I remember when Trump nominated him, people said he was a “straight shooter.” Yeah, no. He was and is an elitist swamp rat who never stood up for a single thing that mattered when he was Trump’s Attorney General. “He likes his money. He likes the swamp. And he likes cheeseburgers. … He’s just a plus-sized version of James Comey.”

CANADA: Welcome to the New World Order where truth is fungible and morality is whatever advances the Left’s political agenda.

Case in point: When talking about Canadians who peacefully protest his harmful policies, he called them white supremacists and members of a fringe minority with unacceptable views. He said they just take up space and questioned if we should tolerate them.

DELTA: CLICK https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1501817700619673602 [2:20] to see a Delta employee demand a passenger reverse his “F*** Biden” hoodie. When he took off his mask to comply, she had him evicted from the airplane for not wearing a mask! It turns out she was totally lying when she said the company had a policy against the slogan on his shirt. It doesn’t have any clothing policies beyond the mask thing. I wonder if she would’ve had a problem if the shirt had said “F*** Trump.”

ELECTRIC VEHICLES: The Left’s facile “solution” to high gas prices is “just buy electric cars” totally ignores a whole range of economic and environmental issues. Just one of these is the availability and cost of lithium, which is an essential component in EV batteries.

For example, claiming that EVs are supposed more “green” ignores the fact that the world’s limited supply of lithium is buried deep in the earth’s core, where it is difficult to mine. In fact, lithium mining is similar to coal mining, oil drilling, and fracking, all of which the enviro-left consider unacceptable.

In addition, while the price of lithium is currently fairly low, if demand increases, we can expect that to change, possibly by a whole heckuva lot. When the price of lithium goes up, so will the cost of manufacturing lithium-ion batteries and subsequently the purchase price of the vehicles that use them.

GAS PRICES: FAUXTUS refers to the high prices at the pump as “Putin’s price hike.” Ron DeSantis has a more accurate name: “Bidenflation.”

LOCKDOWNS: A new CDC report highlights the high cost kids paid to keep them “safe” from a virus that poses little risk to them. Pediatric emergency room visits due to mental health conditions skyrocketed during the pandemic. From March 2020 to October 2020, pediatric ER visits for mental health conditions increased 24% among kids ages 5 to 11 and 31% among adolescents ages 12 to 17. Among adolescent females, the number of ER visits for eating disorders doubled.

Even worse, the lockdowns didn’t work. Two new studies conclude that they “had little to no effect on Covid-19 mortality” and “should be rejected as a pandemic policy instrument.”

MASKS: A retrospective study of school children in Catalonia, Spain, from Sept. 13, 2021, to Dec. 22, 2021, showed that kids who were not required to mask had a lower incidence of COVID-19 than did those who were required to mask.

NEW YORK: I must’ve missed the memo about how my sucky state legalized recreational marijuana use. But one of my alert readers tipped me off to the Dems’ super duper plan to give cannabis retail license priority to those who have been disproportionately impacted by the enforcement of marijuana prohibition, which includes individuals convicted of a marijuana offense before its legalization on March 31, 2021, and the relatives of convicted individuals (parents, guardians, children, spouses and dependents).

The Aedes aegypti, whichcarries diseases like dengue fever, yellow fever, and the Zika virus, was first detected in the U.S. in 2013 and has been spreading ever since. The modified mosquitoes are males carrying a gene that is lethal to offspring. It will be great if this works, because chemical pest control harms the pollinators we really need.

TRANS: Gender activists are deeply anti-woman.

UKRAINE: [4:37] – Major Archbishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church talks about the impact of the war on civilians, thanks those taking in refugees and sending humanitarian aid, and says people have told him they have seen “luminous angels” over the country. He believes Kyiv’s patron, St. Michael the Archangel, as well as the the whole Heavenly Host, fight alongside the Ukrainians.

COVID and Chiropractic Care

This article by Robert Curry is reproduced in full here, without apology to American Thinker, which has removed at least two important articles I’m aware of … and I’m not even a regular reader!

If you have been troubled by the rapidly declining claims for the efficacy of the COVID vaccines and boosters or by the rapidly rising reports of problems with the vaccines and the boosters, you might be interested to know how it came about that COVID did not panic chiropractors.  It’s a fascinating story, and I was privileged to learn it firsthand.

I enrolled in chiropractic college just in time to get a powerful lesson in one chapter of that amazing story.  A contingent of students who had completely recovered from childhood polio under chiropractic care enrolled around the same time I did.  They were in my class and in classes before and after my class.  To hear their stories of what chiropractic adjustments had done for them became part of my chiropractic education.  They helped me in another way, too: their conviction about the power of chiropractic adjustments helped me make the transition from a student to a doctor capable of meeting the enormous challenges of chiropractic practice.  They were inspired and determined to be great chiropractors, and they inspired me, too.

The old-timers, just then passing out of the profession, had similar tales about an earlier epidemic.  Chiropractic, officially born in 1895, was still very new, and there were few chiropractors when the Spanish Flu hit in 1918.  But chiropractic adjustments worked for victims of the Spanish Flu just as they were later to do for polio victims.  Medicine had little to offer, so people tried chiropractic, and those who did spread the word.

This is when political medicine discovered chiropractic and set out to strangle it in the crib.  You have not read about chiropractic and polio, and you won’t read about chiropractic and the Spanish Flu elsewhere, either, but I learned about it, as we say, from the horse’s mouth.  I met senior chiropractors who had gone to jail for practicing chiropractic, men whose sacrifices paved the way for the much easier path my classmates and I were to travel.  All of those heroic pioneers I met were inspired by their personal knowledge of the complete recovery of victims of the Spanish Flu who were fortunate enough to be treated by chiropractors.

Chiropractic did not then and does not today have a treatment for the Spanish Flu or for polio.  Chiropractic does not treat conditions.  The aim of chiropractic is always the same — restoring the patient to health by means of chiropractic adjustments.  The purpose of chiropractic adjustments is to enable the patient’s natural healing response.   

In my first year in practice, one of my patients showed up for his appointment in terrible anguish.  He had just been told that his girlfriend had only hours to live.  She was in a coma and in intensive care at the nearby hospital.  I was listening to his outpouring of grief when he suddenly asked me if I thought I could help.

Later that day, an ambulance pulled up in front of my office.  The young woman was brought into the office on a gurney.  She was still in a coma.  The ambulance attendants placed her on an adjusting table, her mother took a chair next to her in the treatment room, and my associate and I took turns adjusting her in between adjusting our regularly scheduled patients.  We each adjusted her several times in the course of the day.  The astonishing sight of a girl in a coma arriving in an ambulance was passed down by word of mouth in the reception room, so all the patients that afternoon knew the story.

When, toward the end of the day, she walked out of the treatment room, the waiting patients leaped to their feet, cheering and applauding.  The next day, she came for a normal appointment, driven by her mother; the following day, she came on her own.

This was a great learning experience for me — it taught me a deep lesson in what we chiropractors refer to as chiropractic courage — but my greatest leap in understanding chiropractic happened when I was only a student.  A profoundly accomplished doctor had generously invited me to “assist” him in his practice.  I took patient histories, recorded exam findings, and made treatment records.  Early on, I took the history of a terribly ill young woman who had recently been told by doctors at the Mayo Clinic that there was nothing that could be done for her, that she should get her affairs in order and prepare for the end of her life.  She had originally set out on her path to many doctors and eventually the Mayo Clinic because of two hideous lesions, one in her upper arm and one in her buttock on the opposite side. 

She was a blessing to me.  I had been taught that chiropractors treat patients, not conditions, but I did not understand what that meant, not really.  She taught me to understand what I had been taught. 

After a period of care, I again took her history in preparation for her re-exam.  The lesions were gone, replaced by a smooth, normal contour and new, pink skin — but that was not what struck me, and that was not what was important.  Instead of the shockingly ill person I had first met, I was interviewing an attractive young woman with a vivacious personality.  Chiropractic care had restored her to health.  I understood then that her health, not the terrible lesions, had been the focus of her care all along.

Ask a chiropractor if he treats diabetes, and the doctor will no doubt tell you no.  How about ulcers?  No.  Asthma?  No again.  What then do you treat, doctor?  I treat patients — patients with diabetes, patients with ulcers, patients with asthma.  But whether the patient’s problem is great or small, the goal of the chiropractor is always the same: health restored, and restored by the perfectly natural method of chiropractic adjustments, without recourse to drugs or surgery. 

And by the way, that method is American through and through.  It was discovered and developed right here in America.

AUSTRALIA: They’re rushing into the End Times down under, hoping to become a cashless society by 2031 or even sooner.

CANADA: The Canadian Bankers Association says that the Freedom Convoy supporters whose bank accounts were frozen will be flagged for life.

Tamara Lich, one of the main leaders behind the Freedom Convoy, has been released on bail, but one of the conditions is that she not speak out against the Canadian government’s COVID rules, not use social media, not attend any COVID protests, and have no contact with the co-accused. Her movements and devices are all being monitored. She planned a peaceful protest, not a bombing!

FAUXTUS: On Tuesday, the Worst President in U.S. History went to Fort Worth, Texas. Listen to how he introduced these three guys. CLICK https://twitter.com/townhallcom/status/1501323525763653643 [:08]. My favorite tweet: “Thank you for playing today’s game of ‘What if Trump said it?’”

Also on Tuesday, The Wall Street Journal reported that FAUXTUS’ efforts to beg oil off Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates failed miserably. In fact, the Saudi Crown Prince and the U.A.E’s Sheikh wouldn’t take even his calls. Both have been vocal recently in their criticism of his policies.

They say their efforts to destroy our domestic fossil fuel industries are about protecting the planet from climate change. But the fact that they’re willing to buy these products not just from other nations, but from other nations that hate us exposes their lie. It’s ALL about destroying the United States, so they won’t have to deal with our pesky selves when they try to take over the world.

MARYLAND: The Maryland Senate is considering the “Pregnant Person’s Freedom Act of 2022” that would prohibit investigations and criminal prosecutions for women and medical professionals for a “failure to act” in relation to a “perinatal death.” Since a 2020 law defines “perinatal care” as the “provision of care during pregnancy, labor, delivery, and postpartum and neonatal periods,” this bill could mean that during the first four weeks of their lives, human babies would have no legal protection from abuse or neglect … something Maryland law guarantees to newborn baby animals.

AMERICANO: Americano, the first Spanish-language conservative network on satellite radio, just launched. Democrats and corporate media immediately expressed concern about the station spreading “misinformation” among voters. But Ivan Garcia-Hidalgo, the founder of the new network, said that the Left is just afraid. “They’re scared. And they should be. Democrats took Hispanics for granted for too long, and no one thought to create a home for us in conservative media. There is an appetite for this.”

CALIFORNICATION: Three San Diego pre-schools were raided simultaneously by regulators who isolated and interviewed children aged one to four about mask wearing. Parents are understandably furious, especially given that the owners of the three schools had always been open about their no-mask policy.

They figured the kids would not be allowed to wear masks while they were sleeping or eating, so would give each other COVID-19 no matter what. Add on that masks are bad for the development of such young children and they decided there would be no masks in their school.

After 19 months of having no-masks without an incident, the school was forced to mask to avoid being shut down. Thankfully the mask policy expires on March 11.

CANADA: Tamara Lich, one of the key organizers of the Freedom Convoy, has been granted bail by an Ontario court. When she was arrested on Feb. 22, a judge said she was too much of a risk to public safety to be allowed to roam the streets. Her lawyer filed a bail review and the new judge granted bail. He said the first judge had been too subjective.

ENERGY: Biden’s Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said we could avoid high gas prices if we would drive electric vehicles. Elitist Mayor Pete, whose income is in the high six and low seven figures, is just a titch out of touch with reality.

To start with, there’s the gigantic difference in the average cost of buying and maintaining the two types of vehicles. A recent article at motorists.org (linked below) found that, over the six year average time drivers keep a new vehicle, electric vehicles cost ~$71,770, while gas vehicles cost ~$58,664.

In general, the cost per mile is lower for electric cars. However, this savings has to be offset against the enormous handicap of $2,000/year that electric vehicles carry, plus the significant inconvenience that charging brings with it. For example, it takes minutes to fill up a tank of gas, while it takes hours to recharge a battery. In addition, gas stations are plentiful, while EV charging stations are not.

The U.S. News article breaks down how to calculate the cost of fueling an electric car. It’s not as simple as it is for a gas car.

FAUXTUS: [7:21] – Biden et al. are claiming it’s the oil and gas industry that is keeping us from producing enough oil for our needs. The video explains the lie behind this statement.

KINDNESS: And another kindness story … “About ten years ago, I was on a walk with the family and stopped by a neighbor’s yard sale. “What is about that?” I pointed to a boom box under the table. “Oh it’s broken they said. It’s yours, free.” I took it home, and found the bad transformer that I happened to have a replacement for. Fixed, no one in the house wanted it. A couple days later at dinner, I said “I am taking it back.” After dinner, I tucked it under my arm and walked to the grey house down the street. I rang the bell. I could hear a commotion inside. Nothing. So I knocked on the door, and it opened. Inside, kids were shouting and jumping around. “Sorry, the woman explained – It’s my son’s 8th birthday.” I held out the stereo. “You gave me this last weekend,” I said, “And I fixed it and want to return it to you.” Her eyes opened wide. “It was my son’s and he missed it terribly. Thank you!” Few fixes have carried the essence of that moment like that one.” – Bruce Baker

LEFT vs. RIGHT: They used to say, “There’s not a dime’s worth of difference between the two parties.” This is no longer true. Quinnipiac polled American voters to find out what we’d do if we were in Ukraine’s position. Stay and fight: Dems 40% vs. GOP 68%. Flee the country: Dems 52% vs. GOP 25%.

MEDIA MALPRACTICE: Dems and their jerknalist lapdogs lie about Florida’s “Parental Rights in Education” bill, because they can’t stand that it would ban teachers or school admin (or any adult) from talking about sexual identity with 4-8-year-olds.

The NPR report is particularly egregious. Not only does the headline call it the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, but in the text of the article, it refers to “the so-called Parental Rights in Education” bill. Wait, wut? “Parental Rights in Education” is literally the bill’s official title!

Ten Years Since Trayvon Died

The awesome Jack Cashill posted the following on American Thinker. I’m reproducing it here, because I want all y’all to read it.

“Why the Washington Post Cannot ‘Correct’ Its Trayvon Tribute”

On February 26, the Washington Post commemorated the ten-year anniversary of Trayvon Martin’s death with a loving and outrageously dishonest video tribute to the fallen 17-year-old. Even more troubling, columnist Charles Blow enlisted former president Barack Obama in this mendacious rewrite of recent history. On Friday morning, March 4, I sent an email to “corrections.” I sent the same email to managing editor Sally Buzbee and several other relevant editors. What follows is what I wrote:

—————–

Before listing the problems, let me establish my credentials to comment. I attended George Zimmerman’s trial and wrote a book on the subject: If I Had a Son: Race, Guns, and the Railroading of George Zimmerman. I have since gotten to know George and his family well. In 2019, I edited Joel Gilbert’s brilliantly researched book (and film), The Trayvon Hoax. I have a Ph.D. in American studies from Purdue.

Now for the problems:

Charles Blow tells us, “The contemporary civil rights movement unfolded directly in response to the murder of Trayvon Martin.” George Zimmerman was rightfully acquitted of murder. To launch a civil rights movement on a lie is a bad way to start one.

Barack Obama expressed his outrage at “the idea that this teenager who was walking down the street could be considered so threatening that a private citizen could initiate a confrontation resulting in that teenager’s death.”

Well, Trayvon wasn’t walking down the street. He was lurking in the shadows on a rainy night in a housing development plagued with break-ins and home invasions by young black men, and Zimmerman did not initiate the confrontation.

In the Post video, we hear George Zimmerman’s edited call to the dispatcher. What follows is the actual exchange:

GZ: Hey, we’ve had some break-ins in my neighborhood and there’s a real suspicious guy, uh [near] Retreat View Circle. The best address I can give you is 111 Retreat View Circle. This guy looks like he’s up to no good or he’s on drugs or something. It’s raining and he’s just walking around, looking about.

SPD: Okay, and this guy, is he White, Black, or Hispanic?

GZ: He looks black.

Here is how the Post edited this exchange:

GZ: Hey, we’ve had some break-ins in my neighborhood and there’s a real suspicious guy. This guy looks like he’s up to no good or he’s on drugs or something. He looks black.

The Post edited the call to make GZ look like a racist profiler. This was the first of two deceptive edits. When the dispatcher asked Zimmerman which way Trayvon was running, Zimmerman left the car “to maintain a visual.” Upon hearing the wind in the phone, the dispatcher asked:

SPD: Are you following him?

GZ: Yeah.

SPD: Okay. We don’t need you to do that.

GZ: Okay.

The Post edited out Zimmerman’s “okay,” all the better to preserve the fiction that GZ was stalking Trayvon. In fact, GZ stopped following Trayvon and looked for an address where he could meet the police who were on their way.

Writes Blow, “Martin was just 17 years old, a boy, and he was where he was supposed to be. He was unarmed. He was carrying Skittles and a can of iced tea.”

No, Trayvon was not where he was supposed to be. He had been exiled to the townhome of his father’s new girlfriend in Sanford, Florida, after being suspended from school for the third time that school year and kicked out of his mother’s home. Having been caught with stolen jewelry and burglary tools, Trayvon avoided arrest under the same misguided policy that allowed Nikolas Cruz free to kill 17 of his Parkland high school classmates a few years later.

Zimmerman was right about Trayvon. He was high, and he was up to no good. He had gone to the 7-11 not on some innocent mission, but to buy some “blunts” and the makings — Skittles, watermelon cooler — of a drug concoction called “purple lean.”

This unarmed “boy” was an aspiring mixed martial artist nearly a half a foot taller than Zimmerman. Yet, in violation of all journalism standards, the Post only showed pictures of Trayvon as a little boy.

Trayvon had four minutes to run 100 yards to the townhome where he was staying. Instead, he circled back to the spot where Zimmerman was waiting for the police and sucker punched him. The only eyewitness, Jonathan Good, told the jury that he saw a “black man in a black hoodie on top of either a white guy… or an Hispanic guy in a red sweater on the ground yelling out help.” According to Good, the black man on top was “throwing down blows on the guy MMA style.” Trayvon pounded Zimmerman’s head for more than 40 seconds. A 911 call picked up Zimmerman’s screams. Losing consciousness, Zimmerman finally pulled out his pistol and shot Trayvon in the chest. The evidence for this scenario was irrefutable.

To compare Trayvon Martin to Emmett Till is disgraceful.

The case should never have come to trial. With the mob pressing hard, state authorities arrested Zimmerman only after attorney Benjamin Crump manufactured a “phone witness,” a grossly overweight and mentally challenged 19-year-old who claimed to be Trayvon’s “puppy love.” Gilbert found the real 16-year-old girlfriend. I would recommend Blow watch The Trayvon Hoax.

Zimmerman did not face not an “all-white” jury as the Post video claimed. One of the six jurors was an Afro-Puerto Rican. They acquitted Zimmerman because they heard and saw the evidence.

Although the Post chose not to share this info, Zimmerman was a Hispanic civil rights activist, the active mentor of two Black teens, and an Obama supporter.

I have never seen a more consequential story so grossly misreported. The Post has an opportunity here to tell the truth about what happened. That will take some courage. The easy way out is to let democracy die in darkness.

Happy to help or, if need be, shout out about this defamatory nonsense from the rooftops. I am not going to let this level of media malpractice pass.

I would prefer option A. Thanks for hearing me out.

——————-

Four days after sending this email, I have not heard a word in reply, not even a “Thank you. We are looking into your concerns.” Blow and his colleagues were right about one thing. The Trayvon Martin case did launch a new phase in the civil rights movement. They even got Obama to lend his imprimatur, the former president calling the furor over Trayvon’s acquittal, “a galvanizing force in helping to create a broader based movement now known as Black Lives Matter.”

For the Post editors to “correct” this story would be to undermine their own credibility, the legitimacy of Black Lives Matter, and Barack Obama’s place in history. I almost pity them. In their world, they have no choice but to dishonor their profession and let democracy die in darkness.

POLAND: About 1 million Ukrainians have crossed into Poland to escape the war and the response of ordinary Polish people has been astounding. A recent survey found that more than 90% of Poles support admitting them, with 65% saying they are willing to help them personally.

Russia says that any country that tries to impose a no-fly zone over Ukraine or offers the use of its airfields to Ukraine’s military for attacks on Russian assets could be considered as having entered the conflict.

Visa has announced that cards issued outside of Russia will no longer work inside of Russia.

Mastercard has announced that cards issued by Russian banks will no longer be supported and that cards issued outside of russia will no longer work at Russian merchants or ATMs.

TikTok has announced it will suspend uploads from Russia.

VAXXX: Click the link to see data showing that the ‘rona jabs damage the immune system. Some time ago, I published evidence of this in the form of a video by a doctor who had run immune panels on a healthy patient before and after he got the jab. The damage in the after tests was profound.

NYC: With the record low numbers of ‘rona infections, the city is abandoning its vaxxx passport and indoor mask requirements for public schools, K-12, but not for pre-K!

SHRILLARY: When she lost to The Donald, foreign donations mysteriously dried up and there was a wave of layoffs at the Clinton Global Initiative. They say they’re gearing up again, which makes me kinda think that 2024 could turn into 2016 Part Two.

SOROS: Nazi George and the elitist billionaire who founded LinkedIn are funding a new company which will by run a former Democratic strategist who is best known for battling Donald Trump. Their goal is to “fight the crisis in disinformation plaguing the media,” by which they clearly mean, “stifle right-wing speech.”

STRATEGIC PETROLEUM RESERVE (SPR): In 1975, after oil supplies were interrupted during the 1973-1974 oil embargo, the United States began stockpiling the stuff to mitigate future supply disruptions. It’s total capacity is 714 million barrels.

In 2011, Obama withdrew 30 million barrels to offset disruptions caused by Arab Spring. (I think that means he did it to reduce the prices at the pump.)

In 2020, when oil prices were at rock bottom, Trump replaced what Obama took out for a politically beneficial and non-emergency use, something he said Obama never got around to doing.

In 2021, Biden withdrew 50 million barrels to reduce prices at the pump. He just announced he’s going to release another 30 million barrels … for the same political, non-emergency purpose.

In addition, since 2017, Congress has been selling the oil in the reserve to fund the deficit. The DOE has had seven, unpublicized sales amounting to more than 60 million barrels. According to legislation already in place, the amount of oil in the reserve could fall to as little as 410 million barrels by 2028.

VAXXX: CLICK https://rumble.com/vwhcvw-real-america-dan-ball-w-dr.-robert-malone-pfizer-file-dump-on-vax-adverse-e.html [12:24] to hear Get Real Dan interview Dr. Robert Malone about the recent, court-ordered, 55,000-page data dump from the documents Pfizer gave the FDA in support of their COVID-19 gene therapy agent.

The list of 1,291 different adverse events following vaccination includes acute kidney injury, acute flaccid myelitis, anti-sperm antibody positive, brain stem embolism, brain stem thrombosis, cardiac arrest, cardiac failure, cardiac ventricular thrombosis, cardiogenic shock, central nervous system vasculitis, death neonatal, deep vein thrombosis, encephalitis brain stem, encephalitis hemorrhagic, frontal lobe epilepsy, foaming at mouth, epileptic psychosis, facial paralysis, fetal distress syndrome, gastrointestinal amyloidosis, generalized tonic-clonic seizure, Hashimoto’s encephalopathy, hepatic vascular thrombosis, herpes zoster reactivation, immune-mediated hepatitis, interstitial lung disease, jugular vein embolism, juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, liver injury, low birth weight, multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children, myocarditis, neonatal seizure, pancreatitis, pneumonia, stillbirth, tachycardia, temporal lobe epilepsy, testicular autoimmunity, thrombotic cerebral infarction, Type 1 diabetes mellitus, venous thrombosis neonatal, and vertebral artery thrombosis … plus 1,246 other medical conditions.

The U.S. government has already purchased 50 million doses of the Pfizer vaccine intended for children under five years of age to be delivered by April 30, 2022. This, despite the FACTS that one, the FDA has yet to grant even an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for this age group, two, the risk of serious injury or death from COVID to healthy children is practically nil, and three, the pediatric dose has very limited effectiveness.

Last fall, Stefan Oelrich, a member of the Board of Management of Bayer and head of the Pharmaceuticals Division, gave a speech at the World Health Summit focused on biotechnological innovation. He said, “If we had surveyed two years ago in the public—‘would you be willing to take gene or cell therapy and inject it into your body?’—we probably would have had a 95 percent refusal rate,” he added.

LENTEN MEDITATION: “Prayer is not something that we do merely to placate our own feelings. Prayer is not good vibes or happy thoughts. Prayer is electrifying through the cosmos in the spiritual realm, and terrifying to the demons. And if you find yourself doubting that, doubting that prayer at a time like this actually makes a difference, keep in mind that if the evil acts of those half a world away are bringing darkness to your soul – anger, frustration, grief, worry, doubt – if they can have that effect on you, half a world away, you can have that effect on them, half a world away, by your prayers in the name of Christ our Lord.” – Fr.

COVID-19: Pfizer and Merck will reap billions from FAUXTUS’ taxpayer-funded plan to prescribe and treat the ‘rona with drugs to which the FDA has given only Emergency Use Authorization. Even worse, patients will be able to get these drugs without consulting a physician. IOW, there will be no one to advise individuals about the risks these largely unproven drugs pose to them personally.

In other news, Florida has become the first state to legalize the off-label use of drugs like ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine for early treatment. Also, CLICK https://rumble.com/vwcr7z-gov.-desantis-releases-new-ad-mocking-mask-hypocrites.html [1:11] to enjoy DeSantis’ latest political ad.

In a survey of abortion doctors conducted by Mark Crutcher of Life Dynamics:

  • 69% said they aren’t respected in the medical community

Democrats Suck

CHICAGO: After Mayor Lightfoot ordered a statue of Christopher Columbus be removed from Arrigo Park, the Joint Civic Committee of Italian Americans sought to get it returned. When the park district made a deal with the group to allow the statue to be displayed at the Columbus Day parade, Lightfoot canceled it.

The night after the parade, Lightfoot met on a video conference call with two park district attorneys – George Smyrniotis and Timothy King. According to a recently filed lawsuit, Lightfoot berated both of the attorneys and made derogatory remarks about Ron Onesti, president of the Joint Civic Committee of Italian Americans.

The lawsuit quotes Lightfoot saying, “You d–ks, what the f–k were you thinking?” She then went on to accuse King and Smyrniotis of making “some kind of secret agreement with Italians, what you are doing, you are out there measuring your d–ks with the Italians seeing whose got the biggest d–k … I am trying to keep Chicago Police officers from being shot and you are trying to get them shot. My d–k is bigger than yours and the Italians, I have the biggest d–k in Chicago.”

Smyrniotis claims in the lawsuit that Lightfoot went on to defame him, making “rude, insulting, false, and disrespectful statements” that he “lacked an ability to perform his job duties,” asking, among other things: “Where did you go to law school? Did you even go to law school? Do you even have a law license?” He says that, as a result of her comments, he was forced to resign and “suffered lost income, a reduced pension, and … great emotional distress.”

CREEPY UNCLE JOE: Right after signing into a new law designed to help victims of sexual harassment and assault seek justice, Captain Sniff jumped over the greenery to meet Gretchen Carlson’s very attractive teen-aged children. I couldn’t find any photos of how their meeting went.

ENERGY: On March 1, the “American Independence from Russian Energy Act” was shot down in a 221–202 vote, almost entirely along partisan lines. The only cross over was Republican Matt Gaetz.

FAUXTUS’ Energy Secretary confirmed that they’re not interested at all in lowering gas prices. It’s all part of their plan to “transition” us away from fossil fuels.

CLICK the Twitchy link to read Drew Holden’s thread on the ridiculousness of the Left when it comes to energy independence and how absolutely ignorant Biden’s energy policy really is.

FAUXTUS: CLICK https://twitter.com/RNCResearch/status/1499468192326074373 [:26] to hear him say Ukrainians are hiding in subways from missiles being fired “indiscriminately into Russian cities.” During his SOTU address, he referred to Ukrainians as “Iranians.”

ILLINOIS: Yet another top state Dem may end up in the Big House. Former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan, once the second most powerful man in the state government, has been indicted by a grand jury. The Chicago Sun Times says, “The 106-page indictment appears to be the culmination of an aggressive, yearslong federal assault not just on old-school Chicago politics, but on some of Illinois’ most well-known political dynasties.”

MASKS: CLICK https://twitter.com/GovKathyHochul/status/1499415332821295122 [:30] to hear an absolutely stunning display of libtard hypocrisy from my idiotic governor. She was obviously trying to dunk of Ron DeSantis telling a group of students to please take off their masks … “but you can keep them on if you want.”

DeSantis’ press secretary, Christina Pushaw, replied to Hochul with a series of tweets: “Kids in NYC were forced to eat lunch outside on the ground in 30 degree weather because they couldn’t take their masks off in school. Is that not bullying, Governor Hochul?”

“Don’t worry, @GovKathyHochul — we will probably treat the forever maskers with more respect than you and your ilk showed toward us for the last 2 years.”

“Do you think Governor DeSantis won’t meet the Florida residency requirement to be re-elected, as long as he lives rent-free in your head?”

Twitchy published some responses from others. My favorite is, “Oh I see. You’re victims now. Where were you when people were denying me entrance to public places? When they were talking about stripping me of access to healthcare and worse? Where were the admonitions then? Wear a mask forever for all I care, but you are no victims.” Also, “You masked toddlers. You are the bully.”

ORWELLIAN: In big, big letters, Politifact labeled “Mostly False” a statement made by Fox’s Maria Bartiromo. Down in the article, it “explains” in less than clear terms that, in fact, what Bartiromo said was true of crude oil imports, while total oil imports from Russia apparently only increased by 28%. Under Trump, we were an energy exporter, but shut up.

SPOKESWEASEL: When asked why FAUXTUS didn’t mention our 13 servicemembers who were killed during the evacuation of Afghanistan, Jen Psaki said he didn’t “have the time.” Not surprising, given that he didn’t have the time to give them the respect and attention their sacrifices deserved while their bodies were being unloaded at Dover.

VFAUXTUS: Kamala got sent out to do damage control after FAUXTUS’ wretched SOTU performance. On “CBS Mornings”, Gayle King asked, “The new CBS poll found 70 percent of Americans disapprove of the Administration’s handling of inflation. What do you say to those people who say that gas prices are just too high, I can’t get peanut butter, everything costs more? What are you going to do?”

CLICK https://twitter.com/RNCResearch/status/1499017011376148488 [:42] to hear her answer, if you can stand listening to her gobbledygook. Basically, she says that the reason we have inflation is that the cost of living has gone up.

On NBC, she was asked if Biden will sanction Russia’s oil and gas industry. I’ll spare you the link to her word salad response, which was, “As it relates to what we need to do domestically as well as what we need to do in terms of this issue generally, we have, as the president said, reevaluated what we’re doing.“

WISCONSIN: CLICK https://twitter.com/realLizUSA/status/1498779382625673227 [:48] to hear the special counsel who investigated the November 2020 election in Wisconsin announce that the nearly $9 million in “election grants” that Facebook’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg forked over violated a Wisconsin election bribery law.

He went on to say that the purpose of his report (linked below) “is not to challenge certification of the Presidential election, though in Appendix II we do sketch how that might be done. Any decisions in that vein must be made by the elected representatives of the people, that is, the Wisconsin Legislature. Yet it is clear that Wisconsin election officials’ unlawful conduct in the 2020 Presidential election casts grave doubt on Wisconsin’s 2020 Presidential election certification.”

You can click one of the articles or read the report to see details of the disgusting way Democrat cheaters abused the elderly in nursing homes where 95% to 100% of residents cast ballots in the presidential election.
