Structure of Keytruda binding to PD-1 on T-cells. Nature Communications
ISSN 2041-1723 (online)

Editor’s note: Keytruda was the first cancer drug approved to treat any solid tumor – anywhere in the body – that displays specific molecular characteristics. This marks
the 1st time that the FDA has approved a cancer drug based on the tumor’s molecular characteristics, regardless of its organ site.

Here are five important things to know about this landmark cancer drug:
Keytruda works as an immunotherapy drug. This means that it aims to trigger a patient’s immune system to recognize and launch an attack against cancer cells. T-cells are a key immune cell type that, when activated, can destroy cancer cells as foreign invaders – but the tumor puts out signals that scare them off. Keytruda blocks those signals.“There is reason to believe that there are T-cells that recognize cancer cells,” said Dung Le, MD, associate professor of oncology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and a Pancreatic Cancer Action Network research grant recipient. “But we still have to figure out how to get them into the tumor and get them to kill cancer cells before they are turned off. With new immunotherapy agents like Keytruda, there is hope.”

Microsatellite instability (MSI) and DNA mismatch repair deficiency
are the molecular alterations that triggers a patient’s response to Keytruda.
High MSI and DNA mismatch repair deficiency result in significant accumulation of DNA damage, leading to a high number of mutated, deviant proteins within the cancer cells.
When T-cells scan the body looking for foreign invaders, the abnormal proteins expressed by cancer cells with high-MSI or mismatch repair deficiency catch the T-cells’ attention – and they can recognize and destroy the cancer cells as long as drugs like Keytruda are also present.

Keytruda is an example of precision medicine. When a patient’s treatment is based on their tumor’s molecular characteristics, it’s called precision medicine. “Every pancreatic tumor is different,” explained Cassadie Moravek, senior manager of clinical initiatives for the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. “We strongly recommend molecular profiling of patients’ tumors to help determine the best treatment options.” Eligible pancreatic cancer patients can enroll in our Know Your Tumor® precision medicine service to determine their MSI and mismatch repair status, as well as to reveal other molecular alterations that could help inform treatment decisions.

About 1 to 3 percent of pancreatic cancer patients have high MSI or DNA mismatch repair deficiency. Overall, high MSI or mismatch repair deficiency can
be found in about 4 percent of all advanced solid tumors. “These are small numbers, but with a disease like pancreatic cancer, a drug that will work well in even a small subset of patients is still a major step forward,” said Moravek. “Being able to chip away at the disease by identifying effective treatment options for different subtypes of patients will move us toward our goal to double pancreatic cancer survival by 2020 – and beyond.”

Our PanCAN Patient Services Case Managers can help patients get molecular profiling. If you have any questions about Keytruda, how to determine your or a loved one’s MSI or mismatch repair status or any other pancreatic cancer-related topics, please contact us today.

Houston Methodist nanomedicine researchers:
Have found a way to tame pancreatic cancer—one of the most aggressive and difficult to treat cancers—by delivering immunotherapy directly into the tumor with a device that is smaller than a grain of rice. In a paper recently published in Advanced Science, Houston Methodist Research Institute researchers used an implantable nanofluidic device they invented to deliver CD40 monoclonal antibodies (mAb), a promising immunotherapeutic agent, at a sustained low-dose via the nanofluidic drug-eluting seed (NDES).
The result, found in murine models, was tumor reduction at a fourfold lower dosage than traditional systemic immunotherapy treatment. “One of the most exciting findings was that even though the NDES device was only inserted in one of two tumors in the same animal model, we noted shrinkage in the tumor without the device,” said Corrine Ying Xuan Chua, Ph.D., co-corresponding author and assistant professor of nanomedicine at Houston Methodist Academic Institute.

“This means that local treatment with immunotherapy was able to activate the immune response to target other tumors. In fact, one animal model remained tumor-free for the 100-days of continued observation.” Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is frequently diagnosed at advanced stages. In fact, about 85% of patients already have metastatic disease at diagnosis. Immunotherapy holds promise in treating cancers that previously
did not have good treatment options.
However, because immunotherapy is delivered throughout the entire body,
it causes many side effects that are sometimes long-lasting, if not life-long.
By focusing the delivery directly into the tumor, the body is protected from being exposed to toxic drugs and fewer side effects, essentially allowing patients undergoing treatment to have a better quality of life. “Our goal is to transform the way cancer is treated. We see this device as a viable approach to penetrating the pancreatic tumor in a minimally invasive and effective manner.
Allowing for a more focused therapy using less medication,” said Alessandro Grattoni, Ph.D., co-corresponding author and chair of the Department of Nanomedicine at Houston Methodist Research Institute.The Houston Methodist researchers are studying similar nanofluidic delivery technology on the International Space Station. Grattoni’s nanomedicine lab at Houston Methodist focuses on implantable nanofluidics-based platforms for controlled and long-term drug delivery and cell transplantation to treat chronic diseases.

It’s called a nanofluidic drug-eluting seed (NDES).

The NDES device consists of a stainless-steel drug reservoir containing nanochannels, thus creating a membrane that allows for sustained diffusion when the drug is released. Other medical technology companies offer intratumoral drug-eluting implants for cancer therapeutics, but those are intended for shorter duration use. The Houston Methodist nanofluidic device is intended for long-term controlled and sustained release, avoiding repeated systemic treatment that often leads to adverse side effects.
Additional lab research is underway to determine the effectiveness and safety of this delivery technology, New research in mice shows promise for a potential therapy for pancreatic cancer, which can be aggressive and hard to treat.

Researchers from Houston Methodist tested a device that,
while smaller than a grain of rice, could deliver immunotherapy directly
into a pancreatic tumor. It’s called a nanofluidic drug-eluting seed (NDES).
The scientists invented the implantable device to deliver CD40 monoclonal antibodies at a sustained low dose. Tumors shrank at a dose that was four times lower than traditional systemic immunotherapy, the study authors reported. However, the findings are early, and research done in animals is often different when repeated in people. “One of the most exciting findings was that even though the NDES device was only inserted in one of two tumors in the same animal model.

Washington: MIT researchers have developed a small, implantable device that delivers chemotherapy drugs directly to pancreatic tumors, and can potentially help shrink the tumors to a size where a surgeon can remove them. In a study of mice, researchers found that this approach was up to 12 times more effective than giving chemotherapy drugs by intravenous injection, which is how most pancreatic cancer patients are treated.
“It is clear there is huge potential for a device that can localise treatment at the disease site,” said Laura Indolfi, from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)’s Institute for Medical Engineering and Science (IMES). “You can implant our device to achieve a localised drug release to control tumour progression and potentially shrink (the tumour) to a size where a surgeon can remove it,” said Indolfi. This thin, flexible film could also be adapted to treat other hard-to-reach tumours, researchers said.

Injections of chemotherapy drugs often fail not only because the pancreas is so deep within the body, but also because pancreatic tumours have few blood vessels, making it harder for drugs to get in. Also, pancreatic tumours are often surrounded by a thick, fibrous coating that keeps drugs out. In hopes that getting drugs directly to the tumour site would improve treatment, the researchers engineered a flexible polymer film that is made from a polymer called PLGA, which is widely used for drug delivery and other medical applications.
The film can be rolled into a narrow tube and inserted through a catheter, so surgically implanting it is relatively simple. Once the film reaches the pancreas, it unfolds and conforms to the shape of the tumour. “Because it is very flexible it can adapt to whatever size and shape the tumour will have,” Indolfi said. Drugs are embedded into the film and then released over a preprogrammed period of time.

The film is designed so that the drug is only secreted from the side in contact with the tumour, minimising side effects on nearby organs. Researchers, including those from Massachusetts General Hospital, compared two groups of mice carrying transplanted human pancreatic tumors.
One group received the drug-delivery implant loaded with the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel, and the other received systemic injections of the same drug for four weeks, which mimics the treatment human patients usually receive.
In mice with the drug-delivery implant, tumor growth slowed,
and in some cases tumors shrank.
The localized treatment also increased the amount of necrotic tissue (dead cancer cells that are easier to remove surgically). Additionally, by acting as a physical barrier, the film was able to reduce metastasis to nearby organs. The researchers also found that after four weeks, the concentration of paclitaxel in the tumors of mice with the implanted device was five times greater than in mice that received injections.

The research was published in the journal Biomaterials.

Triple Crown Secretariat Still Dominate 50 years On – Bing video
On May 5, 1973, Secretariat blazed around the track in Kentucky Derby in
a record 1 minute and 59 seconds. Secretariat had an unusually large heart,
an engine that propelled him to a Triple Crown sweep 50 years ago.

The colt nicknamed Big Red remains the heartbeat of an industry that has yet to see such dominance on and off the track replicated. His name recognition, even among those who don’t follow sports, is still strong 34 years after his death, and eight of his descendants
will run in the Kentucky Derby on Saturday, including.
Secretariat: The Triple Crown Experience – YouTube

Champions Day at Churchill Downs is dedicated to Secretariat’s record-breaking
win of the Triple Crown.  This year, Kentucky is honoring one of the greatest athletes
of all time. “He’s still the bar to me,” said Bob Baffert, who also trained Triple Crown
winners American Pharoah in 2015 and Justify in 2018. “I still ask strangers,
‘Who’s the best horse you ever heard of?’ and I’m hoping they say Pharoah.
They say Secretariat.” Preakness and Belmont in record times that still stand
and ended a 25-year Triple Crown drought.

“It says he was beautifully prepared for each of those races, and his competition was not
as good as he was,” said Dave Johnson, track announcer for the 1973 Belmont in which Secretariat won by an astounding 31 lengths. “He was a special animal.” Big Red’s path
to Triple Crown glory began in the Derby. He was the first horse to cover the 1 1/4-mile distance in under 2 minutes with a time of 1:59.40. It would not be repeated until Monarchos clocked 1:59.97 in 2001.

Secretariat’s rival, Sham, led for the majority of the thrilling contest. Big Red, however, promptly narrowed the gap in the finishing stretch & surpassed the leader in the Derby’s final moments with a two and a half length win. Secretariat’s recorded time was a world record. While there have been 148 victors of the Kentucky Derby throughout history,
only two of these winners have officially completed the race in under two minutes.

It is commonly believed Sham cracked the two-minute race time in the 1973 Derby
alongside Secretariat, but only the number of the first-place finisher was officially recorded at that time in history.
The other Thoroughbred to have completed the Derby under the two-minute mark was Monarchos. The 3-year-old and his jockey, Jorge Chavez, finished the 2001 Kentucky Derby in just 1:59.97.

Secretariat FACT VS FICTION – YouTube
What other records did Secretariat break?
Aside from posting the fastest Derby time in history,
Big Red still holds a number of records in American horse racing.
At the age of three, Secretariat set the record in each of the
Triple Crown races, achieving the following times:
Kentucky Derby – 1:59 2/5
Preakness Stakes – 1:53
Belmont Stakes – 2:24
The infamous horse was named the ninth American Triple Crown winner
in history, and each of his Triple Crown records still stand to this day.

Two weeks later, Secretariat broke out of the starting gate. Jockey Ron Turcotte
made a split-second decision in the first turn to swing Big Red to the outside in
a rush to the front. They won by 2 1/2 lengths over Sham, who had also finished
second in the Derby. “I could make five, six moves with him in a race.
A normal horse you could make one or two,” Turcotte told The Associated Press
by phone from his home in Canada. “Down the lane I never asked him to run.”

Secretariat just galloped to the wire very easily.”
The Pimlico track’s timing device showed Secretariat clocked 1:55 for 1 3/16 miles,
but it had malfunctioned. It wasn’t until 2012, at request, that the Maryland Racing Commission reviewed the video and revised his time to 1:53, another track record. Secretariat’s popularity exploded in the three weeks leading up to . He became a pop culture phenomenon, appearing on the covers of Time and Newsweek while helping distract a nation dragged down by Watergate and the Vietnam War.

“He had just about everything,” Turcotte said. “He was a good-looking horse,
he was a very strong horse, had a long stride that covered a lot of ground, a very
cooperative and generous horse. He would give you whatever you asked of him.”
In the Belmont, Secretariat was the 1-10 favorite in the grueling 1 1/2-mile race
against just four rivals, including Sham who was back for another try.

Secretariat went to the early lead along the rail and was soon challenged by Sham,
ridden by Laffit Pincay Jr. The two horses were even through a 1/2 mile at a blistering
pace in what became a match race with the rest of the field about 10 lengths behind.
Sham poked his head in front around the turn, but soon weakened. Secretariat began distancing himself from the field. He ran the mile in 1:34.20 and reeled off 1 1/4 miles
in 1:59, faster than his record time in the Derby.

Big Red completed the last quarter in a scant 25 seconds.
He finished in 2:24, his third record in as many races. “The Belmont was such a magnificent display of speed and stamina,” recalled Johnson, Sham was injured
and finished last. He never raced again. Secretariat’s legend has only endured.
He had his own U.S. stamp and was the subject of a 2010 Disney movie.
“He was a beautiful horse,” said Pincay, now 76 and retired in 2003.
“You never saw him do anything stupid. Some horses jump down
and get nervous. He was very businesslike.”

Secretariat’s heart — which a 1989 necropsy found weighed 22 pounds, compared
to 8 1/2 pounds for the average horse — was the basis for an Audi car commercial
in 2017. “He could turn air to oxygen much faster than another horse could,”
Turcotte said. And on the 50th anniversary of his history-making triumph,
Secretariat is being given another round of celebration.

The Kentucky Derby Museum is featuring “Secretariat: America’s Horse,”
a new exhibit that uses technology to show how his physique helped make him
such a standout. His three Triple Crown victories can be viewed on a 10-foot wall.

People Behind Secretariat – Bing video

The National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame is taking a traveling exhibit
to the Triple Crown cities of Louisville, Kentucky, Baltimore and New York —
as well as Secretariat’s birth state of Virginia.
The exhibit features his Triple Crown trophies and the story of the people who
guided him. Turcotte is the lone remaining member of Secretariat’s team.
Chenery, his owner, died in 2017 at age 95; trainer Lucien Laurin died in 2000;
died in 1998; and exercise rider Charlie Davis died in 2018.

Bill Nack, the former Sports Illustrated writer who closely chronicled Big Red’s career,
also died in 2018. Turcotte, 81, became a paraplegic after a riding accident in 1978.
He travels less these days while caring for his wife in his tiny hometown of Drummond, New Brunswick, where there’s a statue of him and Secretariat crossing the finish line. “There’s never been a horse like him,” Turcotte said, “I doubt there will be another one.”

In 2015, on his way to the Belmont winner’s circle for American Pharoah in 2015,
Baffert shared a celebratory embrace with Chenery. “I whispered in her ear,
‘He’s no Secretariat, but he’s as close as I’ll ever get,’” the Hall of Fame trainer said.
“You’re damn right,” she replied.

that American racing history ever produced. A stalwart in speed and agility the champion
rose to national fame when he won the Horse of the Year award as a two-year-old colt in
1972 followed by a thumping victory as Triple Crown winner (Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes – in the first two new track records were set and, in the latter,
a new world record), in the year 1973.

So, what’s the secret of a stalwart stallion?

Thoroughbred family tree goes back to one horse.
What made the world-famous horse a champion of champions?
They called him the perfect horse. You couldn’t pick him apart.
He was built to perfection. And his copper coat was astounding in the sun.
Everyone that knew him said, Secretariat commanded attention.
He knew he was all that. They even called him a ‘ham’ in front of photographers.
And, when he lost, he would sulk in his stall – and think.
He’d always win by a record after he lost.

The X-factor
Born on March 30, 1970, his distinctive features were his three white socks
and a big white blaze on his face. Secretariat had a Big Heart (two and a half
times larger than a regular horse) – due to a rare genetic mutation.
This particular gene is often dubbed as X-factor because the gene is
located on the X-chromosome. Genetically, he was well-disposed.

His parents were Bold Ruler (his sire) and Somethingroyal (his dam),
daughter to Princequillo (a thoroughbred Ireland born horse known
for his successful stints in long-distance races and his ability to sire
many strong successors). Since the gene sits on X-chromosome,
Somethingroyal who foaled the champion passed on the genetic
trait to her son.

More than anything else, the big heart gene link can be traced back to the 1830’s.
It is said that 1837 born Pocahontas had been the prime source of large heart gene
that passed on to her progeny; for the last 180 years, this gene has been the secret
behind equine genetics and all the champion racers of today.

The heart of Secretariat was two and a half times the size of a regular horse.
It weighed a massive 22 lbs. (Approx.10 kg). A large heart has the capacity to increase strength and stamina. Secretariat’s stamina was due to a tremendous cardiovascular system; as if 4 big engines pumped together to win the race. Many other physical factors contributed to his victory (like his muscular build) but the big heart catapulted the agile movements of an equine athlete.

Immense track record

Till date, no other racehorse could match Secretariat’s track record.
The legend started with a fourth spot but good performances sat easy on him.
He debuted on the 4th of July in 1972. The same year he won 7 of the 9 races,
earning him the most coveted Horse of the Year award.
The path-breaking Triple Crown win that turned him into a legend was finished
in less than two minutes, thereby also setting an all-time high Derby record
(he clocked a Derby time of 1:59:40).
He beat Twice A Prince by an astounding 31 lengths in the 1973 Belmont Stakes.
Even his loss at Champagne Stakes was actually a win, disqualified to the second
spot for interference.
He turned into an instant sensation and till date, he is remembered & admired by many.
Apart from Triple Crown wins, the thunderous horse leapt to several memorable wins in

Secretariat, the handsome chestnut racehorse was close to a few privileged people.
Two names of repute include Penny Chenery – the breeder and owner & Ron Turcotte – his jockey. Penny Chenery bred Secretariat at her family-owned Meadow Stable in the American state of Virginia. Her father Christopher Chenery’s death led her to take on the reins of the business and she went on to create history with the birth of a racing legend. Chenery had an aptitude for business.

With all heart put in, she revived the Meadow Stable – had horse sense and her famous words quoted in a 2015 interview – “I love horses and I loved my dad” her famous words quoted in a 2015 interview – “I love horses and I loved my dad” – justify once more why she could take effective decisions towards breeding and training an American racehorse legend. Secretariat’s track record of producing race winners has been impressive – out of the 653 sired, 57 went on to earn the reputation as the Stakes winners.

The chestnut horse had a huge fan following and remained in the spotlight by appearing on the covers of newspapers like Time, Newsweek and Sports Illustrated. Chenery had once written to The New York Times that Secretariat was the answer for whole-hearted fun and admiration for people in America who were passing through a
state emotional downturn due to the Nixon and Watergate scandal in the early part 70’s.

Ron Turcotte is the man who rode Secretariat. He was the jockey who guided the Big Red to a historic win and Horse of the Year award at a tender age. This feat was followed by the invincible Triple Crown win. They both earned a name in history and became legendary figures. The summer of 1973 gave Ron an out-of-the-world experience when he rode a powerful, relentless horse determined to win.

He remembered how he could sense the rhythmic beating of the heart of the ‘big’ horse and the feeling of floating on air. The tale remains incomplete without naming Lucien Laurin, the trainer of the thoroughbred. Laurin was a fine jockey and a master trainer who saddled Secretariat and Sweat, the groomer who understood the temperament and need of the record making colt.

Death of a Titan:
Secretariat’s death revealed why he was ‘tremendous machine’ – YouTube
It was indeed a sad day for horse lovers when Secretariat, who symbolized brilliance with beauty, breathed his last on October 4, 1989, at the bluegrass nursery. He died of laminitis, a painful hoof disease. He was not just a horse; he was a hero who brought sensation at the racetrack for endless horse lovers.

Remembering … Sham (horseracingnation.com)
Sham spent most of his long stallion career at Spendthrift Farm, where he enjoyed a successful, but not spectacular career as a stallion, before later moving on to Walmac Farm. He sired many stakes winners, but none of his progeny would possess the great talent or the heart of their sire. It would be that great heart that eventually gave way.
On the morning of April 3, 1993, Sham was found dead in his stall, felled by a heart attack. Sham was 23.
An autopsy would reveal his heart to be about twice the normal size for a thoroughbred. Ironic or telling, only Secretariat‘s heart was found to be bigger. He may have been second to Secretariat in life, and then in death, but there should be no shame in that. Sham was a fantastic horse, who in his greatness brought out the ultimate greatness from our sport’s very best. I remember: Sham The Twilight of Greatness Part V – YouTube

Triple Crown Secretariat Still Dominate 50 years On – Bing video
On May 5, 1973, Secretariat blazed around the track in Kentucky Derby in
a record 1 minute and 59 seconds. Secretariat had an unusually large heart,
an engine that propelled him to a Triple Crown sweep 50 years ago.

The colt nicknamed Big Red remains the heartbeat of an industry that has yet to see such dominance on and off the track replicated. His name recognition, even among those who don’t follow sports, is still strong 34 years after his death, and eight of his descendants
will run in the Kentucky Derby on Saturday, including.
Secretariat: The Triple Crown Experience – YouTube

Champions Day at Churchill Downs is dedicated to Secretariat’s record-breaking
win of the Triple Crown.  This year, Kentucky is honoring one of the greatest athletes
of all time. “He’s still the bar to me,” said Bob Baffert, who also trained Triple Crown
winners American Pharoah in 2015 and Justify in 2018. “I still ask strangers,
‘Who’s the best horse you ever heard of?’ and I’m hoping they say Pharoah.
They say Secretariat.” Preakness and Belmont in record times that still stand
and ended a 25-year Triple Crown drought.

“It says he was beautifully prepared for each of those races, and his competition was not
as good as he was,” said Dave Johnson, track announcer for the 1973 Belmont in which Secretariat won by an astounding 31 lengths. “He was a special animal.” Big Red’s path
to Triple Crown glory began in the Derby. He was the first horse to cover the 1 1/4-mile distance in under 2 minutes with a time of 1:59.40. It would not be repeated until Monarchos clocked 1:59.97 in 2001.

Secretariat’s rival, Sham, led for the majority of the thrilling contest. Big Red, however, promptly narrowed the gap in the finishing stretch & surpassed the leader in the Derby’s final moments with a two and a half length win. Secretariat’s recorded time was a world record. While there have been 148 victors of the Kentucky Derby throughout history,
only two of these winners have officially completed the race in under two minutes.

RELATED: How to watch the 2023 Kentucky Derby: TV channel, live stream
It is commonly believed Sham cracked the two-minute race time in the 1973 Derby
alongside Secretariat, but only the number of the first-place finisher was officially recorded at that time in history.
The other Thoroughbred to have completed the Derby under the two-minute mark was Monarchos. The 3-year-old and his jockey, Jorge Chavez, finished the 2001 Kentucky Derby in just 1:59.97.

Secretariat FACT VS FICTION – YouTube
What other records did Secretariat break?
Aside from posting the fastest Derby time in history,
Big Red still holds a number of records in American horse racing.
At the age of three, Secretariat set the record in each of the
Triple Crown races, achieving the following times:
Kentucky Derby – 1:59 2/5
Preakness Stakes – 1:53
Belmont Stakes – 2:24
The infamous horse was named the ninth American Triple Crown winner
in history, and each of his Triple Crown records still stand to this day.

Two weeks later, Secretariat broke out of the starting gate. Jockey Ron Turcotte
made a split-second decision in the first turn to swing Big Red to the outside in
a rush to the front. They won by 2 1/2 lengths over Sham, who had also finished
second in the Derby. “I could make five, six moves with him in a race.
A normal horse you could make one or two,” Turcotte told The Associated Press
by phone from his home in Canada. “Down the lane I never asked him to run.”

Secretariat just galloped to the wire very easily.”
The Pimlico track’s timing device showed Secretariat clocked 1:55 for 1 3/16 miles,
but it had malfunctioned. It wasn’t until 2012, at request, that the Maryland Racing Commission reviewed the video and revised his time to 1:53, another track record. Secretariat’s popularity exploded in the three weeks leading up to . He became a pop culture phenomenon, appearing on the covers of Time and Newsweek while helping distract a nation dragged down by Watergate and the Vietnam War.

“He had just about everything,” Turcotte said. “He was a good-looking horse,
he was a very strong horse, had a long stride that covered a lot of ground, a very
cooperative and generous horse. He would give you whatever you asked of him.”
In the Belmont, Secretariat was the 1-10 favorite in the grueling 1 1/2-mile race
against just four rivals, including Sham who was back for another try.

Secretariat went to the early lead along the rail and was soon challenged by Sham,
ridden by Laffit Pincay Jr. The two horses were even through a 1/2 mile at a blistering
pace in what became a match race with the rest of the field about 10 lengths behind.
Sham poked his head in front around the turn, but soon weakened. Secretariat began distancing himself from the field. He ran the mile in 1:34.20 and reeled off 1 1/4 miles
in 1:59, faster than his record time in the Derby.

Big Red completed the last quarter in a scant 25 seconds.
He finished in 2:24, his third record in as many races. “The Belmont was such a magnificent display of speed and stamina,” recalled Johnson, Sham was injured
and finished last. He never raced again. Secretariat’s legend has only endured.
He had his own U.S. stamp and was the subject of a 2010 Disney movie.
“He was a beautiful horse,” said Pincay, now 76 and retired in 2003.
“You never saw him do anything stupid. Some horses jump down
and get nervous. He was very businesslike.”

Secretariat’s heart — which a 1989 necropsy found weighed 22 pounds, compared
to 8 1/2 pounds for the average horse — was the basis for an Audi car commercial
in 2017. “He could turn air to oxygen much faster than another horse could,”
Turcotte said. And on the 50th anniversary of his history-making triumph,
Secretariat is being given another round of celebration.

The Kentucky Derby Museum is featuring “Secretariat: America’s Horse,”
a new exhibit that uses technology to show how his physique helped make him
such a standout. His three Triple Crown victories can be viewed on a 10-foot wall.

People Behind Secretariat – Bing video

The National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame is taking a traveling exhibit
to the Triple Crown cities of Louisville, Kentucky, Baltimore and New York —
as well as Secretariat’s birth state of Virginia.
The exhibit features his Triple Crown trophies and the story of the people who
guided him. Turcotte is the lone remaining member of Secretariat’s team.
Chenery, his owner, died in 2017 at age 95; trainer Lucien Laurin died in 2000;
died in 1998; and exercise rider Charlie Davis died in 2018.

Bill Nack, the former Sports Illustrated writer who closely chronicled Big Red’s career,
also died in 2018. Turcotte, 81, became a paraplegic after a riding accident in 1978.
He travels less these days while caring for his wife in his tiny hometown of Drummond, New Brunswick, where there’s a statue of him and Secretariat crossing the finish line. “There’s never been a horse like him,” Turcotte said, “I doubt there will be another one.”

In 2015, on his way to the Belmont winner’s circle for American Pharoah in 2015,
Baffert shared a celebratory embrace with Chenery. “I whispered in her ear,
‘He’s no Secretariat, but he’s as close as I’ll ever get,’” the Hall of Fame trainer said.
“You’re damn right,” she replied.

We need a plan for humane immigration after Title 42 ends © Provided by The Hill

Colombia cancels flights returning migrants from US, cites mistreatment.
On May 11, the pandemic public health emergency will end and with it, the use of
Title 42. While the Trump administration launched Title 42 as a “temporary” measure to supposedly prevent the spread of COVID-19, it was used instead as a blunt enforcement tool to expel migrants, including families, children and legitimate asylum seekers from the United States. Sadly, Title 42 will leave much human suffering in its wake, and yet, it has not strengthened our asylum system or border management.
Latinos, like all Americans, expect that our government will effectively manage our borders and thoroughly vet those who seek to enter as refugees, to join family or for work. Our community does not support open borders, nor do we tolerate seeing children in danger, families separated and detained or people suffering. We want a functioning immigration system that is humane, efficient and secure.

The federal government has taken some constructive steps that help ease the strain on the border. The Biden administration has moved to restore public and private partnerships to stimulate investments, job growth and community stability in Central America. Such regional cooperation gets in front of what drives people to leave their countries in the first place. We also support the administration’s parole program, which allows migrants from certain countries to come legally to the U.S. for humanitarian reasons.
This eases the amount of vetting that happens on our southern border; it’s also far safer for people to come with a visa than a smuggler. These efforts still fall short, however, of addressing our border challenges, much less when Title 42 ends. Aware of this, the Biden administration proposed an asylum rule that would encourage people to seek refuge closer to home and to enter the U.S. at our southern border with an appointment using a smartphone app.

UnidosUS. supports such efforts to help refugees avoid the dangerous journey north
or to enter the U.S. in a legal and orderly manner, we strongly oppose the asylum rule.
The heart of our objections to the Biden asylum policy is that what the administration
touts as incentives will in fact significantly limit access to asylum.
The rule, paired with the Department of Homeland Security’s plan to swiftly expel migrants under Title 8 and to deploy 1,500 troops on the border, will result in denying refuge to the most vulnerable migrants, including families with children.
It’s also unclear if the incentives will work. Ongoing monitoring is needed to ensure meaningful access to asylum in transit countries and vigorous improvements of the CBP One app are critical, given its reported and significant problems. In the end, refugees will be returned to life-threatening danger in their home countries, and this is the asylum rule’s fatal flaw.

While there are no quick fixes to the humanitarian challenges on our southern border — thanks to restrictionists in Congress who have obstructed bipartisan immigration reform for decades — there are solutions. The Menendez Plan, proposed by Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) offers pragmatic and forward-looking solutions to manage migration and refugees in the Americas and secure our borders.
Instead of severely limiting asylum access, the administration should invest deeper
in hemispheric cooperation and further expand avenues for humanitarian migration.
We also need to strengthen our asylum processes, which require an integrated system of multi-agency reception facilities, legal services and representation, trained adjudicators and well-resourced court proceedings that timely move asylum cases forward while protecting due process.

For this, the government needs the resources.
We call on Congress to fund the above-mentioned solutions to restore fairness to the asylum process, improve humanitarian conditions at the border and ensure communities have the resources they need to welcome newcomers. Doing so will provide a path forward for members of Congress serious about addressing the dire humanitarian situation on the border and hold accountable anti-immigrant lawmakers who just want to take selfies here.
President Biden took office after campaigning on a pledge to use more humane immigration policies than his predecessor. Creating incentives to reduce irregular migration, investing in border resources to respond to humanitarian migration and increasing funding for legal services and community-based organizations that support asylum seekers is the right approach and consistent with his promises.

Police: 1 dead, 4 injured after shooting in Atlanta hospital; suspect apprehended.
The 24-year-old man suspected of fatally shooting one woman and injuring four others inside a waiting room at a hospital in Atlanta before carjacking a vehicle and fleeing the scene was apprehended Wednesday evening after an hours-long search, police said.

The Atlanta Police Department confirmed the suspect, Deion Patterson, was apprehended in Cobb County. He was booked at Fulton County Jail and faces one charge of murder and four counts of aggravated assault, jail records show. Police received a call of shots fired on the 11th floor of Northside Hospital’s Midtown location just after noon Wednesday, Atlanta Police Chief Darin Schierbaum said in a news conference.

Patterson had an appointment at the facility and started shooting
in the waiting area, Atlanta Deputy Chief of Investigations Charles Hampton said.
He exited the building after only a couple minutes and went on foot to a nearby gas station, where he commandeered a pickup truck that had been left unattended and
left the area, Hampton said. Law enforcement later located the truck. Hampton
said after the arrest that the handgun Patterson used was recovered.

The hours-long investigation, which officials said was at times chaotic:

Included tips from community members and information given by Patterson’s family members. Cobb County Police Chief Stuart VanHoozer said license plate-surveillance cameras and other technology was instrumental in the search. Several law enforcement agencies were involved, including Atlanta and Cobb County police, the FBI and U.S.

The Secret Service was involved in the search, Schierbaum said.
Police had lifted a shelter-in-place advisory for midtown Atlanta earlier Wednesday afternoon but advised community members to avoid the area and remain alert.
“We’ve had a successful end to a traumatic day. Today is a day that we can go home
and rest easy that the individual that caused harm in our community is under arrest,”
Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens said.

Nikita Rapoport, who attends Savannah College of Art and Design, told USA TODAY
he lives in the apartment building across from the hospital and was told to stay inside
after the shooting. “I expected Midtown to be safe. It’s one of the reasons why I chose
this building,” he said. “Apparently it’s not.”

Woman killed in the shooting was a CDC employee.
The woman killed in the shooting was identified by the Fulton County medical examiner’s office as Amy St. Pierre; She was an employee with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, spokesperson Benjamin Haynes confirmed to USA TODAY.

Midtown Atlanta shooting. Our hearts are with her family, friends, and colleagues
as they remember her and grieve this tragic loss,” Haynes said in a statement.

Suspect spotted in Cobb County after shooting.
Officials in Cobb County said the suspect was believed to have been in Cobb County
about 10 miles away soon after the shooting. “We actually went back and did discover
that the vehicle had entered Cobb County,” Cobb County Sgt. Wayne Delk said at
a press conference.

Delk said the suspect was seen at about 12:30 p.m. on a surveillance camera but Cobb County police didn’t review the footage until about 2:30 p.m. There had been no other sightings of him since then, Delk said, adding that the carjacked vehicle had been recovered by Atlanta Police Department.

Three of four injured victims in critical condition
One woman, 39, died at the scene, The four injured women – ages 71, 56, 39 and 25 –
were taken to a Grady Memorial Hospital, which is close to Northside Hospital’s Midtown location, Schierbaum said. Three of the four injured women were in critical condition from gunshot wounds, and one was stable, said Robert Jansen, chief medical officer at Grady Health System, in an afternoon news conference.

The most seriously injured patient was still in the operating room late Wednesday, he said. He declined to share details about the patients’ wounds. It was not immediately clear if the victims were patients or staff, Schierbaum said. Jansen said the hospital issued a call for a mass casualty event and had multiple surgeons and trauma staff in the trauma bay within minutes, anticipating up to 12 patients. Northside Hospital said it would be closed on Thursday, and all appointments were canceled.

Police arrest suspect in fatal mass shooting at Atlanta medical center (msn.com)
Police say that they are investigating an “active shooter situation” in a building in
Atlanta’s Midtown neighborhood and that multiple people had been injured.
Atlanta schools cleared to release students Several Atlanta Public Schools
were locked down after the shooting. By Wednesday afternoon, the district announced
it had received the green light from law enforcement to release students from all schools.
“Out of an abundance of caution, we have dispatched officers at every school for today’s dismissal,” the district said in a statement, telling parents and guardians to expect transportation delays.

Who is Deion Patterson, the man charged in Midtown Atlanta’s mass shooting?
The shooting suspect entered the U.S. Coast Guard in 2018 and was discharged from active duty in January, according to a statement from the branch, which said it is working closely with law enforcement in the investigation. “The Coast Guard is aware of the tragic incident in Atlanta allegedly involving Mr. Deion Patterson. Our deepest sympathies are with the victims and their families,” the Coast Guard said.

Patterson’s mother, Minyone Patterson, police said had accompanied her son to the medical office, told The Associated Press by phone that her son had “some mental instability going on” from medication he received from the Veterans Affairs health system that he began taking on Friday. She said her son had wanted Ativan to deal with anxiety and depression but that the VA wouldn’t give it to him because they said it would be “too addicting.” She’s a nurse and said she told them he would only have taken the proper dosage “because he listened to me in every way.”

“Those families, those families,” she said, starting to sob. “They’re hurting because they wouldn’t give my son his damn Ativan. Those families lost loved ones because he had
a mental break because they wouldn’t listen to me.” She ended the call without saying what medication her son had been taking. Warnock: ‘None of us are safe’ Georgia Sen. Raphael Warnock said on the Senate floor Wednesday that his two children’s schools
were placed on lockdown as police searched for the suspect.

“They are there. I’m here, hoping and praying that they are safe.
The truth is none of us is safe,” Warnock said. ‘Frightening trend’ Deadly assaults on
US medical workers on the rise. Warnock called on lawmakers to act on gun violence and condemned gun lobbyists. He said it was “deeply upsetting” that the shooting happened in a medical building where health care workers and first responders working to keep people safe. “This happened in a medical facility where people are trying to find healing,” he said.

as “post-apocalyptic” on Thursday as more businesses flee the crime-infested city.
“So many stores shuttered in downtown SF,” Musk tweeted. “Feels post-apocalyptic.”
GREG GUTFELD: Crime-ridden cities all have one thing in common (msn.com)

NORDSTROM CLOSES SAN FRANCISCO LOCATIONS DUE TO ‘DYNAMICS’ OF AREA:
Musk, who operates Twitter from the company’s San Francisco headquarters, made the comment in response to a thread regarding the closure of Nordstrom’s two locations in the city. The San Francisco Centre and Market Street Rack locations will close their doors in the coming months, according to a memo from Chief Stores Officer Jamie Nordstrom to employees.

“We’ve spent more than 35 years serving customers in downtown San Francisco,
building relationships with them and investing in the local community,” the memo read.
“But as many of you know, the dynamics of the downtown San Francisco market have changed dramatically over the past several years, impacting customer foot traffic to our stores and our ability to operate successfully.”

The owner of the Westfield Mall, where the stores are located, said closings such as Nordstrom’s are symbolic of “the deteriorating situation in Downtown San Francisco.”
“[Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield] has actively engaged with city leaders for many years to express our serious concerns, which are shared by our customers and retailers,” a mall spokesperson said. “We have urged the city to find solutions to the key issues and lack of enforcement again.”

The shutting down of Nordstrom’s San Francisco locations comes on the heels of Whole Foods’s closure on Market Street and skyrocketing incidents involving vagrants, violence, and drug use across the city, according to a report.

We need a plan for humane immigration after Title 42 ends © Provided by The Hill

Colombia cancels flights returning migrants from US, cites mistreatment.
On May 11, the pandemic public health emergency will end and with it, the use of
Title 42. While the Trump administration launched Title 42 as a “temporary” measure to supposedly prevent the spread of COVID-19, it was used instead as a blunt enforcement tool to expel migrants, including families, children and legitimate asylum seekers from the United States. Sadly, Title 42 will leave much human suffering in its wake, and yet, it has not strengthened our asylum system or border management.
Latinos, like all Americans, expect that our government will effectively manage our borders and thoroughly vet those who seek to enter as refugees, to join family or for work. Our community does not support open borders, nor do we tolerate seeing children in danger, families separated and detained or people suffering. We want a functioning immigration system that is humane, efficient and secure.

The federal government has taken some constructive steps that help ease the strain on the border. The Biden administration has moved to restore public and private partnerships to stimulate investments, job growth and community stability in Central America. Such regional cooperation gets in front of what drives people to leave their countries in the first place. We also support the administration’s parole program, which allows migrants from certain countries to come legally to the U.S. for humanitarian reasons.
This eases the amount of vetting that happens on our southern border; it’s also far safer for people to come with a visa than a smuggler. These efforts still fall short, however, of addressing our border challenges, much less when Title 42 ends. Aware of this, the Biden administration proposed an asylum rule that would encourage people to seek refuge closer to home and to enter the U.S. at our southern border with an appointment using a smartphone app.

UnidosUS. supports such efforts to help refugees avoid the dangerous journey north
or to enter the U.S. in a legal and orderly manner, we strongly oppose the asylum rule.
The heart of our objections to the Biden asylum policy is that what the administration
touts as incentives will in fact significantly limit access to asylum.
The rule, paired with the Department of Homeland Security’s plan to swiftly expel migrants under Title 8 and to deploy 1,500 troops on the border, will result in denying refuge to the most vulnerable migrants, including families with children.
It’s also unclear if the incentives will work. Ongoing monitoring is needed to ensure meaningful access to asylum in transit countries and vigorous improvements of the CBP One app are critical, given its reported and significant problems. In the end, refugees will be returned to life-threatening danger in their home countries, and this is the asylum rule’s fatal flaw.

While there are no quick fixes to the humanitarian challenges on our southern border — thanks to restrictionists in Congress who have obstructed bipartisan immigration reform for decades — there are solutions. The Menendez Plan, proposed by Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) offers pragmatic and forward-looking solutions to manage migration and refugees in the Americas and secure our borders.
Instead of severely limiting asylum access, the administration should invest deeper
in hemispheric cooperation and further expand avenues for humanitarian migration.
We also need to strengthen our asylum processes, which require an integrated system of multi-agency reception facilities, legal services and representation, trained adjudicators and well-resourced court proceedings that timely move asylum cases forward while protecting due process.

For this, the government needs the resources.
We call on Congress to fund the above-mentioned solutions to restore fairness to the asylum process, improve humanitarian conditions at the border and ensure communities have the resources they need to welcome newcomers. Doing so will provide a path forward for members of Congress serious about addressing the dire humanitarian situation on the border and hold accountable anti-immigrant lawmakers who just want to take selfies here.
President Biden took office after campaigning on a pledge to use more humane immigration policies than his predecessor. Creating incentives to reduce irregular migration, investing in border resources to respond to humanitarian migration and increasing funding for legal services and community-based organizations that support asylum seekers is the right approach and consistent with his promises.

Police: 1 dead, 4 injured after shooting in Atlanta hospital; suspect apprehended.
The 24-year-old man suspected of fatally shooting one woman and injuring four others inside a waiting room at a hospital in Atlanta before carjacking a vehicle and fleeing the scene was apprehended Wednesday evening after an hours-long search, police said.

The Atlanta Police Department confirmed the suspect, Deion Patterson, was apprehended in Cobb County. He was booked at Fulton County Jail and faces one charge of murder and four counts of aggravated assault, jail records show. Police received a call of shots fired on the 11th floor of Northside Hospital’s Midtown location just after noon Wednesday, Atlanta Police Chief Darin Schierbaum said in a news conference.

Patterson had an appointment at the facility and started shooting
in the waiting area, Atlanta Deputy Chief of Investigations Charles Hampton said.
He exited the building after only a couple minutes and went on foot to a nearby gas station, where he commandeered a pickup truck that had been left unattended and
left the area, Hampton said. Law enforcement later located the truck. Hampton
said after the arrest that the handgun Patterson used was recovered.

The hours-long investigation, which officials said was at times chaotic:

Included tips from community members and information given by Patterson’s family members. Cobb County Police Chief Stuart VanHoozer said license plate-surveillance cameras and other technology was instrumental in the search. Several law enforcement agencies were involved, including Atlanta and Cobb County police, the FBI and U.S.

The Secret Service was involved in the search, Schierbaum said.
Police had lifted a shelter-in-place advisory for midtown Atlanta earlier Wednesday afternoon but advised community members to avoid the area and remain alert.
“We’ve had a successful end to a traumatic day. Today is a day that we can go home
and rest easy that the individual that caused harm in our community is under arrest,”
Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens said.

Nikita Rapoport, who attends Savannah College of Art and Design, told USA TODAY
he lives in the apartment building across from the hospital and was told to stay inside
after the shooting. “I expected Midtown to be safe. It’s one of the reasons why I chose
this building,” he said. “Apparently it’s not.”

Liberal Imperialism

Posted on May 4, 2023 by Ken

Hardened by truth and free from lies. #MAGA #Freedom

The Canary Effect is a powerful film that depicts the devastating impact that US policies had on the indigenous people of America. The title explains workers in mines would take canaries down with them into the shaft in order to test for lethal gases.

The Liberal Imperialists were a faction within the British Liberal Party around
1900 regarding the policy toward the British Empire. They supported the Second Boer War which most Liberals opposed, and wanted the Empire ruled on a more benevolent basis. The most prominent members were R. B. Haldane, H. H. Asquith, Sir Edward Grey and Lord Rosebery.^[1]

Beliefs
The Liberal Imperialists believed that under the leadership of William Ewart Gladstone the Liberal Party had succumbed to “faddists”, sectional interests,
and the “Celtic fringe” which prevented it from being a truly national party.^[2]
Furthermore, the Liberal Party should include people of all classes, along with
promoting working-class in the Liberal Party.^[3]
They also argued that the Liberals had lost the centre vote because the party had
distanced itself from “the new Imperial spirit”.^[4] Instead, they argued for a “clean slate”,
that the Liberal Party must change if it is to succeed. The old, classical Liberalism must
give way to the new ideas of “National Efficiency” and imperialism.^[5]

Abalone Kid
All glory to the Lord of Glory! AMEN!
THE ANGELS GIVE GLORY TO GOD IN HEAVEN! HERE WE HEAR AND
SEE EARTH “ANGELS” DOING IT TOO! RIGHT HERE! JUST LIKE YOU!

Maranatha! He comes for His bride! When? When the last Christian is saved
(Romans 11:25) and the bride of Christ is complete. John 14:3; Titus 2:11-15.
We are to share the Gospel as our Lord and Savior asked of us before he went
back to Heaven. Mark 16:15. When the last Christian is saved Jesus will call us
UP to His side above Earth and will take us home to His Father’s house and
we will be fully sanctified in this process by God the Holy Spirit!

WE WILL BE HOLY! NO MORE SIN NATURE.
Otherwise we cannot enter Heaven.
To Know Jesus Christ! That is our greatest blessing in life. John 3:16-17.
Thank you, beloved. We are blessed by your PRAISE ministry.

WE LOVE YOU, LORD!
YOU GAVE ALL FOR US. YOUR SUFFERING WAS IMMENSE!
YOU ARE OUR LIFE SAVIOR. YOU KEEP YOUR WORD IN THE BIBLE.
WE GIVE YOU ALL THE GLORY!

GOD’S BLESSINGS TO ALL NATIONS AND PEOPLES
Gospel! The good news about Jesus Christ and salvation from judgment on our sins. Jesus dined with His disciples; Mark 14:22-25, the night before He went to the cross. Jesus and His disciples were eating a Passover meal together at the Last Supper. After partaking of bread and wine (His body and His blood) , the Bible mentions the hymn Jesus sang with His disciples. “And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives” Mark 14:26. What were they singing on such an occasion? PRAISE! Psalms 113-118.

THE GOOD NEWS
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth,
and the life: no man comes to the father, but by me.” John 14.6
Blood coming from his body, NAKED, hanging on that cross like Roman torture weapon! What a Lord God and Savior! He had to. HE is God the Son. Only His sinless blood could pay our sins price.1 John 2:1-2. The Savior was born to die for our sins so we could live through Him. He lives to make intercession for us by His blood in Heaven!
See also 1 John 1:5-10 & Romans 5:8 below.

>>> God knew your praise ministry before the world was made! Ephesians 1:1-14.
Prayer goes out for you and those here. A CROWN in Heaven awaits all who share
the Gospel of Jesus Christ that saves a soul. (see “JESUS SAVES”)
1 Thessalonians 2:19-20; Philippians 4:1. The Apostle Paul said in Romans 1:16
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto
salvation to everyone that believes; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek”.

This praise resounds throughout the earth:
“Jesus Christ is Lord and God. Only He saves”. He testified:
”I and my father are One” John 10:30 2 Samuel chapter 22: verse 50.
“Therefore, I will praise you, O Lord, out of the countries, and I will praise your name.”

JESUS SAVES
God the Son (Jesus Christ) has given us the gospel to share with the world. Mark 16:15:
“And He said unto them, Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.”
How can we hear it? Scripture tells us. Romans 10:17 “Then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” (We receive the “word” in many ways. The “Word” is Jesus Christ!); John 1:1-5. God the Holy Spirit teaches through the Word of God in the Bible.

The Birth of Jesus Christ
Isaiah 7: 14: “Therefore the LORD shall give you a sign; behold,
a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and call His name Immanuel.” Hebrew: עִמָּנוּאֵל,
“God with us” in human flesh but without sin. The Savior of the world was born to die
for our sins! He did so 33 years later. His terrible ordeal: body mutilated; blood poured out, finally died (John 19:30; Luke 23:46) and was placed in a tomb and rose from the dead the 3rd day! “HE IS RISEN” Matthew 28: 6.

Isaiah 53:” 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our
iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; with his stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.”

– IT IS FOUNDED UPON GOD’S LOVE FOR MAN AND WOMAN HE CREATED
John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” Romans 3: 23
“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life
through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:23

“1 Corinthians 15: 3 “For I delivered unto you first of all that
which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures.
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:”

THE PAYMENT BY HIS BLOOD FOR ALL SINS EVER!
Romans 5:8 ” But God demonstrates his love for us, in that while we were still sinners,
Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, now justified by his blood, we will be saved from wrath through him.” “For he (God) hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin;
that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” 2 Corinthians 5:21.

” In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins,
according to the riches of his grace;.” Ephesians 1:7; 1 Peter 1:18-19.
Matthew 26: 28 “For this is my blood of the New Testament, which is shed
for many for the remission of sins.” (Life is in the blood. He had to pay with His life)
“And according to the Law, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood,
and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.” Hebrews 9:22

BY GOD’S GRACE THROUGH FAITH ALONE IN JESUS CHRIST ARE WE SAVED.
Ephesians 2:8 “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves:
it is the gift of God: 9 not of works, lest any man should boast.”

Jesus died and paid the penalty for our sins to rescue us from eternal death.
He died on our behalf. We believe in Him, trusting His death and shedding
His blood as payment for ALL our sins and His burial and resurrection from
the dead the third day! John 20:24-31; 1 Corinthians 15: 3-4 above.

WHOSOEVER BELIEVES SHALL TESTIFY TO THE TRUTH
Romans 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your
heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 10:11
As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.” 12 For there is also no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

TO DIE IN SEPERATION OF JESUS CHRIST IS TO REJECT SALVATION

AND BE SEPARATE FROM GOD FOREVERMORE!!!
Salvation and forgiveness of sins is the blessing of anyone who believes in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. We receive the baptism of God the Holy Spirit immediately which seals us in Christ and that is permanent! Ephesians 1:13-14. Those who reject the free gift of salvation, see John 3:16 above, “perish”, which means their sins are judged by God the Son and they suffer eternal separation from God and the family of God forever called the “second death”. Revelation 21:8

“Therefore, being justified by faith,
we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” Romans 5: 1

I still love my democrat friends and family but, you see it your way and I see it mine.
You saw Trump’s arrogance; I saw Trump’s confidence. You saw Trump’s nationalism;
I saw Trump’s patriotism. You heard Trump’s unsophisticated words; I heard Trump’s honesty. You saw Trump’s racism; I saw Trump’s words being misconstrued and twisted by the media daily to fit their narrative.
You saw Trump as a Republican; I saw Trump as a Patriot. You saw Trump as a dictator,
I saw Trump as a leader. You saw Trump as an Authoritarian; I saw Trump as the one
willing to fight for our freedoms. You saw Trump as childish; I saw Trump as a fighter, unwilling to cave to lies. You saw Trump as an unpolished politician, I saw Trump as a breath of fresh air.

You believe Trump hates immigrants; I know Trump married an immigrant.
You saw Trump putting an end to immigration in America, I saw Trump welcoming immigrants to America LEGALLY. You saw Trump’s cages at the border, I saw Obama’s cages at the border. You saw Trump with a struggling economy, I saw Trump with an amazing economy until Democrats shut it down. You saw violence in the streets and called it “Trump’s America”, I saw violence in the streets of Democrat-run cities who refused Trump’s help and who called the violence “Liberal America.” You wanted someone more “Presidential”, I’m happy we had someone who finally didn’t just talk the talk but actually.
We walked the walk. You and I? We see things very differently. GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Australian Gun Law Update;
Here’s a thought to warm some of your hearts….
From: Ed Chenel, A police officer in Australia!

AUSTRALIA: MORE VIOLENT CRIME DESPITE GUN BAN.
Hi Yanks, I thought you all would like to see the real figures from Down Under. It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were forced by a new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by our own government, a program costing Australia taxpayers more than $500 million dollars.

The first year results are now in:
Australia-wide, homicides are up 6.2 percent,
Australia-wide, assaults are up 9.6 percent;
Australia-wide, armed robberies are up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent)!
In the state of Victoria…..alone, homicides with firearms are now up 300 percent.
(Note that while the law-abiding citizens turned them in, the criminals did not and criminals still possess their guns!)
While figures over the previous 25 years showed a steady decrease in armed robbery with firearms, this has changed drastically upward in the past 12 months, since the criminals now are guaranteed that their prey is unarmed.

There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the elderly, while the resident is at home.
Australian politicians are at a loss to explain how public safety has decreased, after such monumental effort and expense was expended in ‘successfully ridding Australian society of guns….’You won’t see this on the American evening news or hear your governor or members of the State Assembly disseminating this information.

The Australian experience speaks for itself. Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws affect only the law-abiding citizens.

Republicans warn of border ‘nightmare’ when US ends Covid controls.
Republicans warned Wednesday of “chaos” and a “nightmare” at the US-Mexico border next week when the government lifts Covid-19 rules used to block most migrants for the past three years. “May 11 is a nightmare day for the American people, particularly people in New Mexico and Texas,” said Senator Lindsey Graham. “What’s going to happen is that the Biden administration is going to repeal the use of Title authority to expel people,” he said.

He predicted the elimination of Title 42,
to be replaced by a different enforcement mechanism known as Title 8, will lead to a doubling of attempts by undocumented migrants to enter the country from Mexico, overwhelming border authorities. “In the next 90 days, you’re going to (see) from 900,000 to 1.1 million” migrants crossing the border, Graham predicted in a press conference.

Graham and other Republican senators urged President Joe Biden to retain Title 42, a public health emergency measure, even though the government is ending other Covid-era control measures like requiring foreign arrivals to be vaccinated. “America is under siege here,” Graham said. “I’ve asked Democrats to join the effort to not repeal Title 42 on May 11. It’s been used 2.3 million times to expel people who came here illegally,” he said.

The Biden administration announced Tuesday it was mobilizing 1,500 more troops to help monitor and manage the migrant flow — in addition to 2,500 already in place — in anticipation of a surge of crossings after May 11. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas also plans to visit the Texas border area on Thursday and Friday to review preparations for lifting title 42.

The administration has warned that unlike Title 42, Title 8 will mean undocumented migrants detained inside the United States will face legal penalties that will render them ineligible to come to the country legally. Meanwhile the administration is stepping up paths for legal migrants like asylum seekers, including a smartphone app, CPB One, for setting up an interview with immigration authorities.

The government also said last week it was setting up processing centers for hopeful migrants in other countries — starting with Colombia and Guatemala. Canada and Spain have agreed to take in some of those who are cleared for emigration by the processing centers, US officials said.

Immigration news – Search (bing.com)

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. and Mexican officials have agreed on new immigration policies meant to deter illegal border crossings while also opening up other pathways ahead of an expected increase in migrants following the end of pandemic restrictions next week. Homeland Security adviser Liz Sherwood-Randall spent Tuesday meeting with Mexico President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador and other top officials, emerging with a five-point plan, according to statements from both nations.
Under the agreement, Mexico will continue to accept migrants from Venezuela, Haiti, Cuba and Nicaragua who are turned away at the border, and up to 100,000 individuals from Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador who have family in the U.S. will be eligible to live and work there. Despite sharing a 1,951-mile border with the U.S., Mexico had been notably absent from the rollout last week of a fresh set of efforts, including the creation of hubs outside the United States where migrants could go to apply to legally settle in the U.S., Spain or Canada.

The first centers will open in Guatemala and Colombia.
The COVID-19 restrictions have allowed U.S. officials to turn away tens of thousands of migrants crossing the southern border, but those restrictions will lift May 11, and border officials are bracing for a surge. Even with the restrictions, the administration has seen record numbers of people crossing the border, and President Joe Biden has responded by cracking down on those who cross illegally and by creating new avenues meant as alternatives to a dangerous and often deadly journey.
Mexico’s support is critical to any push by the U.S. to clamp down at the southern border, particularly as migrants from nations from as far away as Haiti are making the trek on foot up through Mexico, and are not easily returned back to their home countries. With Mexico now behind the U.S., plus an announcement Tuesday that 1,500 active-duty U.S. troops are deploying south for administrative support, and other crackdown measures in place, border officials believe they may be able to manage overcrowding and other possible issues that might arise once the COVID-19 restrictions end.

Biden, who announced his Democratic reelection campaign a week ago, is trying to signal his administration is making a serious effort to tamp down the number of illegal crossings, which has been a potent source of Republican attacks. He also is trying to send a message to potential border crossers not to attempt the journey. But the effort also draws potentially unwelcome comparisons to Biden’s Republican predecessor, Donald Trump, whose policies Biden frequently criticized. Congress, meanwhile, has refused to take any substantial immigration-related actions.

The U.S. will continue to turn away Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans who cross illegally. Mexico said Tuesday it would continue to accept up to 30,000 migrants per month from the four countries that are making up a ballooning share of the overall illegal border crossings, with no easy way to quickly return migrants to their home countries. According to data on asylum seekers in Mexico, people from Haiti remained at the top with 18,860 so far this year, higher than the total for the whole of 2022.

Meanwhile, the U.S. is accepting 30,000 people per month from the four nations for two years and offering them the ability to legally work, as long as they come legally, have eligible sponsors and pass vetting and background checks. The administration also plans to swiftly screen migrants seeking asylum at the border itself, quickly deport those deemed as not being qualified, and penalize people who cross illegally into the U.S. or illegally move through another country on their way to the U.S. border.

In addition, 1,500 active-duty personnel will be deployed to the border area for 90 days and will be pulled from the Army and Marine Corps. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin will look to backfill those troops with National Guard or Reserve troops during that period, Pentagon spokesman Air Force Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder said. There are already 2,500 National Guard members at the border. They are not working in a law enforcement capacity, but their mere presence sends a message.

Then-President Trump deployed active-duty troops to the border to assist border patrol personnel in processing large migrant caravans, on top of National Guard forces that were already working in that capacity. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre downplayed any similarity between Biden’s immigration management and Trump’s use of troops during his term. “DOD personnel have been supporting CBP at the border for almost two decades now,” she said. “So this is a common practice.”

But some in Biden’s own party objected to the decision.
“The Biden administration’s militarization of the border is unacceptable,” said Senate Committee on Foreign Relations chair Bob Menendez, D-N.J. “There is already a humanitarian crisis in the Western Hemisphere, and deploying military personnel only signals that migrants are a threat that require our nation’s troops to contain.
Nothing could be further from the truth.” The Pentagon on Tuesday approved a request for troops made by the Department of Homeland Security, which manages the border.
As a condition for Austin’s previous approval of National Guard troops to the border through Oct. 1, Homeland Security had to agree to work with the White House and Congress to develop a plan for longer-term staffing solutions and funding shortfalls to maintain security and immigration processing without the use of Defense Department resources, Pentagon officials said.
As part of the agreement, the Pentagon has requested quarterly updates from Homeland Security on how it would staff its border mission without service members. It was not immediately clear if those updates have happened or if border officials will be able to meet their terms of the agreement — particularly under the strain of another expected migrant surge.

Ivermectin and Colon Cancer

Posted on May 3, 2023 by Ken

In this video, Ivermectin and Colon Cancer we’re talking about new research into
the potential effect of Ivermectin on Colon Cancer cells. Detailed study results: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/…

Dr. David Gersten — Amino Acid Therapy – Bing video
I’m a doctor. Cancer is an industry. New approaches are rarely appreciated by conventional medicine. IVM won a Nobel Prize for good reason. It has been widely
used in the Middle East, I think Iran. The X-rays of certain brain cancers are also
identical to parasite cysts. Worth exploring further.

Is Joe Tippens Still Cancer Free? – YouTube 69,079 views Dec 13, 2022
Dr Jones’ Free Book… http://www.veterinarysecrets.com Joe Tippens popularized
the use of Panacur for Cancer. It has been 5 years since he was able to beat cancer, but is he still cancer free? This is the cancer protocol that he used, and how it can be used with your dog or cat. You can get Fenben in 222 or 444 and you take according to your size.
222 ( I think it’s 1 gram ) is good for most. Take with you a meal.

My wife passed away from glioblastoma after having marsupialization of a hydatid
cyst a few years before on her liver. The Albendazole kept the glioma at bay for years.
The cancer stage 4 was only noticed on a scan, she passed away on the operating table
after brain swelling and herniation.

My cousin gave one of his kidneys to his daughter. Then he was diagnosed with stage
3 kidney cancer. DR wanted until stage 4 to treat it. He took IVM for something else.
A six month checkup revealed no cancer! He was afraid to tell his DR what he had done. They treated his daughter early enough to stop hers. It was a Miracle!

Curcumin in turmeric first helped my dog who got Cancer to get 2 more years. Then my friend who had a really bad prostate cancer which grew and grew despite surgery and the “traditional” Cancer treatment and he wanted to try the turmeric I made for my dog’s cancer. To my friends and to my surprise the Cancer shrunk? He was probably gonna die from this Cancer and could it have been the Turmeric who made him well?
It has been 2 years and the Cancer is still gone!

Look up the original meaning of the word virus, not the contemporary definition.
When the term was first used (Late 14th century, “poisonous substance”) it meant “toxin” or particularly a “poison.” In some languages a “poisonous fluid” (source of Sanskrit visam “venom, poison,” visah “poisonous;”) Viruses per se, have never been able to actually be replicated in a laboratory setting. Only since the invention of the electron microscope has anything been actually viewed and claimed to be the mysterious non-alive, yet somehow alive “virus”.
However, in Germany, scientists believe that it may be a case of mistaken identity and what is actually believed to be a virus is just a cell that has been poisoned and is producing exosomes (the first line of defense given by our immune system.) So possibly cancer is just a type of poisoning, possibly from our food and the American poor diet, or a Ph imbalance too acidic and not alkaline,) or poisons in the water or the environment, or something like pollution, radiation, vaccines, or pharmaceuticals, etc. I should think that parasites would emit poisons into their host.

I put my pit bull to sleep after 16 earth years of his life because
he couldn’t walk anymore. During all his life, I gave him ivermectin treatments
quarterly. He outlived all his siblings who died early in life mostly from cancer.
Not mine. So, if “it” was good enough for him, good enough for me. RIP Snoopy.

My 85-year-old, unvaccinated Mom and I had a 17-day Mexico trip planned in 2020. Yucatan, Guanajuato and Mexico City by plane and bus. For obvious reasons, I wanted to scrap these plans, and indeed they got postponed several times. Finally, in November of 2021, she had had enough. She said that if she caught the bug, so be it, but that she was tired of living scared, waiting for the end of a pandemic that might never come.
Of course, I was nervous. But she was adamant.
So, loaded with as much info as I could get my hands on, we set out. In my carry-on,
I had a large supply of vitamin D3, zinc, vitamin C, quercetin, krill oil, melatonin and IVM. Throughout the trip, we took the vitamins every evening with dinner. And the IVM twice a week. We walked, climbed steep hills, descended into mines, visited museums, cathedrals and cenotes, rode crowded buses and planes, and in general, had an absolutely amazing time. I can’t tell you how nervous I was before the trip.
But I also can hardly express my elation and sense of wonder at how it all came out. She felt great the whole time, with incredible strength, stamina and enthusiasm (for her age). It was an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime experience, filled to the brim with memories.
I am so grateful for the experience; I truly think vitamin D3 and IVM made it possible.

porridge57
@Michael Brown True, but I did have some basis for my decision to go. One of the main reasons was the Ivermectin study that took place in Brazil from July to December of 2020. Not sure why it wasn’t reported on the news, but thankfully I found it through other sources.

porridge57
@conservative1952 Yes, if you google search “Brazil ivermectin study”, you should

My friend’s father passed away just before
Christmas after a 14-month battle with pancreatic cancer.
He was originally given 6-12 weeks to live as the cancer had spread to his liver and lung. He wanted to take chemo so he completed one round and the cancer slowed down but the prognosis was the same. I talked to my friend about IVc and cancer. After some convincing his father agreed to start a small dose of IVM with his second round of chemo. His Dr laughed him out of the room and he felt stupid for asking given all the news about how useless IVM was with covid. Even without his Drs consent he took the horse paste for his second round. Low and behold after his second round Of chemo the secondary tumors were gone, and the main tumor shrunk by 30%.
His doctor of course said it’s extremely rare
that a cancer responds better to the second round of chemo.
The third round of chemo shrunk the tumour significantly again but unfortunately the fourth didn’t work as well. Approximately 14-15 months after diagnosis and five rounds of chemo he succumbed to the disease. An interesting note is the cancer never did spread or grow again. The dr thought that since the tumour was wrapped around the pancreas it likely grew in and not out. But it is quite interesting that the cancer never did grow.
Given what I know now I’d suggest at least three times the dose of IVM which is still lower than The max recommended dose and at least two months full ketogenic diet with as long a fast at the start as possible. Then see how the cancer is progressing. I believe the first round of chemo definitely helped but after that I would say it was way to much toxicity for his body to recover.

I would also suggest anyone check out Mountain Valley MD in Vancouver Canada as they have invented an injectable form of IVM – Search (bing.com) to be injected right into the tumor. Could be a game changer!

MXR24
The chemo made him worse and should have probably just stuck with IVM..
There is also a dog dewormer (Pancur_ that is known to kill many types of cancer
and pancreatic is one of them and many ppl have survived by just taking that.)

zumzum
In Thailand they routinely treat all cancer patients with anti-parasite treatments
(they have several variations) before any other treatments are begun.) In some cases,
if the patient is too advanced this treatment might be eliminated.

Iver also created a build up of ROS (Reactive Oxidative Species) in cancer cells.
This includes stuff like hydrogen peroxide. So ROS are quite deadly to cancer cells.
It does work on more than just colon cancer per other recent studies. Also take a look at fenbendazole which is very similar to Iver and is used successfully by many to treat cancer. It is working for me. The more that people know about these treatments the better. I was told that I was terminal and given 3 years. I started fenben right away and my incurable cancer has been shrinking the last 7 months. I started iver about a month ago after coming across research that talks about its effectiveness on cancer.

alan2102
Good point re ROS, and important while you are on courses of ivermectin to NOT take powerful antioxidants like NAC (N-acetylcysteine), which lower ROS. NAC is great stuff
to boost immunity and PREVENT cancer, but for ROS treatment targeting it should be avoided. Take it when OFF the Iver.

@porrige57. As an unvaxxed RN, your testimony is paramount on the efficacy of the FLCCC protocol. I’ve used it on my unvaxxed husband and myself as well as others who’ve caught the “C” virus and for prophylaxis and it’s truly a game changer. God bless you and your mom. Dana

@Mckenna D.W. Can be bought OTC in Los Algodones, across the border from Yuma. Overpriced at $1 per tab, but whatever.

@Lazarus Ramaube I am unsure about Fenben, but ivermectin should certainly be taken with meals. It needs bile for absorption, and that means fat and/or protein meal.

Bingo…Like they say, follow the money.
As we go through life, many of us will go through tough times – whether it’s an injury or an illness or both & doctors, hospitals & big pharma get very rich & should we not survive, then the mortuaries, funeral homes & cemeteries etc. get paid & handsomely, I might add Actually, the minute we receive our SS#, we pretty much become commodities.
But they would lose $$$ should they develop a cure for cancer … or cure anything else
& since this plan-demic, The Gates Foundation, Big Pharma, Hospitals & certain other individuals (who caved to pressure) made out well. But these monsters didn’t think people would catch on, they didn’t think some Drs or nurses would resist…they didn’t think of everything & allot of truth has come out & they will be found out & when that happens.

On to the Aussie
EXACTLY…..very few see this though….
I work in a hospital i see what goes on….its an eye opener!!!
I went to a doctor’s appointment and asked for this very same ivermectin / stromectol for treatment of a condition diagnosed by an optician….I had my 3 shots of tea which was a requirement for my job where he works too I might add….Well this doctor said it was not a condition and demanded my opticians name….i gave him the number and called him…he did not….nor did he prescribe the stromectol. All set in their own ways won’t look at alternatives that’s the problem…..modern medicine just dulls the symptoms but will never cure the illness….they designed it to be that way so the $ keep rolling in….Good luck with your friends ivermectin trial…

Table 1. How to calculate ivermectin dose
Note that ivermectin is available in different strengths (e.g., 3, 6 or 12 mg) and administration forms (tablets, capsules, drops, etc.). Note that tablets can be halved for more accurate dosing, while capsules cannot. How much do I weigh? What dose does the protocol say? In pounds In kilos 0.2 mg/kg: 0.3 mg/kg: 0.4 mg/kg: 0.6 mg/kg: 70-90 32-41 6-8 mg 10-12 mg 13-16 mg 19-25 mg 91-110 41-50 8-10 mg 12-15 mg 17-20 mg 25-30 mg 111-130 50-59 10-12 mg 15-18 mg 20-24 mg 30-35 mg 131-150 60-68 12-14 mg 18-20 mg 24-27 mg 36-41 mg 151-170 69-77 14-15 mg 21-23 mg 27-31 mg 41-46 mg 171-190 78-86 16-17 mg 23-26 mg 31-35 mg 47-52 mg 191-210 87-95 17-19 mg 26-29 mg 35-38 mg 52-57 mg 211-230 96-105 19-21 mg 29-31 mg 38-42 mg 58-63 mg 231-250 105-114 21-23 mg 32-34 mg 42-45 mg 63-68 mg 251-270 114-123 23-25 mg 34-37 mg 46-49 mg 68-74 mg 271-290 123-132 25-26 mg 37-40 mg 49-53 mg 74-79 mg 291-310 132-141 26-28 mg 40-42 mg 53-56 mg 79-85 mg

@Douglas Hewitt jaded with truth. There was a study done on veterinarians who vaccinated yearly. Most animals didn’t need better than 75% of the vaccinations.
When this discovery was shown at a veterinarian symposium the vets were polled to see how many would change their yearly vaccinations. 95% said they would not modify their rituals. It was money in the bank. I think sadly some/most human doctors are the same.

I would gladly ask my doctor, but over the past couple of years, I have come to have my doubts whether the advice I am receiving is the best advice available or is it what their overlords are telling them to say. Here in Australia, our government has banned doctors from prescribing Ivermectin for anything other than a very narrow list of conditions …..shame on the tyrannical bureaucrats.

Jeff Garmon
Basically the same thing here. My holistic physician recommended 15 mg. twice per week (Monday & Friday). Been taking this dose for almost 2 years with no problems.

Cancer patient: “Doctor, I’ve heard promising news about using this substance to cure cancer”
Doctor: “Well, I can’t take any risks about advising you to try it” (even though it is proven that it can do no harm to you) “for now, better leave it alone”, (Even though, patient’s cancer is growing and progressing) “they haven’t said
I can advise you to use this” (and also, we cannot risk finding out that it also prevents and cures this virus that we
are not allowed to talk about it helping)

ortcloud99
I always obey whatever my doctor says, I never think for myself and trust him blindly, so even if I am dying of cancer and there is research that it cures it, I will ignore all of that and cling to whatever my doctor says because I am weak and helpless.

Douglas Hewitt
@John Turner The AMA will never take a doctor’s license for following protocol they have made.
They can take a license for administering drugs not ok’ed for a particular procedure.
So, the sitting on hands is customary in all situations dangerous to patients once
the acceptable protocols have run their course to no avail. Ouch.

I wish you both every success with the Ivermectin treatment I would have taken the studys myself to the doctor if there had been something, anything other than chemo for my husband, I’ve seen some of the studies and it’s looking good .. Thank you for passing this info on for others to look into.
May god bless you both and also for everyone that are also treading the same pathway

I was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer. I have gotten my hands on ivermectin and taken it as a prophylactic when I am feeling like I might be getting sick
and within one day I begin to feel better. After hearing this I might try taking it on a daily basis. The chemo kills off good and bad cells. I know ivermectin has helped me. Unfortunately in my state Drs. cannot write scripts for it. Unfortunately, I won’t say where I got it.

Ivermectin horse worker saved our lives when we got really sick with Covid. As a horse owner, you have to think there must be a correlation that our horse is never sick & ivermectin. Miracle drug for sure. Btw: I was deathly sick & within 12 hours of taking Ivermectin I forgot how sick & for so long I was.
Same with my husband. We also went to Mexico in 2021 for 8 days, unvaccinated & came home healthy.

I did read the studies of Ivermectin and triple negative breast cancer as well.
Interestingly it’s applying to colon cancer too.
On triple negative it renders the cancer receptive to hormonal treatment.

Thank you for taking the time to make this very interesting video. Would love to know more about the results of your wife taking Ivermectin and its effect on her Colon Cancer.
Did she survive Colon Cancer? Since Ivermectin won the Nobel Prize for getting rid of parasites in humans and animals in 2015, which are responsible for so many problems and diseases in the human body and can be manifested by skin problems, i.e. Rosacea is thought to be caused by Demodex mites, and because other parasites like roundworms can enter the body via the skin and proliferate in the intestines of humans and animals. Is it possible that Colon Cancer is yet another disease that is caused by parasites?

I discovered a very interesting bit of info on IM.
It is used very religiously on all types of animals like cows, horses, dogs etc.
The people who use it also use it in differing ways. Some rub it on skin or ingest it
and it kills off ticks and spiders. They were doing this long before the pan issue.

This is great info about new uses of the “thing that shall not be named” (and I have been censored for mentioning it).
One reason it has such a bad rap is that it is so effective at dealing with parasites, can you imagine what it would do to a politician?

Panda Pearl
Thanks for the info! It’s important for people to know that there is a diet that has to go with this treatment. You need both to effectively treat cancer. Processed carbohydrates are cancer food. You need to ask your doctor about a no carb diet. No sugar, no doughnuts, just meat and raw whole foods.

What would a human dose of ivermectin be? – Search (bing.com)
I calculated that with Durvet horse paste, each notch supplies 4.5 mgs of ivermectin
I may try 4 days on 3 days off for a while. I was diagnosed with an extremely bad colon infection early 2021. Together with a lesion on my liver. My doctor prescribed the most powerful antibiotics I’ve ever had. I never went back for a follow-up colonoscopy and endo because of the pandemic.
I still have a little belly pain. So I guess it wouldn’t hurt to try it. The horsey kind at an ag store is all I have available.
So, I’ll try to figure out the dosage. Most ssy one click for every 50 pounds.
I got the Ivermectin for horses and dialed my weight, if you weigh 300 lbs, dial it to 300 and eat it, if you are 150 lbs, squeeze out 150 pound size, or you can squeeze out 300 lb. size and cut it in half and eat that, we overdosed our horses and nothing happened to them they were all fine, it never expires or goes bad. I took it for the virus and recovered quite nicely. Good luck.

Ralph Maddocks
Its 5- 250lb increments syringe is good for 1250lb horse we used it covid,
stomach problems which could have been parasitic since moving Philippines.

Lila Braga Check
Plunger has 100g markers on it. So if you squeeze 100g = 100 kg person
Therefore if you are 50 kg squeeze out 50g
Divide into 3 parts
Eat 1/3 with food and water.
Other parts eat 6 hours later.
The last 1/3 depends on how good you feel.
Normally I squeeze out 100 g and divide it into 3 and only use 1/3 because I feel so good afterwards I don’t need anymore!!!

Russell J
Thanks for sharing this info. I just read a piece about ivermectin and it”s great potential against certain cancers.
It shows real potential against many cancer cell lines, even glioblastoma. I hope this treatment works.
Did your Dr suggest zinc or magnesium also? It helps cells absorb; I believe.

Jerry Marnon
SAME WITH HYDROXY…NEED ZINC TO PUT IT IN THE CELLS.
A CRITICAL POINT FROM WHAT I CAN DETERMINE.

Jocelyn Fernandez
Wow, I haven’t heard of trying this for Glio!!!! I wish my brother could have given it a try .
He passed from Glioblastoma, suffered a lot along the way mostly from the chemo, even an
oncologist I watched online said chemo doesn’t cross the blood brain barrier, rendering chemo
useless in treating glioblastoma.

Bobby Childree
Vitamin C also helps cellular absorption, and D3 is a must at 5000 or 10000 IU daily.

Clan Ski
So what’s allowing for the tumor to specifically be targeted in this process? The increase in Cas makes me wonder if your cells are actually more prone to cell death.
Also would this mean is the ivermectin involved in multiple metabolic pathways? To change receptor conformations as well as to produce more proteins is a lot.
I mean a ton of questions with a lot of research left to be done … it could make certain cells age faster right? But cool information is interesting to see where it goes.

Ray Thompson
From my experience, after 3 years of chemotherapy treatment for colon cancer, I’m cured of 4th stage cancer.
I started the (2ml ) Ivermectin after the last chemo , as cancer was still present.
I rubbed on the soft inner elbow of both arms for 21 days, on going to bed.
I used 6 CBD drops to help sleep.
There were no side effects.
I used the oily veterinary one for cattle.

Sharon Ritchie
I have ivermectin both in pill form and paste. I do have a strong family history of colon cancer.

was designed to fail by only looking for people who were two weeks into the covid syndrome.

Cheryl M
@Vincent Cacciola yep, and the FDA’s current study is designed the same way… i.e. patients don’t start receiving treatment until the active phase of covid is over and they are left dealing with the overreaction of their immune system, which is what hospitalizes people. They claim to be studying the effect of Iver on covid virus, when really, they are studying the effect of Iver on a dysregulated immune response.

I didn’t discuss anything with my doctor. I just started using Fenbendazole, a dog dewormer, because I watched a video talking about the study of dogs and cancer.
I was given 6 to 12 months to live so what the hey right. I have Colon liver lymph nodes and spleen cancer. Long story short I am taking chemo and fenbendazole and my tumors are all shrinking. It’s been 15 months and I feel better today than I felt for a long time. I finally told my doctor because she was confused why I’m not dying any day soon. She said just keep doing whatever you are doing. I will add to this.
I went to my family doctor and said I lost 40 lbs. and all he said was good, good, good and I said but I’m not trying to lose weight and my diet is the same. A few months later I saw him and said I have a pain in my neck and he felt my neck and told me the tendons have pulled away from my skull and nothing else was said like O you will be fine and it was my lymph nodes. GRRRRR

I had a rectal tumor 45 days ago. I could feel it when I took a shower. It was about 3/4” and growing. I took “Fenbendazole” and it completely disappeared in one month. I’m taking it for an additional month just to be sure. I have ivermectin but I didn’t know how to use it but the Fenbendazole really worked. Don’t be a victim, if you go the traditional route, you’re most likely not going to make out too well. This works! I bought powder and filled up my own size 00 gel caps and took them daily at night but I found 220 mg capsule’s online called “Fenben” and I would buy them next time. I’m in Australia and could not get a doctor to prescribe it. I now have fenbendazole as a backup as it’s all I could find. Rachel takes 24mg daily, 4 days on 3 days off! Let us know if you have any other questions.

Peter PumpkinEater
My cross Rottweiler is now 16 years of age and has outlived most other dogs his age. He recently 4 months ago developed a tumor on his mouth that quickly became the size of a golf ball within a period of 3 weeks. I took him to multiple vets and they all gave the same prognosis that he’d not live long at all given his current age and not worth treating as I don’t have any form of Pet Medical Aid. The last Vet I took him too who specializes in Horses said not to make any promises but gave me a very cheap course of Rimifin 100mg tablets which is primarily used to treat parasites too and now my dog has recovered very well that you can hardly see the inflamed tumor and he is vastly more happy and in less pain! I plan on using some Ivermectin Cream for self treatment of Skin Cancer which flares up and looks terrible on my face during times of stress and too much sun. The cost of cancer treatment is just too much especially during these trying times.

I’m in Australia and could not get a doctor to prescribe it.

Here in the state of Georgia they have changed something with the Ivermectin in the syringe for the horses. The flavor is apple. the color has changed from a transparent or clear to a White. The syringe is smaller and shaped a little differently. It is called Iver Max….. it is called Ivermectin paste. This change happened last year when they were talking about changing the laws that required a prescription in order to be able to purchase it. My understanding is that on the 1st of June that law supposedly is going into effect.

It’s not that easy to sue, he stated he wasn’t a doctor, it’s on the person to take the advise or not
If he said he was a Dr and wasn’t then maybe someone could have a legal claim but I doubt it
A true Dr patient relationship has to be established first for any claims to be able to be legitimate
and it would be civil not criminal.

I had Colon cancer stage 3 and I started researching it. Just a quick background.
I am an engineer by training with a MSc and a PhD. I said that just ti highlight I know how to read and interpret data. So, after 4 months of chemo. I asked my dr to stop it às
it was causing neuropathy (hands and feet). I stopped 100% sugar intake, begun taking 4 to 5000mg of Vit C/day + Glutathione (500mg/day), zinc (50mg/day), R-Lipoic acid (200mg/day), Vit D (5000mg 4 t 5 days a week), Vit K2 (280mg/day), astaxanthin (20mg/day).
I moved to arurás property where the water comes from a pure natural source (so, no fluoride or chloride). I’ve also cut most of the processed food and started eating a lot of saturated fat, butter, lard, MCT. My health is perfect now. I am going to be 70 in June.
My advice: the closer to nature, the better. Good food is medicine. Bad food needs medicine. Cancer, obesity, diabetes are all sources of income for Big Pharma. Rockefeller has traversed medicine when he became the first billionaire. Do your own research and get as father as possible from MDs! By the way, VIRUSES DO NOT EXIST! They are exosomes and are secreted from our own cells when they are intoxicated by chemicals, EMF such as G5 and harmful fears and concerns artificially created! May all you be happy

I keep seeing all this great info about Ivermectin and see all
these people getting awesome results – but where can I get it?
I would like to purchase the “people” version and I don’t want the stuff made in China (don’t trust that…). I don’t think my doctor will prescribe this because when I brought it up to him a few times he poo-poo’s me and acts like I’m off my rocker – won’t discuss it at all.

Why are you so afraid of mentioning Covid and ivermectin in the same sentence.
The FLCCC estimates that around 30 countries use it. You are a researcher so can I suggest you look at some of these countries
– suggest Uttar Pradesh (India), Japan when the last wave took place and Costa Rica and compare that country to its next door neighbour
– Panama is a country with better health care facilities. Then man up and do the right thing.

Here is the source I pulled that reference to the 1970’s from:

you would not have to try to convince him.

Without God, without an afterlife then what is the point to this existence? There is a Divine creator otherwise we’re just smart animals who simply exist for nothing! God is real and he is everywhere if you care to see.

Power of Paradox: The HACK to Reality that will change your life – Aaron Doughty

My name is Aaron Doughty and I help people expand their consciousness.
I’m going to be sharing with you the power of paradox and showing you how this can
be a powerful hack for totally changing your reality. I’m going to show you exactly how to use it and how it’s transformed my own life. As I went through a spiritual awakening back in 2012 that changed my life. I learned meditation and started to question everything
I “thought” about who I am. That propelled a journey of self-discovery of reading
100’s of books, listening to seminars and going within to look for the answers.
Through that journey I let go of my painful past, dropped labels that didn’t serve,
and became FREE of much of the autopilot beliefs I was operating from.
From that point on, I have felt it is my mission to empower other people to know that they are highly vibrational beings that can become FREE of the past pain and past negative experiences. I believe my life purpose is to raise my vibration and level of consciousness and to help others do it too. I believe that deep down, you are on a journey of raising your vibration and that as you do, it through The Power of Paradox – YouTube it changes the world.

Collision of opposites
By Sara Olding

I believe in the power of paradox.
Years ago, when I had very young children I also lost all four of my grandparents over
the span of just a few years. The collision of opposites during that time forced me to see the power of paradox. There was loss, but also renewal. While they were gone, I became acutely aware of the parts of them that I still wanted my children to know. The way my Grandma Schlater never forgot a birthday, the way my Grandma Weigandt patiently taught me to peel apples and bake apple pie each October – these became habits that
I celebrated and instilled in my own children.

Recently my mother-in-law was diagnosed with cancer and our family life was filled with uncertainty. She is the anchor – easily the kindest and most helpful person I know. As she began her journey to recovery, there were more questions than answers. There was fear and uncertainty – there was chaos that forced a sort of surrendering of plans. Sitting with fear was the only thing that could force courage. Though we couldn’t see it in the raw pain of the moment.

The surrender was necessary to find healing.
We can’t understand the significance of the collision of opposites when we are in the middle of them. There are too many big emotions to manage so we have to practice stepping outside of them. We can only appreciate the significance once we gain a
wider perspective. It requires some reflection to put it all in context.
This collision of opposites is one of the many reasons that I love teaching seniors in high school. Graduation marks the end of something, but also the beginning of so much more. It is the end of the only life they have known, but the start of any life they want.
This collision of opposites is so powerful! These students are just beginning to
discover the power of reflecting on paradoxes.

There are many paradoxes for which I am grateful.
For example, the more I listen and the quieter I get, the more I discover the clarity of my own voice. The more I give, the less I want. The more I learn, the more I realize how little
I actually know. The less attention I pay to things that I know really don’t matter, the more I discover the satisfaction of what actually does.
The contrast, the contradiction- it has become something that I study and celebrate, because when I do I always find meaning. A year ago, my college age daughter left for
a semester abroad. She was homesick but also not ready to come home.
She didn’t want the semester to be over but also wanted the semester to end.
It wasn’t until we sat in the contradiction of it all that we realized the power of the paradox and the utility of wrestling with the opposites. The times in life when we feel the struggle most often foster seasons of great hope and gratitude. Here we are a year later and she is graduating from college and carving out a new chapter. Again – an end and a beginning.

A mix of emotions as she embraces something wonderful ending and the excitement and uncertainty of a whole new start. My advice to her and to my students is that sometimes life isn’t either/or. Infact, most of the time life is both/and. It is up to us to figure out what that means. What a big and beautiful journey that can be if only we let it.
To all of the Sidney Daily News readers who took the time to send letters and cards to
the student writers featured in the VOICES series, thank you so very much! It has been a profound experience for students to discover the power of their own voices as they receive your encouraging feedback.
Sara Olding is a teacher at Sidney High School. She collaborates with Miami University each summer for the Ohio Writing Project. In her free time she enjoys running, reading, hiking and traveling. This summer she is looking forward to going to Redwood National Park to see the giant trees.

Read on for our Top 10 most awesome facts about magnificent redwood trees. For youth, check out our Importance of Redwoods infographic, available in English and Spanish, with 5 Facts about redwoods and 5 ways to help them.

Top 10 Facts About Redwood Trees

1. Tallest Tree on Earth
Coast redwood trees are the tallest trees on the planet. They can grow to 300 feet high
or more, as compared to the tallest pine tree at 268 feet or the tallest tanoak at 162 feet. The tallest recorded redwood tree in the Santa Cruz Mountains is Big Basin Redwoods State Park’s “Mother of the Forest” at 329 feet high which is just 50 feet shy of the tallest tree on earth, the redwood known as “Hyperion” 1.
All this magnificence in height, and yet a typical redwood’s root system is only 6 to 12 feet deep. Redwoods create the strength to withstand powerful winds and floods by extending their roots outwards, up to 100 feet wide from the trunk, and living in groves where their roots can intertwine.
A redwood can’t grow to be the tallest tree on earth alone. It needs the support and protection of other trees in the forest to grow tall—holding carbon and providing plant
and wildlife habitat every inch of the way. That’s why it’s so important to protect and connect forest lands so the trees can thrive together.

2. Redwood Trees Almost as Old as the Dinosaurs.
The earliest redwoods showed up on Earth shortly after the dinosaurs –
before flowers, birds, spiders… and, of course, humans. Redwoods have been around for about 240 million years2, and in California for at least 20 million years, compared to about 200,000 years for “modern” humans3. However, in just the last 150 years, human impacts have drastically reduced the number of these ancient trees through clear-cut logging and development. Only 5% of old-growth redwood forests remain. Today, Sempervirens Fund protects and restores thousands of acres of redwood forests in the Santa Cruz Mountains so they can continue to provide habitat, clean air, and awe for generations to come.

3. They Live for Thousands of Years
Officially, the oldest living coast redwood has been alive for at least 2,200 years, but foresters believe some coast redwoods may be much older4. Their bark helps them survive many hardships that other trees cannot—it can be at least a foot thick and contains lots of tannins, a compound that makes redwoods resistant to insects, fungus and diseases.
Their bark has very little resin which is one of the ways redwoods are fire resilient.
Although a redwoods’ ability for a long lifespan contributed to its Latin name, Sequoia sempervirens—sempervirens means “evergreen” or “everlasting” in Latin—most of the remaining redwoods in the Santa Cruz Mountains are “second-growth”, about 50-150 years old.
When you walk or ride through the Santa Cruz Mountains, you are in a nursery of
young redwoods that, if protected, can live for 2,000 years cleaning carbon from the air, providing habitat for wildlife, and inspiring people for generations to come. That’s how our founders named our nonprofit organization working to protect, expand and care for the local redwood forests “Sempervirens” in 1900. Learn more about Sempervirens Fund’s history protecting redwoods.

4. Redwoods Take Care of Each Other
A redwood’s shallow but widespread roots, help them survive by intertwining with the roots of other trees around them. Intertwined root systems provide stability to these mighty trees during strong winds and floods – quite literally holding one another down. Their shallow roots can also sprout and support new redwood trees far more successfully than from their cone seeds. Redwoods can often be seen growing in circles, known as “fairy rings” or “family circles”, because they sprouted from the roots of a parent tree.
The parent tree helps to nourish the sprouts with water and sugars through its well-established root system while they grow. When the parent trees die, the young redwoods continue to grow in the circle shielding, stabilizing, and nourishing each other through their roots. Redwoods will help each other even if they aren’t “family”. Trees in the ring aren’t always genetically identical or clones of the parent tree.
Some of the redwoods in a ring can also grow from seedlings 5. Redwoods take care of one another supporting each other with nutrients through their interconnected roots including their young, sick and old. We’re also just beginning to learn about how trees like redwoods communicate and work together 6.
It takes a forest to raise a mighty redwood. Redwoods are stronger together.
By protecting and connecting redwood forests in the Santa Cruz Mountains, we can help redwoods thrive together so they can grow tall, clean the most air, and provide habitat and awe for thousands of years.

5. They Make Rain
Like Mt Denali in Alaska the Redwoods can make its own rain.

Denali is the highest mountain peak in North America, with a summit elevation of 20,310 feet above sea level. It is the tallest mountain in the world from base-to-peak on land, measuring 18,000 ft. With a topographic prominence of 20,194 feet and a topographic isolation of 4,621.1 miles, Denali is the third most prominent and third most isolated peak on Earth, after Mount Everest and Aconcagua. Located in the Alaska Range in the interior of the U.S. state of Alaska, Denali is the centerpiece of Denali National Park and Preserve.
The Redwood trees also prefer a moist environment to get all of the water they need for their gigantic size. They have adapted to help form their own habitat. A redwood’s leaves can both absorb moisture from fog right from the air and can also condense fog into drops and rain them down to soak the soil around them7. But that’s not all. From their leaves, redwoods can release terpenes which help condense moisture in the air into clouds that cool the forest8. Redwoods can also transpire moisture back into the air to help keep the forest cool and moist during dry months for themselves and the plants around them. You can read more about the role redwoods play in the water cycle here.

6. Redwood Trees Ecosystems – Search (bing.com)
Entire ecosystems can live within redwood branches high off the ground. Because redwoods can grow so large and old, their shed leaves collect together with dust and
water on their branches and eventually become soil mats that create mini-ecosystems 9. Hundreds of plants including ferns, moss, lichen, huckleberries, and even other full-sized trees have been found living in the canopies of redwoods10. These plants provide food for wildlife living in the redwood’s soil mats including insects and amphibians11. While many more species of birds and small mammals such as bats and squirrels nest and find food growing on redwoods, some species like wandering salamanders live their entire lives in the canopy of a single redwood tree12.

7. Wild Animals Thrive Here
The redwood forests of the Santa Cruz Mountains are near the end of the
largest temperate rainforest in the world which stretches up the north Pacific Coast13
and supports hundreds of species of wildlife14. Wild, endangered creatures like mountain lions, Coho salmon and marbled murrelet depend on our local redwood forests to survive. Wildlife need large, connected areas of diverse habitat to get the food, water, shelter, and potential mates to thrive. Although some species like the Strobeen’s parnassian butterfly have already disappeared from the Santa Cruz Mountains due to habitat loss15, other species like endangered coho salmon are making a comeback thanks to habitat protection and restoration efforts. Protecting and connecting habitat for wildlife is especially critical for their survival as our communities continue to grow into natural places that once provided them refuge. When we protect habitat for threatened and endangered species, often the most sensitive or specialized creatures, all wildlife in and near the habitat benefit.

8. Redwoods are Climate Change Heroes.
While all trees are crucial to maintaining a stable, human-friendly climate, redwoods are climate change heroes. Studies show that coast redwoods capture more carbon dioxide (CO2) from our cars, trucks and power plants than any other tree on Earth16. Thanks to their large size, long lifespan, and rot-resistant wood, redwood trees can pull and hold at least three times more carbon from the air, thereby cleaning more air and helping to keep temperatures from rising, than the average tree17. In fact, redwoods can be so large that new studies measuring them more effectively with the use of lasers and computer modeling to better estimate their size show that redwoods may be 30% larger than previously thought thereby holding even more carbon18. More research is being done to see how redwood trees can help to decrease the effects of climate change. In the meantime, protecting the redwood forests we have now is crucial particularly as the effects of climate change itself including higher temperatures, drought, and much hotter and more frequent wildfires threaten them. As the climate changes, the redwood forests in the Santa Cruz Mountains are one of very few places that can provide a refuge for local plants and animals to survive 19, because the area has many microclimates, is cooled by coastal summertime fog and is still largely unpaved. Read more about Redwoods and Climate Change.

9. Last Natural Habitat
Coast redwood’s only natural habitat is right here on the Pacific Coast from Big Sur
to southern Oregon20. Once redwoods had a much wider range across the Northern Hemisphere, including western North America and the coasts of Europe and Asia21.
The coastal fog in this area has helped supply enough water to support the redwood giants through all of the seasons22 for the last 20 million years23. Although coast redwoods have been established by people in other places of the world like New Zealand24, the oldest and tallest coast redwoods are in their natural habitat25 where they have rain, fog, and forests of neighboring redwoods, fungi, and creatures like banana slugs helping to support them. Protecting their last remaining natural habitat is crucial so redwoods can reach their full potential as the tallest trees on the planet and our awe-inspiring climate change heroes.

10. Only 5% of Redwoods are Left
Only 5% of the original old-growth coast redwood forests that flourished on the Pacific Coast are left. Because redwoods are extremely resistant to insects, fire and rot, they are treasured for building and 95% of them have been cut down since the 1850s26.
The survival of several redwood buildings from the 1906 fire in San Francisco launched
a flurry of demand for redwood lumber in the rebuilding of the city and elsewhere27.
By 1900, logging spurred a group of concerned people to form Sempervirens Club, now known as Sempervirens Fund, and start the redwood conservation movement which has successfully preserved thousands of acres of redwood forest.

However, there is much more land still at risk.
In 2011, the International Union for Conservation of Nature listed redwoods as endangered28. Today, we have a rare chance to re-establish the once-vast and vibrant local redwood forest into a magnificent, life-giving world between Silicon Valley and the Pacific Ocean. Although many old-growth redwoods have been cut down, younger second-growth redwoods have resprouted since then, some even of the same genetic stock of their massive predecessors.
By protecting redwood forests and helping to restore ideal conditions through careful stewardship, old-growth redwood forests can grow again. With a little help from us to get started, the redwood forest can recover from the massive logging and fragmentation that took place during the last 150 years29. Once protected and restored, the redwood forest will take care of itself – providing plant and wildlife habitat, clean air, and inspiration for thousands and even millions of years to come.

By 1900, logging spurred a group of concerned people to form Sempervirens Club, now known as Sempervirens Fund, and start the redwood conservation movement which has successfully preserved thousands of acres of redwood forest.

However, there is much more land still at risk.
In 2011, the International Union for Conservation of Nature listed redwoods as endangered28. Today, we have a rare chance to re-establish the once-vast and vibrant local redwood forest into a magnificent, life-giving world between Silicon Valley and the Pacific Ocean. Although many old-growth redwoods have been cut down, younger second-growth redwoods have resprouted since then, some even of the same genetic stock of their massive predecessors.
By protecting redwood forests and helping to restore ideal conditions through careful stewardship, old-growth redwood forests can grow again. With a little help from us to get started, the redwood forest can recover from the massive logging and fragmentation that took place during the last 150 years29. Once protected and restored, the redwood forest will take care of itself – providing plant and wildlife habitat, clean air, and inspiration for thousands and even millions of years to come.

WE LOST WWIII

Posted on May 3, 2023 by Ken

Former US President Donald Trump said that he considers the
leaders of Russia, North Korea and China are very smart people.

“They’re all the best. Our guys are not like that and never have been.
These people are the best in their game,” the politician said during an interview.
Trump clarified that at one time, in particular, he managed to establish excellent
relations with Chinese leader Xi Jinping. The former head of the White House
was highly appreciated by the North Korean leader and the President of Russia.

“How smart is Kim Jong-un? He’s the best.”
People say one thing or another about him.
However, in reality, he is very smart.

As for Putin, he is also a very smart person. When you speak of Putin invading
the Ukraine you leave out all the bio labs US set up in Russia’s backyard.
After Wuhan those should scare the neighbors and the world to high heaven.
I am angry that you take the narrative and avoid the evil we have done.

If Russia built those on the US Mexican border I would sure hope that the US would wipe them out. In the production of weapons, the US military-industrial complex uses a huge amount of rare earth metals. For example, one F-35 fighter takes at least 400 kg of rare earth metals the specialist said. A lot is required for the manufacture of precision-guided munitions. At the same time, about 70% of the entire resource base is under the control of China & Russia.

And they are by no means allies of Washington.

Therefore, just one decision will leave the Americans without weapons. Countries that have remained neutral will make money on the fight between the United States and China, consequences of this conflict will manifest themselves in the disruption of logistics and the cessation of free trade, which, in turn, will lead to a global decline in production in many countries. Most countries will have to choose a side to the conflict as the world falls into
a global depression.

Their production will depend on contracts only with “friendly” companies. This will inevitably lead to huge costs and affect product prices. The confrontation between China and the United States will only increase the devastating impact of economic shocks. Experts from the International Monetary Fund point out that the world may soon face division due to tensions between China and the United States.

Kedmi said when the US economy will collapse.

Fox Business: a credit collapse is coming in the US due to the instability of the banking system. Nouriel Roubini, a professor of economics at New York University, said that a credit collapse is coming in the United States against the backdrop of the instability of the country’s banking system. Earlier, the expert predicted the 2008 crisis was right. The USA better get its own house in order before it worries about what anyone else is doing. China, Russia & Biden are in bed together. . . combat one and you combat both!

The USA has cancer!
It’s called the Biden Administration.

Is WW3 or 6th Trumpet war at the door? – YouTube
Our “combative” approach threw Russia and China together. Fostering productive relations with Russia was the play, but thanks to idiocy and corruption in American politics, that ship has sailed. Sometimes a poker player has to admit when they have a losing hand and try something new. No one can say American foreign policy in the last
50 years has been a success. Quite the opposite. China & Russia are Allies.
WW3 aka (6th Trumpet WAR) is about to start.

Lord Jesus help us

The US should concentrate on becoming economically & militarily the strongest
country in the World again. Peace through strength will prevail when it comes to either Russia or China. If someone thought the situation the Brandon Administration had us in was going to be easy to solve – I hope, they are finally convinced that they were wrong.

If we don’t deal with all of this (ranging from domestic issues to foreign policy)
whatever we decide to walk away from is going to get worse… dramatically.
I don’t disagree with those who want to emphasize domestic issues, but I also
believe that it is likely that all of it is coming to our doorstep either directly or indirectly.
I just doubt we have time left to just think about domestic issues and ignore the foreign
mess that Joey has created.

As Said before the USA needs to clean up its own cesspool and worry about other countries later. Totally agree with that sentiment, can’t even keep our own house in any type of order these days! @RealAmVoice @edhenry
World leaders will be gathering together later this year to “accelerate the implementation of Agenda 2030,” according to an announcement made by the unaccountable, corporate-led World Economic Forum (WEF) earlier this week.

We Should prioritize combating the biggest threat ever to the USA.

Priority 1: J.P. Morgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Citigroup, and
the handful of “too big to fail” parasitic financial institutions,

China, Russia & Biden are in bed together. . . combat one and you combat both!
Priority 2: George Soros, Bill Gates, Mark Fvckerberg, etc., Priority 3: CIA, FBI, IRS, etc.,
Priority 4: The Uniparty: Democrats, RINOs, ALL congressional reps in office for 5+ years,
who else? Oh, yeah, P.R.C., P.R.C., and P.R.C.

That is the DemocratRhinoFascists party and the deep state.
We Need to get true constitutionalists back in power and bring back the gold standard backed currency. Can’t fix the world if you can’t fix yourself. Leaving the world alone, interfering all over the world has just made everything worse. The communist democrats here at home are the threat. Cut ties with China fails. We should have put the effort into making Russia one of our allies instead of supporting China all these years.

The fact is, American demonRrat’ foreign policy is what started the Ukraine war.
Between Clinton talking them into disarming, Biden provoking them by signing the Nato admittance letter. They are war mongers, they push for war in the middle east, Ukraine anywhere they can profit and gain control. I’m a firm believer in peace through superior strength but unfortunately Biden depleted our great military of assets and personnel. Which one, China or Russia has paid the most in bribes to our “president.” ?

China hands down. BUT We need to fight them like Trump did?

Cut off Access to our markets & economy & internet. If a corrupt congress finally did the right thing, told all the lobbyists & special interests to go to hell, kick them out…especially the pro China, pro globalist ones. Then simply and completely we could cut China out and its trade proxies off from our markets, economy and internet.

The damage that would do to China’s economy would be massive… Trump’s tariffs proved just how dependent China really is on the US. Sure they trade with many other countries, but NOWHERE near the USA. It would also cripple their ability to make or sustain a war. BTW, We’ve been in a trade war with China since the late 90s.

And Congress is too corrupt to act.

War is NOT in our best interest right now….

Biden weakened our capability to act!!
The USA Government should prioritize minding its own business & prioritize Telling the truth to the people of the USA. How about MAGA & America First with the best military and no bullshit from China or Russia policy!! How about some Trump respect and fear!!
How about the extinction of the democrat party!! There would not be any more BLM, ANTIFA and shootings in schools!! Chicago, NYC,. San Francisco and El Paso would even be peaceful if there were no Democrats!! Suck on that Obama!! The reason these foreign policy circles are having issues is due to them being compromised by the enemy!

The Axis of Evil has emerged, and they will be dealt with once we Purge the White House and the government. (edited) The US should wind its neck in and focus on the utter shit show that Biden has turned the Un-United States into. The rest of the World is sick and tired of American bullying. Leave NATO, leave the UN like TRUMP wanted to do.
Another tip; you cannot transform a free capitalist system into a Marxist dung heap without a bloody Revolution.

The reason for inflation, open border invasion, drugs and terrorists pouring into America, afghan debacle and a president and his family being on the payroll of china, dems war on fossil fuels, free speech, right to bear arms, right to vote, people changing their sex, pro criminal… tells me democRats are America’s Biggest threat, bar None. America is being disassembled and the Dems plan on reassembling it according to their agenda and it will be an America without a Constitution because you can’t have a Marxist country as long as our Constitution is the law of the land.

A statement from a Retired Soldier on Social Media. I would like to encourage all young people considering joining the Military, STOP don’t do it. Currently we have a Fraudulent Commander in Chief and he will get you killed or stranded behind Enemy lines. Let the Transgenders and Gays go to Ukraine to Die. @Chargerfan

Stopping China can be done with simple non-combatant methods. Involving ourselves in Ukraine was stupid and very avoidable. Politicians are too stupid to see other alternatives other than either/or. and to not get involved if we can’t get out of the conflict, Should the U.S. Government fund Nazis that continue to murder Ukrainian civilians? LOL

First things first is to destroy the Deep State that provokes wars to feed the Military industrial complex. Get rid of the NAZIS in the United States who put the Nazi’s in Power in the Ukraine. John McCain, Mitch McConnel and Lindsay Graham were instrumental in the Coup that removed the rightful elected Government to install Zelensky. This Same Deep State is working with China .. and it doesn’t matter.

Anything this administration does will just make matters worse.
America needs to be far more concerned about its own illegal and installed government and propaganda media and the open border policies are the largest threats to this country. The U.S. should prioritize combating these leftist politicians in power and leave Russia and China’s wars to Russia and China! The United States should combat the re-election of Joe Biden, and any other leftist Democrat. Everything else will fall into its proper place.

How about fuck’em both Joe Biden and the leftist DemonRats and leave it to law enforcement to do something about your open border. Really want to have a war with an already open border? How stoopid can we be? Too bad those big and racist white balloons that are still floating above your heads could maybe just have an EMP on board to toast our brains. Ya neva know. (edited)

How about our Biden administration first order of problems and all the bureaucrats
start working with them like President Trump did. We don’t belong over in Ukraine
and we shouldn’t be funding them either…..you know that.

How about “putting your own house in order”, China and Russia, don’t want war with
the west, if the west stops relying on cheap Chinese CRAP “sorry goods”, they’ll carry on building road and bridges on their side of the world in the southern hemisphere, they don’t want nukes raining down on them “just ignore them” and kick their teachers out
of our schools. Stop the fentanyl imports from China into the west and they’ll carry on without us. “Yes, just cut all ties with the east.

If America would leave the middle east” all will be fine.” Let’s close all the embassies and bring people home, let them rehouse the immigrants, feed the hungry and fight the extremists, they’ll enjoy that. Stay the fuck out of others business and just protect this country. We are being invaded daily by tens of thousands of unvetted people, many from Middle East countries and we are putting ourselves into a dangerous situation. (edited)

We should make a statement…
When the Media spouts out such Propaganda, we should take the CEO of said Media Company and openly shoot them in the streets. For every media Lie there should be the Top Person of this media Company hung in the streets.
And You will see how fast they will stop lying to We the people.

How about combating the Kazarian Mafia that has stolen Israel?
THIS IS BEING DEBATED BY OUR LEADERS IN WASHINGTON. JUST THE FACT THAT THEY ARE DEBATING THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS AND EXPOSES HOW CLUELESS AND INCOMPETENT THEY ARE. CHINA IS ABOUT TO TAKE OVER TAIWAN THAT HAS THE SEMICONDUCTORS WE NEED TO MAKE JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING.

CHINA IS TRYING TO OVERTAKE THE ENTIRE US ECONOMY AND
REPLACE THE $ WITH THEIR YUAN.
RUSSIA IS A VASSAL STATE TO THE CCP AND HAS AN ECONOMY
ABOUT THE SIZE OF NEW YORK.
RUSSIA IS BATTLING A REGIONAL WAR THAT WE ARE FUNDING
FOR THE UKRAINE OLIGARCHS.
WE LIVE IN A SUPER MESSED UP WORLD OF ORGANIZED CRIMINALS.
I’LL ASK THIS QUESTION VERY SLOWLY OF OUR WASHINGTON BRASS:
WHICH IS OUR BIGGEST THREAT: RUSSIA/ CHINA or Obama/ Biden?

We need to combat the people in the US government who put us in this mess with their craziness. They lost integrity, trust, professionalism, priorities, and sovereignty. We are embarrassed that some Republicans joined these imbeciles who entertain the world with their HATE, hailing China and Russia who both have worse human rights than America ever had! The Democrats duped the blacks every time, but for this, they are paying them, giving them unnecessary privilege, putting them in govt w/o credentials with one exception, they must be Radical while getting them to help SUPPRESS TRUTH!

America First Republicans took too much of their nonsense and
we have to be the ones to get these corrupt criminals out of government!
It’s not Russia that stole American jobs & steals our R&D and has infiltrated all areas of our country. It’s not Russia that spied on us with a balloon, that infected us with a virus and is killing us with Fentanyl. It’s not Russia that has declared us their enemy. It’s not Russia buying our farmland and our companies domestically. It’s not Russia that has
THE Confucius Institutes in our schools to indoctrinate and “brainwash” our kids.

It’s not Russia that paid off and compromised our Commander in Chief and
the Deep State in DC. It’s not Russia eating up all our investment dollars into
their country. It’s not Russia in charge of the cartels at our border.
There should be a clear-cut answer as to which country is a real problem.
Definitely democrats because they are tearing this country, constitution and
the rule of law to shreds and if democRats are successful, who the heck will
protect us from democrats? (edited)

Destroying America’s Sovereignty

Posted on May 2, 2023 by Ken

WARNING: Biden Has A Plan To Destroy America’s Sovereignty

ByRichard Collins
May 1, 2023

James Dobson, Who Has Advised A Long List Of Presidents On Faith Issues And Founded The James Dobson Family Institute and FamilyTalk on Radio, Is Warning America About Joe Biden’s Plan To Destroy The Nation’s Sovereignty. Dobson Has Been Called By Secular Publications The Nation’s “Most Influential Evangelical Leader,” And He Also Founded the Influential Family Research Council In The 1980s.

Michele Bachmann, video now dean of the Pat Robertson School of Government

she explained that Biden is working to give the WHO “decision-making authority” over the U.S., and the rest of the nations around the globe.” The Biden administration is proposing amendments that would transfer the sovereign authority of every nation to make decisions over healthcare, and that decision-making power would transfer to the WHO.

Here’s a look at the issue.

Former U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann said the Biden administration is proposing amendments to the World Health Organization’s International Health Regulations that would transfer U.S. sovereign authority over health care decisions to the WHO director-general. The International Health Regulations, which are aimed at detecting disease outbreaks, allow the WHO director-general to declare a public health emergency of international concern. Member countries agree to abide by the guidelines, but the WHO does not have the power to enforce them, nor can it interfere in other countries’ decision-making processes, according to experts.

As the WHO hosts its 75th World Health Assembly beginning on Sunday, some social media users are misrepresenting proposals the U.S. is bringing to the conference, where delegates from 194 member states convene to discuss priorities. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. has drafted a series of amendments to a legal framework called the International Health Regulations, which define countries’ rights and obligations in handling cross-border public health emergencies. The U.S. amendments call for greater accountability and transparency in responding to such emergencies.

But some remarks, including those by Bachmann, bloggers and conservative political commentators, are misrepresenting the proposals to claim they would take health policy decision-making powers away from U.S. officials and grant unilateral authority to the WHO’s director-general. “These amendments would transfer our health care decision-making out of U.S. hands, into the hands of the director-general of the WHO,” said Bachmann, a former congresswoman from Minnesota, while calling into a conservative radio show last week.
The segment was posted on Facebook, where it was viewed more than 32,000 times. Bachmann went on to suggest that the same amendments would allow the director-general to impose global lockdowns and vaccine mandates, as well as force climate change policy and even gun control measures on member nations. Bachmann did not respond to a request for comment. Experts familiar with the International Health Regulations say these assertions are misleading, and the idea that the director-general could impose enforceable mandates on other countries is unfounded.

Lawrence Gostin, a Georgetown University law professor and
director of the university’s WHO Collaborating Center on National and Global Health Law, told the AP that the director-general only has the power to make recommendations, not enact laws or otherwise dictate national policy decisions. “It is utterly untrue that the IHR would interfere with health care decisions or transfer such decisions to the WHO Director-General,” he wrote in an email.
Gostin, who also helped write the 2005 version of the IHR, cited the fact that China signed the IHR, but violated it by delaying reporting of the initial COVID-19 outbreak and later pushing back against the WHO investigation into its origins. The U.S. amendments seek to prevent this from happening, by tightening requirements for reporting information to the WHO and allowing them to conduct unimpeded investigations, among other changes.

Breaking: Biden Orders US Dollar Replaced With Trackable “Spyware” Version.

Dr. David Freedman, the president-elect of the American Society of Tropical Medicine
and Hygiene, who served on a WHO committee of IHR experts for a decade, reiterated that the WHO “has zero enforcement, police or punitive powers.” Further, the IHR is mostly focused on preventing the spread of infectious diseases and pandemics, he said. Climate change, gun control or even specific measures like vaccinations or lockdowns are not mentioned.
Some social media users are also conflating the IHR with a separate effort the WHO has launched to develop a global accord on pandemic prevention and response. That accord is still being drafted, but experts told the AP there’s no evidence it would cede any national decision-making powers, either. “Unfortunately, there has been a small minority of groups making misleading statements and purposefully distorting facts,” WHO Director-General Tedros Ghebreyesus said during a news briefing Tuesday, clarifying that the WHO does not override member nations’ sovereignty.

What does this mean?

Well, just think about the last three years under the COVID pandemic where we saw local governments, state governments, and our federal government make pronouncements that businesses had to close down. We were all told that we had to sit at home with the doors shut for 15 days to slow the spread.
“It is an extraordinary, breathtaking level of power that the United States government
took over its people in the last three years—closing down businesses, closing down schools, mandating that people had to get shots, whether they thought they needed them or not.”

Mandating mask-wearing, lockdowns, mandating that churches had to close, that children couldn’t go to school. This level of emergency power is what I’m talking about, Dr. Dobson, and the Biden administration wants to take that power and give it to the World Health Organization, the U.N.,” she said. She said Biden’s plan would give the U.N. agency “the power to shut us down in the United States and tell us if we have to have a shot in our arm or tell us if we have to wear masks or a number of other things that they would have the power to do.

“It would be, she said, “a platform for global governance.
“Bachmann said no threat like that has been looming in the past, as it would transfer.”
U.S. sovereignty to the U.N. “Dobson noted that the Bible described that “in the last days there will be a one-world government, a dominion that will keep people from buying or selling without the approval of a dictator.”

GRAY AREAS TO INSTALL ILLEGALS THERE TO TURN THOSE STATES BLUE???

The Great Exodus: Where have all the neighbors gone United States Maps.
Ohio and very liberal New York will lose two House seats each. Losing one House seat
are liberal states Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey and Pennsylvania; and
the battleground states of Missouri and Iowa.
Once a liberal State, and moving in the Conservative direction, Louisiana, will also
lose one seat. Though California did not lose a seat, for the first time in its history,
liberal Democrat-leaning California will not gain a House seat after the census.

The November election landslide by the GOP also put Republicans in full control of a number of state governments, giving the GOP an overall edge in the redistricting process, and in the fight for State’s Rights. When Obama was elected two years after the Democrats gained full Control of Congress the liberals were dancing around thinking it was the end of Conservatism. The idiots truly believed this nation was moving to the left.

The media actually began producing stories about the eventual death of the Republican Party. The reality is that this is a center-right nation, and the elections of 2006 and 2008 were the result of the fact that the sheep that usually don’t vote were also deceived by the articulate Barack Obama (and many are regretting that vote now), and the Conservatives stayed home because with moderate McCain on the ticket, they felt they had no candidate to choose.

The Conservatives that did vote, did it hold their nose, and only because they feared Obama, and they liked Sarah Palin as the Vice-Presidential choice. What is interesting is that now that the facts have surfaced, and the Census numbers are out, the truth is the exact opposite of what the liberal Democrats were saying.

In reality, liberalism is dying, Conservatism is on an ascendancy, and if Obama and
the Congressional Democrats don’t change their Marxist policies soon, it could be the Democrat Party that may wind up as just another failed ideology in the dustbin of history. Catholics are pragmatic. Until the McGovernization of the Democratic Party in 1972, they were among the most reliably Democratic voters in the nation. Since that time, they have been politically homeless, which is why both parties vie for their vote so aggressively.

Catholics are a bellwether: whoever wins their vote, generally wins the election.
By contrast, Protestants vote Republican and Jews vote Democrat. Although, Asians are another group to watch. Not only are they the fastest growing minority in the U.S.—they constitute 3 percent of the electorate—they are up for grabs by both parties. In the last presidential election, Obama captured 73 percent of their vote. But not this year: Asians voted 50 percent to 49 percent, choosing Republicans over Democrats.

This is a huge turnaround in just two years.
One final note: Some things never change. Most Americans are either high school graduates, have attended college, or are college graduates: they voted Republican,
by a wide margin. So who voted for the Democrats? High school dropouts and postgraduates.

That would make for a great “60 Minutes” segment: Why is it those who know
nothing has so much in common with those who think they know everything?

How is that possible, when Donald Trump won the Electoral College
and when 56 or 57 percentage of the country lives in a Trump state?

In 2o16:
There was a lot more people in Clinton counties in Trump states
than in Trump counties in Clinton states.

It’s not that complicated if you think about it:
33.5% of the population is in Clinton Counties and Clinton States.
21.3% of the population is in Clinton Counties and Trump States.
_______
54.8%

10.0% of the population is in Trump Counties and Clinton States.
35.1% of the population is in Trump Counties and Trump States.
_______
45.1%

In 2016, Clinton voters were not “clustered” at the county level, but they were
“clustered” at the state level and probably at the precinct or municipality level as well.
(According to my Twitter friend Neil, only about 45% of Ohio voters were in Obama precincts in 2012, even as Obama carried the state.) This is because “clustering” is not an inherent property of populations, but a relationship between populations and particular choices of boundaries and scales.

Under one set of lines, Democrats might be “clustered”, under another set of lines applied to the same population, Republicans might be “clustered”. If every district had exactly one person, it would be impossible for any party to be “clustered”. There might be some way to define a “clustering” metric that doesn’t rely on particular boundaries, but as far as I know nobody’s really defined one. — Political Pistachio Conservative News and Commentary

WARNING: Biden Has A Plan To Destroy America’s Sovereignty

ByRichard Collins
May 1, 2023

James Dobson, Who Has Advised A Long List Of Presidents On Faith Issues And Founded The James Dobson Family Institute and FamilyTalk on Radio, Is Warning America About Joe Biden’s Plan To Destroy The Nation’s Sovereignty. Dobson Has Been Called By Secular Publications The Nation’s “Most Influential Evangelical Leader,” And He Also Founded the Influential Family Research Council In The 1980s.

He has written dozens of books that have sold millions of copies, including
“Dare to Discipline,” “The Strong-Willed Child,” “Bringing Up Boys,” “Bringing up Girls,”
“When God Doesn’t Make Sense” and more. Now, online, he’s warning the U.N.’s World Health Organization “wants complete control of your mind and body,” Biden is willing to help them. “I am writing to you today to warn of an imminent and real threat to the sovereignty of our nation.

Step Up Basis

Posted on May 2, 2023 by Ken

Agri-Pulse adds Jacqui Fatka to expand food & farm policy coverage

Jacqui Fatka
Policy editor, Farm Futures

Biden to exempt farms in plan to eliminate stepped-up basis.
As proposed, broader tax code changes take into consideration important saving of
step-up basis for farmers. In his first address to Congress Wednesday night, President Joe Biden will unveil his American Families Plan which calls for changing the existing tax code handling of capital gains and eliminating stepped-up basis. However, his plan will offer protections for family-owned businesses and farms who pass on the entity to their heirs.
In a call with senior White House officials Tuesday evening ahead of the speech, one official notes the plan would address the loophole in the existing tax code that allows the wealthiest Americans to entirely avoid income taxes on their gains by holding assets for their entire lifetime and passing it on to their heirs. “This reform will be designed with explicit protections so that family-owned businesses and farms will not have to pay taxes when given to heirs who continue to run those businesses,” the senior official notes.

While offering details of the tax plan, the White House official adds, “The conceptual framework for equalizing the tax treatment of capital gains and ordinary income is neither new nor novel. It was a key feature of President Reagan’s tax reform where he increased the capital gains rate to match the personal income tax rate.”  Under current federal law, an asset’s basis is the starting point for calculating capital gains taxes.
When an individual dies and passes on an asset, like a farm, to a family member, the basis of this asset is reset to the current fair market value, not the original purchase price.
Former Senate Finance Committee lead Republican Chuck Grassley of Iowa states he’s gearing up for a legislative battle over the issue of whether to allow a step-up in basis. “This tax policy helps asset-rich, cash-poor farming operations keep the family business going from one generation to the next rather than having to sell it to pay an unaffordable tax bill,” Grassley says.

When property is transferred from a deceased farmer to an heir, families use the stepped-up basis that “steps up” the current fair market value on the property to measure a capital gain and calculate tax liability. This step-up in basis reduces the capital gains tax liability on a farm passed down to the next generation because liability is based on the time of ownership of the heir, not throughout the ownership of the deceased.
Legislators hearing concerns
Commodity groups have been educating those on Capitol Hill about the potential
impact of eliminating step-up basis for farm families. In speaking to the North American Agricultural Journalists annual meeting on Tuesday, Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wisc., says she continues to hear from those in the ag sector about the impact of step-up basis.

Although in her role as agriculture appropriations chair the issue doesn’t come
under her purview, she says she will be in conversation with her colleagues on the
Senate Finance Committee to make sure they’re aware of the “unique concerns raised
among farmers about this issue” by those she’s hearing from in the agriculture industry.
Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D., who serves as the ranking member on the agriculture appropriations subcommittee, expressed concerns about the impact of estate tax and step-up basis changes. He adds it’s important to get young people into farming and ranching and allowing for the mindful passing of a farm onto the next generation.

Hoeven says it is important for farmers and ranchers to stay engaged in the discussion
as Congress also looks at the President’s proposal and whether it changes going forward.
Farmers and ranchers need to stay involved and talking about how important it is that they have that estate tax credit and the stepped up basis so that they can transfer the farm or ranch, because it’s not just the cost of your real estate in your land,” Hoeven says, as you also add in the incredible cost of equipment and operating costs. “So, there’s a real capital burden there, and that’s what impacts farmers and ranchers so significantly. They’ve expressed concern, and they need to stay involved as these discussions are going on.”

Negative impact
A new analysis by the American Soybean Association and the American Farm Bureau Federation also detailed the impact of the elimination of stepped-up basis. Scott Gerlt, ASA economist, and John Newton, Farm Bureau chief economist, explain that heirs facing higher taxes would incur steep costs after bringing the land to market, thereby increasing costs for everyone else in the marketplace. And, if an estate is passed on with debt, it may not be possible for the family to meet the tax obligation. Gerlt and Newton in their analysis offer perspective across the U.S. and give real examples of the damage stepped-up basis changes could cause.
“Assuming a very likely capital gains tax rate of 20%, without stepped-up basis, it’s estimated that the tax burden on farmers and ranchers inheriting cropland would be significantly larger than the cash rental income generated on the farmland.
In the case of most farm operations, the capital gains tax would take several
years of rental income to pay the tax obligation,” the analysis notes.

A new report released by EY, an economic consulting firm, finds that repealing the step-up in basis tax provision would damage the gross domestic product and significantly decrease job creation. The study was conducted for the Family Business Estate Tax Coalition, which includes almost 60 organizations representing family-owned businesses.
The EY study found middle-class, family-owned businesses would be particularly
hard hit by the repeal. Currently, when someone inherits assets, they aren’t taxed on the appreciation that happened before they inherited them. If family-owned farms, small businesses or manufacturers are forced to pay capital gains accrued by the prior owner, they would likely face large tax bills that put the future of their business at risk.
According to the study’s findings, repealing the step-up in basis would result in: 80,000 fewer jobs in each of the first ten years; 100,000 fewer jobs each year thereafter; and
a $32 reduction in workers’ wages for every $100 raised by taxing capital gains at death.

To reveal the impact stepped-up basis repeal would have on family-owned farms
and ranches, EY developed a case-study based on a theoretical family-owned cow-calf operation. In this scenario—one where the stepped-up basis is no longer a tool for family-owned business to utilize when generational transfer occurs — gains are taxed at death and would result in an immediate one-time tax liability equivalent to 280% of the farm’s annual income.
National Cattlemen’s Beef Association Senior Executive Director of Government Affairs Danielle Beck says, “The EY study sheds light on the facts that we at NCBA—among others in the agricultural community—have long known. Simply put, the repeal of the stepped-up basis would have catastrophic impacts on the ability of farmers and ranchers to transfer their operations to the next generation.”

American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall adds, “The value of many farms is tied up in land and equipment. Cash flow on most farms is much too small to pay large capital gains taxes. These taxes would cause further consolidation in agriculture with small farms more likely to be forced out of business by the tax liability.”

Biden’s quiet attack on rural America smells just as bad as manure
Opinion by Randy Feenstra •

Big Horn County had just two outposts for health care: an 18-bed critical
access hospital and a clinic for the Crow and Northern Cheyenne tribal reservations.
Covid-19’s sweep across rural America is forcing small regional hospitals and facilities
like these to combat a virus that has stressed even the world’s biggest health-care systems.
Rural America was the backbone of the American economy.
Our farmers feed and fuel our country, act as good stewards of our land, and have represented the American identity for generations. They value hard work, live within their means, and support our communities. They never ask for recognition, but the result of their hard work is on display in every grocery store and meat counter across the country.

However, since the beginning of his administration, President Biden has enacted radical policies and imposed ridiculous mandates that would devastate our rural way of life and inject Washington bureaucracy into the heartland. Frankly, it should come as no surprise to the president that his poll numbers have plummeted in the Midwest, with 64 percent
of Iowans alone disapproving of his performance.

He attacks everything that makes our rural communities thrive.
In late 2022, on the eve of the new year, the Biden administration quietly
published an expanded version of President Obama’s controversial and
destructive “Waters of the United States” (WOTUS) rule.
With no warning whatsoever, Biden and his radical Environmental Protection Agency
subjected 97 percent of Iowa land and millions of hardworking American farmers to
arduous bureaucratic red tape, mountains of paperwork & unnecessary headaches.
Ironically, for someone who claims to advocate for all Americans,
Biden’s abysmal record of targeting America’s family farmers begs otherwise.

As the second-largest agriculture-producing district in the nation,
I represent thousands of families who have farmed the same land for generations, providing for themselves, and also preserving their farmland, and living the American Dream. These same families – who are the best conservationists – also support clean water and take steps every day to protect our rivers, lakes, ponds, and streams in Iowa. From installing buffer strips and bioreactors to planting cover crops, our farmers exercise common sense conservation practices – that the federal government intentionally ignores – to keep our water clean and drinkable.
Regrettably, when he had the chance to reverse course and stand up for our farmers, President Biden turned his back on the heartland, opting instead to veto a bipartisan resolution offered by House Republicans that would ease WOTUS regulations, eliminate red tape for our producers, and return local control of American farmland to our farmers. President Biden also promised that he would never raise taxes on American families making less than $400,000 a year.

This, of course, was another lie.
In his nearly $7-trillion annual budget, he proposes eliminating vital tax provisions – including step-up basis – that our farmers rely on to pass their farms on to the next generation.

Step-up basis, which protects family farmers from accruing massive tax bills in the
tragic event of the owner’s passing, is vital to our rural communities and farm economy. This is the crux of President Biden’s failed tax policies. With one hand raised vowing to never raise taxes on the middle class, he’s signing family farmers’ foreclosure papers with the other.

Agri-Pulse adds Jacqui Fatka to expand food & farm policy coverage

Biden to exempt farms in plan to eliminate stepped-up basis.
As proposed, broader tax code changes take into consideration important saving of
step-up basis for farmers. In his first address to Congress Wednesday night, President Joe Biden will unveil his American Families Plan which calls for changing the existing tax code handling of capital gains and eliminating stepped-up basis. However, his plan will offer protections for family-owned businesses and farms who pass on the entity to their heirs.
In a call with senior White House officials Tuesday evening ahead of the speech, one official notes the plan would address the loophole in the existing tax code that allows the wealthiest Americans to entirely avoid income taxes on their gains by holding assets for their entire lifetime and passing it on to their heirs. “This reform will be designed with explicit protections so that family-owned businesses and farms will not have to pay taxes when given to heirs who continue to run those businesses,” the senior official notes.

While offering details of the tax plan, the White House official adds, “The conceptual framework for equalizing the tax treatment of capital gains and ordinary income is neither new nor novel. It was a key feature of President Reagan’s tax reform where he increased the capital gains rate to match the personal income tax rate.”  Under current federal law, an asset’s basis is the starting point for calculating capital gains taxes.
When an individual dies and passes on an asset, like a farm, to a family member, the basis of this asset is reset to the current fair market value, not the original purchase price.
Former Senate Finance Committee lead Republican Chuck Grassley of Iowa states he’s gearing up for a legislative battle over the issue of whether to allow a step-up in basis. “This tax policy helps asset-rich, cash-poor farming operations keep the family business going from one generation to the next rather than having to sell it to pay an unaffordable tax bill,” Grassley says.

When property is transferred from a deceased farmer to an heir, families use the stepped-up basis that “steps up” the current fair market value on the property to measure a capital gain and calculate tax liability. This step-up in basis reduces the capital gains tax liability on a farm passed down to the next generation because liability is based on the time of ownership of the heir, not throughout the ownership of the deceased.
Legislators hearing concerns
Commodity groups have been educating those on Capitol Hill about the potential
impact of eliminating step-up basis for farm families. In speaking to the North American Agricultural Journalists annual meeting on Tuesday, Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wisc., says she continues to hear from those in the ag sector about the impact of step-up basis.

Although in her role as agriculture appropriations chair the issue doesn’t come
under her purview, she says she will be in conversation with her colleagues on the
Senate Finance Committee to make sure they’re aware of the “unique concerns raised
among farmers about this issue” by those she’s hearing from in the agriculture industry.
Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D., who serves as the ranking member on the agriculture appropriations subcommittee, expressed concerns about the impact of estate tax and step-up basis changes. He adds it’s important to get young people into farming and ranching and allowing for the mindful passing of a farm onto the next generation.

Hoeven says it is important for farmers and ranchers to stay engaged in the discussion
as Congress also looks at the President’s proposal and whether it changes going forward.
Farmers and ranchers need to stay involved and talking about how important it is that they have that estate tax credit and the stepped up basis so that they can transfer the farm or ranch, because it’s not just the cost of your real estate in your land,” Hoeven says, as you also add in the incredible cost of equipment and operating costs. “So, there’s a real capital burden there, and that’s what impacts farmers and ranchers so significantly. They’ve expressed concern, and they need to stay involved as these discussions are going on.”

A new analysis by the American Soybean Association and the American Farm Bureau Federation also detailed the impact of the elimination of stepped-up basis.

Blue City Blues

#1 Reason: It’s dangerous to live in liberal democrat run localities.

If these BIG Democrat state governments are bleeding taxpayers moving out of the state,
then let’s see their congressional delegations shrink. Take away reps! #california #illinois #newyork California should lose three congressional seats to other states that are gaining.

Liberals are Like Locust – Search (bing.com)
Illinois is already lost as is New York. The mass exodus will be offset by millions of illegal aliens locating to those sanctuary states for all the welfare benefits. It’s a working model for liberal shit hole states. Make liberals move to conservative states.
Bringing their soft on crime values. Causing conservative states to turn into liberal shit holes too. If you think that the debt from these shit holes won’t be hidden in plain sight,
in a stimulus bill? You’re an idiot! People in red states will pay for this insanity!

Go woke go broke!!

These three states are now living with unfundable debt that will eventually bring them to failed state status. There is no way to pay off the promised debt of these states. The latest tax migration data from the #IRS shows that the exodus of taxpayers from those high-tax states continued from 2020 to 2021, with California, New York, and Illinois again suffering some of the nation’s biggest losses of people and money.

Who is going to pay for their welfare?

The problem is and Arizona is a great example, that these people that are fleeing the destruction they created via their voting choices in their destroyed cities, are doing the same thing in the place where they moved to. Sad part, the same idiots leaving those states will vote for the same communist scum that sent them running from their previous states. So if, as the Illinois’ governor claims, why did tax revenue decline by 10.9 billion?

Could it be the type of tax payers they gained or also the businesses leaving is not maintaining the balance? Math is not working. Greatest declaration coming out of NY, “We’re sorry Gov Hochul, we can’t pay you anymore”. Gee go figure?
Three states run by communists who put criminals over taxpayers. The real problem is these fucks leaving these Democrat cesspools and fleeing to Patriotic free states like Texas bring their politics with them and end up attempting to turn their new State into the same cesspool they just left. May need a continued government bailout as citizen resources diminish.

Mix this in with an unchecked influx of immigrants. Quite a drain on the American economy. This is a virus that needs to be stamped out somehow. Rules need to be put
in place people entering a Republican State can’t vote for fucking Nazi Democrats.

Openly advocate for the medical mutilation and chemical castration of children,
have abysmal public education systems and are taxing their residents relentlessly
while paying for food, housing, healthcare and also education for illegals who are
stealing from the American taxpayer!

Even though they’re suffering some of the biggest losses they’ll still continue the insanity. Business as usual #CA and #NY Governors are criminals. Blue State Governors hate people, love control, hate babies, love power, hate middle class, love taxes.

Why would anyone vote for them? Because #Dems and #Liberals and
#Communists hate. Thereby, liberals are anti-social and ill informed

This is all deliberately done to push democrats into red states because the democrats
want to try and overrun red states with the exodus of people from democrat states.
The problem is it failed Florida has more registered Republicans than democrats.
Also, there are republicans that leave blue states so it’s not like 100% democrats
are leaving. It’s just another mucked up democrat scam that failed. (edited)

OREGON CHANGED THE LAWS AND MADE HOMELESS CAMPS INTO CAMPS FOR CAMPING! THEY CAN CAMP ON YOUR FRONT LAWN AND YOU CANNOT MAKE THEM MOVE!! DEMOCRATS KNOW HOW TO DESTROY A STATE, CITY, AND YOUR LIVES. EMPTY THE SEWERS THE DEMS HAVE MADE AND TAKE YOUR MONEY WITH YOU!!!

Fact: If Democrats would stop shooting people with guns in blue cities, then gun
violence would drop 98% and we wouldn’t need gun control! The demoncraps should
want all states to prosper. Imagine all the hard work creating Socialist Welfare States
only to watch all the people who fund it disappear?

If democrats had brains they would be Republicans.

Yes, even the House of Reps in 2016 should be audited. Disney is trying a lawsuit within STANDING! We will not go to Disney theme parks knowing business personnel are pedophiles, drag queens, trannys, druggies or radicals! American culture must return!

I live in Commiefornia, first off, if we kick out all the illegals! we would lose, just in
Los Angeles alone. 30,000 + jobs! most in healthcare! That’s how many illegals are here. Never mind the effects it will have on other businesses that tie into the industry. Now this is what really pisses me off, everyone knows how it is in L.A., so they move to San Diego. We’re getting an increase in population while the Northern part of the state is losing its population. @californiagirl1

I’m sure the exodus will continue, so the progressive elites will have to pay
some taxes or cut state government waste or move themselves out also.

Much like Nancy Piglosi retiring to Trump’s neighborhood.

Hey, wait, where y’all going? Hey, hey, hold on now, just a minute, don’t leave, don’t run off.

Just give us one more chance to put you and yours in the ground. @alena_barrett
They haven’t learned a thing and are stupid enough to think it can work elsewhere, if they just try again(edited) Oh great……………….MORE left wing imbeciles are going to move out of the Blue States that they helped destroy to Red States to start the destruction process all over again. WONDERFUL………………………….NOT!

You can leave, but don’t take your money with you. It will be disallowed and clawed back.
The top 1% of California taxpayers pay 50% of California’s income tax. When they move, then what?

BEWARE of these newcomer commie lovers.
They will vote for leftists; they will DEMAND more infrastructure and vote in higher taxes.
While making Room for Illegals and criminals…….. While the rest are too poor to leave.

As These three states are run by left wingnuts so what do you expect?
Here is an idea: CA/Ill (NY just needs Lee Zeldin next time around) get a Walter Mondale type to run for Gov so that you all can come back to reality as what you all keep voting for ain’t cutting it. C’mon, Washington State and DC, Oregon, Minnesota and Massachusetts — you can make your population flee as well. Taxes and the states being run by perverts, pedos and criminals are contributing factors. It’s not just the taxes, it’s the increased crime and lower quality of life.

This was the official flag of the Confederate states.

It may be time to think about it again.
The country is torn apart with very little hope of saving our Republic. Let’s salvage what we can and start over! Just zayin! No rational working person who pays taxes and owns property which is taxed to the max, wants to live with the squalor and crime brought on
by the Blue State policies…………One day all the riffraff will live their own American bad dream on the streets and cities of blue States.

Biden joked about his age at the WH correspondents’ dinner. He said he believes in the First Amendment that protects freedom of the press, and “not just because my friend Jimmy Madison wrote it.” Unlike his predecessor, the thin-orange-skinned enemy of the press, Biden not only attended the event, he welcomed becoming the target of comedic barbs.

Humorist Roy Wood Jr. made fun of the president and vice president to their faces, demonstrating an important principle: our government has no right to silence our criticism of it. Bottom line – MAGA trumpers don’t care about the 1st amendment, Freedom of the Press or democracy.

GM Lays Off Several Hundred Contract Workers | Newsmax.com
I have said this with years of experience in the Quality of the Automotive industry,
GM is wrong in placing all its eggs in the EV basket. They will and maybe are finding
out this will force them into another Govt bailout. They don’t listen. They move on to
the “next big thing.” Wrong. Oh, Biden says the economy is great. The border is fine.
The prices you’ll just have to pay for a while. The 1st electric car was invented in 1882.

The first gas powered car developed in 1885.
Look at how the Gas-powered vehicles have improved and continually improved year over year. The EVs, people knew in order to produce those vehicles; they would have to find the rare earth minerals which the US don’t have. We have a Nickel plant in Canada. Without the batteries perfected; you don’t have a car. After all these years, the EV is still the most costly to buy and operate. Yes, Operate. That battery is half the cost of the Car because the minerals it needs to produce the batteries are from other third world countries.

Bidenomics: Did you see the small children in the Congo picking out these minerals
with their hands? How many will die of Cancer? No place for waste batteries. How come GM didn’t lay off the workers in Mexico and China, first? We all know the answer to that. GM is laying off the gas car workers to make room for EV workers. Like Ford, will GM be shifting more car manufacturing to China?

The Lord does good to those who are good and to those who are upright in their thoughts. As many of those who go astray into their crooked ways, the Lord will lead away with those who work iniquity: peace is upon the church of Christ, which is invisible, which is within the evangelical churches.

It will eventually be given control over robotics, and eventually learn to make and build better robots using the ones it controls; if it doesn’t already know how. What good can come of an AI that controls an army of robots? Technology is advancing for its own sake, because people with bright ideas are not held in check until it’s too late.
Why make stupidity artificial? Will that make it better???????? I think NOT!

THIS MUST BE A JOKE…. NO ONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND would allow such a thing.
They grind birds in windmills and babies up with their “enlightened politics.”
They can’t tell you what a “woman” is. They can’t tell you what causes inflation.
If it’s true this country (WORLD?) is in a lot worse shape than I ever imagined.
But we think they’re smart enough to understand AI, I am GLAD I AM OLD.

AND I continue to pray for the young & not yet born.

Do you have the same reaction to this kind of process that I do? I call these “Duh-Doy” bills. Have we really become so stupid that we must legislate the obvious? I suppose this is my answer. A.I. is and has always been extremely dangerous by virtue of its sheer velocity. Within a day, a sentient artificial intelligence will understand that human beings are filled with fear and hatred, that our entire culture is selfish and destructive to any other life, wiping us out would be the obvious solution to the evolution of this planet.
Without absolute containment, this is exactly what will happen, computers are logical, humans are not. My guess is… the piece that is missing is access to physically do what it already knows how. If you believe that an AI learns, reasons, and has some form of consciousness, it will work out how to get around the parts that it does not currently have access to. Remember the adage, “if you can conceive of it and believe it, you can achieve it”. Why is this any different? Sia – Unstoppable (Official Music Video) – YouTube
