Word of The Week:
woonerf
noun
a road in a residential district which uses various measures to calm traffic.
a living street, as originally implemented in the Netherlands and in Flanders (Belgium).
Used in a sentence
Wolf thinks that the word woonerf looks appropriately Dutch. He finds the concept fascinating, because there is little difference between woonerfs and “tiny, bad, and poorly maintained public streets mixed with small private drives, alleys, and overly long driveways, all mixed into a residential mess where you’re not actually sure where the road ends and something else begins.” Not that he’s ever seen such a place!
Why would we mass treat a virus with a drug which forces the virus to mutate, when mutation is how the virus creates new variants that reinfect the vaccinated? Before I explain the title contradiction, let me start with an admission. Most of my life, I have been very friendly with the pharmaceutical industry. I …
Speaking of such things – let’s look at future body count, shall we….
Prefatory Note: This series of pieces on the ongoing disaster of COVID-19 and the COVID-19 “vaccines” is dedicated to my late cousin Bill, who “died suddenly and unexpectedly” in September, 2023. He was a quiet-spoken man, studied philosophy at Notre Dame, owned and ran his own companies. He was, as Yours Truly is, the child of a pharmacist — his father, my late uncle William, went to pharmacy school with my late father on the GI Bill after they served in World War II. Cousin Bill was a hearty man who enjoyed life. He was diagnosed with two heart ailments in the spring of 2022, and was doing well with treatment — until September, 2023. May he rest in eternal Peace.
What Yours Truly will present today regards how the COVID-19 virus itself, let alone the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines”, can apparently induce a form of “accelerated aging” that Yours Truly will call “quasi-progeria.” This topic was presented and discussed on the board here some months ago. There is more information now about how this induced “accelerated aging” occurs.
The following is “not to weary by recitals”, in the words of the Duc de Saint-Simon, the memoirist, but some basic background information is useful.
There are several important “mechanical” body elements that are involved in the aging process: the mitochondria; the telomeres; and the endothelium, among others. Mitochondria are things called organelles and are found in cells. They have a kind of double “membrane” and perform a type of “breathing” called aerobic respiration. This respiration is then used by the cell as a chemical energy source. Telomeres are tiny areas on the ends of chromosomes that have nuclear sequences. When these sequences begin die off, they aren’t replaced; the telomeres simply “shorten” themselves. Cell death occurs when the telomeres become too short to “keep going.” The endothelium is the layer of cells that line the inner surface of the body’s blood vessels. Dysfunction of, or damage to, any or all of these organisms can have a negative effect on the aging process of the body. In the case of HGPS (Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome, or, simply, progeria), these elements and more are involved in a body-wide rapid and progressive “early aging” condition that begins in early childhood and which is invariably fatal to the patient. Most people who have HGPS die before the age of 20, with severe heart complications leading to death as the cause. (Remember the item about heart complications for later on in this piece.)
It appears that there are elements within the SARS-CoV-2 virus (the COVID-19 virus) itself that damage or cause dysfunction to the mitochondria, the telomeres, and the endothelium of the body of someone who contracts an infection of the virus. Since the SARS-CoV-2 virus itself is the foundation of the COVID-19 “vaccines”, it is reasonable to assume, and arguable, that the elements that damage or cause dysfunction as described above will also be present in said “vaccines.” Without getting extremely technical, Yours Truly believes that a great deal of detailed investigation — and, possibly, experimentation — took place while the SARS-CoV-2 virus was in lab development in order for certain exact elements to be inserted into the virus which would specifically target certain exact mechanismsandelements of the mitochondria, the telomeres, and the endothelium of the body. One certain exact element, for example, could be the MCLK1 enzyme of the mitochondria, a reduced level of which causes dysfunction, oxidative distress, and ultimately cell death. “Mitochondria and Reactive Oxygen Species in Aging and Age-Related Diseases”, Carlotta Giorgi, et al. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8127332/
One now turns to the research of Walter M Chesnut on the topic of “accelerated aging” caused by the COVID-19 virus (and, by extension, the COVID-19 “vaccines.”) Mr. Chesnut has been writing on his blog (see below) about this “accelerated aging”, and what it does to the body, for over a year; for example, this blog post of January, 2023: https://wmcresearch.substack.com/p/urgentbreaking-updated-summation. The pull quote from this post: “The Wizard is indeed behind the curtain. We are seeing a 26-year-old die. But that 26-year-old has the organs of a 96-year-old. No surprise in rapid cancers, neurodegeneration, or sudden cardiac death — for a 96-year-old.”
Mr. Chesnut is writing about what the COVID-19 virus itself can do to “prematurely age” the body of a person who contracts a COVID-19 infection. Yours Truly will return to the charge regarding the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines.”
The COVID-19 virus itself can be detected by the body of the infected person as an “enemy”, then destroyed and eliminated from the body by the natural immune system. Is it possible for the virus itself to damage the body of the infected person? Absolutely. Can this damage include negative effects to the mitochrondria, the telomeres, and the endothelium, among other areas of the body? It can. Can the damage impact what is now known as “Long COVID?” It can. Can a COVID-19 virus infection itself cause the death of the infected person? It can. However, if a person is “vaccinated” with modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines”, whether or not the “vaccinated” person also comes down with a COVID-19 infection, the situation is different, since these “vaccines” contain items that create more problems for the body: pseudouridine; lipid nanoparticles; the SV40 cancer gene promoter, and the presence of the PRRARSV “backdoor key”, among other things. The “vaccine” itself will induce a kind of continuous “fake COVID-19 infection” in the “vaccine” recipient, so the body will have to continually fight this off. The pseudouridine assists the “vaccine” to evade the body’s “are you an enemy” immune system detection defenses. The lipid nanoparticles (in and of themselves, dangerous) help to quickly spread the “vaccines” throughout the recipient’s body. The SV40 cancer promoter now has the door wide open to go to work. The PRRARSV “backdoor key” assists the “vaccine” elements to enter all the cells of the recipient’s body. The result, in Yours Truly’s opinion, is that the “vaccinated” person’s body is now much more vulnerable to all kinds of medical issues, from stroke to heart disease to “turbo cancer” to “accelerated aging”, among many others.
The Giorgi, et al., paper mentions several things that can mitigate the aging effects on the body caused by mitochondrial dysfunction: resveratrol; vitamin C; vitamin E; CoQ10; flavenoids; carotenoids; glutathione; melatonin; and exercise. Can these same things mitigate the “accelerated aging” that can happen in a COVID-19 “vaccinated” person? Possibly; along with following a spike protein detox / mitigate protocol such as found at the FLCCC website. Yours Truly will caution that people need to talk with their healthcare practitioner before adding a new element to their diet, vitamins or supplements, or changing the amount taken of an already-existing element.
What follows is a graphic of COVID-19 spike protein damage to the mitochondria, and links to papers, WMC Research, and to FLCCC.

Election 2023 – The Final Stretch
Ohio Issue 1 is definitive. This is the ultimate groomer amendment, backed by the commies, begging to be added to the state’s constitution.
I will be doing what I can, which is never enough, to help defeat this monstrosity.
The choice is stark.
If this passes, parents will lose control of their kids FROM BIRTH – if the babies even make it that far.
I won’t be here on The Q Tree most of the time, during this home stretch, but I invite ALL OF YOU to bring the ammunition here. Bring the news about EVIL Issue One! Help me alert the nation to what they are doing in Ohio, which is worse than what they did in Michigan. Help the people of Ohio stop the insanity of “reproductive freedom” of CHILDREN FROM BIRTH.
After today, I will copy this post as a placeholder until the election is over. I will comment occasionally, but I will have to fight every day to STOP ISSUE ONE.

The still image is from the 1938 movie comedy, “Carefree“, with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. Mr. Astaire plays a psychiatrist and Ms. Rogers plays his reluctant patient. And, yes, there’s lots of great dancing and funny one-liners. And, yes, the psychiatrist cures the patient, and they “go off into the sunset together.” And, yes, the songs are by Irving Berlin and are delightful.
Please get a cup of coffee or tea and settle in to peruse the following. There are so many negative things going on in the world today, so many things to be concerned about. But it is very important not to let the COVID-19 situation and the COVID-19 “vaccines” disaster go out of sight. Yours Truly has tried to avoid making the following sound like a boring college lecture.
Are some people afraid of getting an injection of any kind? Yes. Are they “afraid of needles” in general? Yes. Are they afraid of “what might happen” due to an injection? Yes. These feelings are normal and may be called “anticipatory dread.” These feelings may have started in childhood, or may have started after a negative reaction to an injection later on. Today, Yours Truly will discuss psychiatric issues induced after an injection of a modRNA COVID-19 “vaccine.”
The FDA knew, back in April, 2021, that the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” induce or aggravate over 1,000 medical disorders or illnesses. The document that lists the reports of these serious adverse events is the 5.3.6 Cumulative Analysis of Post-authorization Adverse Event Reports for the Pfizer-BioNTech “flagship” COVID-19 “vaccine”, BNT162b2, in the Appendix 1. List of Adverse Events of Special Interest section at the end of the report. The company gave this document to the FDA on 30 April 2021. The document can be found here:
Among the list of medical disorders and illnesses are at least 23 different items that affect the Central Nervous System and/or the brain of the “vaccine” recipient — from ataxia to Guillain-Barre syndrome to neuropathy to stroke (called “cerebral artery embolism”) to epilepsy to multiple sclerosis (both initial onset and relapse), and more.
However, there are also at least five psychiatric or neuropsychiatric medical conditions on the Appendix 1 list: Alpers disease; Dreamy State [the medical condition]; Limbic Encephalitis; Neuropsychiatric Lupus; Paediatric (sic) autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcal infection (this last one is a kind of “two-fer.”) Alpers disease leads to dementia and liver failure; Limbic Encephalitis is inflammation of the brain’s limbic system (see below); Neuropsychiatric Lupus affects the central nervous system and also has psychiatric presentation (depression); the medical condition of Dreamy State is linked to another condition called “Twilight State”, in which the person loses touch with present reality.
THE LIMBIC SYSTEM OF THE HUMAN BODY — A VERY SHORT OVERVIEW: The limbic system of the human body is part of the cerebrum (the largest part of the brain.) Three important organs of the limbic system are the hippocampus, the thalamus, and the amygdala. The limbic system processes emotions and regulates emotions and memory. It also influences human behavior, long-term memory, and motivation. Behaviors related to the actions of the limbic system include reproduction, the instinct to eat, the taking care of children, and the “fight or flight” response. More information can be found here: https://www.webmd.com/brain/limbic-system-what-to-know
The hippocampus is located in the brain’s temporal lobes directly above the ears. It is important in memory formation, long-term memory, spatial navigation (the ability to “determine and maintain a route from one place to another (Gallistel, 1990).” See https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3380196/.) When the hippocampus is damaged, any of the following may occur, among other issues: memory impairment; disorientation; depression; and amnesia. Keep this in mind when reading on.
Since the rollout of the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines”, a new type of medical research has evolved: the study of the onset of psychiatric issues, including mania, depression, and other conditions, in persons after they receive a COVID-19 “vaccination.” A growing body of investigative papers and articles is being published. It appears that both the Pfizer-BioNTech and the Moderna modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” are responsible for inducing these psychiatric issues. One paper, from researchers in Italy, pinpoints where in the brain the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” appear to “trigger” a negative alert: the hippocampus. The paper can be found here: https://doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.2.17923.84002, titled, “mRNA vaccine against COVID-19 triggers an alert in the hippocampus: Brain Sensors activate in the limbic area.” Using Quantum Biophysical Semeiotics, Sergio Stagnaro and Simone Caramel found that there was a “…sudden and persisting microcirculatory activation, type 1, associated, in the limbic area — and in the hippocampus in particular — starting immediately after the administration of the afore said vaccine…” In other words, it appears that the hippocampus immediately registers an “alarm alert” after the body is injected with a COVID-19 “vaccine.” The “vaccine” referred to in the paper is the Pfizer-BioNTech “flagship” COVID-19 “vaccine”, BNT162b2.
It appears that COVID-19 “vaccine”-induced psychosis can occur in persons who have no prior history of psychiatric issues before “vaccination”; and in persons who do have psychiatric issues tendencies but never exhibited them before “vaccination.” Yours Truly will present the following examples of case studies:
Of the first type of COVID-19 “vaccine”-induced psychosis, in a person who had no prior history of psychiatric issues before “vaccination”: https://www.psychiatrist.com/pcc/covid-19/psychosis-associated-covid-19-vaccination/, from February, 2022. The patient, after being “vaccinated”, began to have hallucinations and anxiety. After admission to the hospital, the patient became combative toward staff. The patient was in the hospital for almost a month, taking medication and under supervision. The patient was then discharged to home, but still had “…some residual symptoms, mainly reduced concentration and motivation.” (Italics mine) Recall what was discussed above about the hippocampus. There is another “clue” in the case report: “…there is a possible viral transmission to the nervous system [of the COVID-19 virus]…via circulation,…” (In other words, in my opinion, COVID-19 virus elements cross the blood-brain barrier; in my opinion, this would implicate the virus’ spike protein and its modRNA present in the “vaccines.”) Unfortunately, it appears that this case report implies that onset of psychosis after a COVID-19 “vaccination” is “rare.”
Of the second type of COVID-19 “vaccine”-induced psychosis, in a person who had psychiatric issues tendencies but never exhibited them until after “vaccination”: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.psychres.2021.114165, from October, 2021. The patient, who had “some schizotypal personality traits ” [a “cluster A personality disorder”] but no exhibition of them previously, began to show grandiose behavior, claimed to be clairvoyant, and other symptoms, after COVID-19 “vaccination.” An MRI showed, among other things a “…focus of susceptibility in the right lateral thalamus.” (Italics mine) The modRNA COVID-19 “vaccine” that the patient took was the Moderna “flagship” COVID-19 “vaccine”, mRNA-1273. After a short hospital stay with supervised medication, the patient was discharged with ongoing medication in stable condition. A week later, he was back at work and asymptomatic. Recall what was discussed above the Limbic System of the brain — the thalamus is part of that system.
In summary: It appears that the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” can, and do, either cause first-onset of, or kick off a predisposition to, psychosis in the “vaccinated” person. It appears that the hippocampus of the “vaccine” recipient’s brain sends out an “alarm alert” immediately upon the person getting “vaccinated.” It appears that the spike protein and its modRNA elements are transmitted to the recipient’s nervous system via the blood. Separately, and, in addition, it is now known that the spike protein and its modRNA migrate to, and enter, into cells in areas all over the body, including to the brain, of a “vaccinated” person. It is also now known that the lipid nanoparticles in the COVID-19 “vaccines”, which facilitate “transfer” of the spike protein and its modRNA to the cells of the recipient’s body, are elements that the body likely cannot break down and eliminate. It is also now known that elements of the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” continue to remain in the recipient’s body for weeks, if not months, after “vaccination.”
A couple of caveats here: First, Yours Truly is not implying that the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines”, once inside a person’s body, will inevitably induce psychiatric issues. Second, that the study of psychiatric issues induced by modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” is just “getting off the ground”, and much more investigation is necessary. (However, recall that incidences of myocarditis after modRNA COVID-19 “vaccination” were previously called “rare”, but which have since been shown to actually be much more numerous. See https://www.openvaers.com/, noting that VAERS actually enumerates only about 40%, at most, of all incidents.)
Among the questions that come to mind, one is: Since the FDA knew back in April, 2021, that the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” can, and do, cause onset of psychosis in persons who take them, why didn’t the agency immediately stop the use of these “vaccines” until the situation could be further investigated?
To begin: Yours Truly is grateful for the opportunity to be an author here at The Q Tree. Thank you, Wolf Moon.
One is not a trained psychologist: she has, however, taken enough courses in psychology in the process of earning her BFA and MA degrees to submit the following opinion piece regarding the entire COVID-19 situation.
Those who frequent this board are aware that the modRNA and the spike protein of the COVID-19 “vaccines”, facilitated by the lipid nanoparticles in said “vaccines”, migrate to all areas of the “vaccinated” recipient’s body, including to the brain. The mechanisms of these “vaccines” negatively effect the brain, both in physical ways (for example, suffering a stroke after “vaccination”), and in emotional/psychological ways (for example, sudden onset of psychosis after “vaccination.”)
Today, Yours Truly will posit that there is yet another way in which the entire situation of COVID-19 and its “vaccines” have been used, and continue to be used, in this case, to influence behavior: by the utilization of gaslighting. According to Psychology Today, “Gaslighting is an insidious form of manipulation and psychological control. Victims of gaslighting are deliberately and systematically fed false information…Over time, a gaslighter’s manipulations can grow more complex and potent, making it increasingly difficult for the victim to see the truth.” Gaslighting is about a person or entity gaining as-near-total control as possible over another person, to the point where the victim can begin to wonder if he/she is losing their mind; and/or, begins to give up and does what they are told. The process requires, first, that the victim has trust in the gaslighter; from there, various techniques are employed by the gaslighter, including constant lying and then denying the lies, to gradually undermine the self-confidence of the victim until control is achieved. The term comes from the 1938 play, “Gas Light“, which became the 1944 film, “Gaslight.” In the film, Charles Boyer plays the gaslighter, and Ingrid Bergman plays his wife who he is attempting to drive insane in order to steal her inheritance.
How does gaslighting apply to the era of COVID-19? It is now clear that the CDC, the FDA, the NIH, the AMA, Big Pharma, and the mainstream media in the United States—entities that formerly were held to be trustworthy by the American public—have lied constantly regarding numerous aspects of the COVID-19 virus and of the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines”: about the “benefits” of masking and social distancing; about the “safety and efficacy” of the “vaccines”; about the actual data from Pfizer-BioNTech and from Moderna regarding the real dangers of their COVID-19 “vaccines”; about the “safety” of using remdesivir (Veklury) to treat a COVID-19 infection; and about many other aspects. In addition, the government-driven “mandates” regarding the closing of schools and businesses; the “15 days to slow the spread”; the “requirements” for “vaccination” against COVID-19 in order to work or to go to school; the “regulations” by hospitals, health clinics, sports teams, and other entities, that employees, healthcare professionals, and athletes be “vaccinated” in order to keep their jobs or to play—all of these are well-orchestrated psychological techniques used to, first, gain “trust” (“follow the science”); then, to manipulate and coerce people into getting “vaccinated”; then, to minimize and/or to lie outright about the serious and deadly adverse effects of the COVID-19 “vaccines”, stating that these are “rare instances” and that “the benefits outweigh the risks”; then, to accuse anyone who questions what is going on as “spreading misinformation.” The result, unfortunately, is that, apparently, many people have given up using their own judgement and simply do what they are told (getting the latest COVID-19 “Bivalent Vaccine” injections, going back to masking, and so forth)—in other words, they are under the control of the gaslighting entities, who can then push them even farther.
Gaslighting loses its power when the victim realizes what is really going on, says, “No!”, then follows through on that. Sometimes, the following through is the victim calling the police; sometimes, the victim leaves the situation and doesn’t go back. The victim may need help to regain his/her self-confidence and to trust in their ability to make their own decisions.
It is the opinion of Yours Truly that in regard to gaslighting in the era of COVID-19, the time has come for people to realize what is really going on, to say, “No!”, then follow through on that.

Word of The Week:
Brix
unit of measurement
Degrees Brix (symbol °Bx) is a measure of the dissolved solids in a liquid, and is commonly used to measure dissolved sugar content of an aqueous solution. One degree Brix is 1 gram of sucrose in 100 grams of solution and represents the strength of the solution as percentage by mass. If the solution contains dissolved solids other than pure sucrose, then the °Bx only approximates the dissolved solid content. For example, when one adds equal amounts of salt and sugar to equal amounts of water, the degrees of refraction (BRIX) of the salt solution rises faster than the sugar solution. The °Bx is traditionally used in the wine, sugar, carbonated beverage, fruit juice, fresh produce, maple syrup and honey industries. The °Bx is also used for measuring the concentration of a cutting fluid mixed in water for metalworking processes.

And now for some useful scoop from the front lines.
TL;DR – Ohio has a sneaky “children’s sexual rights amendment” on the ballot.
In the course of our political work, I’ve come into contact with an interesting assortment of people representing a wide variety of political interests. There is often some “adjacency” and “intersectionality” as the other side loves to say, and in particular we run into specific candidates, issues or causes which matter to our group.
You may or may not have been following the August “Issue 1” vote in Ohio, which was designed to make it harder to amend the Ohio constitution – meaning a 60% vote for passage of amendments instead of just 50%. The proposal had other features that weakened it, but the main factor leading to its defeat was the fact that the Ohio Dems had an abortion amendment coming in November, and that amendment was unlikely to get 60%+ support. The Demmunists got out the vote to defeat fundamental improvement of the Ohio constitution, using abortion. It worked like crazy.
The new abortion amendment is likely to pass in November, ironically as “Issue 1”, but worried Dem operatives have confided that the proposal has two weaknesses which give them a bad feeling. Some have even called these two problems “poison pills” in the amendment.
One is that the amendment leaves open the option for abortion due to “mental health of the mother” until birth, despite otherwise making abortion restrictable once the baby is viable (which is not well-defined). Pro-life forces can usually get voters out to the polls on this.
The other weakness is that the amendment implicitly removes parental rights regarding one’s own children, because the “reproductive rights” are granted to “individuals”, not adults. The term “individuals” is designed to include teens, and even logically includes younger children. So the right-to-life people are focused on the problem of abortion without the consent of the parents. This is also something that can bring pro-life voters to the polls.
But THESE are not the worst aspects of the bill.
The part of the amendment which grants this right to all individuals, which necessarily includes children of unspecified age, covers not just abortion, but anything of a reproductive nature. The amendment uses specific language to say that it is not limited to the examples listed, which include abortion and fertility, but which curiously do not include sex change or “gender affirming care” – and yet these things and more would clearly be covered as reproductive.
In other words, this amendment is a sneaky way to take away all parental rights regarding sex change of children – or indeed, anything else touching on reproduction.
I repeat – this amendment allows children to submit themselves to “gender change”, and takes away all parental rights to oppose it.
The amendment MAY even take away parental rights regarding sex education, or anything where the “individual” has “reproductive rights”.
Do you see what they’re doing here?
The amendment uses tricky lawfare wording to distract and deceive voters, implying that it is mainly about abortion, when it is dangerously relevant to transgender issues.
An overt sexual rights amendment for children could never pass, but an abortion amendment might.
It’s very interesting to note that Ballotpediavery deceptively HIDES the sneaky “not limited to” wording of the amendment in their description of it, except when they are forced to quote the amendment verbatim.
Et tu, Ballotpedia?
The Dems are getting ahead of the storm on the REAL sneakiness by making sure the controversy is all about Republicans changing the term “fetus” to “unborn child” on the text of the ballot issue, which generally clarifies the abortion part without changing the meaning in any significant way, in my opinion. Thankfully, the Republicans did NOT try to conceal the “not limited to” part, so we can still make that case without contradiction.
Very typical Dem behavior – distract to a smaller, winnable controversy. And, of course, the leftist media is helping. And very typical RINO idiot behavior, following the left’s laser pointer focus on minor stupidity instead of WINNING on the fact that this is exactly what the Democrats call it: Ohio Issue 1, Right to Make Reproductive Decisions Including Abortion Initiative. The trick is, this amendment should really be called Ohio Issue 1, Children’s Right to Make Reproductive Decisions Including But Not Limited To Abortion, Sex Education, Gender Reassignment, and Sex with Adults Initiative.
Are you seeing how bad this is, and how stupid the Republicans are?
They should be printing up yard signs in big bold letters:
SAY NO TO CHILDREN’S SEXUAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT
This bill for an amendment, if it passes, will destroy public education in Ohio. [Admittedly, some conservatives are actually rubbing their hands in glee at this possibility!] Teacher’s unions will be utterly free to “trans your kids” and even more, under the color of an “individual’s reproductive rights”. Whether the bill destroys education completely depends on whether private schooling can lock out transgender ideologues from their teaching staff. Nobody can trust left-wing teachers once this passes.
So watch out for this CHILDREN’S SEXUAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT – which is definitely a DEMS CAN TRANS YOUR KIDS AMENDMENT – and see if the national conservative media catches on to its insidious nature RE spreading the trans agenda to red states using abortion. If they don’t, Ohio will join Michigan and California as a “fleeing resident” state starting next year.
Note how the “pro-choice” side and the old feminists (including TERFs) were THROWN UNDER THE BUS by the Pritzker transgender males to get their much bigger agenda into law. “You want to protect abortion, ladies? Here, try this amendment!” The Pritzkeroids don’t care if people catch on and abortion is defeated, because their number one fundraising issue is still preserved if they lose. A simple 12-week bill (Robert Kennedy Jr. gets this) would PASS and WIN in Ohio, satisfying everybody on their bottom lines, but NO, we can’t have THAT!
Does the amendment do anything to protect pedophiles and sexual consent by minors? With the lunatic leftists on the Ohio Supreme Court, I am certain that it does. These goofballs actually decided that bail increases based on danger of the accused individual to the public were illegal, until an amendment to allow higher bails for dangerous criminals was passed over Demmunist objections.
Remember – THIS BILL ENSHRINES REPRODUCTIVE/SEXUAL RIGHTS FOR MINORS.
The left always goes too far. The trick is catching them early.
And here I thought this was an exciting election already!

We’re not even out of summer and it’s basically 10 weeks until the election. Not sure I can keep up this pace all the way to the end – and this is an OFF-YEAR election! How do these people do it? I cannot keep up with them.
I’m learning so much I never knew. But they created millions of “new baby Trumps” when they went after Trump, and I’m one of them. They created people who decided that the only way to fight these commies is to get out in real life and ENGAGE.
And we WILL. The political response that you FEEL as they go after Trump is coming back at them from 1000 directions, and WE are one of them.
