It’s obvious to everyone (excluding the justice department) America was being run by a group of unelected people. Their goal was to hide Biden’s mental decline until the very last minute of his presidency. This to get every penny, every policy they wanted passed and every ounce of power they could wring out of this president who suffers from dementia. Now it’s all about pleading the 5th and covering up what was going on. The real disgusting thing is these people, just as we did, knew exactly what they were doing. In fact they called themselves the politburo. The actual politburo was the executive committee of the communist party from the former Soviet union, how fitting.
Ron Johnson was on War Room yesterday and said Biden is going along with these pardons that were given, so he said there’s not much anyone can do, which is another slap in the face to all of us that have been harmed physically, financially and mentally by what this Biden administration did to our country. I’ve had so many close people in my life become sick from these shots. My brother and sister, friends, their kids, customers.
Now it’s my mother in law, her doctor pushed 3 shots into her, and now she’s full of blood clots. She lives with us now and there is doctor’s appointment after doctor’s appointment. It’s incredible people like Jeffrey Zients and the rest of the politburo get extremely wealthy, able to take care of generations of their families, and we the middle working class get crushed in their wake, picking up the pieces of all the harms they inflicted on us. Where’s the justice? Let’s see if Pam acts on Rand Paul’s call to go after Fauci. J.Goodrich
Have always thought the 5th should read "not be forced to testify against themself" as torture to obtain a confession was still in vogue in the home country when we applied for leave. The only rationale for anyone to be allowed to use the 5th today is because lawyers have so screwed up our legal system that the average joe never knows for sure when he is innocent or or has stepped into a pile of caca invented by lawyers
It’s something what’s obvious to everyone, in your face corruption, theft after theft, people dying left and right, people getting sick everyday, others bank accounts grow and grow, politicians becoming wealthy beyond imagination, and there’s nothing we can do, it’s amazing.
Quit electing their figure heads. Anyone paying even moderate attention would never have voted for 44 or 46 unless they wanted,for obviously devious reasons, what we got.
Many of our elections are, unfortunately, still fixed, even probably Trump's 47 election, from what I've heard from a man with a podcast whom many people deem to be reliable. He asserts that the questionable voting machines were still in use for the 47 election, and the election was not "too big to rig."
Thank You Jennifer. The diagnosis is not very good. For that week she spent in the hospital a dozen different staff members, doctors, PA’s, specialist doctors, nurses, blood work etc. was done, no one knew why this was happening. A google search said rarely it can be caused by the mRNA injection. My wife asked the attending doctor that question, she said the same exact thing. That answered my question why. If google says maybe about a mRNA shot causing an adverse reaction you know that’s what it is. Sad what people have to go through so these shysters and charlatans could get rich, disgraceful.
Unless Joe had napped all day, been woken up at 8, pumped up with amphetamines, and had three pots of coffee, there's no way he knew what was going on.
Like many politicians, especially Democrat politicians, his entire career is marked with mediocrity.
The real truth is that Biden never was presidential material.
I'm a patient man and will continue to support Trump's efforts to right these wrongs, but if nothing is done within the span of this administration, the sooner, the better, this WILL happen again.
Our country will not take another hit like the one the Obama commies hit us with.
When Biden says he approved of all the pardons and every thing else that the auto pen did I believe him. The problem is he had no idea what he was approving, most of the time he was like a child being led around like a 2yr old here do this do that and you will get an ice cream cone. The Democratic Party is at fault for this as they let this happen and covered up for it. I could never vote for a Dem. again ever. They were never my party and if you think what they did was ok then you are part of the problem. Trump may have some problems but 100% of him is for the country.
I was a nursing home administrator for many years. It was not uncommon been to have to chase old men l like Biden down the street when the wandered out of the building. Watching what’s been going on brings back sad memories but it’s all so obvious to anyone that wants to look. Jill should be locked up
I was amazed that they had him so pumped up with drugs in the 2020 debate that he did as well as he did. And Trump kept interrupting him, which was like sending him a lifeline instead of letting his condition be plain for all to see. He wouldn't have been able to complete a coherent sentence even then.
The Dimwits have been coopted by the DemoCommies who have NO morals or integrity nor respect for the US Constitution which they all SWEAR to "uphold."
The DemoCommies backed by DemoCommie "judges" have NO fear of facing fines or jail time for their ongoing crimes. Corruption wise, the US government leads the field!
I would personally note that both Biden and Zients occasioned their opportunities to engage in/expand their grifts during the Obama administration. In terms of Zients, during those times, it was noted that Obama's staffers seemed to know how Obama wanted things handled without any discernible direct direction. Could this phenomina have continued from his DC residence during the Trump reign?
That aside, noted beyond question, Zientz had the major visible role in the course of events. While one might speculate regarding Obama direction, Obama himself could be subject to superior forces.
All of this with the spector of mid-terms on the road ahead. To me it seems quite clear where the opposition would take us. That they have so many blinded supporters confounds.
This all lends further impetus to the critical initiatives Kennedy, MAHA, yourselves and forces within the medical community are taking to get vital medical contributions to the wellbeing of our populations back in practice.
May disclosures and reforms be successful to continuing our progress!
On to another successful day. Power to you, in particular, and all of us!
Right Jean we have recently suffered two individuals in that position lacking the cognitive ability it requires with surrogates in charge doing bad things to us
Speaking of decline, Jeff Zients would appear to have an advanced, and not particularly patchy case of moral dementia -- his moral system is so decayed that he has no compunctions about harming others, and advancing his own financial affairs at the expense of others - even the death of others. Such moral dementia appears to be a widespread affliction of the rich and powerful whose playground is Washington D.C. Is there a ward at St. Elizabeth's for these neuropsychiatric degenerates? No, but there is one in federal prison, if anyone with enough clout has the balls to bring them the "help" that is so badly needed - help that is more by the country than by Zients and his ilk.
I know you're speaking tongue-in-cheek, but that gives him too much credit - it implies he ever had a moral compass in the first place. The word "slither" is used in the article. Perfect. Just what snakes do.
Over 400 years ago, Sir John Harington wrote "Treason doth never prosper: what's the reason? Why, if it prosper, none dare call it treason." Zients is a poster boy for the truth of this. The remedy for treason used to be hanging, drawing and quartering. Not a bad way to discourage further such depraved acts against our Constitutional Republic - the Eighth Amendment notwithstanding.
IF only those who commit "treason" were still facing the public gallows + the Brits "drawing and quartering" the level of out and out corruption of the so-called "elite" (read DemoCommies and RINOCommies ) might well become rare.
How can we have the autopen pardons adjudicated in court.
Rand Paul advocates charging Dr. Fauci with lying to Congress. His defense will be that he is exempt from prosecution because of a pardon. That defense will force the opening of adjudication. Alternatively, a case could be brought in Florida against any number of FBI types that raided Mar-a-Lago who have been pardoned to achieve a same opening of the pardon defense.
The problem is Pam Bondi. Will she pursue these cases. James Comey’s daughter was the judge in New York that prosecuted Epstein. She’s the person that sealed the Epstein documents. Finally they fired her. So we’ll see what happens with Bondi. Will she do what we were all promised??
I know it’s him. Funny yesterday a second after he was asked about releasing information, no hesitation, no delay, less than a second he said it’s up to Pam to release info. Personally I don’t believe it. Trumps problem is going to be, if someone leaks the list, even if it’s not exactly accurate, and there are donors, friends or family of his on that list, they will impeach him. I believe enough Republican RINO’s will go along with democrats and he may have a big problem. We’ll see. This is why he should release the files and the list. Nixon didn’t know about the Watergate breakin, it was the cover up that took him down.
It's amazing that it was handled so poorly. Too many OT kings to mention, but was reading yesterday about Asa in II Chronicles. Thirty-five years went pretty well. Year thirty-six, puffed up a bit perhaps, a bad decision led to unpleasant consequences. All too human, and would any of us have done any better? Probably not, certainly not me. All of us can get too big for our britches. There is an answer; let's hope and pray he finds it.
An even better example of our reality from I Chronicles: "Now Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel." Even Joab knew that this was a bad idea, because it was only to feed David's ego, and Joab tried to talk him out of it. But David was the king...
Trump's continued 180s and accusations to MAGA have caused much consternation for me, and for many, many other MAGAs. It makes me wonder if the shot to his head (ears are part of the head), somehow affected his Frontal Lobe judgment ability or initiated some type of Alzheimers. He has become so suspicious about MAGA. I'm probably way off base, but the thought did occur to me.
Once again, Epstein - like so MANY of the "elite" was a longtime member of the "COUNCIL on FOREIGN RELATIONS" - the "NGO" that has dominated and controlled BOTH "Foreign" and DOMESTIC policy for decades.
Finally. We know who was running the country in lieu of a mentally declining Biden. You are an "insider" to a degree now. Looking forward to whatever else you may uncover in the future and reveal to a public that deserves to know. Thank you!
Zients, a totally unethical man, whose White house access inflicted damage on the country with his harmful vaccine enforcement and more. it seems Zients was behind using the autopen illegally.and running the White House. He had no legal right to be doing this...and it is obvious that Biden did not have the ability to perform all his duties himself. Zients took over, when he should have had Biden evaluated.
It is all about power and control. That is what an abuser craves is Power and Control. The abuse for power during the Biden White House was unprecedented. You take a mentally declining President and a corrupt White House staff and you have a carefully orchestrated swap of power. These corrupt men will never have enough money. It is about Power and Control.
Thats why God tells us, "revenge is mine, sayeth the Lord." It is too much for a human to endure such mistreatment and then find out there is nothing you can do to the one who has caused it. We have to know about this evil done in our government (half of Americans don't know any of what Dr. Malone wrote) and then trust that God will take care of it/them in His time.
I have in recent days been reviewing Tolkien's tomes of imaginary legend, as I recently saw the movie versions (on DVD) and wanted to compare. The subversion of "good" men (and we might include women, more modernly) by "evil forces" was a constant and recurring theme in these stories. Star Wars had a not dissimilar trajectory.
The great question of where this evil comes from and what to do about it has been significantly answered for me. But I am aware that most people here on Earth either set this worrisome problem aside or fall back on religious lore for their answers. And thus the problem has continued, largely unhandled and unabated.
Though it is in some ways helpful to locate a person with the means and motive to subvert the Biden Presidency, where further does that lead us? Presidents, being mere men, must have their advisors, who are likewise mere men (or women).
In Tolkien's epic work, a "conspiracy" of beings, some unusually innocent, some unusually brave, and some unusually gifted and all with a high sense of responsibility for the outcomes of their deeds succeeded in banishing an "evil force" from their land and thus restoring the promise of life as a worthwhile adventure. Though Tolkien's strength was in his linguistic knowledge and writing ability, rather than philosophic rigor, he brought us a tale that spoke to many of us as a kind of vivid reflection of the fundamental experiences of human life. And so for most of us the more fantastical elements of the stories remain just that, and for all purposes, not understandable.
But if we are ever to move forward and resolve this dilemma of "evil forces" in the world, we must move our understanding of them beyond the awe-struck attitude that is still so common among us, and begin to learn, quite factually, how to restore to ourselves some of the "magical" abilities that most of us today ascribe to delusion or God.
When I began to study in this direction in 1981 at the tender age of...26 I think...I had no idea I would be writing such pithy and inscrutable comments as I commonly do these days. You have to reserve a place in your mind for miracles to believe what I have studied could possibly be true. But I tell you, if more do not take up this burden and share it with me and the others who so far have taken it up, we could very likely see the end of our planet as we know it, though not the end of all life, by any means.
"...almost coded into our DNA." Maybe it actually is. There are some who believe the Name of God is encoded in our DNA. Gregg Braden has written on that subject, and I think there are others.
There are two verses in the book of Hebrews that suggest we do have an innate knowledge of good vs. evil, or "right" and "wrong". Hebrews 8:10 and Hebrews 10:16... “This is the covenant I will make with them after that time, says the Lord. I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds.” That suggests an actual coding of our DNA.
Regardless of personal religious beliefs, I believe in the end we all have to face a judgment. And I do think Karma eventually catches up with people, whether in this life or in the afterlife. Just my personal ideas...
Good morning Larry. Your last paragraph or so asks how to restore the magic. I believe the answer is simple… crush bullying when and where you find it.
Getting to our psychotic overlord bullies? Well no one said it would be easy.
Can you enlighten us with any personal experience?
I once worked in a group that had an Ethics reporting system. When I got harassed I reported the matter and got some ethics protection. But she came back and tried again a few years later. Finally, I had to leave. There are basic policies, though, that groups could put in place that would assist trained personnel to locate and fire the "bullies" (though a skilled psychopath does much more than just play a bully).
One can get up to the point personally where one is immune to their influence. But many are unaware that this is possible and so don't even attempt it, though they might be quite able to succeed.
Those who have the power to hire and fire, or are in positions to call out misbehavior without fear of too much retaliation, could change the scene quite a bit. But they have to be trained to do it right, and most people have no clue.

Look into using nattokinase as a natural treatment for blood clots.
I'm so sorry about your mother in law. That's a tough situation for the family, too.

Remember that a much saner electorate rejected a Biden candidacy on many occasions.

The Web has loose strings.
Yet in the darkest hours, the Spiders doth repairs.
Consider state AGs could file charges for harm to state residents. Not a fed crime,not covered by the pardon
I so wish they would!!
Great analysis. Given Zients’ history of enriching himself on “our dime”, I wonder if Zients operated a “pay for play” pardon scheme. Ugh.
Finally. We know who was running the country in lieu of a mentally declining Biden. You are an "insider" to a degree now. Looking forward to whatever else you may uncover in the future and reveal to a public that deserves to know. Thank you!

Those who have the power to hire and fire, or are in positions to call out misbehavior without fear of too much retaliation, could change the scene quite a bit. But they have to be trained to do it right, and most people have no clue.
Ohh dude…got a boss fired for peeing on the floor on purpose. Got off on making others clean it up.
I may revisit your comment over and over again over coming days for inspiration and escape! Thank you.
That particular boss was and is a turd. What his wife had to say about him is unprintable.
