ANTI-CHRIST: [8:13] – Igor Chudov’s rather long post (linked below) gives numerous details of how global stakeholders successfully blocked public protests and manipulated governments into complying with their agenda.

Years ago, some prophet or other claimed to have heard from the Lord that the ‘rona was engineered, but that God had caused it to leak out prematurely to serve His own purposes. I think we’ve seen abundant evidence that this is exactly what happened.

COVID-19: “The hospital is too late to start treatment for acute COVID-19 in patients with left ventricular dysfunction. Palazzuoli et al have published an approach that focuses on optimal heart failure management and early COVID-19 therapy that allows management to be started in the home.” – Peter A. McCullough, M.D., M.P.H.

FAUXTUS: The latest AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll found only 37% of Democrats want Joe to run again and, among the 18-44s, only 23% want it.

FLYNN: Michael Flynn is suing the federal government for $50 million over the Justice Department’s wrongful and malicious criminal prosecution of him in 2017.

GLOBAL WARMING: Park City Mountain Resort, the largest ski resort in the U.S., is enjoying its longest ski season in three decades due to record snowfall and persistent cold. Park City Mountain has recorded 455 inches of snowfall this season, far exceeding the average total; some resorts have already reached 600 inches of snowfall, without an end in sight as of yet.

J6: CLICK https://rumble.com/v2c13x8-tucker-releases-bombshell-jan-6-footage-showing-everything-the-media-and-de.html [6:15] to see Tucker report on a small slice of the surveillance footage the Wrongs suppressed in their headlong and ultimately failed effort to take down Trump. Among the revelations:

  • Jacob Chansley, the so-called QAnon Shaman that the media made the poster child for J6 villainy, was escorted by police the entire time he was inside the Capitol building. He is currently serving 3.5 years in jail for “obstructing an official proceeding.” 
  • Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick was captured on video alive after he was supposedly “murdered.” He was also seen wearing a helmet, making it even more unlikely that he died of a head injury as some falsely reported. His autopsy later showed he died of natural causes.
  • Ray Epps, who is widely suspected to be a federal informant who helped instigate January 6, lied to the January 6 Committee about when he left the Capitol that day.
  • The J6 Kangaroo Court … I mean Committee … “added audio to silent CCTV footage, inserting screams and other crowd mayhem sounds, to make it seem more ominous.”
  • Key clips of the footage are electronically bookmarked, showing that investigators working for the Democratic Party reviewed this tape, saw the evidence, then suppressed it.

CNN reported on this with, “Tucker Carlson, with help from Kevin McCarthy, tries to sanitize the very real violence of Jan. 6 by portraying it as a peaceful protest.” MSNBC’s Joy Reid called it a “serious security risk” to give the tapes to Carlson because he is “pro-Putin … that really is out of Putin’s playbook.” Yet Nancy Pelosi’s filmmaker daughter appears to have been given access to the footage to make a documentary.

The New York Post reported, “Democrats have been running around like decapitated chickens ever since news broke that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has given Tucker Carlson unfettered access to surveillance footage from inside the Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021, riot by supporters of President Donald Trump.”

LIBS of TIKTOK: After LibsofTikTok exposed the above, the school changed the curriculum to remove the unscientific gender crap.

NEW ZEALAND: More evidence that lockdowns don’t work. NZ closed itself off from the world to avoid the ‘rona. It is now suffering the largest increase in the number of registered deaths since the 1918 influenza pandemic. Most of the increase in deaths occurred in older age groups, which ought to make the bean counters and global population wonks happy.

O’KEEFE: CLICK https://rumble.com/v2bpafm-full-speech-james-okeefe-w-special-guest-from-phizer-washington-d.c.-cpac-2.html [13:49] to hear James’ CPAC speech. “It is a kind of spiritual war.” Nah, James. It is absolutely a SPIRITUAL WAR. Stay tuned to see the brave Christian whistle-blower who exposed this guy’s identity. “As a believer, I knew that I couldn’t just sit there and watch people get lied to… get gas lit. … We need to learn to not be fearful. Fear is how the Enemy controls us. … If you guys work for Big Tech, media, government agencies, it is your responsibility to stand up, do not let these people get away with this.”

PARENTING: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/HXmwQzFRvWw and ponder with me how this woman managed to turn out like this. Parental failure? Cultural indoctrination? Sheer laziness? All of the above?

THOUGHT CRIMES: In December 2022, Isabel Vaughan-Spruce was arrested for praying silently outside an abortion clinic in its “buffer zone” where the UK does not allow protests. In February 2023, she was cleared of all charges. On March 6, she was arrested again for praying silently. CLICK https://twitter.com/ADF_UK/status/1632820479131099136 [:46] to see the arrest.

MPs are voting today on whether praying silently should be added to the list of banned activities. Imagine that. They’re so afraid of a lady standing silently on the street because she might be speaking with ALMIGHTY GOD. It’s almost like they believe in the power of prayer and recognize the evil that is abortion! CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/FFsfias1lVI and ask yourself which side you’re on.

VAXXX: “Before COVID-19 myocarditis was rare and always alerted cardiologists to future risks of two outcomes: 1) heart failure, 2) arrythmias (ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation) leading to cardiopulmonary arrest. Buchan and colleagues reported 77 Canadian teenagers age 12-17 who needlessly suffered myopericarditis after the Pfizer mRNA vaccine. Sixty-six percent occurred after dose #2 and only 7% had prior COVID-19, so the vaccine was to blame in the vast majority of cases. Hospitalization occurred in 44% and there were no deaths. These cases occurred in 2020-2021 and there is no mention of follow-up or risk of future cardiac arrest.” – Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH

CABABABARAVE: This UK cabaret company puts on drag shows for babies and their parents during which mostly naked men, some in bondage gear, dance provocatively. Warning: If you CLICK https://twitter.com/Dominiquetaegon/status/1630948003962912768 [:38] and https://twitter.com/MrAndyNgo/status/1631065728303394817 [photos], you will need brain bleach afterwards. I’m just sitting here, wanting to cry, not because pervie men are doing these things, but because MOTHERS DELIBERATELY EXPOSED THEIR BABIES TO THEM!

CRT: This is what you get when you preach hatred and division. The Wrongs don’t want CRT because they think it’ll end racism. They want it because it will make racial violence worse. – On Feb. 10 at an elementary school in Ohio, a group of black boys ganged up on a group of white boys, bullying and punching them until they knelt down and said, “Black Lives Matter.” The surveillance video shows the incident lasted 17 minutes. One of the parents reports a teacher watched the whole thing; you gotta wonder what color her skin is. Police say they are pursuing charges, but the president of the local NAACP thinks the whole thing has been blown out of proportion … maybe because the victims were white?

FBI: Whistle-blowers testified before the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government that the Washington Field Office pressured other field offices to investigate citizens for activities protected by the First Amendment. One instance occurred during a nationwide, 56 FBI field office, conference call.

Steve Jensen, then-chief of the Domestic Terrorism Operations Center Section, asked the Philadelphia Field Office about three individuals the Washington Field Office asked them to investigate. The Philadelphia office replied that they had merely posted on social media about being pro-Second Amendment and anti-abortion, but that it didn’t mean they were “insurrectionists seeking to overturn our democracy.” Jensen responded, “I don’t give a ___; they’re all bleeping terrorists, and we’re going to round them up.” 

In another instance, agents questioned why the Washington Field Office was focusing on pro-lifers in its investigations of threats against pro-life Supreme Court Justices, when the threats were coming from pro-aborts the WFO wanted ignored.

Witnesses also reported being punished for objecting to what they considered to be unlawful orders or for reporting the Washington Field Office’s antics to members of Congress. One agent was suspended for making protected disclosures to Congress. Following the closed-door testimonies, Democratic members of the committee illegally leaked the names of the agents who appeared.

It is beyond disappointing, but sadly not surprising that Democrats would leak cherry-picked excerpts of testimony to attack the brave whistleblowers who risked their careers to speak out on abuses at the Justice Department and FBI. These same Democrats vowed to fight our oversight ‘tooth and nail,’ and they are willing to undermine the work of the Congress to achieve their partisan goals.” – Statement from Committee Chairman Jim Jordan’s (R-Ohio) office

FENTANYL: [6:44] – FAUXTUS actually mocked a bereaved mother who lost two sons to Percocet that had been laced with a lethal amount of Fentanyl. Biden smirked and blamed it on Trump who … uhhh … locked down our southern border AND made a big push to fight the opioid crisis.

Since 2017, fentanyl has been responsible for more than half of all yearly opioid overdose deaths. But since Biden opened the southern border in January 2020, the numbers have risen exponentially with the 2020 total being double the 2019 total. In 2021, the number increased another 25% over the 2020 total.

TUCKER: Dead people not only vote for Democrats, but put them into office. [8:57] – Back in 2009, Dryden Judge Joseph Valentinelli suffered massive heart failure and ended up in a coma. Democrats kept him on the ballot and his family said they wanted him to win, so that if/when he woke up, he’d have something to look forward to. When he woke up after 5 weeks, he found out he had been re-elected, but still was a long way to actually getting back to work. Dryden-ites waiting for court dates just had to suck it up.

VAXXX: Pfizer’s “5.3.6 Cumulative Analysis of Post-authorization Adverse Event Reports” (2d link below) collated reports of COVID-19 jab Adverse Events for the first 90 days following roll-out. I.e., December 1, 2020 through February 28, 2021.

During this period. there was neither authorization nor pediatric dose information for 5-to-12s, much less even younger kids. Yet the report lists 34 Adverse Events for under 12s. Of the 34 cases, 132 Adverse Events were reported. Of these, 24 of the kids’ problems (71%) were classified as serious. And some of the kids were under 5.

Most of the AEs included itching, swelling, fever, fatigue, headache, nausea, site pain, upper abdominal pain, and COVID-19. Others were far more serious, like the seven-year-old who had a stroke, a one-year-old who developed Bell’s Palsy (facial paralysis), and another infant who suffered acute kidney injury.

Pfizer’s summary of the data: “No new significant safety information was identified based on a review of these cases compared with the non-paediatric population.

Catholic Update

On October 13, 1973 (the anniversary of the Miracle of the Sun at Fatima), the Blessed Virgin appeared to Sr. Agnes Sasagawa and gave her the following message:

If men do not repent and better themselves, the Father will inflict a terrible punishment on all humanity. It will be a punishment greater than the deluge, such as one will never seen before. Fire will fall from the sky and will wipe out a great part of humanity, the good as well as the bad, sparing neither priests nor faithful. The survivors will find themselves so desolate that they will envy the dead. The only arms which will remain for you will be the Rosary and the Sign left by My Son. Each day recite the prayers of the Rosary. With the Rosary, pray for the Pope, the bishops and priests.

The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, bishops against bishops. The priests who venerate me will be scorned and opposed by their confreres…churches and altars sacked; the Church will be full of those who accept compromises and the demon will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the Lord. The demon will be especially implacable against souls consecrated to God. The thought of the loss of so many souls is the cause of my sadness. If sins increase in number and gravity, there will be no longer pardon for them.

In January, Cardinal Robert McElroy of San Diego, California, wrote an article for America magazine in which he upended Catholic doctrine about the importance of receiving Holy Eucharist in a state of grace. According to him, people who are actively participating in sexual sin should be invited to receive.

There followed what Raymond Wolfe called, “an explosive backlash from fellow bishops.” Bishop Thomas Paprocki of Springfield, Illinois, went so far as to condemn McElroy’s comments as “heresy” and suggest that he had automatically excommunicated himself. On Thursday, America published another essay by McElroy in which he doubles down on his heresy. McElroy is reputed to be a special favorite of the pontiff.

1A: Mark Lee Dickson, director of Right to Life of East Texas and founder of Sanctuary Cities for the Unborn Initiative, has won a significant First Amendment victory in the Texas Supreme Court. Dickson was sued in two separate lawsuits by pro-aborts for saying abortion is the “murder of innocent unborn human beings.” The court unanimously upheld his right to “speak, write or publish opinions about any subject, with the First Amendment providing that Congress shall make no law abridging free speech.

CALIFORNICATION: It should come as no surprise that people who sanction the violent murder of helpless unborn babies would have no compunctions about assaulting the elderly. In October, an angry Planned Parenthood client shoved Ross Foti (88) into a fire hydrant.

Foti, who has spent the past 30 years praying outside Planned Parenthood facilities and counseling abortion-seeking women, reportedly suffered a punctured lung and other serious injuries that put him in the hospital for four days. He remains in pain and requiring ongoing treatment.

As of March 1, NO charges had been filed against the assailant, so Life Legal launched a campaign urging supporters to contact the San Mateo District Attorney’s Office on behalf of Foti. The campaign succeeded in getting the attacker charged with, though not arrested for, aggravated battery causing serious bodily injury and battery against an elder, which carries enhanced penalties.

While hailing the charges against the woman as a “victory,” Life Legal argued that the district attorney wouldn’t have delayed filing the charges if the situation had been reversed. If Foti had shoved the woman, they argued, “he would likely have been arrested on the spot and immediately charged.” Duh. I’m not holding my breath waiting for the Cali judicial system to punish this woman.

We’re seeing far too often where people are coming up to our businesses, sometimes with masks and latex gloves, and they’re being buzzed in, they’re being allowed to enter into the store and then we have a robbery or some kind of property being stolen,” NYPD chief of department Jeffrey Maddrey told the local business community.

MISSISSIPPI: [5:19] – On Tuesday, the seventh state banned sex reassignment procedures for minors. Mississippi also prohibits transgender males from competing with genuine female athletes.

CARS: According to the latest quarterly reports, customers are losing interest in Electric Vehicles. The reasons cited include high costs, quality-control issues, and supply-chain problems. CLICK https://twitter.com/CitizenFreePres/status/1631337079182614528 [2:18] to see an EV owner wait for a quarter hour in a cold, dark parking lot to accomplish what 3 seconds’ worth of gasoline at the pump would have gotten him.

FAUXTUS: Last year, about 47,000 people died in America from gunshot wounds. Seventy percent involved blacks, mostly males, in the inner cities, despite the fact that black males represent only 7% of the population. More than half were suicides. And some were the result of lawful self-defense and/or police shootings.

Meanwhile, there were an estimated 1.9 MILLION new cancer cases in America in 2022, with over 609,000 projected deaths. But ask a Democrat and 35% of them will tell you that GUN VIOLENCE is the #1 problem in America. So I’m sure they cheered last night when Biden vowed to ban assault weapons and high capacity magazines “come hell or high water.

GET WOKE. GO BROKE: Urban Christian Academy in Kansas City was a private, K-8 school with an enrollment of 100.

We stand with the LGBTQIA+ community and believe in their holiness. We celebrate the diversity of God’s creation in all its varied and beautiful forms.

Donors pulled their funding. In December of 2021, right before they publicly supported the LGBTQ community, they raised $333,985. In December of 2022, they raised $14,809. The school will close at the end of this school year. Incredibly, the executive director and co-founder says she has no regrets.

OHIO: The railway union reports that workers who helped clean up the mess in East Palestine have been suffering from health issues such as migraines and nausea, because the company disregarded their safety when dispatching them to clean up hazardous materials. One of the chemicals they were exposed to, vinyl chloride, can cause a rare form of liver cancer.

PREJUDICE: It amazes me that politicians can claim their failure to get re-elected is about prejudice. Supposedly, voters put this (fill in demographics) person into office without knowing what s/he could or would do. The pre-judging here was all positive. As in, “We’re willing to give you and your (fill in demographics) a chance!” Failing to get re-elected is all about having done a bad job with that chance.

VAXXX: All drugs have a pregnancy category designation. The best is A where “The possibility of fetal harm appears remote.” Very few drugs are in this category. The worst is X where, “The risk of use of the drug in pregnant women clearly outweighs any possible benefit. The drug is contraindicated in women who are or may become pregnant.” Examples of Category X drugs include thalidomide, oral contraceptives, and statins. In Dr. McCullough’s expert opinion, all of the COVID-19 vaccines belong in Category X.

Electric Vehicles Are Evil

The Issues & Insights editorial board wrote a piece called, “EVs are Evil” in which they summarized their case that “It’s time for those of us who drive gasoline-powered cars to take pride in the fact that our vehicles are safe, efficient, reliable, and don’t require ritual human sacrifices to build.”

  • EVs are environmental rapists. According to World Atlas, mining and ore processing is the second most polluting industry in the world. Mining and refining the minerals needed to make EV batteries requires thousands of square miles of land. One EV battery requires that somebody dig up 500,000 pounds of the earth’s crust:
    • 30 pounds of cobalt, which requires 30,000 pounds of ore.
    • 60 pounds of nickel, which requires 5,000 pounds of ore.
    • 200 pounds of copper, which requires 25,000 pounds of ore.

  • EVs are elitist. The lithium, cobalt, graphite, and rare earth minerals needed to make EV batteries mostly come from places such as China, Congo, Indonesia, Iran, and other countries that are noted for gross human rights violations, and are often mined and produced using forced and child labor. A young widow in D.R. Congo said she had suffered two miscarriages and that her husband, a fellow miner, had died of a respiratory disease. “I thank God for taking my babies. Here it is better not to be born.”

  • EVs cause hunger and thirst. In addition, mining and refining the minerals needed to make EV batteries requires massive amounts of water. For example, it takes 25,000 pounds of brine to refine enough lithium for a single battery. “It is hypocritical to say we are here with these electric vehicles to solve our climate problems if, in making them, we contaminate a community’s drinking water or dry up the irrigation wells they rely on.” – Aimee Boulanger, executive director of the Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance.

  • EVs use large amounts of aluminum to reduce weight. A class action lawsuit is currently pending against a bauxite mining company that supplies Ford’s EVs for polluting the water, causing cancer, hair loss, neurological dysfunction, birth defects, and increased mortality. In Indonesia, where nickel for EV batteries is largely produced, the air and water pollution are causing respiratory problems, sickness, and eye injuries and destroying forests and fisheries.

  • EVs aren’t “zero emissions” vehicles. Building them requires millions of gallons of oil and fuel, resulting in far more CO2 emissions than in the production of conventional cars. And while operating them seems fume-free, in fact it just moves the emissions elsewhere. One study found that, depending on the fuel used by the power plants in a given area, EVs may result in more CO2 per mile than conventional vehicles.

  • EVs aren’t cheaper. They cost a lot more to buy, a lot more to maintain, and they may cost as much or more to operate, depending on the relative costs of electricity and gasoline in a given time and place.

  • EVs are creating environmental problems of their own. They have a disturbing tendency to burst into flames and emit toxins while in use and there is a looming problem of what to do with the mountain of used lithium-ion batteries that will soon pile up. According to World Atlas, disposal of used batteries is the number one most polluting industry in the world.

CATHOLIC: Saint Mary’s University, an allegedly Catholic institution located in Notre Dame, Indiana, not only allows a pro-LGBT student group to function on campus, but even has a center on campus that promotes homosexual and transgender activity.

But when a student applied for permission to start a Turning Point USA chapter on campus, he was told no, because the “style and content of Turning Point USA’s messaging around LGBTQ+ issues do not align with the mission and values of Saint Mary’s.

Turning Point USA’s messaging agrees with Catholic doctrine that there are only two genders, male and female, that homosexual sexual activity is sinful, and that individuals with LGBT inclinations should live a life of chastity and abstinence.

CHICAGO: Lightfoot, the first Black woman and first openly gay person to lead the city, won her first term in 2019. She is the first elected Chicago mayor to lose a reelection bid since 1983, when Jane Byrne, the city’s first female mayor, lost her Democratic primary.

Naturally, she’s blaming her loss on race and gender, claiming she did a super duper good job as mayor. Not the Bee (link below) provides us with a long list of links to news stories about the rise in violent crime under her watch, followed by more links to stories about her failed and often ludicrous policies.

And, just to illustrate how awful her tenure has been, a Chicago criminal named Rodolfo Santillan was found guilty of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon in 2015 and again in 2018. He currently wears an ankle monitor for two pending car burglaries he committed in 2021. Last week, Santillan was arrested after a concealed carry holder held him at gunpoint for allegedly breaking into yet another car; incredibly, he was released on a recognizance bond. Two hours later, he broke into another vehicle and was again arrested after good citizens detained him. And why wouldn’t he? He’s been shown again and again that Chicago “justice” is not on the side of its good citizens! But, oopsie, a judge finally got fed up and ordered him held without bail.

COVID-19: On Tuesday, FBI Director Wray said, “The FBI has for quite some time now assessed that the origin of the pandemic are most likely a potential lab incident in Wuhan.”

Hmmmm … inquiring minds wonder just long since “quite some time” started? Maybe since the spring of 2020? CLICK https://twitter.com/ClayTravis/status/1630610929288200215 [:44] to hear Trump tell us at that time that he had good cause to believe the virus came from the Wuhan lab.

The Not the Bee link below has a long string of Wrong Media carrying “rap reak never happen” water for the ChiComs, the WHO, and the Global Elites who, IMO, are all working for Anti-Christ.

DIE: Not the Bee writes, “United Airlines is super duper proud of how super duper Inclusive™ they are. I know when I’m booking a flight, my first question is usually, ‘How gay is the pilot?’

One commenter made an interesting point. “So a straight employee wasn’t allowed to fly on that flight that day? Sounds discriminatory.”

DOJ: CLICK https://twitter.com/greg_price11/status/1630969810824593413 [2:13] to hear Merrick Garland’s b.s. answer to why the DOJ is selectively prosecuting only pro-lifers outside abortion clinics while ignoring vandalism and death threats hundreds of pregnancy resource centers and Catholic facilities. As Not the Bee summarizes it, “Pro-lifers commit their ‘crimes’ of standing around peacefully outside of abortion clinics during the day, and there are cameras. But the pro-death terrorists come under the cover of night and firebomb pro-life agencies, so they’re harder to track down.”

IVERMECTIN: John Leake writes, “The ’flooding the zone’ campaign waged against ivermectin will go down in history as one of the most mendacious and perfidious in medical history. Ivermectin has one of the safest profiles in all of medicine and multiple studies prior to 2020 showed it to have potent anti-viral properties. Most importantly, Drs. Juliana and Jean-Jacques Rajter conducted a proper controlled trial of the drug in the hospital setting in 2020 and published their study in the prestigious CHEST journal of pulmonology. The FDA KNEW about Ivermectin’s excellent safety profile, and it KNEW about the evidence showing the drug’s strong signal of benefit. Nevertheless, the agency chose to suppress this evidence and conduct a smear campaign against the drug.”

MISSISSIPPI: Gov. Reeves signed a bill on Tuesday outlawing sex-change procedures for minors and punishing doctors who push cross-sex drugs and procedures on those under 18. 

PENNSYLVANIA: A Democratic Pennsylvania State senator – Steve Santarsiero – sponsored a “queer prom” event for ages 14 and up in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Everyone who came got a goodie bag containing condoms, candy, a pride flag, a Planned Parenthood bracelet. Just in case you still had any doubts about which side of the spiritual war these people are on, the bags also contained tarot cards and and a crystal star-shaped pendant.

PRAYER: [5:42] – In God, we have the power.

RUSSIA: Vladimir Putin has officially suspended all nuclear arms treaties with the United States.

S&G: CLICK https://twitter.com/ClownWorld_/status/1629885564383285249 [:39] to have the so-called “non-binary” explained to you in ways that will leave you just as confused as ever. I’m taking a very binary approach to this subject; one, there is the truth (male and female only), and two, there are the disorders (anything else).

UK: The Isle of Man government has suspended sex education at schools after receiving a petition signed by more than 500 parents. The uproar started when the school invited a drag queen to teach children as young as 11 that there are 73 genders. One child who objected was asked leave the class. Students were also taught how to perform anal and oral sex and were shown how skin grafts are taken from a patient’s arm to create an artificial penis. Some of the students were reported traumatized by the presentations. CLICK https://twitter.com/WomenReadWomen/status/1630434439028441088 [3:36] to hear a report on the disgusting UK sex curriculum.

CINO: As part of her five-day trip to Namibia and Kenya last week, Biden participated in multiple events where she promoted the “empowerment of women and youth”, sexual and reproductive health and rights,” and “safe dating and safe sex.

DRAG QUEEN STORY HOUR: “‘Queer joy is for all ages’ [seems] to expose their motives. They’re saying the quiet part out loud. The hard left and their MSM will label the protestors as ‘far right’ but since when has protecting children been an issue reserved for the far right?” – Anglican Reverend Calvin Robinson

In Arkansas, Gov. Sanders added drag shows to a list of adult-only venues. No minors allowed.

FLORIDA: Florida Gov. DeSantis has signed a bill ending Disney’s special designation as a self-governing district. The new legislation means Disney will no longer have governmental powers, including the right to tax, to avoid state building and fire codes, to avoid state regulatory reviews and approvals, to issue tax-exempt bonds, and to operate its own utility and emergency services within its 25,000 acres that straddle Orange and Osceola counties. However, Disney will remain exempt from property taxes, a detail that has irked some.

GEORGIA: Last year, a mom attended a Forsyth County School District (FSC) school board meeting, where she objected to a book in her son’s middle school library. She began to read a passage describing oral sex, but was interrupted and blocked from speaking further. She tried again the following month, at which point the FSC banned her from future school board meetings. The moms enlisted the help of the Institute for Free Speech (IFS) to represent them in a lawsuit and won.

The district is forbidden from preventing any “current or future FCS speakers entitled to speak at an FCS school board meeting, from reading or quoting verbatim from the text of any book or written works available in an FCS library or classroom, while addressing the school board during the public-comment period at school board meetings.” AND the FSC has to pay $107,500 to cover the moms’ legal fees.

Elsewhere in Georgia, Jacob Kersey was forced out of his police department position over a personal Facebook post defending traditional marriage. He is now working with the nonprofit religious liberty law firm, First Liberty Institute, in an effort to ensure that what happened to him “doesn’t happen to another police officer at Port Wentworth, or any other city in Georgia, or anywhere else in the nation.”

LAB LEAK: [3:02] – This is what I’ve been saying for years. The ‘rona was designed as a bioweapon, but it leaked out into the Chinese community by accident. Meanwhile, the ChiComs’ draconian lockdown and vaxxx efforts have utterly failed; another wave of the ‘rona is hitting in Shanghai and Hangzhou. The government is reportedly doubling down on its “zero COVID” policy and considering more lockdowns.

I can’t avoid seeing the demon-induced stupidity that Father Ripperger talks about here. The ChiComs never intended for the virus to get loose in their own country (hellooooo … that’s why bioweapons are banned). Now that they’re stuck with it, they are totally ignoring the utter global failure of lockdowns and vaxxxing, the impossibility of eliminating an endemic virus that can harbor in multiple animal populations, and the obvious superiority of going for early treatment to achieve herd immunity.

In other news, after the Department of Energy (DOE) announced that the lab leak theory was the most likely, unfunny late night host Stephen Colbert told the DOE to “stay in your lane.” Why are the Wrongs still so committed to defending China?

LIFE: Pro-life OB/GYNs were banned from exhibiting at a national conference aimed at educating the next generation of OB/GYNs. They’ve exhibited at this conference for the last 15 years and booked a spot a year ago only to be told at the last minute that they can’t come. Ironically, the theme of this year’s conference is “Building Bridges.”

SATAN CLUB: The Satanic Temple is busy establishing After School Satan Clubs in schools across the country. In one district, the backlash was so severe, the superintendent revoked the district’s approval for the club to meet on school property.

TRANS: CLICK https://twitter.com/GCBIFem/status/1630115201839255553 [1:25] to hear America’s first trans kid admit that all of the hormones and all of the surgeries did not make him happy. Holly Ash at Not the Bee says, “His family has pushed for his trans identity and been totally accepting all the way, and none of it mattered.” Also, note the weight gain. It looks to me like Jazz has turned to food for comfort. I pray the Lord will find His way into this poor boy’s heart and help him find peace.

VAXXX: Dr. Peter McCullough reports on a recent study showing that a substance called APSNJ dissolved the ‘rona spike protein, even at low concentrations and within minutes. It is believed to be viable for intravenous drug development, which would be a Godsend to the vaxxxed and scared.

WOMEN’S SPORTS: The trans movement in sports is an all-out assault on female athletics.

A Christian school team recently dropped out of the state tourney when they learned one of teams they would have to play had an mtf on it. A school spokesperson said, “We believe playing against an opponent with a biological male jeopardizes the fairness of the game and the safety of our players. Allowing biological males to participate in women’s sports sets a bad precedent for the future of women’s sports in general.

Last fall, a middle school girls soccer coach was suspended after he reportedly “misgendered” a trans student. That same month, administrators at the same school banned members of the girls volleyball team for objecting to sharing the locker room with a biological male student.

EXORCIST FILES: The next episode is up. Don’t miss it! CLICK https://www.exorcistfiles.tv/ and choose your podcast vendor. You’ll hear about the spiritual power of holy relics and where the legends of werewolves came from. Also, Msgr. Rossetti has a new entry in his diary @ https://www.catholicexorcism.org/post/exorcist-diary-229-angels-in-an-exorcism that talks about the power of angels.

FERTILITY: I’m thinking the Global Elitists who want to drastically reduce the Earth’s human population are clinking their champagne glasses at the news that 78% of women report menstrual changes such as clotting and bleeding after getting the ‘rona jab. It is likely the vaxxx alters their reproductive cycle in a way that would inhibit conception and implantation for several cycles after the jab, if not longer. And they’re recommending the boosters be repeated every six months.

RAAACISM: Thy name is Media – You know how much the Wrongs lurve to play up stories of mass shootings, especially when any of the victims are children. One guess why they’re ignoring the Feb. 17 shooting in Columbus, Georgia, in which nine juveniles – seven boys ages 5, 12, 13, 14, 15, 15, and 17, and two 13-year-old girls – were sprayed with bullets by a 35-year-old gang member (photo above) and an unnamed 15-year-old accomplice. Thank God none of the children died.

TRANS: A new study presented at the American College of Cardiology conference showed that people who have ever used cross-sex hormones to “treat” their alleged “gender dysphoria” suffer serious, life-threatening complications at an exponentially higher rate than people who have never used cross-sex hormones.

  • Their risk of stroke is nearly seven times as high.
  • Their risk of heart attack is nearly six times as high.
  • Their risk of pulmonary embolism is nearly five times as high.

These findings apply to both males taking estrogen and to females taking testosterone. N.b., I put “treat” and “gender dysphoria” in italics to highlight the FACT that a huge number of these kids are misdiagnosed.

VAXXX: A leaked CDC document shows that the vaxxxed and bivalent boostered are 44% less likely to need hospitalization for the COVID-19than the unvaxxxed.

But the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Report that was published February 10, 2023 claimed this same cohort is 14 times less likely to die.

How is it possible for both of these things to be true? And how good are these numbers anyway, given that the counts of the unvaxxxed are certainly lower (possibly significantly so) than reality?

Dearest and I are unjabbed and have never caught the ‘rona, much less needed hospitalization for it; as far as statistics are concerned, we’re invisible. Plus, despite the fact that I see my doctor every 2 months for chronic health problems, I was only just this month asked if I wanted to have my vaccination status entered in the data base. IOW, they haven’t actually been trying to track the unjabbed in any real way until now. And even going forward, the numbers will still be skewed, because people like me will check the “Hell No” … I mean “DECLINE” box, because we don’t care to be tracked by a hostile government.

And then there are all the unknown numbers of unjabbed who simply don’t see a doctor at all. Unless one of them gets sick enough to need hospitalization, they have been and will continue to be invisible to the statistics. And, just a guess, but isn’t it likely that, among the unjabbed, the no-health-care cohort are more likely to end up needing hospitalization than the health-care cohort? Granted, some of them are just ridiculously hale, but that a lot of them are malnourished and/or suffering from undiagnosed comorbidities.

Meanwhile, the jabbed have had their injections recorded in some data base or other from Day One. And if they have a regular physician and get asked about being included in their area’s data base, they are also a lot more likely to check the AGREE box.

GRAMMY NOTES: I remember my dad telling my brother, “I liked you better when you thought I knew everything.”
