After two years of unprecedented government tyranny in the name of fighting a virus, the prime instigators of this infamy are walking free, writing books, and openly pretending they never said the things they clearly said over and over.
Take Trump’s White House Covid response coordinator Deborah Birx, for example. She was, as the Brownstone Institute’s Jeffrey Tucker points out in a recent article, the principal architect of the disastrous “lockdown” policy that destroyed more lives than Covid itself. Birx knew that locking a country down in response to a virus was a radical move that would never be endorsed. So, as she admits in her new book, she lied about it.
She sold the White House on the out-of-thin-air “fifteen days to slow the spread” all the while knowing there was no evidence it would do any such thing. As she wrote in her new book, Silent Invasion, “I didn’t have the numbers in front of me yet to make the case for extending it longer, but I had two weeks to get them.”
She was playing for time with no evidence. As it turns out, she was also destroying the lives of millions of Americans. The hysteria she created led to countless businesses destroyed, countless suicides, major depressions, drug and alcohol addictions. It led to countless deaths due to delays in treatment for other diseases. It may turn out to be the most deadly mistake in medical history.
As she revealed in her book, she actually wanted to isolate every single person in the United States! Writing about how many people would be allowed to gather, she said: “If I pushed for zero (which was actually what I wanted and what was required), this would have been interpreted as a ‘lockdown’—the perception we were all working so hard to avoid.”
She wanted to prevent even two people from meeting. How is it possible that someone like this came to gain so much power over our lives? One virus and we suddenly become Communist China?
Last week in a Fox News interview she again revealed the extent of her treachery. After months of relentlessly demanding that all Americans get the Covid shots, she revealed that the “vaccines” were not vaccines at all!
“I knew these vaccines were not going to protect against infection,” she told Fox. “And I think we overplayed the vaccines. And it made people then worry that it’s not going to protect against severe disease and hospitalization.”
So when did she know this? Did she know it when she told ABC in late 2020 that “this is one of the most highly-effective vaccines we have in our infectious disease arsenal. And so that’s why I’m very enthusiastic about the vaccine”?
If she knew all along that the “vaccines” were not vaccines, why didn’t she tell us? Because, as she admits in her book, she believes it’s just fine to lie to people in order to get them to do what she wants.
She admits that she employed “subterfuge” against her boss – President Donald Trump – to implement Covid policies he opposed. So it should be no surprise that she lied to the American people about the efficacy of the Covid shots.
The big question now, after what appears to be a tsunami of vaccine-related injuries, is will anyone be forced to pay for the lies and subterfuge? Will anyone be held to account for the lives lost for the arrogance of the Birxes and Faucis of the world?
J6 LIAR: I reported a while back about Cassidy Hutchinson’s b.s. testimony in which she made several explosive claims damning to Trump that were quickly disputed by people who, unlike Cassidy Hutchinson, had actually been present when said incidents occurred.
On Tuesday, Mollie Hemingway and Tristan Justice published the results of their research into Hutchinson’s Big Fat Lies. In short, prior to her testimony, she had expressed privately and often that she admired Trump and his presidency, knew very little about any wrongdoing from Jan. 6, lamented about how corrupt the clown committee is, called Cheney and Kinzinger “losers”, and complained that CNN was “warping everything.”
MATT GAETZ: Showing us how it’s done – Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) recently said, “Why is it that the women with the least likelihood of getting pregnant are the ones most worried about having abortions? Nobody wants to impregnate you if you look like a thumb. These people are odious! They’re like 5’2″, 350 pounds and they’re like ‘give me my abortion.’”
The Left, which routinely calls Republican women ugly names, was outraged. A reporter asked Gaetz if he was suggesting “these women at these abortion rallies are ugly and overweight?” When Gaetz replied in the affirmative, the reporter asked, “What do you say to people who think those comments are offensive?”, Gaetz responded with a straight face, “Be offended.”
S&G: Earlier this month, footage of a drag queen attempting to entertain a toddler while parading around topless in the R House bar in Wynwood, Florida began circulating across the internet. The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation has investigated and served a lawsuit to the owners of the bar about hosting drag shows for children.
TRUMP’S VIRTUES: Tom Klingenstein, Chairman of the Claremont Institute, explains Trump’s Virtues and how he was born to fight today’s battle against Woke Communism. [17:59] – M.B. Mathews writes, “I recently wrote a column about why I believed Trump should not run in 2024. I was wrong. I allowed my distaste for Trump’s personality to override his virtues, which are considerable. Some people want Trump without his vices. I was among them — until yesterday, when I watched and listened to Tom Klingenstein’s speech titled Trump’s virtues. It was masterful and shamed me that I did not make the distinction between Trump’s character and his virtues, the former being deeply flawed, the latter being almost perfect. I need to man up in my defense of the former President’s virtues. The speech was among the most pointed I have heard and deserves some exposure.”
TUCKER: [16:11] – This is funny!
VAXXX: Seth Meyers has had to cancel his show for the rest of the week, because he has caught the ‘rona … for the second time in six months. But, he tweets, “the good news is, I feel fine (thanks vaccines and booster!)” No, Seth. You can thank the vaxxx and the booster for damaging your immune system so much that you got it for a second time. The unvaxxxed get it once and acquire lifetime immunity.
I recently saw a comment on a vaxxx story at The Epoch Times in which the unvaxxxed guy says he caught COVID-19 and it was a nothing much cold. So he’s over it and almost certainly will never get it again. But his mom, seeing how mild it was, is furious at all the pols and talking heads who made her so fearful that she got the jab.
[37:25] – This is absolutely fascinating! I did not know any of this stuff. Below is Psalm 22 (NABRE) so you can follow the discussion more intelligently.
1 For the leader; according to “The deer of the dawn.” A psalm of David.
I. 2 My God, my God, why have you abandoned me? Why so far from my call for help, from my cries of anguish? 3 My God, I call by day, but you do not answer; by night, but I have no relief. 4 Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One; you are the glory of Israel. 5 In you our fathers trusted; they trusted and you rescued them. 6 To you they cried out and they escaped; in you they trusted and were not disappointed.
7 But I am a worm, not a man, scorned by men, despised by the people. 8 All who see me mock me; they curl their lips and jeer; they shake their heads at me: 9 “He relied on the Lord—let him deliver him; if he loves him, let him rescue him.” 10 For you drew me forth from the womb, made me safe at my mother’s breasts. 11 Upon you I was thrust from the womb; since my mother bore me you are my God. 12 Do not stay far from me, for trouble is near, and there is no one to help.
[Lament] II. 13 Many bulls surround me; fierce bulls of Bashan encircle me. 14 They open their mouths against me, lions that rend and roar. 15 Like water my life drains away; all my bones are disjointed. My heart has become like wax, it melts away within me. 16 As dry as a potsherd is my throat; my tongue cleaves to my palate; you lay me in the dust of death. 17 Dogs surround me; a pack of evildoers closes in on me. They have pierced my hands and my feet; 18 I can count all my bones. They stare at me and gloat; 19 they divide my garments among them; for my clothing they cast lots.
NOTE: The bulls, lions, dogs, pierce in the lament are precisely reversed as sword, dog, lion, bulls in the petition.
[Petition] 20 But you, Lord, do not stay far off; my strength, come quickly to help me. 21 Deliver my soul from the sword, my life from the grip of the dog. 22 Save me from the lion’s mouth, my poor life from the horns of wild bulls.
III. 23 Then I will proclaim your name to my brethren; in the assembly I will praise you: 24 “You who fear the Lord, give praise! All descendants of Jacob, give honor; show reverence, all descendants of Israel! 25 For he has not spurned or disdained the misery of this poor wretch, Did not turn away from me, but heard me when I cried out. 26 I will offer praise in the great assembly; my vows I will fulfill before those who fear him. 27 The poor will eat their fill; those who seek the Lord will offer praise. May your hearts enjoy life forever!”
IV. 28 All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the Lord; All the families of nations will bow low before him. 29 For kingship belongs to the Lord, the ruler over the nations. 30 All who sleep in the earth will bow low before God; All who have gone down into the dust will kneel in homage. 31 And I will live for the Lord; my descendants will serve you. 32 The generation to come will be told of the Lord, that they may proclaim to a people yet unborn the deliverance you have brought.
1A: Last week, the U.S. Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that a law banning counseling for minors with unwanted same-sex attractions and behaviors or gender confusion violates the First Amendment.
CALIFORNIA EMIGRANTS: Babylon Bee provides a helpful guide to Californians fleeing the Tarnished State. Among them, “You have to go into buildings without any kind of official warning that something inside there might cause cancer.You will just have to take the chance. Be strong.” CLICK to see the rest.
FAMINE: It is coming, courtesy of the Global Elites. Their latest move is to force farmers to cut carbon emissions to a point that the farmers say will reduce food production. IMO, it’s just another piece of their plan to reduce the world’s population to levels they can manipulate, control, and abuse.
FAUXTUS: CLICK https://twitter.com/joebiden/status/1551993265473323010 [:17] to see a really creepy clip of FAUXTUS trying to tell us that it’s the Democrats who support law enforcement. As if. ::snork:: But really, the reason I’m posting is so you can watch his eyes. In a space of time when a normal person would blink four or five times, he never blinks once.
Healthline says decreased blinking can be seen with other motor symptoms I’ve noticed in clips of Slow Joe, including non-expressive look, blank stare, loss of inflection, soft speech, flexed-forward posture, slow, shuffling gait, and difficulty getting started or freezing during movements. These and a bunch of non-motor symptoms like loss of ability to multi-task and concentrate and slowness of thought can be indicative of a number of conditions, including dementia.
J6 BIG LIE: Liz Cheney’s Kangaroo Committee is trying to put the blame for violence at the Capitol on then-President Trump. For example, she has said that Trump “never issued any order to deploy the National Guard to protect the Capitol,” suggesting that he wanted violence to break out.
But POTUS does not have the authority to order deployment of the military for use inside the United States; if Trump had ever issued such an order, he would have been violating the Constitution.
Instead, he followed the law by authorizing the Defense Department to use “up to 20,000 National Guardsmen and women.” The Defense Department then followed protocol by presenting the authorization to the appropriate people who could then agree and make a formal request.
In this case, the appropriate people were D.C. Mayor Bowser (Democrat) and the Chief of the Capitol Police, who answers to Speaker Pelosi (Democrat). They both declined to request deployment of the National Guard to protect the Capitol.
The fact Trump authorized the National Guard to guarantee a safe transition and the two top Democrats refused them tells us all we need to know. And let’s not forget that just eleven days later, the Pentagon sent tens of thousands of National Guard troops to D.C. to guarantee a safe transition for Biden’s inauguration.
J6 SUMMARY: Scott Adams (of Dilbert fame) tweeted his Cliff Notes of the J6 Clown Show. Louise Smith added, “6. Okay. He didn’t encourage it, but we think that he might have thought about it or in his thoughts, think that others may be thinking about it and we think he thinks what we think he thinks instead of thinking other thoughts about any thinking.” Yup.
J6 WITCH HUNT: On Friday, Jonathan Turley wrote, “J6 Committee Vice Chair Liz Cheney has been criticized by critics for participating in a one-sided series of hearings devoid of alternative or dissenting views. Some have called it a ‘show trial’ with members reading off teleprompters in tightly scripted and controlled hearings. As if to fulfill that show trial portrayal, Cheney ended the hearing this week by calling for more officials to come forward and noting that Trump family members and former officials have now come forward with their own public ‘confessions.’ As with past hearings, the summation included a direct call by Cheney for voters to oppose Donald Trump in the coming election.”
As if anybody but loyal Dems are listening to this crap! I’m reminded of Joseph McCarthy, whose rabid disregard for due process led to him not only failing to keep his job, but also poisoning Wisconsinites against the GOP. McCarthy is the last Republican to sit in his Senate seat. We can only hope that Wyoming’s voters recognize Liz Cheney for the Pelosi operative she is and elect a true conservative to replace her.
KENTUCKY: On Friday, an activist judge in the Jefferson Circuit Court granted abortion facilities a temporary injunction against enforcement of the state’s abortion bans. The state’s 15-week ban is in effect.
MARYLAND: School staff in Montgomery County Public Schools in Maryland are prohibited from disclosing students’ transgender identity to their parents if the school deems the students’ parents to be unsupportive of the transition.
NCAA: The NCAA conference offices have nominated 151 actual females for the 2022 NCAA Woman of the Year award. They represent 17 sports and boast a 3.8 GPA. Trans swimmer “Lia” Thomas was put forward by her college, but thankfully, was dropped. As University of Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines correctly noted, nominating Thomas for “Woman of the Year” was a “slap in the face” to real women athletes.
TWITTER: The above tweet got Moms for Liberty booted off Twitter. They were told the tweet “[promotes] violence against, [threatens], or [harasses] other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or serious disease.“
VAXXX: The New England Journal of Medicine recently published the results of a small (66 individuals) study that looked at how long COVID patients remained contagious. The sample size was small, with only 16 unvaxxxed, 37 vaxxxed, and 13 boosted.
The biggest take away from the study was that, by day 5, about half of each group was no longer contagious, which is why they suggested the PTBs could shorten the isolation period from 10 to 5 days.
The biggest difference in the three groups showed up in the half that took longer than 5 days to stop shedding virus. The last unvaxxxed individual got there by day 10, the last vaxxxed individual by day 11, and the last boosted individual by day 14.
Interestingly, the unvaxxxed actually shed more virus during the first few days, but then dropped below the other two groups and got done first.
VFAUXTUS: As I have said before, Democrats are not serious people. In the latest bizarre nod to wokeism, Kamala has adopted a bizarre style of self-introduction that sounds like it’s straight out of an AA meeting.

It all reminded me of one of the stupider-than-normal ice breakers the adult leaders forced us teens to perform during church youth group meetings. Later on, it was games at bridal and baby showers.
COVID-19: Dr. Campbell shows evidence that natural immunity gained by recovering from Omicron is providing protection from the Ba.4 and Ba.5 variants that are now decimating the vaxxxed. [18:07] – Igor Chudov explains that those who got the jabs, especially those who also got boosted, are not only getting infected and re-infected, but also are dying from these variants.
FOOD SAFETY: Food scientists have found that people who wash chicken before cooking are more likely to promote food poisoning than those who do not wash it. Raw chicken is teeming with germs and you need to be sure it is thoroughly cooked before serving it. But it is the heat that kills the germs; washing just spreads them around your kitchen.
J6 CLOWN COMMITTEE: John Solomon’s article (link) covers Pelosi’s vindictive effort to blame the J6 violence on Trump. He includes “the most compelling piece of evidence that Trump wanted to thwart — rather than incite —violence” which the Democrats and their media lapdogs are carefully ignoring.
LANCET: This highly respected medical journal recently published a study showing that the immune function of individuals 8 months after the mRNA jabs is lower than the immune function of unvaxxxed individuals. The researchers recommended that, “as a safety measure, further booster vaccinations should be discontinued.”
They also propose there may be “a possible risk of unknown organ damage caused by the vaccine that has remained hidden without apparent clinical presentations, mainly in the circulatory system.” The study concludes, “COVID-19 vaccination is a major risk factor for infections in critically ill patients.”
PERVERSION: New York Times writer Alex Beggs published a piece entitled “A Taste for Cannibalism” in which he noted that countless recent pop culture sources seemed to be “normalizing” eating human flesh. Of course they are. Just like they’re busy normalizing pedophilia as “minor attraction,” are trying to legalize polygamy, and have already succeeded at normalizing homosexuality, public nudity, and child mutilation in the name of transgendering. If you don’t get it that Satan is in charge now, then you have not been paying attention.
THESOUL PUBLISHING: ANY engagement with a video drives up the algorithm, including dislikes and negative comments. The best thing to do with a bad video is to ignore it. [25:42] – Viewers beware. This Russian company exists for the sole purpose of making money from clickbait videos posted to YouTube, Snapchat, Instagram, and TikTok. The ones I’ve seen debunked most often have been from “5 Minute Crafts”, but the company has hundreds of channels. According to Wikipedia, they employ more than 2,000 people who produce more than two thousand videos per month, each adapted to satisfy internet algorithims. Accuracy and honesty are not company policies. All they care about is how many clicks a video gets, because the advertisers pay by the click.
TRANS: The article linked here is excellent. It tells the story of how a Christian teen decided she was really a boy and what her parents did to cure her of it. Excerpt – “The gender identity conversation is really about the created order, and turning it upside down. If you can think right-side-up, then you know three things. …
“First, God is the Creator, and we are the creatures. That means we don’t make our own identity—we receive it. Second, God did not split our souls and our bodies but knit us together as whole people. He doesn’t mash together male minds and female bodies, or vice versa. And third, God sets our sex into our whole bodies—maleness and femaleness are written into biology from chromosomes to hormones to anatomy including our sex organs and brains. For this reason, our physical bodies are our guide for gender. Our gender expression—being a brother or sister, wife or husband, father or mother—coincides with and arises from our physical bodies.”
UK: The LONDON & Quadrant Housing Trust (L&Q) fired Maureen Martin for voicing her belief in the traditional view of marriage in a leaflet during her campaign for mayor of Lewisham. Martin is an ordained minister. The Trust justified its actions, saying that while it respects “individuals’ freedom to hold particular religious or other beliefs“, it will “not tolerate it when these beliefs are manifested in a way that is derogatory or offensive to others.” In short, Christians can expect to be punished for preaching the Gospel.
VAXXX: Wayne Allyn Root says 33 of his nearest and dearest have either died or been injured, crippled, or disabled in the eight months since his wedding. Every one of them was vaxxxed. “Among my friends and family who are unvaccinated, not one of them has died or been sick since my wedding eight months ago.”
GRAMMY NOTES: Please pray for Dearest. He is going in today for pre-op tests then, if all goes well, he’ll be getting a valve job next week. His valve problem is genetic; his mom and auntie had to have this done back when it meant open heart chest cracking. We are very grateful that his commitment to healthy living allowed us to put his off for more than 20 years since his first diagnosis, during which time, TAVR was developed and then perfected. The recovery from chest cracking takes months. TAVR recovery is counted in days.
ABORTION: Item One – On Tuesday the House Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations held a hearing entitled “Roe Reversal: The Impacts of Taking Away the Constitutional Right to an Abortion.” One of the Republicans’ witnesses, Dr. Christina Francis, the CEO-elect of the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists, attempted to show the photo above.
The photo shows a 21-week fetus undergoing in utero surgery to correct spina bifida. The image has not only been published in magazines and passed around the internet, but was also a central display in a hearing 19 years ago in the Senate Subcommittee on Science, Technology and Space. The baby boy is now 22 years old. On Tuesday, Democrats refused to look at the image, lest it offend their pro-abortion eyeballs.
Item Two – Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, D-MI, has used her line-item veto to cut $20 million in state funding for adoption agencies and pregnancy centers, claiming they are “anti-choice.”
Item Three – Amazing that a comedian has managed to come up with a good routine about abortion. CLICK https://twitter.com/legendaryenergy/status/1550181134658637827 [1:50]. His cake analogy is priceless. And spot on. According to Not the Bee, “This guy isn’t pro-life. He’s not a Christian. He’s not a conservative. He’s a foul-mouthed Hollywood comedian telling it like it is. Good comedy is based in truth, and Burr hits it on the head.”
AOC: In 2012, AOC founded Brook Avenue Press, a publishing house that sought designers, artists, and writers from urban areas to help paint The Bronx in a positive way in children’s stories. The company dissolved four years later. In 2017, the New York Tax Department filed a warrant against the defunct business for $1,618.36 in unpaid taxes. She hasn’t done anything about it. With fines and interest, the balance is now $2,088.78, which I’m guessing is a lot less than that “Tax the Rich” designer dress and ticket to the Met gala cost. She says she doesn’t have to pay it, because it was “issued in error.” Last I heard, she hasn’t paid her school loans either. Were they also “issued in error”? Or does she just think she’s better than the unwashed masses she presumes to rule?
CATHOLIC: [7:42] – In 1982, Saint then-Pope John Paul II established Opus Dei as the Catholic Church’s first personal prelature under the leadership of its own bishop. The conservative group has traditionally focused on the sanctification and salvation of souls rather than on the New World Order concerns close to Pope Francis’s heart, such as climate change. Last week, in a move widely interpreted as a backhanded slap to the group, Francis demoted the leader of Opus Dei from bishop to priest.
CLIMATE: [1:35] – Lightning hit a wind turbine in Texas and set it ablaze. And it turns out that these “green” wind turbines burn hot and dirty, because they contain approximately 800 gallons of oil in the gearbox and nearly 1,300 gallons of mineral oil in the transformer.
DEMOCRATS: Pelosi’s Democrat House has refused dozens and dozens of times to even discuss a Born-Alive Protection bill. Now she says that a Republican resolution condemning violence by pro-abortion activists against churches and pro-life pregnancy centers is “unAmerican.”.

EDUCATION: Christopher Rufo reports, “Los Angeles Unified School District has adopted a radical gender-theory curriculum instructing teachers to work toward the ‘breakdown of the gender binary,’ to experiment with gender pronouns such as ‘they,’ ‘ze,’ and ‘tree,’ and to adopt ‘trans-affirming’ programming to make their classrooms ‘queer all school year.‘” Maybe the reason kids are being treated like sex objects by their teachers is that their teachers are so busy obsessing about sex instead of, you know, teaching reading, writing, and arithmetic.
EPIC: Definitely the right guy at the right place at the right time. The next time somebody says you don’t need more than seven rounds, remind then that Eli used ten to bring down this evil perp … who was carrying 100!
GEORGIA: [4:49] – The Byron Georgia Police Department has released new body camera video from Friday’s dramatic arrest of Sierra Hibbert. The 24-year-old has been charged with aggravated assault after recklessly driving, hitting multiple people and patrol cars. Keep in mind while watching this footage that there was a small child in Hibbert’s car while she was pulling this crap.
MASKS: Both Singapore and New Zealand have ultra-strict mask mandates. Both have higher ‘rona case numbers per million than Australia, where compulsory mask rules have been abandoned in most indoor settings.
MONKEYPOX: The WHO has declared monkeypox “a public health emergency of international concern” – the strongest call to action the agency can make. This despite the fact that nearly 100% of cases have been transmitted via men having sex with men. Even worse, a new global study found that 41% of those infected have HIV … and are still sexually active. Methinks that, if the only thing these selfish twats passed on is monkeypox, then their partners got lucky (this time).
SADS: A former Notre Dame/Denver Broncos football star went for a run last week and dropped dead. He was 35. His widow says, “We will have a medical examination to understand [the] cause of death.”
If it was the vaxxx, good luck getting them to admit it or letting you tell anyone else.

[5:11] – Pete Bootyjudge wants half of all personal vehicles in the U.S. to be electric by 2030. And Pete Bootyjudge thinks it’s doable. But Democrats are not serious people. And Pete Bootyjudge is a certifiable moron.
If I understood him correctly, he means half of ALL personal vehicles, not just of new sales. There are about 107 million cars operating in the U.S. Maybe 1 million of them are EVs, which means Mayor Pete wants something like 53 million of all the fossil fueled cars currently on the road to be scrapped and replaced with new electric vehicles. [Let us pause while I spew yogurt out my nose.]
In 2021, about 15 million new cars were sold in the U.S., with EVs accounting for about 6%. If the sources I used are accurate and I did the math right, we’re talking about maybe 1 million new EVs are currently rolling off the available factory floors. Even if Mayor Pete is only talking about half of all new vehicles, he’s talking about a massive production expansion over the next 8 years.
Maybe it’s doable with major, major investment to retool enough factories. But what about battery production and the mining needed to support it? According to the Clean Technica article linked below, “It takes one or two years to get a battery production plant up and running. [But] before the battery production process, you have to produce the components of the batteries, like the cathodes, and you have to create the compounds that go into the cathodes. [And] before any of that, you need to mine the raw minerals. [But] it takes at least 5–7 years to get a mine operational and there has been a lack of investment in the mining.”
And what happened to “mining is evil”? Why is it okay to exploit workers and damage the environment to remove non-renewable minerals from the parts of Mother Earth that are under foreign countries, but not to safely and ethically remove fossil fuels from under our own soil? Plus, from what I’ve heard, the entire global reservoir of these non-renewable components is insufficient to provide EVs to half the people who currently own cars.
The other mega problem Mayor Pete ignores with his fairy dust economics is that an electric car uses four times the amount of electricity per day that an air conditioner uses. So while they’re telling us to cut back on our a/c use, because summer heat is putting too much of a drain on electricity production, they are also telling us to buy electric cars “to save the planet.” Puh-leeze.
But maybe Pete is right. Maybe if we try very, very hard … and maybe squeeze our eyes shut tight, stick out our tongues, clap our hands, and just believe … we’ll succeed in switching half our cars to EV by 2030.
To be honest, I don’t think this is about Mayor Pete being stupid, though I suspect that is also true. I think it’s about the Global Elite wanting to deprive us of the independence that cars give us. If they can deprive us of our cars (and our guns), it’ll be a whole lot easier for them to manipulate, control, exploit, and abuse us … which IMO is the whole point of the fake “climate crisis.”

They get way off topic there for a while, but if you pay attention, you’ll notice that not a single Democrat on that committee ever served in the military.
ABORTION: Matt Vespa notes that both Democrat positions and the whackos they use to try and make their case are way outside the mainstream. Case in point – Paulina Guerrero, one of four “expert” witnesses they picked for last Tuesday’s Dobbs hearing. Libs of TikTok noted, “When Paulina isn’t working as a National Program Manager at an abortion clinic, she spends her free time making YouTube videos conducting witch spells and engaging in furry play.” It looks like Libs of TikTok scored another win, because all the videos have been removed.
BORDER: Not only has the FAUX administration been flying illegal border crossers into the U.S. interior, but it has also been allowing them to use arrest warrants and deportation notices as forms of identification to board U.S. flights.
DEBUNKING: [23:07] – Insane viral videos that can be either awfully messy, expensive, or dangerous to the point of lethality. Our kids need to learn to be skeptical about this stuff.
FAUXTUS: A Facebook account purporting to be the White House posted this – “Under this Administration, the current drop in gas prices remains one of the fastest declines in over a decade.
Gas prices have declined by an average of nearly 60 cents since their peak last month, and the average gasoline price is now $3.99 or less in four states.” It has 72K comments on it that range from “tone deaf” to “worst administration in history.” My personal fave is, “Is this the Onion or really someone at the White House?”
GET WOKE: Go broke.
KINDNESS: When God moves you to do something, just do it. ❤ Speaking of kindness, my daughters and I have been doing a group text about the Christmas that Dearest was out of work. It was the year Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait and the bottom fell out of the building industry. As an architect, he is at the beginning of the design process, so we felt it right away as nervous clients canceled their plans for new construction. He was out of work for a full year, so that Christmas, our church and the kids’ Catholic school (different parishes) both put us on their food basket and tree tag lists. I mentioned that my most poignant memory was the pogo stick. “I don’t know how they found out you wanted one, but I was so touched. It was way above and beyond the tree tag thing and you girls were so thrilled.” Army Princess wrote back with the name of the church lady who had gotten it. “She hid behind Santa at the parish Christmas party to hear what we wanted.” I need a tissue.
NEW YORK: On Thursday, Lee Zeldin, the Republican candidate for New York governor, was attacked during a campaign speech near Rochester. Thankfully, he escaped injury and was even able to finish his speech. His assailant was apprehended, charged with attempted assault in the second degree, and released on his own recognizance.
In Democrat World, jumping on a stage and attempting to stab a Republican is a no-bail, get-out-of-jail-free offense. HOW many J6 defendants are STILL rotting in jail waiting trial for walking around the Capitol Building without a pass?
TEACHERS: Public education has outstripped the Catholic Church for sexual predation of minors … by a lot. Between January 1 and June 30, 181 of them have been arrested for sex crimes ranging from child pornography to raping students. That works out to one per day. One teacher in Hawaii got busted for recording his sexual escapades with a 13-year-old student and then sharing them on a messenger app.
VAXXX: [13:42] – Dr. John Campbell goes over brand new data out of Singapore showing that the risks associated with vaxxxing 5-11-year-olds are manytimeshigher than the benefits.
Between 1961 and 1965, four girls in San Sebastian de Garabandal, a hamlet in northern Spain, received thousands of visions and locutions from Our Lady. Though the apparitions have not been formally approved by the Church, they were accompanied by a vast number of phenomena that defy natural explanation. Those also do not prove that something is from God, since the devil can pull off some pretty impressive parlor tricks. But they were well documented as legit, not magic tricks, so something supernatural happened. And both St. Pio of Pietrelcina (aka, Padre Pio) and St. Teresa of Calcutta (aka, Mother Teresa) believed the source was Heaven.
Another important sign that the visions were authentic is that aspects of the messages Our Lady gave to named Mari Loli, Jacinta, Mari Cruz, and Conchita have come true. For example, on June 18, 1965, Conchita reported Our Lady told her, “Many cardinals, bishops, and priests are following the road to perdition, and with them, they are taking many more souls. Even less importance is being given to the Holy Eucharist.” At the time, the idea seemed preposterous. Now we know how the Freemasons and homosexual priests, bishops, and cardinals were actively working from within to destroy the Church.
In 1963, Our Lady told Conchita that after Pope John XXIII (who had just died), there would be four popes, one of whom would govern the Church for only a very short time. This latter statement was confirmed in the 33-day-long pontificate of Pope John Paul I. After that, Our Lady said, “Then it will be the end of times.” That suggests the “end of times” began with the elevation of Pope Francis in 2013.
The girls also reported that Our Lady told them about the Warning, which many Catholic mystics have also told us about. (N.b., it is also known as the Illumination of Conscience.) Conchita described it as a “correction of conscience” during which everyone in the world will be given a revelation of the state of their souls before God. “We will see the consequences of our sins and will feel sorrow for them. The Warning will be a moment of great grace for mankind, a true penetration of the Holy Spirit into our inmost hearts, but it will be a traumatic event when we recognize the gravity of our sins and our distance from God.”
Conchita reported that everything will happen “when communism comes again.” When questioned if this meant that communism would go away before then, Conchita replied, “I don’t know, the Blessed Virgin simply said, ‘when communism comes again.’” In the 1960s, “communism” basically meant the Soviet Union and there was no reason a bunch of school girls could or would predict that it would go away, much less go away and then come back again. Yet we saw the Soviet Union fall apart very suddenly in the 90s, and now, with Putin’s aggression in Ukraine, it seems he wants to bring it back.
Mari Loli said the Warning will occur at a time when “Russia will suddenly and unexpectedly overrun and overwhelm a great part of the free world. … Some priests who are communists will create such confusion that people will not know right from wrong.” Jacinta said, “The Warning itself will occur when the situation will be at its worst.” Conchita said, “The Pope will go to Russia, to Moscow and after his return to the Vatican, hostilities will break out in different parts of Europe.” Pope Francis has said several times recently that he hopes to go to Moscow as soon as possible.
In 1962, Conchita told her aunt that Our Lady said these things would come to pass at a time when an important Synod was being held in the Church. On October 9, 2021, Pope Francis launched a two year long, global synod during which the entire church is called to reflect on its life and mission in the third millennium. It will close in 2023.
The girls also predicted something that seemed ridiculous, if not impossible in the 1960s, namely that churches would close and the faithful would be prevented from receiving the sacraments. Who would have ever thought it possible, even one day prior to actually seeing it happen, that bishops all over the world would willingly shutter churches for COVID?
Our Lady also told the girls that, within a year after the Warning, a great Miracle will occur in Garabandal. The sick who are there on that day will be cured, unbelievers will be converted, and Russia and other countries will be converted. The Miracle will be seen over the area of The Pines and will be visible from all the surrounding mountainside which will serve as a natural amphitheater to hold the crowds.
Conchita knows the date, which she will announce to the world eight days in advance. Over the years, she has dropped a few hints about the date. “It will take place on or between the eighth and sixteenth of March, April or May. It will not happen in February or June. It will be on a Thursday at 8:30 p.m. It will coincide with a great ecclesiastical event in the Church. It will be on the Feast-day of a young martyred saint of the Eucharist.” Note: I don’t know when the t.v. interview in the video below happened, but it was a very rare event and I was charmed by her modesty and beauty.
If The Warning happens this fall (see “Get yourselves prayed up, people!” @ https://polination.wordpress.com/2022/06/16/get-yourselves-prayed-up-people/), then the clues Conchita gave would have to fit a date in 2023. I looked up next spring’s calendar to find the dates of the Thursdays between the eighths and sixteenths of March, April, or May. On the liturgical calendar, these are all just ordinary Thursdays. But Conchita said, “It will coincide with a great ecclesiastical event”, which suggests it will have something to do with the organization or government of the Roman Catholic Church, not the liturgical calendar or feast days. If I hear about something special being scheduled, I’ll be sure to let you know!
I also looked up all the saints for those five Thursdays and found one who fit the bill, Saint Hermenegild of Spain. Hermenegild was raised in the Arian heresy by his father, King Leovigild the Visigoth of Spain. (Garabandal is also in Spain.) When he converted to Catholicism, his father had him imprisoned, demanding that he return to Arianism. On Easter in 586, the king had an Arian bishop take him communion. When Hermenegild refused to receive Holy Eucharist from the heretical priest, the king ordered his son’s execution. Note that, if the Garabandal Miracle is going to happen next April, the eighth day before his feast day, when Conchita would be making her announcement, will be Passover.
Our Lady also told the girls that following the Miracle, a permanent Sign will appear at the site of the Miracle, “a thing never before seen upon the earth,” to prove to everyone the authenticity of the Catholic faith. It will be possible to photograph, film, and televise the Sign, but not to touch or to destroy it.
This is all strikingly similar to the Third Secret that the visionaries at Medjugorje have received. Their permanent sign will appear on the Hill of Apparitions. Like Conchita, they know when it will happen, but are not allowed to say. And like the Garabandal visionaries, it will be possible to see and photograph the sign, but not to touch it. I’ve often wondered if the two signs will be connected somehow, especially since, in addition to both being remote mountain villages, San Sebastian de Garabandal, Spain, and Medjugorje, Bosnia-Herzegovina, are at the exact same latitude – 43°12′N!
BORDER: FAUXTUS doesn’t want us to know how many illegals are dying while trying to sneak across his porous border. Crossing deaths along the southern border from FY1998 to FY2020 were reported to Congress; 300 illegals died crossing in FY2019, 247 in FY2000.
Reporting stopped once the Biden administration took over CBP. The Epoch Times has made multiple requests to CBP for the missing data, which you’d think would be FOIA fodder. CBP doesn’t respond. Doing some actual journalism has turned up that 111 illegals have died while crossing just during June. And another 53 died in that awful abandoned tractor-trailer they found outside San Antonio.
In Texas, Brooks County Sheriff’s Deputy Don White routinely walks a route illegals use to evade law enforcement. In 2020, he found 34 dead migrants. Last year, he found 130. He’s up to 64 this year.
CATHOLIC: [7:22] – Be sure to listen prayerfully to the video if you are bothered about things like Cardinal Dolan endorsing Fr. James Martin’s dissident LGBT activism and, even worse, the Louisiana Conference of Catholic Bishops (LCCB) coming out in favor of the abortifacient “morning after” pill in cases of rape. It will help.
CDC: Since the pandemic began, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has touted the dangers of cruises. On Monday, they suddenly announced they won’t being doing that any more. Call me cynical, but I’m thinking that when it served the Globalist Elites’ agenda of destroying businesses and discouraging the masses from having any fun, they were happy to broadcast case numbers. But now that all-vaxxx cruises have become hotbeds of ‘rona outbreaks, they’re suddenly ready to let the cruise companies “handle their own testing and mitigation.”
FAUXTUS: [:41] – Slow Joe seemed to say that he had cancer because of oil refinery emissions. Or something. The White House has clarified the President had had ‘non-melanoma’ skin cancer before taking office last year. I have no idea what oil refineries had to do with it. Also not clear why it’s okay to beg Saudi Arabia to drill and refine our oil, but not for us to do it for ourselves.
FEMS vs. TRANS: Belligerent pro-abortion feminists led the way down the slippery slope, but now they’re being shoved aside by Satan’s new favorite bastard stepchild. In 2019, a 39-year-old British mother was arrested in front of her children and locked up in a cell for “misgendering” a trannie on Twitter, a 74-year-old woman was contacted by the cops in Suffolk and asked to remove social media posts critical of transgenderism, and a British father of four was investigated by police for retweeting a limerick about transgenderism. The graphic above is from that incident.
And it’s getting worse. In 2021, a man in Norway was actually given a 21-day prison sentence and a fine of 15,000 krone for “insulting” and “misgendering” a trans person on Facebook. And now a Norwegian feminist has been charged with hate crimes for tweeting a trannie, “You are a man. You cannot be a mother. To normalize the idea that men can be mothers is a defined form of discrimination against women.” If convicted, she could face up to three years in prison.
FORMULA: On July 18, the New York Post reported that the shortages are worse than ever. The article notes, “If you’re in a WIC program and your state’s contracted with Similac that’s all you can buy. So if Similac is not on the shelf, you’re out of luck.”
GAY MARRIAGE: Forty-seven House Republicans joined the Democrats in voting to codify same-sex marriage into law. The bill now heads to the Senate, where 10 Republican votes are needed to overcome the filibuster threshold.
MASKS: A new study that cultured used face masks found 99% of the samples had bacterial colonies growing on the inside of the mask, while 94% had them on the outside as well. In addition, 79% of the samples had fungal colonies on the inside, while 95% had them on the outside. (Those numbers are right; I doubled checked. More bacteria inside; more fungus outside.)
Most of the species were non-pathogenic, but some – like staphylococcus aureus, bacillus cereus, staphylococcus saprophyticus, and pseudomonas luteola – are dangerous.
Several studies of mask usage failed to find any positive correlation with mask wearing and, in some studies, there appeared to be harmful consequences. In fact, a German researcher found that areas with mask mandate had ∼50% more deaths than areas without them.
OPPRESSION THEATER: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=601961017957818 [5:50] to see NewsMax report. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said of AOC’s publicity stunt, “That’s pretty much what she is and that’s what she’s been the entire time she’s been a member of Congress.“
ROE: The so-called “Pink House” was Mississippi’s last remaining abortion facility and home to the former Jackson Women’s Health Organization of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization fame.
VAXXX: We’ve all seen how people who got the jabs are now getting the ‘rona in huge numbers. A Yale epidemiology professor explains why this is happening. The mRNA experimental inoculants produced by Pfizer and Moderna both send messenger RNA into muscle cells, where it teaches them to produce a piece of the original spike protein. This in turn triggers the production of antibodies.
BUT, the original spike protein is long gone so, unlike true natural immunity, which reacts to the whole of the virus instead of just one teensy piece of it, vaxxx-generated antibodies are not only useless against the mutant ‘ronas, but actually interfere with the immune system’s efforts to fight them.
GRAMMY NOTES: “Marian year” is a designation given by the Catholic Church to calendar years in which the Blessed Mother of Our Lord is to be particularly reverenced and celebrated. These do not follow a set pattern and may be declared locally by a bishop for his diocese or by a national conference of bishops for a country. In Church history, only two global Marian years have been pronounced. I was born in Mary’s Month (May), during the first one in 1954, which was promulgated by Pope Pius XII. The other, declared by Pope John Paul II, was in 1987.
