gang up on the banker to do anything odd.

Valerie Curren

There technically should be no “them” as Only Little Bro is the Executor/Trustee, but his wife is clearly assisting & likely infuencing him. & he gets $50/hour Now for his Trustee work.

(Hubby thinks that she/SIL has some type of mental illness, along w/ 2 of their 5 kids, & she did injure her back caring for my dad & had to go to the hospital & got on painkillers that made it difficult to do her work-from-home medical coding job that I heard she ended up losing. She is a major go-getter & gets crap done way faster than anyone in my family of origin ever would, fwiw)

My other bro in OK is named as a back-up Trustee but I don’t think he received Any training from Dad or his various professionals, plus he’s a thousand miles away, which would complicate things significantly. There are provisions for professionals to step in, but they would probably cost more than the $50/hr little bro gets so drain resources faster.

I will be curious to see what “my” Estate Attorney advises at our meeting, currently scheduled for this Wednesday.

We have to tread lightly as there are a couple of places within the Will/Trust document, 65 pages, that say that if anyone challenges what is being done then they can be treated as if they pre-deceased my parents & will then get Nothing.

Little bro has stated multiple times how he is within his rights to do anything he chooses about the various properties etc., at a minimum, sell, rent, distribute, etc. His expansive rights are detailed multiple times within those 65 pages. The document however practically opens with a very straightforward clause that the Executor/Trustee is to do Everything for the Benefit of the Beneficiaries, fwiw. My family has suffered mental/emotional harm multiple ways since even before Dad died.

We are really afraid to speak up directly to him in case he interprets That harshly & straight up disinherits me…sigh…

Dad’s Estate is pretty substantial so there is more money than I’ve ever seen at risk & we don’t want to jeapardize this in any way during the process…

cthulhu

Having an attorney keeps you from second-guessing yourself.

Wills frequently contain nonsense and provisions that contradict each other. Often there are rules to detangle this — and your attorney should know them.

Valerie Curren

keeps you from second-guessing yourself.” We might wish but I think that ONLY God could do That with me!

I did mention the “Contest Clause” to her that little bro T/E pointed out again when I said I was getting an attorney & she made it sound like that was pretty much boilerplate language.

At least her interpretations of documents should be from what is “best” for me within the confines of the established parameters. If she doesn’t bail all together because our situation is just too complex & time consuming (even though I’ll be paying for her time).

cthulhu

One thing about “whining” is that it helps you recall clearly the information your attorney will need, which will help keep legal bills manageable.

Good move on getting an attorney.

The COVID Reckoning That Never Came

And the Silence That Proves the Psyop

Over the last several years I have been posting nonstop on X about the same nightmares we’ve been living through…the COVID psyop, the experimental mRNA shots, the mandates that destroyed lives, the injuries, the excess deaths, and the relentless propaganda machine that tried to silence anyone who noticed the bodies piling up. I have watched it all in real time: the fear porn, the goalpost moving, the “safe and effective” lies repeated like gospel while real-world data told a different story.

Now we have fresh, documented revelations that should have blown the lid off of everything. Instead? Crickets from the media and, more disappointingly, from the current administration that promised accountability.

Senator Ron Johnson dropped another devastating report and hearing in late April 2026: “Unmasked: How Biden Health Officials Purposely Turned a Blind Eye Toward COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Signals.” Internal records show FDA officials knew their VAERS monitoring was inadequate to say least. They had better data-mining tools ready to flag clear safety signals: cardiac deaths, strokes, pulmonary issues, Bell’s palsy but they chose not to use them. Why? To avoid “vaccine hesitancy.”

This was not screw-up territory. It was deliberate. Vaccine-injured people sat across from Peter Marks and other top FDA brass begging for acknowledgment. They got stonewalled. Johnson rightly calls this one of the biggest scandals in his decades in public service.

Then in early June he held another hearing exposing potential cancer links to the mRNA shots and the systematic suppression of critical studies. Same playbook: inconvenient science gets buried or attacked.

Around the same time, Tulsi Gabbard, in one of her final moves as DNI, declassified
documents laying out Fauci’s role in funding gain-of-function research at Wuhan, the lab-leak cover-up, the intelligence manipulation, and the retaliation against truth-tellers. Millions of taxpayer dollars funneled into risky biolabs, followed by the full narrative-control machine kicking in to blame nature instead of the obvious.

These are not anonymous X threads. This is a sitting Senator with subpoena power and the former Director of National Intelligence dropping official records.

So where is the firestorm? Where are the front-page exposés, the prime-time specials, the demands for real hearings and prosecutions? In 1976 the swine flu vaccine was pulled after 25 deaths and 500 cases of Guillain Barre Syndrome. In the covid shot era we have approximately 39,000 deaths reported to VAERS following the shot. Apparently lives got cheaper over the last 50 years. The legacy media has mostly ignored it, downplayed it, or run the usual “right-wing conspiracy” dismissals. Paid to lie… and crickets on recent FDA COVID vax revelations. Their complicity is not an understatement, rather it was essential to the entire psyop.

Even more frustrating is the relative silence from the current Trump administration. After years of vowing to expose the lies and drain the swamp on the pandemic response, these revelations land and… not much follow-through. No aggressive push for accountability.

No sustained public reckoning for the officials who covered up safety signals or manipulated the origins story. That silence hits hard. Additionally the vaccines are still on the market and this administration is now complicit. What an epic failure!

A lot of us did not need Johnson’s reports or Gabbard’s declassifications to see the fraud. Back in 2022 and 2023, my team at Phinance Technologies was already digging into the data and uncovering the real narrative through our Humanity Projects. We analyzed excess deaths, disability surges, absence rates, and the human and economic costs of mass inoculations when almost no one else wanted to touch it. Check out the full body of work here: Humanity Projects

What we found through cold, hard numbers lined up with what the bodies on the ground were showing. We weren’t surprised by the latest revelations from Senator Johnson. We had been sounding the alarm years earlier, while getting labeled conspiracy theorists for it.

We watched the institutionally well-established benefits of natural immunity get summarily dismissed and memory holed. We saw “two weeks to flatten the curve” turn into endless boosters for the compliant and job losses for the unvaccinated. We saw friends and family injured or worse, then told it was “rare,” “coincidence,” or “misinformation.” Those of us who protested the mandates and the experimental mRNA shots were labeled Russian disinformation, dangerous spreaders, even domestic terrorists. It did not stick, but they tried.

For those who saw through the propaganda early, resisted it, and watched peers fall for it our worldview has forever changed. The greatest cover-up ever. But despite the MSM blackout, word has gotten out through underground channels, thanks in no small part to Senator Ron Johnson and others who refused to let subject die.

The betrayal runs deep. These new revelations do not surprise us but rather they confirm what the data and our own eyes showed years ago. They lied. They knew they were lying. They censored, gaslit, and destroyed lives to protect the narrative. Many institutions including public health, intelligence, media, Big Pharma were all in on it and still propagating the lies today.

That loss of trust is profound and permanent for millions of us. We no longer default to believing official statements. We demand primary data. We assume self-preservation and narrative control from authorities until proven otherwise. The COVID era did not just damage credibility on one issue instead it shattered how an entire group of people view government, “experts,” and authority. “Doing your own research” proved to be a critical lifesaver.

The people in authority still defending the garbage jab or pretending none of this matters can keep taking their 12 boosters (dirty little secret… they are not). The rest of us are done. We are profoundly changed. More skeptical. More data driven. Less willing to comply. Team Humanity was born out of this mess.

The window for real accountability is slamming shut. Even if these official revelations get memory-holed, the lesson is clear: they never planned to come clean. They want us to forget and move on to the next crisis.

I am not forgetting. And from what I see every day, millions are not either. As time rolls forward and the cognitive dissonance of those who took the vaccine wears off…our numbers will continue to grow.

“For nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, nor is anything secret that will not be known and come to light.” — Luke 8:17

Right there with ya. WORSE is when you try to tell friends they took a possible poison they refuse to listen. I got from a friend, on a peer reviewed paper a suggested — there are too few subjects. 🙄WHO is feeding this shit to them? This was from a guy without a high school education!

So maybe they could use dead people as evidence. Would be easy enough to document. Dead people with white, fibrous clots coursing their arteries and veins. Compare the names of deceased to jab records.

https://ijirms.in/index.php/ijirms/article/view/2201

We already know the answer. We knew a long time ago – hence “clot” shots.

Medical industry induced genocide with collusion from the deep state government and a foreign, communist adversary. There is no other causation to consider. Just like we know it was not an “accidental” release of the engineered COVID virus. A virus that just so happened to have gene therapy shots on standby ready to go into production. All arranged by DS influence with Emergency Use Authos, liability waivers, and fear porn promoted from fake news media cronies.

Kal stated their intent long ago. 14/15 gotta go. Nothing has changed other than they have been caught. They are still gaslighting and using their defense tactics while continuing to try to make money through whatever means possible.

That is why I said it is possible the DOJ is actually working on a major RICO case connected to the Russia, Russia, Russia crap.

Valerie Curren

Oldest son’s MIL w/ 2+ decades in the funeral business SWEARS that those white fibrous clots in deceased blood vessels showed up After covid but BEFORE the covid shots. She said embalmers & funeral homes discussed it extensively then, sometimes in sort of back-channel ways. Someone w/ great research skills might be able to unearth Proof of this “eye-witness” account.

IMO covid was a relatively weak engineered bio-weapon while the shots are a much stronger bio-weapon & wreak more havok as they invade the body more deeply than (primarily) the breathing passages & the alimentary canal. I believe the Shedding issue means we are all likely exposed to some degree even if never shot up nor ill  😡 

Gail Combs

I agree with all you say. I notice I have a resurgence of Long Covid in the fall when I have been around a lot of young kids.

Valerie Curren

Ever since I had my “bleeding” incident by being at the Cottage & sleeping in the same bed my “vaxxed” aunt & later my “vaxxed” DIL slept in a month+ earlier than I slept in it (I spotted that entire week plus was Extremely Sick) I now discover spotting whenever I am in public for a number of hours, almost always when visiting U of M hospital even if I don’t touch another person. I’ve been post-menopausal for nearly a decade so this is Very Different for how my body has previously been 🙁

I also still have Long Covid but haven’t been serious with a protocol to see if I can kick it. It’s mostly heavy colored phlegm in the morning but sometimes coughing morning &/or evening, but no other symptoms.

I’ve decided on a red maple tree for mom.
Years ago, when my sister passed, I planted purple hyacinths in her honor on the bank in front of the garden. They came up and bloomed and smelled wonderful! the first year. then the squirrels dug up and ate the bulbs.
When hubby’s father died, the funeral home gave the family an evergreen sapling and hubby planted it in a pot and had it at his office. It currently is sitting in the corner in the living room. When his mom passed, we planted hers and had it on the deck where it was doing fine till something dug it out of the pot and it died.
Since then, my father passed and we got an oak tree for him. It’s growing just fine along the driveway–straight and perfectly shaped. I bought winter pear trees in memory of my sister and brother in law last year and they’re doing great as well–same side as Dad’s oak along the driveway. So i told hubby I want to put Mom’s tree between the oak and the pear trees and i picked a red maple–red was mom’s favorite color.

As a teen, I asked for a blue spruce for Christmas. We had it as a Christmas tree and then planted it in the front yard. Many years later I drove past the house and saw my beautiful blue spruce had grown taller than the 2 story house. The white paper birch, I had rescued from a construction site, by pulling it out with my thoroughbred X-race horse, had also grown in to a beautiful tree in the side yard.

And OAKS, Oh my we had a very old oak that must have been 4-5 feet in diameter. That house was just north of NYC and was probably there when the Americans were fighting the Brits.

….

So yes, trees make great living memorials. I hope yours live long into the future.

I think I mentioned before when my dad’s dad was with us in Western MI & he had us drive by the old family homestead where his grandma, iirc, had planted three pine trees to mark a broken doll’s grave. They were Huge & very close together when we saw them then & it made quite an impression on my teenage self! Beautiful bridges across time!

Yes they are. I have a favorite oak tree I drive past on the way into town. It sits at the edge of a field with no other trees around it. It just has such character that I like to watch it thru the seasons.

There are several trees I really enjoy observing over the years & the seasons too. Even their skeletal structure in Winter is beautiful 🙂

Interesting. There is a tree planted in the middle of the Huron River by a small dam, that we pass on the way to U of M hospital so I’ve been watching it literally for 30 years. It has beautiful flowers in the Spring & beautiful leaves in the Fall. It’s shape seems nearly perfectly roundly symetrical & it makes my heart sing practically every time I see it.

Of course some years ago some poor person’s body was tangled up on that “dam” so that Slightly lessens the overall joy…Thankfully I only read about that & didn’t witness it directly…

Number One Priority. Pass SAVE America Act.

IT’S OFFICIAL — PRESIDENT TRUMP JUST DROPPED: “I will not sign the Housing Bill, which has been fully approved by Congress and sent to the White House, in PROTEST over the fact that the United States Senate is not capable of passing THE SAVE AMERICA ACT, which is polling at 97% with the Republican Party, and very high with the non-politician Dumocrats.”

“The Act states, quite simply, that to Vote a person must show PHOTO VOTER I.D., PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP, AND THAT THERE WILL BE NO MORE CROOKED, CORRUPT, & DESTABILIZING MAIL-IN BALLOTS (EXCEPTIONS for Military, Disabled, Illness, and Travel!).”

“THE SAVE AMERICA ACT’S non-passage is CRAZY, and a serious threat to any politician who votes against it!”

“If the Dumocrats, or any RINO (or worse!) working with them, do not allow a positive Vote on SAVE AMERICA, TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER, and pass this, and every other Bill that true Republicans have ever dreamt of (In addition to the upcoming Budget BOMB and the 1929 catastrophic style DEBT CEILING BILL!).”

“The Dumocrats will TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER, if and when they ever get the chance to do so, in their very first hour – And I will no longer be able to call them Dumocrats again! The title of DUMB will revert to the Republicans who allowed this horrible calamity to happen to our Party, and our Nation, itself! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP”

Is the Save America Act a head-fake? As Alpha pointed out, even if passed, Marc Elias and a radical Socialist judge will see to it that it is tied up in the courts for years.

Trump may have other plans on the back burner. There is some glimpses of those plans surfacing.

Five G warfare. POTUS is keeping the SAVE ACT and illegals and mail-in voting scams in the news.

Aubergine

I found this article fascinating for many reasons. One of them being that I am very analytically minded, and also have never wavered in my belief in God, even when I wasn’t Christian.

“For decades, the same story circulated through faculty lounges, media greenrooms and podcast studios. Religion endures because people fail to think hard enough. Faith is for the emotional, the nostalgic and the simple-minded. Flip the switch to start thinking analytically and God disappears.

A recent study published in Psychology of Religion and Spirituality just dismantled that rather idiotic myth. Researchers set out to confirm what secular academia treats as gospel: that prompting people to think analytically would weaken their religiosity. They found nothing. No effect among the devout. No effect among the doubtful. No effect among those temperamentally drawn to logic puzzles. The result was a flat zero. Which is rather interesting, because an entire intellectual brand was built on the opposite assumption.”

https://religionunplugged.com/news/analytical-thinking-doesnt-make-people-less-religious?utm_source=bg&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsandknowledge_20260703&utm_term=bible_gateway_news%20%28GDPR%20Friendly%29

Speaking of analytical religious thought; the last “click” that cemented my Christian beliefs was my analysis of the Resurrection. I realized that, knowing what I do about human behavior, politics, and power, there was absolutely no possible way on Earth that Jesus didn’t rise from the grave.

The “powers” that killed him, the religious authority that was on the losing end of the Savior’s birth, death, and resurrection, would certainly have moved heaven and earth in pursuit of His body after His death and presented it as evidence that He was dead, could they have but done it. They would have tortured Joseph of Arimathea and his companions to reveal it. They would have pursued the Apostles in the period leading up to the Pentecost. They would have bribed, coerced, and exhorted every person they could find. They would have gone to ANY lengths necessary to maintain their power and control.

But there was no body to find, no death to be revealed, because the tomb was EMPTY.

And the true irony is, I would bet that deep down most of them understood their Messiah had come at last, and they had missed it. PRIDE would not let them admit it.

That’s my “analytic mind” at work.

Valerie Curren

I met one about a month ago at the library & we exchanged contact info but haven’t further communicated. He was neither as sophisticated nor as knowledgeable as Steve…but boy is he lost 🙁

Aubergine

It’s sad, really.

I also no longer engage closed minds on any topic. People who have made up their minds about something, and are mulish and unreachable are too hard. They make me frustrated and sad.

You can tell who they are, because they will never concede even the smallest point, even when presented with actual evidence. That’s when I give up.

Valerie Curren

That’s sad too but self-preservational. It’s like when someone is drowning, you have to wait until they’ve exhausted themselves fighting water they don’t know how to allow to hold them up because if you try to rescue them too soon they can drag you down too 🙁

Good morning, C&C, it’s Friday! Your roundup includes: the Trump Administration gets back in the birthright citizenship ring and takes on another round with the Supreme Court, after discovering billboards for birthrights; Fifth Circuit confirms lower ruling finding that Texas’s law giving illegal aliens in-state tuition is illegal; H1-Bs back on the menu, as feds launch historic criminal investigation into employment abuses; and in the wake of the Supreme Court’s Slaughter decision, President Trump fires another ‘independent’ Democrat board of commissioners— this time for the agency that helps states install electronic voting machines and ‘improve’ mail-in balloting.

H1Bs need to be banned entirely. Any company that fires Americans should not be allowed to hire foreigners. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is a traitor and he appointed a fellow Indian with no gaming experience to run XBOX, then she laid off 3,000 people and was appointed to a Fed board. Unacceptable. This is happening at a mass scale all over corporate America.

E.M. Smith (Chiefio) wrote an article about how Disney fired him and a bunch of other Americans AFTER they had trained their replacements.

Daily Mail: Disney ‘forced 250 of its American IT workers to train up the…

American ex-Disney employees say they were fired because the company wanted to replace them with cheaper Indian workers on visas; Disney denies the claim.

Disney Fires Workers, Makes Them Train Replacements

Fired Disney Workers Train Replacements. … “It was so humiliating to train somebody else to take over your job,” one former employee, an American man in his 40s, told the Times. “I still can’t grasp it.”

I can not find the article I remember but I found these:

The Lie Of Needing Science and Math Visa WorkersPosted on 23 November 2011 by E.M.Smith

In Conclusion

There is NO need what so ever for any enhanced visa program for workers with technical degrees. We’re already oversupplied with education for those jobs (why are no American Students getting those slots that are going to foreigners? Hmmm? I know a lot of smart kids with good grades who had to fight their way into some kind of acceptance at a US school. Don’t tell me we don’t have the talent, we do. I know those kids). Even at that, we are producing way more math and significantly more engineering degrees than we need. So much so that I know folks who are telling their kids not to waste their time on just such a degree (i.e. me, for one, and computer science in particular for my kid).

The only reason we “need” H1B visas, especially with unemployment at 20+% for young kids and 9% overall, is to let corporations keep their costs down. It’s a political sop to wealthy contributors, nothing more.

So please, can we get back to the notion that American Public Schools are for training American kids for American jobs? The foreigners have their own countries (with their own taxes and their own schools and payrolls) and we don’t need to be giving them an express pass ahead of our own kids either for seats in school or for jobs after that.

James has a great comment as usual.

James Goodrich 

Isn’t it something to sit back and witness the democrat party’s election process. For months they all stood behind a man that for decades had a Nazi tattoo on his chest, many said it was sexy. Platner sexted numerous women, some underage girls just 6 months into his marriage. Was accused of physically assaulting women he had relations with. Bending their arms behind their backs, grabbing their arms hard enough to leave bruises, locking them in bedrooms, you know sexy things like that. He was 100% in on Men in girls sports.

If you’re winning nothing matters to democrats. Platners polling was up, the money was rolling in, millennial socialists were enamored by his bashing of the rich. The major communist leaders of “The Party” were all in. Schumer, AOC, Ro Khanna, Bernie Sanders; Elizabeth Warren said he’s my type of man. Anything goes if you’re winning.

But once his polling began to turn, the money was drying up, it looked as though he couldn’t win, the thousand cuts began to take there toll on his commy candidacy. The democrats gave the green light for Jenny Racicot to tell her story, first to politico and then the interview on CNN. She told how he forced his way into her apartment after being told she didn’t want to see him. And how he sexually assaulted her, raped her after being told to stop. Normally this would be acceptable, a resume enhancer, common behavior for a democrat, just ask Tara Reade, Kathline Willie, Juanita Broaddrick, Paula Jones, Monica Lewinsky, they truly don’t care as long as you’re winning. But if the polling shows you can’t win, the moneys drying up, thats when you get thrown under the bus! The knifes come out. Et Tu Chuck Schumer. They give you the Joe Biden treatment. Now the democrats have to pick a new candidate. Who gives a crap about who the voters picked.

Just like CNN mysteriously showing up at the FBI Mar-a-Lago raid or CNN by chance being there for Roger Stone’s 3 AM arrest, within 4 minutes of the CNN interview with Racicot, all Platners major communist/democrat supporters Schumer, Warren, Sanders, Khanna came out and pulled their support for Platner. Baffling how they all must have been watching CNN at that very moment! It’s a miraculous coincidence!

Well this creep, the rapist was finally pushed out. Honestly he still had a great chance of winning with the Maine democrat/communist voters, after all he is a fellow traveler. They knew they only have until July 13th to get him off the ticket, and bringing Racicot out was the final straw. Maybe theres a nice big mansion on Graham Lake in Maine in Platners future similar to what they gave Bernie Sanders. it’s like their playbook. He’ll probably be moving in any day now. No democrat election tampering there though!

The whole time, the democrats knew about these rape allegations, it was the ace up their sleeve, they just truly don’t care what he’s done. They were willing to send a rapist to the Senate, right up until his polling, his donations and his chances of winning fell off the cliff.

Really with his record of physically, mentally and sexually demoralizing woman, Platner definitely is the perfect democrat!

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, July 10, 2026

“Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:”

Hebrews 12:28 (KJV)

COMMENTARY FOR HEBREWS 12:28

An exhortation to be constant and persevere, The example of Christ is set forth, and the gracious design of God in all the sufferings believers endured. (1-11) Peace and holiness are recommended, with cautions against despising spiritual blessings. (12-17) The New Testament dispensation shown to be much more excellent than the Old. (18-29)

18-29 Mount Sinai, on which the Jewish church state was formed, was a mount such as might be touched, though forbidden to be so, a place that could be felt; so the Mosaic dispensation was much in outward and earthly things. The gospel state is kind and condescending, suited to our weak frame. Under the gospel all may come with boldness to God’s presence. But the most holy must despair, if judged by the holy law given from Sinai, without a Saviour. The gospel church is called Mount Zion; there believers have clearer views of heaven, and more heavenly tempers of soul. All the children of God are heirs, and every one has the privileges of the first-born. Let a soul be supposed to join that glorious assembly and church above, that is yet unacquainted with God, still carnally-minded, loving this present world and state of things, looking back to it with a lingering eye, full of pride and guile, filled with lusts; such a soul would seem to have mistaken its way, place, state, and company. It would be uneasy to itself and all about it. Christ is the Mediator of this new covenant, between God and man, to bring them together in this covenant; to keep them together; to plead with God for us, and to plead with us for God; and at length to bring God and his people together in heaven. This covenant is made firm by the blood of Christ sprinkled upon our consciences, as the blood of the sacrifice was sprinkled upon the altar and the victim. This blood of Christ speaks in behalf of sinners; it pleads not for vengeance, but for mercy. See then that you refuse not his gracious call and offered salvation. See that you do not refuse Him who speaketh from heaven, with infinite tenderness and love; for how can those escape, who turn from God in unbelief or apostacy, while he so graciously beseeches them to be reconciled, and to receive his everlasting favour! God’s dealing with men under the gospel, in a way of grace, assures us, that he will deal with the despisers of the gospel, in a way of judgment. We cannot worship God acceptably, unless we worship him with reverence and godly fear. Only the grace of God enables us to worship God aright. God is the same just and righteous God under the gospel as under the law. The inheritance of believers is secured to them; and all things pertaining to salvation are freely given in answer to prayer. Let us seek for grace, that we may serve God with reverence and godly fear.

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.

HAVE A VERY BLESSED DAY !!!  ❤️❤️❤️


Wolf Moon

IMO, Sasha the Soviet Bomb-Thrower is stirring up bad, wrong trouble.

But it worked. She actually made the IMA issue a clarification that they’re not endorsing this potential therapy.

Here is the statement!

We appreciate the feedback from our community on this segment. The Independent Medical Alliance and Dr. Ryan Cole reject the characterization that discussing an experimental therapy constitutes an endorsement of that therapy.

This interview addressed a novel gene therapy that has entered early human trials and sought to explain the underlying science and potential implications to the public. Physicians have a responsibility to discuss emerging medical developments, especially those that may generate significant public interest and ethical questions.

IMA remains committed to scientific integrity, informed consent, transparency, and rigorous evidence-based evaluation of all medical interventions. We have consistently maintained that new therapies, whether pharmaceuticals, biologics, vaccines, or gene-based technologies, must be subjected to careful scrutiny regarding both their potential benefits and their risks.

Legitimate questions concerning the safety, efficacy, and long-term consequences of experimental therapies deserve thoughtful scientific debate. Such questions should be addressed through data, peer-reviewed research, and open discourse rather than through personal attacks or mischaracterizations of intent.

Our position has not changed: science advances through inquiry, transparency, and respectful debate. Discussing an emerging therapy is not synonymous with promoting, endorsing, or recommending it.

— Dr. Joseph Varon, Chief Executive Officer, Independent Medical Alliance

There’s a transcript on the page, too.

https://imahealth.substack.com/p/reversing-aging-gene-therapy-enters?utm_source=substack&utm_campaign=post_embed&utm_medium=web

Now, a couple of points. The promoter piece of SV40 is nucleic acid, not protein. It’s a piece of the virus DNA. I’m not going to get into how dangerous using pieces of SV40 actually is – just trying to clarify what is what here. Pieces of SV40 DNA are used (or abused) to get OTHER DNA to express.

Here is some discussion.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/chapter/bookseries/abs/pii/S0079660308603499

Here is DuckAI on it.

Search Assist

The SV40 promoter is a DNA sequence derived from simian virus 40 used to drive gene expression in mammalian cells, commonly included in plasmid vectors for cloning and gene therapy applications. It is a constitutive promoter that enhances transcription efficiency in a wide range of cell types.

The other side is notorious for minimizing the potential risks of using pieces of SV40, and their allies in Big Pharma, the Financial Cabal, and intelligence agencies help them by planting discreditation among those who question the use of SV40 promoter, since the “wrong truths” might interfere with “progress”.

Wolf Moon

I will say one thing. If I’m 80 years old and going blind, and some treatment with a 1% chance of cancer and a 90% chance of restoring my vision is available, I’m taking it. Therefore, even if this technology is a cancer risk, it’s worth investigating for sure, and taking maybe.

Wolf Moon

PS – Ryan Cole is a hero and a real scientist. Sasha is Sasha. TROUBLE.

Alison

Thanks for commenting, Wolf. No medical decision is black or white for the person facing it. Weighing the facts, the odds, the quality of life is most definitely an individual decision.

Folks spoke above (or below 🤷‍♀️) about never taking an eye injection and the evils of the ingredients like chinese hamster ovaries. I woke up one morning 7 years ago in my mid 60s with VERY SUDDEN onset of wet macular degeneration in my left eye. My vision decline in that eye cannot be restored; the best I could hope for was slowing the decline to eventual total loss. All while knowing there is 100% certainty it will eventually occur in my right eye.

This situation for me is NOT AT ALL similar to declining the covid shots or age reversal crap. I have a healthy immune system; I would never have accepted a covid shot.

My eyes and my vision are the single most important organ to my quality of life. I could lose my hearing, my taste, my sense of smell or touch and not care. People think larger screens or audio replacing reading or blah blah blah will compensate for wet macular. THEY DON’t. i cannot describe the broken fractal that vision becomes AND THIS MONTHLY EYE INJECTION HAS STABILIZED MY VISION. For 7 years Avastin, then Eyelea and now Vabysmo have given me the gift of vision that I had no other way to save.

I am thankful every day for eye shots that work (and no discernible negative effects).

Informed decision and right to try should always be the way. I’d also prefer a bit of grace for the fact that none of us walks in another’s shoes. Saying you would “NEVER” …… on a medical choice without actually facing that decision … none of us knows what meducal decisions our future holds.

Wolf Moon

Vabysmo is fascinating stuff! Another great example of how awesome monoclonal antibodies are.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faricimab

I hope they keep working for you, and if somebody creates a gene therapy that treats or cures some fraction of macular degeneration cases, that it becomes available!

Alison

Thanks, Wolf. I have now begun Eyelea HD monthly shots which – for me – are giving me a smidge better result than the Vabysmo. I am fortunate to have a very qualified & engaged retina soecialist, and continue to thank God for the vision I have each day.

prayers for your eye & other issues as well.

Appreciate the links you’ve provided in your comments. Be well 🩷

Wolf Moon

Thanks! You, too!

Wolf Moon

Full details of the study are here. IMO, if this is successful, we may see the seam technique usable for other optical corrections.

https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT07290244

cthulhu

My father had serious eyeball degeneration and received a cocktail of drugs that stabilized it……which continued too long and cut off blood supply to his optic nerve. He now is legally blind, though his retina is reasonably healthy.

If he were going to live forever, I could hope for stem-cell therapy to try to regrow his optic nerve. I don’t think it will happen soon enough to help him.

Alison

I responded but mistyped my e-addy 🥲 If you find my comment in bin, please correct & post it. Thanks Wolf. Very hard for my eyes to see the o key instead of the i key. That’s what the fractal break impact is of wet macular degeneration.

Wolf Moon

Just found it now – sorry you have to deal with this! Yes, my increasing age-related medical issues include a constant fight to preserve my vision, which is “good but edgy”, and which I use to full advantage.

Valerie Curren

Hope you saw TB’s recent report on the benefits of DMSO for his wife’s eyes…in case any of that info might help you too 🙂

Gail Combs

DMSO seems to be helping my back.

Valerie Curren

Wonderful! Hubby has been using a DMSO cream alternating with Tiger Balm for his back & body aches lately but not in several recent days. Hope yours heals you through & through!

Wolf Moon

Yes, it’s very interesting! Fortunately, I haven’t had to reach for that solution yet!

Valerie Curren

As much as that Midwester Doctor has written about DMSO it sounds pretty close to a miracle cure-all!

Wolf Moon

I personally would not use DMSO on myself unless I understood the mechanism of its action for my particular need. I’ve been using DMSO since undergraduate days, and always knew WHY it was working, physically or chemically, for whatever I was using it for, and that old habit has died hard!

cthulhu

A reasonable approach to any substance.

Valerie Curren

Very interesting. What made YOU decide to stop using it?

cthulhu

He didn’t say he stopped using it, he said he wasn’t going to start using it in his eyes.

Valerie Curren

OK I guess I misread what he said then.

It did remind me of when we put Josiah on ADHD meds as a grade school child. The doctor said that the mechanism as to why such meds worked wasn’t clearly understood but the fact that they worked so well & helped such kids function better in school, & sometimes at home, is why so many kids ended up using such medication “support”. Because my son was so practically unmanageable I allowed such meds to be used on him, probably for about a decade, sadly…

Wolf Moon

I used DMSO for a large number of scientific purposes. I have never used it on myself medically.

Valerie Curren

Ah, TY 🙂

Aubergine

Yes, I would do that, as well.

Wolf Moon

No problem!

SV40 remains a sticky problem for science. I think the fact that we don’t fully understand it, but are using it anyway, has ALWAYS been a problem. Less now than before, but still a problem.

SpaceX outdid themselves again.

Behind the scènes of last Starship and Super heavy launch, including Pad preparation, static fire, and launch and landing in Indian Ocean:

The path to launch is filled with obstacles and success is only possible through the tireless efforts of many working together towards a common goal. “Critical Path” continues the ongoing Starship series, following SpaceX engineers through the final days before launch of the first Starship V3 and the challenges that come with development of the world’s most powerful and fully reusable rocket.

Cock Blocked A phrase suddenly everywhere among senior government appointees, and what its spread reveals about who is really winning in Washington.
Dr. Robert W. Malone
Jul 08, 2026

The short version. A crude phrase, cock blocked, has become the house idiom of this administration’s senior appointees, and it is worth taking seriously. The word is evidence that the permanent bureaucracy is quietly winning. The populist agenda is being obstructed from below by career staff and, more consequentially, captured from above by the very industries it promised to confront. Three fights, over talc, glyphosate, and atrazine, show the machinery at work.

Even the fact that women now use a phrase once reserved for locker rooms is a clue to how thoroughly this bureaucratic culture has permeated the administration.

I think I would wait a bit before saying the Cabal won. Remember this war has been going on for the last 250 years. It can not be undone in just a few years. However now more and more people are AWARE and that is a major win in this war.

See what  Gen. Holt has to say LINK

The red coats lost at Yorktown. They came back for round two. They lost there. And then the financialists took over. And then the globalists did what they did, starting with our industrialist, Wall Street link up, uh, Woodrow Wilson, the sham 16th amendment, the sham 17th amendment, our taxation, and our the way we pick Senators.

 

And then it just goes deeper and deeper into, because now MI6 is born, 1903, and then we start to see the foundations and the formation of their army called the Deep State. And this extends across all these intelligence agencies.

they just synthetically colonized the United States. It’s no accident that the Royal Institute of International Affairs and Chattam House have had the American President-to-be come out and genuflect with them, and everybody’s done that, except for Trump.

 

And it’s no accident that the the President has been in the target of many assassins bullets by now. They don’t want to win this war. They have been in power since the fall of Rome, and they’ve been in every different incarnation. Well, here they are…

“[NJ allows] non-residents who have never lived in New Jersey to register and vote in the state’s elections.”

RNC Sues Colorado Over Overseas Voting Rules

The Republican National Committee (RNC), along with two Colorado Republican officials, has filed a lawsuit against Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold, challenging a policy that allows certain US citizens living overseas to register and vote in Colorado elections.

The case, filed in Denver District Court, includes Douglas County Clerk Sheri Davis and US Rep. Jeff Crank as co-plaintiffs. It targets state guidance interpreting the federal Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA), which permits some citizens abroad to register in Colorado even if they have never lived in the state, so long as a parent, guardian, spouse, or domestic partner previously resided there.

The lawsuit argues this violates Colorado’s constitutional residency requirements, claiming that residency cannot be established through family ties and that individuals who have never personally lived in the state do not qualify as residents under the state constitution. It seeks to block the policy and remove affected voters from the rolls.

Ashe in America: While I am always supportive of suing Jena Griswold, I’m skeptical about this lawsuit because of who is bringing it.

Sheri Davis is my county clerk, and she is a fraud denier. Remember when I called my clerk about the Konnech scandal and the office told me that everything was fine because the vendor said there were no Chinese servers in our elections? Setting aside the fact that Chinese servers were not the allegation — Chinese access was the allegation and the evidence supported it — that was Sheri Davis’ office.

In addition to Davis, we have Jeff Crank, the congressman from Colorado’s fifth district, who thinks he is a champion of election integrity because he voted for the Save America Act. He gave me a word salad when I asked him why we should be paying taxes, and his 2026 campaign has mainly centered on his expansive spending priorities.

Then we have the RNC… they’ve been super huge advocates for the people and their elections, right?

Now consider that the plaintiffs are bringing this lawsuit during the election period on the eve of the Colorado primary “election day.” The timing alone almost ensures that the suit will fail.

I know it’s enjoyable to hear that Jena Griswold got sued; however, if the suit is political bolstering willingly brought despite the knowledge that it will likely fail, then isn’t that an abuse of the legal process? I would say so.

Establishmentarians are easy to spot once you notice the calling cards: A portfolio of half measures and an overt disdain for the People and their desired outcomes.

If you’re in Colorado, happy Primary Election Day! It’s certain to get weird…

Well in MI my special needs son benefits from staffing & respite care workers & has since he was in school. Now his sister is a trained staff for him so she can be on the clock & get paid for transporting him/us to his appointments & other things. It’s kind of a blessing in both of their lives. When she is “clocked in” she is actively managing his needs per her training & experience & when off the clock she’s just his sister. He’s had a relatively young man as a staff for probably about a decade now & they have a great supportive relationship. For these services Josiah gets “supports coordination” from the local Community Mental Health organization we’ve worked with since he was in grade school at least. He also gets some oversight from the organization that pays both of his workers. In fact a leader from that company & his supports coordinator are supposed to do a home visit with him on Monday. The SC has basically only been doing monthly video calls since the covid era so being in-person will potentially be a return to what was “normal” pre-covid criminality…

Gail Combs

In addition to the church we also had county and state help for those in need. Having the federal government involved opens the door to a lot more fraud.

Of course it all depends on people and whether laws are enforced.

Just a warning, with all the fraud that is surfacing, we may see a swing toward a lot less help available for americans.

FCC Chairman Calls Out Sunny Hostin for Saying ‘We Need to Flip the Senate’ While ABC Argues ‘The View’ Is a Bona Fide News Program

Federal Communications Commissioner Brendan Carr took to social media to call out Disney’s ABC TV hostess Sonny Hostin as a strict, left-wing, Democrat operative even as ABC is arguing that her show, The View is a “bona fide news program.”

Carr posted about ABC’s contention that the far-left daytime talk show is a real news program in his post on Thursday.

“ABC is arguing to the FCC that The View is a ‘bona fide news program’—just like Meet the Press—and thus exempt from the political equal opportunity rules,” Carr noted in his post.

He then added video of Hostin outright urging democrats to “flip the Senate.”

“The View’s Sonny Hostin: ‘We’re in an existential crisis. We need to flip the Senate.’”

The Disney-owned TV network recently launched an all-out ad campaign to urge viewers to contact the FCC to tell the government regulatory agency that ABC deserves to have its broadcast licenses renewed after federal officials geared up an investigation into the network for “unlawful discrimination.”

In conjunction with the investigation into ABC’s violations of the equal time rules and other discriminatory actions, the FCC also pushed up the review of ABC broadcast licenses, in a move that ABC calls “unconstitutional.”

Meanwhile, the agency has already opened up the process for ABC’s detractors to file their petitions intended to convince the FCC not to renew ABC’s licenses.

Several watchdog groups and activists have filed petitions accusing ABC of sexual discrimination, political violence, violations of equal time rules, and bending to the will of Chinese operatives, among other charges.

It’s going to be very entertaining if the FCC tells The View they have to give equal time and not push one agenda, because I don’t think those women are capable of keeping their mouths shut. Also, they appear to think they have a right to spew leftist propaganda.

Valerie Curren

She is a HUGE roadblock to passing bills like SAVE America! Thune should just fire her.

Per our Senator Hagerty today, they are inserting the primary provisions of SAVE into the next (third) budget reconciliation bill. The House had been crafting it and Graham’s Senate committee is interacting with them currently. They plan to get it done and will be using financial methods so the Parliamentarian will have no grounds for denial.

kalbokalbs

As I read elsewhere in todays thread, JD can over ride parliamentarian. Last done in 1975.

Grok

1975, by Vice President Nelson Rockefeller.
en.wikipedia.org
This is the most recent (and widely cited) instance of a Vice President, acting as presiding officer of the Senate, overruling the Parliamentarian’s advice. It occurred during debates over procedures for changing the Senate’s filibuster rules. The ruling was highly controversial; Senate leaders from both parties quickly agreed they did not want to set that precedent, and the Senate soon changed the rule through standard procedures.
en.wikipedia.org
Earlier Examples

  • Vice President Hubert Humphrey ruled contrary to the Parliamentarian on filibuster-related matters in 1967 and 1969.
  • ballotpedia.org
  • There have been no confirmed instances since 1975. For example, in 2021, Vice President Kamala Harris followed the Parliamentarian’s advice (e.g., on the $15 minimum wage in reconciliation) despite calls from some Democrats to overrule it.
  • ballotpedia.org

Key Context
The Senate Parliamentarian’s role is advisory only. The Vice President (or other presiding officer) can technically overrule their guidance, but this is extremely rare in modern practice because it risks undermining Senate norms and can lead to immediate pushback or rule changes by the full chamber. Overruling is distinct from the Senate itself voting to sustain or overrule a point of order tied to the Parliamentarian’s interpretation.
bipartisanpolicy.org
Recent discussions (e.g., around budget bills or other legislation in 2025–2026) have involved calls to overrule or fire the current Parliamentarian (Elizabeth MacDonough), but no such action by a Vice President has occurred.
politico.com
Sources like Wikipedia, Ballotpedia, and policy analyses consistently identify 1975 as the last clear case.

pgroup2

The position itself is stupid. The senators are competent enough to vote for bills that often become laws yet are not competent to know whether a bill comports with the Senate’s rules.

This reminds me of kids on a tour of City Hall and one of them gets to be Mayor for a few minutes. In the Senate, they take all their authority and give it to one gal for a few minutes and then obey whatever she says.

BREAKING: High-quality surveillance video has just been shown in court showing Tyler Robinson TAKING THE SHOT at Charlie Kirk

Robinson is SCREWED.

He’s now on his way back to his cage, via a HEAVILY armed escort.

Press were not allowed to stream the video. Only those in the courtroom, including members of the public and family members, were allowed to see the video.

This week was an absolute BEATDOWN for the defense.

The death penalty is staring him directly in the eyes.

Next hearing is set for September 1st here in Utah

TheseTruths

People in the comments are saying that it had been said under oath that there was no video of the shot. I don’t know what is true. Nick Sortor is usually reliable.

Gail Combs

He says:

“…Only those in the courtroom, including members of the public and family members, were allowed to see the video…” So either he saw the video or someone he trust did.

kalbokalbs

Seems lots of stuff is coming out, that I had not known. May as well be video of the shot.

I’ll take Sortor until proven otherwise.

kalbokalbs

Just witnessed something at the Charlie Kirk assassination pre-trial in Utah that has NOT been made public yet and you need to hear about it…

Erika Kirk asked for us to be here today. We sat inside the small courthouse in Provo with the family. The Judge told the media to turn off all cameras and allowed the full ENHANCED footage of the murder to play. Every movement of Tyler Robinson that day captured in full quality HD. Zoomed in. Some footage in 4K. Tracking all his movements.

You can see crystal clear Tyler Robinson’s face, the license plate number on his vehicle, details on his clothing and his actions on the rooftop — and you can time every horrifying detail to the minute Charlie Kirk was murdered.

What the public couldn’t see was the emotion in the courtroom. Charlie’s family sobbing uncontrollably, Erika in Mrs. Kirk’s seniors arms. Charlie’s father comforting them.

Just feet away sat a pale, lifeless emaciated Tyler Robinson who stared at the floor with no remorse as he listened to the weeping.

Robinson has never once looked at Erika this entire trial. The entire courthouse gasped when the video was over.

Eventually this footage will be released. It was really tough to relive that day in such gruesome detail.

This case is overwhelming. Please pray for a speedy trial. And to all the tormenters of the Kirk family, you can go to Hell where you belong.

We pray for Justice for Charlie

TheseTruths

Thanks for posting that. How horrific.

kalbokalbs

As you’ve posted. There is plenty of posts calling out Sortor and Benny. We’ll see.

Judge: “Is there any footage of the alleged shooting?”
Attorney: “There is not, Judge.”

Nick Sortor: “High-quality surveillance video has just been shown in court showing Tyler Robinson TAKING THE SHOT at Charlie Kirk”

Benny Johnson:
“You can see crystal clear Tyler Robinson’s face, the license plate number on his vehicle, details on his clothing and his actions on the rooftop — and you can time every horrifying detail to the minute Charlie Kirk was murdered.”

I don’t know if it’s a question of semantics, that maybe there is no footage of the actual shot being taken (even though Sortor says there is), but there is footage of every other detail, showing Robinson on the roof with the gun, clearly in position at the time the shot was taken, etc.

I hope we get clarification.

pgroup2

What is the meaning of ENHANCED?

Let me get risky here and predict that this video does not get admitted at trial unless at least two experts testify that the vid does not and cannot have any A.I. in it. I predict that the dueling experts [the defense will have a couple also] will take up at least a day of voir dire questioning.

If the probable cause ruling is based in any way on this ENHANCED video, I predict an immediate defense request for appellate review.

Because the video elicited such emotional reaction, it will not be admitted. I cannot figure out why this judge would allow anyone to see this, let alone the courtroom attendees. IMO it should have been sealed, not viewed.

Valerie Curren

Are you suggesting that the emotionality of the reactions is prejudicial against the defendant? I mean a man was murdered & his loved ones & supporters are understandably “upset” including by reliving the event  🙄 

pgroup2

That’s exactly what I’m saying.

Google [or Yandex] probative versus prejudicial. It’s an evidence rule everywhere in USA.

Valerie Curren

So this particular evidence, at least presumably the part that shows Kirk being shot/killed, is considered “prejudicial”, so the defendant cannot be “fairly” judged by his own documented actions…I mean legally he’s “innocent” until “proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt” & such footage appears to be likely to remove Any doubt so he’d be considered “proven guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt”…a bridge too far in America apparently  😳 

Gail Combs

Looks like rock solid evidence is not allowed.

I have no idea what his mental state is, but for a person with a conscience, I would think it might be a considered a penance to know they would one day face the ultimate punishment. Some killers don’t seem to have that kind of conscience; however, Tyler did tell his roommate that he wished he hadn’t done it.

“I get a phone call. Actually, it was a text message from Susie Wiles, who was the campaign manager in 2024. And the text message says, ‘JD, you just missed a very important phone call.’

I’m like, oh, no. So I call the President of the United States and I say, ‘sir, I hear I missed an important phone call.’

And he said, ‘JD, you did miss a very important phone call. And now I’m gonna have to pick somebody else.’

My entire body clenches up. I’m like, ‘is this, is this real?’

And then at the same time, my seven year old, who’s now nine, but at the time, my seven year old boy is talking to me about POKEMAN CARDS.

So I’m trying to talk to the President United States about becoming the Vice presidential nominee. And meanwhile my 7 year old is talking to me about Charmander cards.”

Certain types of cichlids are known as “mouthbrooders” — the female will lay eggs on a rock, the male will pass above them and fertilize them with milt, then the female will pick them up in her mouth and ferry them from place to place (typically while not eating). Once the fry hatch, she will take them to a nice place for them to find food and release them there; she will then collect them again and find another place.

Synodontis catfish will dart in and lay eggs among the happy cichlid couple’s brood and be picked up by the female. They hatch faster and grow faster than the cichlid’s fry, and soon start eating their “siblings”.

It is not unusual for all of the cichlid fry to eventually be catfish food. The only mother the Synodontis will ever have known will have spent time and resources to raise baby fish who share none of her DNA.

Speaking of cichlids, there are certain males that retain their juvenile coloration past their maturity. While there’s all this commotion with a mated pair around a spawning site, they dive-bomb in to deposit a bit of milt on the eggs, thus diluting the mating male’s DNA contribution.

The technical term for these are “sneakers”.

Ever wonder why common housecats scream while mating? Male cats’ apparatus is barbed and scrapes on the way out, thus ensuring fertilization.

You’ve probably heard that and wondered why it wasn’t more quiet.
