Heartbreaking beyond belief. Our military is becoming a catastrophe in the making. There are Marines sitting in barracks for months waiting to be released due to denying the Covid vaccination. They have no idea when they are being released and they are losing their mind. We are witnessing the purposeful destruction of our country. FJB and the horse he rode in on 47 years ago.

Exactly…all a part of the planned destruction of the greatest country on earth. Why 😢

Because we have selfish, sick, immature, evil psychopaths that are not being held accountable for anything they do. Put the fear of God in them by dropping off all social media today - don’t let them know what you are doing, thinking, saying, or believing. Get outside, enjoy the world in front of us, stand up for what you believe in and leave the rat race behind.

Speaking of immature, I was listening to a talk with former U.S. diplomats and CIA agents who served under Reagan and Bush during the Cold War. They were talking about how incendiary and foolish modern leaders are toward Russia. One of them brought up how Obama once said, 'no wants what Russia is selling' which is an attack on the Russian people. What can possible be gained to say such things he wondered? U.S./Soviet relations always took care to understand things from the Soviet perspective showing a maturity of American diplomacy. There was no need to dehumanize and demonize where potential nuclear war was at stake.

It's not just America of course. All nations of the West have become increasingly belligerent thanks to a new political culture filled with, we'll, irresponsible dumbasses.

Susan Eisenhower, for her part, argues that 'backchannel' diplomacy with Russia should be rebooted. I thought to myself did we seriously stop talking to the Russians? i guess that would explain why the West acts all confused about Putin. There are no lines of communications anymore.

Unbelievable.

Nope. No longer care. I live in Japan and have for over 20 years. Despite not having any representation in the US legislature, I am expected to help support not only the corrupt government here, but also the one in my homeland. I know all about bills of more than 1000 pages submitted late Friday night for an early Monday morning vote. I also know of bills being submitted for vote but have had the text changed so that senators vote for some other than what they think they are. Voting records have no meaning when such tricks are played.

I also know that trying to warn people of any of this causes the same we receive from the Covidians. We had plenty of opportunities to stop each and every part of the disaster we now face but chose not to. We made our bed, we must lie in it.

I used the free as I do here, I can still read Subscribed articles here, just not participate. Most of my Eagle Forum info comes from my State Chapter, as I get state bills to look at. It's free unless you chose to donate, that being key "CHOICE". Nor do I want Cookies to delete or track. Which is why I switched to DDG for a search engine. I get answers to my questions, and related images.

I do our grocery shopping, as I have speciality diet issues. So I'm a label reader, when it can be read with out a Microscope. Kroger's like all grocery stores has gotten very expensive, as has driving, small towns have 1 main store. I've been basically tied to the house over an unexplained Jan1 Chronic diahrrea attack, my GI tract is a MESS that got another Autoimmune added to it "Lymphocytic Colitis". OA, drugs, and others caused part if it, but Autoimmunes don't help. Heritage Farms has two types available, I saw 2 words That NO one needs to see on poultry Salt and Carrageenan, that is not a familiar word. It is in most every food you eat, it is a 'natural' preservative. BUT TOXIC. If you must eat Organic, or have Autoimmunes, there are 100 known ones, I have 5. Technically it doesn't belong in any food, you treat it as you would a GMO or other nasty chems. This is what little government tells you. Carrageenan is one of those ingredients that seems to be troublesome in 'inflammatory bowel disease'. Here's a recent review.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8539934/

There's almost no published research on carrageenan and autoimmune disorders. 'But there is a lot of published research on carrageenan and inflammation.'

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=carrageenan+inflammation&sort=date

Now a DDG search tells a very different pictorial story. Babies are now on Nexium, not a nice drug for bones. The area raising the most fuss is Organic Food users. It is Organic, but TOXIC. 1 page was enough to tell me it was a problem. IT'S BIGGER THAN YOU THINK https://duckduckgo.com/?q=carrageenan+in+food&va=b&t=hr&iax=images&ia=images&iai=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foodbusinessnews.net%2Fext%2Fresources%2FFBN-Features%2F4%2FBabyFormulaCarrageenan2_Embedded.jpg

The schools are disgraceful. I'm a former English teacher (now an anachronism) and I had to resign, since there was no possibility of persuading school officials to return to academics. That said, the parents are so busy with their careers or jobs that they don't know and sometimes don't care what the kids are being taught. So the parents could have maps and a globe in the house. "You don't need that Mom.

You just put it in the GPS" They don't know--Go north from Michigan to Florida for spring break. LOL) Parents could ask to see the thank you letter to Grandma and then be shocked at the illiteracy. Okay, that's sweet for a five-year old, but not for an eighth grader! So parents need to DO something about the language arts teaching. They have a responsibility to educate at home and then educate the educators. Parents are the first teachers. American education won't change until parents charge into the schools and demand academic instruction in the basics.

I have an 8th grader who can barely write. Instead of teaching them how to write they teach these kids Critical Race Theory in Language Arts!!!!

None of the parents I have spoken to even know what is being taught in school. It's frightening. They are training our kids to be Marxist. Our future is doomed. I live in CT btw.

I also believe we need to forgive in this life. My faith tells me that. I did not forgive before. My mother was an atheist and while she had no interest in hearing about my beliefs she had to admit that she fared better with me than with my siblings who were atheists. Many people use their faith to excuse their (selfish) actions and justify them, but that’s not how it’s meant to be. True faith makes every action better, including things related to affairs of state and health.

Maurice Strong was a committed globalist, Canadian entrepreneur, environmentalist, and proponent of United Nations. In a 1992 interview, Strong said, "What if a small group of world leaders were to conclude that the principal risk to the Earth comes from the actions of the rich countries? And if the world is to survive, those rich countries would have to sign an agreement reducing their impact on the environment. Will they do it? The group's conclusion is 'no'. The rich countries won't do it. They won't change. So, in order to save the planet, the group decides: Isn't the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn't it our responsibility to bring that about?"

Which is why if R does take Congress,it would be a much better plan to use Trump's endorsement to put DeSantis/Haley in the WH, and elect Trump Speaker.

Strategically for getting things done, and also for avoiding an uphill battle against Trump Derangement Syndrome.

I think the election was dirty, but millions of Socially Programmed voters actually did vote for Biden.

Trump would he quite ancient by 2028. Diabetes, stroke, cancer , heart attack, anything could happen and an actuary would say likely will happen.

DeSantis is not only a veteran, he is a seal do there can be no Draft Dodger drama, he runs a successful state and most anyone who would vote for Trump would vote for Mr. DeSantis, and more than a few would vote for DeSantis who would not vote for Trump.

I really think we could recover lost ground and then some with DeSantis/Haley.

Not the boomers. Nearly all of them went for the other guy. The suburban moms couldn't handle Trump's speech; they were offended by him. Bet they learned a lesson. The Biden voters were mostly younger couch potatoes who, when given a ballot, after saying what's this, bubbled in their vote for Biden, as instructed. They would have never made an effort to go to the polling center - they really didn't care just knew from TV - Orange Man Bad. Others were walking past a table where they were told who to bubble in. Some say the phantom voters were active - registrations that had never voted in the past came alive when a ballot arrived.

I’m not really referring to past elections. What I’m referring to is age demographics - the baby boomers are the largest generation by far, and the people voted into these administrative roles to lead our country are in the baby boomers demographic or above.

But yet, those with the best acumen to lead our country (both physically, mentally, and with integrity that has been tested) are not voted into leadership positions by the largest voting demographic. I think Crenshaw, Gabbard. Or DeSantis / Haley.

The president has to be both mentally & physically capable to be Commander in Chief, with the integrity that has been tested on the ground. Sadly we have gotten far away from that.

Understand now. But only in recent times have we elected such a number of seniors. Until Trump arrived, the oldest recent Presidents were Reagan and GW Bush. We seem to generally prefer mid-50's. But, perhaps more important, the Congress and highest level of the permanent state are all seniors with their best days behind them. They can claim greater wisdom (I do that at 82) but are not well equipped to be innovative (I admit to that).

I'm not sure how we ever again can return to finding the JFK's or TR's given our current system of primaries and an excess of low information voters. We have allowed the election process too much time to retain public interest despite the press eager to make it a near constant horse race. We already postulate 2024 except when real events are happening as if the public had any interest. Primaries are for the party edges not the general public, so the candidates must appease that side. Moderates like Gabbard have no chance but charlatans like Harris did get shoved out.

It’s too late for our daughter. She is 25. Graduated from a state university in Michigan in 2019. She’s ruined. Her sophomore year she started changing. She now calls us racist and the drama and anger that seethes from her (now “they”) is disheartening. She no longer speaks to us. I was a SAHM and we sacrificed a lot so I could stay home with the kids. We took them to church regularly. She told me to take my God and keep it this past Christmas. We always ate dinner together every night during their childhood. Nearly every night was a home cooked meals - mostly just the four of us because family lived far away. They did scouts, theatre, music lessons, sports and CCD. I thought we did everything right by her. She’s thrown in back in our face. Despite being smart enough to enter college and we have the money to send him, our son will not be attending college. He has been working at a fast food restaurant for two years. He has saved up enough money himself to put a downpayment on a house in 6 months. We will give him his college money towards his house. I just can’t believe we loved our daughter so much and she thinks we are bad people now.

I really feel for you. I've heard so many stories like this from people I know.

I read a young women who had gone to Smith college saying that recovering from the indoctrination is like trying to recover from an abusive relationship that warps the way you see everything in the world. Being trained to see everything from the most toxic angle possible and then trying to get that ugly stuff back out of your head is difficult, but this young woman saw and was trying.

It is amazing how negativity can suddenly seem more powerful than light and goodness to a young person, how suddenly everything shifts in their thinking and they can't see all the love and good intentions poured upon them all their lives. College age is a unique time when kids are open to new ideas and impressionable and they are getting the worst possible teaching.

You explained that very well. I have been quite taken by the toxic and negative young people I have met in person and seen online. I'm not sure, but it might be more prevalent in young women? Anecdotally, that seems true.

I feel so very bad hearing your story and the worst thing is it’s a common result of brainwashing universities. We did the same things you did raising our girls and somehow the both graduated from college without bring brainwashed but they really didn’t learn anything and would have been much better off using the money to start a business or buy a house. I would never recommend sending any child to a public institution since the indoctrination seems to begin in grade school. I’m not religious but I pray your daughter finds truth and learns to appreciate your sacrifice and love.

It does begin in grade school. The early years were Christian schools. Son would come home telling us which Governor to vote for because the teacher told the kids to tell their parents (always pro teachers). Got my Irish going.

Started public schools late elementary. Same thing! By then my son would tell me what they said and then he would laugh saying, "I know, Mom. They have no right to tell you or anyone else who to vote for." My Irish didn't go up and we would have a good laugh. I was happy because my discussions with my son had made a difference, for the betterment of him.

Great story and I'm happy for you. When I was starting colledge in CA in 1977 I had several professors who lectured on why we should vote against Prop 13 a property tax initiative on the ballot. I objected and much of the class chimed in as well. I experienced many instances of this type of pressure on what to vote for and who to vote for during my time in colledge.

The attitude of all teachers and professors is that they are smarter than their students and eveyone else and resent not being paid like CEO's. The old saying those who can't teach, those who can't teach, teach P.E. has never been more true.

Me, I teach English to med students in Japan. However, even before the panic it was becoming clear that education has become a myth. It does not matter that one is educated, only that one has the same education as everyone else. Any one possessing education in a different field must not use this education, nor even speak of it when everyone they work with make demands that go against that education. Masks, are just the latest and biggest example.

Wish I chose a trade instead.

Sorry for the delay in replying to you TS. Since then another teacher also responded. It is clear that teaching is a vocation, Nobody gets into it to be a millionaire, but you genuinely care about educating. This is the tragedy. You have one of the most important jobs in the world! I understand Japan is a very "conforming" society. I understand your dilemma. You don't have to master a trade - you have the gift of educating (in the real sense). You must have gone through a lot of exams and re-certifications to achieve your position. And you obviously are fluent in at least 2 languages, and have a medical background to boot! I appreciate your insightfulness of the situation. Be proud of your achievements, and you can learn another skill on the side. It is always good to know local wild plants as food and medicine. Or sign language. Or how to build a transistor. However your brain is wired. Thank you TS for calling it a "panic". Exactly what it was!

Expand full comment

You give me and all of us who teach our native languages in Japan too much credit. I have a degree but am far from fluent in two languages. Ironically, my Japanese was by far better when I first returned to Japan to teach than it is now and it was never all that good to begin with. My first employer here forbade us from using Japanese as our clients paid lots of money for English. Thus began the long slide from fairly competent Japanese to all but nonexistent Japanese ability. These past 2 years in virtual isolation have pretty much destroyed what little ability I had with the language.

Additionally, beside first aid traing in Boy Scouts and the navy, I have had no formal education in medicine, nor do any of my coworkers and bosses. Our purpose is to aid in doctor patient communication in English, so knowledge of medicine is not a requirement. However, due to the content of many of my lessons over the years, I have naturally picked up some terms and ideas. But that is a far cry from being medically trained. My time as a member of the engineering department has served me well however in these classes.

These past two years have seen me go from finishing the three highest earning months in my life with the then new year of 2020 scheduled to be by far my most successful. Full of promise and opportunity. Since then, I have lost 20% of my income from my 2019 baseline each year all due to our panicked over retraction to Covid. With the lost positions and losses at the few remaining ones, I am losing as much income this year as the past two combined putting me below the poverty line. My career is destroyed. The is no hope of me recovering the income lost these past two years nor that being lost this year and very little hope of me ever being fully employed again. If not for my wife’s income, I would be homeless in a couple of months. As it is, I am utterly unable to contribute financially to my family.

If I had instead opted for a trade, then I would not have had the over $30,000 of college debt to pay off, which I did pay off, and I would be able to find gainful employment somewhere.

But thank you for your kind words and encouragement.

Until they are 24, they are considered dependant financially when it comes to finanacial aid. I don't actually think it should be that way and that it's a bit of a racket for all the instituitions involved. But since it is that way,you don't have to go along with it and give financial information. Most students couldn't continue without their parents doing that. In the past, it would have seemed cruel. Now it may be the kindest thing we can do.

That being said, I hope we are able (after our daughter finishes her asscociate's by dual enrollment online as a high school student) to give her a year at a Christian college like Bob Jones. To some it is considered too fundamental. But I think it will be a welcoming safe place based on the many students I've now met who had a great experience and came out as really sweet, all around good kids.

But even going there, I wouldn't want my child going into nursing or pre-med because of what the hospitals are requiring mandate-wise.

There are always filler classes they have to take. (Why? When they are paying to go to the university? The classes have nothing to do with their major. My son worked two jobs to save money for college and during the entirety of college (full time student) while living off campus. He was 100% paying his own way for EVERYTHING.)

He took a 60s music class. Oh, what a mistake. He came home at the end of that year brainwashed against his father who is a Vietnam vet, thanks to the crappy, biased professor. I spent the entire summer trying to hide this from his father while I worked on clearing the mess out of his brain with many discussions. Luckily, I was successful.

Parents, please talk with your kids to try and keep their minds open and avoid college, which is far worse than it was when my son attended his university. And he had to hide his conservative, Christian beliefs!!
