Driving
Jerkoff Customers
Zombie Look
First of all, people of Hawaii have always been somewhat primitive in their driving habits, but overall very freindly on the road, we don’t have road rage. In fact if you flash a Shaka, for sure you get a shaka back, and they will let you in, let you make a tough left turn, merge, whatever. And all that is maybe even more in force post COVID.
But there are also more dangerous scenarios in driving, full on just jump right out in front of you, merge without even looking, run a sign or even a light. The micro-stroke damage and other neurological damage from the mRNA is clearcut. Many people even have the disimilar bi-facial look, and/or droopy look and they look like Zombies. I was not present during all the vaccine campaign, but I bet at uptake slowed down, I am sure they attracted and made injections convenient for the MANY homeless people in Hawaii, as many of the homeless look even worse than before.

Using solar to heat hot water is ridiculous. I know the behind-the-times morons in the Building Dept. made it mandatory on new housing. And I know that heating water from tap temperatures is theoretically more efficient that using your PV. I might agree if I had six or seven kids and a wife who were always taking hot showers, but I don’t.
I have never had any more that a 55gal electric water heater which has been with plenty for guests, kids and grandkids when they visit. We have a 36 panel PV system on the old net-metering agreement. We also have a 12 panel PV Battery Backup system. We have never had to pay more than the HECO minimum charge to keep our account open. We changed the date of our net metering anniversary from October (when the daylight gets shorter) to April when the daylight gets longer. One year we ended up with a $1,500 HECO credit. We haven’t had to run piping all over the place, buy an 85gal tank, recirc pumps and other costly parts solar hot water requires.
My two neighbors both had solar hot water systems on their roofs. One had panels that sprung leaks and rotted out their shake roof. They couldn’t see what was happening since the leaking water was all collected in their gutters and drained off underground in their downspouts. The other neighbor had to replace their entire aluminum roof. Both never replaced their solar hot water systems.
My son put in solar hot water to heat his swimming pool. Guess what? It heats itself when the sun is shining. It doesn’t need it most of the year and solar doesn’t do the job the rest of the year.
PV with HECO and battery backups will most likely be there to produce warm water if the Board of Water Supply would stop blowing water mains all over the island.

unpack this Check out Amos 5:26 and look at the Amplified Bible translation. The so-called Star of David is actually a symbol for Saturn and Molech and satan.
ChatGPT said: ChatGPT The statement you provided touches on a controversial and complex topic that involves interpretation of biblical verses, religious symbols, and historical context. Let’s break it down step by step:
Amos 5:26 in the Bible Verse Context: Amos 5:26 is part of a passage where the prophet Amos is condemning the Israelites for idolatry and turning away from God. The verse reads (in the King James Version): “But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.” Amplified Bible Translation: The Amplified Bible (AMP) is a modern translation that aims to clarify meanings by adding explanatory words or phrases. In the AMP, this verse might expand on the meanings of “Moloch” and “Chiun” to provide more context about these deities or symbols.
Moloch and Chiun Moloch: An ancient Canaanite deity associated with child sacrifice. Moloch is mentioned in various parts of the Bible as a false god worshiped by some Israelites, despite being forbidden. Chiun: A name that is often understood to refer to the planet Saturn. In some translations, Chiun is interpreted as “Rephan” or “Kaiwan,” which are associated with star worship in the ancient Near East.
Star of David Symbolism: The Star of David, also known as the Shield of David or Magen David, is a widely recognized symbol of Judaism. It is a hexagram, consisting of two interlocking triangles. Controversial Interpretation: The statement suggests that the Star of David is not a Jewish symbol but instead represents Saturn, Moloch, and Satan. This interpretation is not widely accepted or supported by mainstream religious scholars. Instead, it is often found in fringe theories that seek to reinterpret traditional symbols in a negative light.
Saturn and Molech Saturn: In astrology and mythology, Saturn is often associated with time, death, and sometimes with the darker aspects of life. However, linking Saturn directly with the Star of David and Moloch is not a mainstream interpretation. Molech: As mentioned, Molech is associated with idolatry and child sacrifice in the Bible. The connection to the Star of David is made by some groups, but this view is generally considered outside of orthodox Judaism and Christianity.
Satan Connection The claim that the Star of David is a symbol for Satan ties into a broader set of conspiracy theories that seek to demonize Jewish symbols or traditions. These interpretations are not supported by historical or theological evidence and are often rooted in antisemitic ideologies. Summary Amos 5:26 speaks to the Israelites’ idolatry, mentioning Moloch and Chiun, which are associated with false gods or celestial worship. The Star of David is traditionally a symbol of Judaism and is not historically linked to Moloch or Saturn in mainstream theology. The statement you encountered is likely reflecting a fringe or conspiratorial interpretation, which equates the Star of David with negative entities like Satan. This view is not supported by mainstream religious scholarship and should be approached with caution, especially given its potential roots in antisemitism. If you have more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask.
The reason the verse you mentioned is also quoted as Acts 7:43 is because the New Testament book of Acts references the same themes of idolatry that are found in Amos 5:26. Here’s how it connects:
Acts 7:43 Verse Context: In Acts 7, the early Christian martyr Stephen is delivering a speech to the Sanhedrin (the Jewish ruling council), recounting the history of Israel and their repeated disobedience to God. As part of his speech, Stephen quotes the prophet Amos to illustrate Israel’s history of idolatry. The Verse: Acts 7:43 reads (in the King James Version): “Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.” Connection to Amos 5:26: Stephen directly quotes or paraphrases Amos 5:26, drawing a parallel between the Israelites’ behavior in the past and the rejection of God’s message in his own time. The names “Chiun” and “Rephan” (or “Remphan”) are sometimes considered different transliterations of the same deity associated with Saturn.
Does it seem like the huge increase in airplane turbulence, especially clear air turbulence, could be in part caused by the increase in galactic rays due to magnetic field weakening AND in coombination with increased solar activity?
ChatGPT said: ChatGPT The increase in airplane turbulence, particularly clear air turbulence (CAT), could indeed be influenced by a combination of factors, including changes in atmospheric conditions related to climate change, increased solar activity, and possibly the effects of galactic cosmic rays due to a weakening magnetic field. Galactic cosmic rays can potentially alter atmospheric dynamics by ionizing particles and affecting cloud formation and weather patterns. Increased solar activity, such as coronal mass ejections (CMEs), can also influence the Earth’s atmosphere and magnetic field, further contributing to turbulence.
However, while these are plausible contributing factors, the primary driver of increased turbulence, according to current research, is more likely linked to changes in jet stream patterns and atmospheric instability caused by global climate change. The weakening of the magnetic field and cosmic ray influence is a more speculative area that would require further scientific study to establish a direct connection to turbulence.
You said: can you make a chart showing before and after jet stream patterns, and planes always have flown near and in the jet streams so just a change in position doesn’t seem to justify more CAT, so discuss that with evidence if it exists ChatGPT said: ChatGPT
Analyzed
The chart above illustrates a hypothetical comparison of jet stream patterns before and after the effects of climate change. The “Before Climate Change” pattern is smoother and more stable, while the “After Climate Change” pattern shows a more wavy and erratic jet stream, which can be associated with increased atmospheric instability and turbulence.
Discussion on Increased Clear Air Turbulence (CAT) While jet streams have always been a source of turbulence, the increase in CAT is not solely due to changes in jet stream positions but also due to the following factors:
Increased Temperature Gradients:
Climate change has led to greater temperature contrasts at different altitudes, which can intensify jet streams and create more unstable conditions in the atmosphere, leading to more frequent and severe CAT. Strengthening of the Jet Streams:
Some studies have indicated that climate change may be causing jet streams to strengthen in certain areas, which can lead to an increase in turbulence. Stronger jet streams create more shear in the atmosphere, a key factor in the development of CAT. Changes in Atmospheric Composition:
Increased levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases can change the vertical temperature profile of the atmosphere, leading to more frequent encounters with turbulence-inducing conditions at cruising altitudes. Galactic Cosmic Rays:
While not the primary cause, there is ongoing research into how galactic cosmic rays, which increase when the Earth’s magnetic field weakens, might influence atmospheric processes. These cosmic rays can ionize particles in the atmosphere, potentially affecting cloud formation and weather patterns, although their direct connection to CAT is less clear and remains an area of active study. Solar Activity:
Increased solar activity can cause disturbances in the Earth’s magnetosphere, which could theoretically contribute to changes in atmospheric dynamics. However, like cosmic rays, the direct impact on CAT is not well-established in current research. Conclusion While jet stream changes are a factor, they alone do not fully explain the increase in clear air turbulence. The interplay between climate change-induced atmospheric instability, stronger jet streams, and possibly cosmic rays and solar activity might contribute to the observed rise in CAT. However, the most significant and well-supported factor remains the changes in atmospheric stability due to global warming.

The video transcript you provided covers a discussion that begins with a reflection on the current state of Western society and its perceived decline, focusing particularly on the cultural and moral aspects. The speaker traces the roots of these issues back to historical developments, specifically involving the Jesuits, a Catholic religious order founded in the 16th century.
Summary of the Key Points: Current Western Society:
The speaker expresses concern over the moral and cultural decline in contemporary Western society, noting a sense of powerlessness among the population. The decline is presented as something that has emerged suddenly, but with deeper historical roots. Historical Context:
The discussion traces back to the 16th century, exploring how the Jesuits, who were initially highly influential in education and evangelization, eventually faced suppression and expulsion from many countries, including by the Pope himself. The Jesuits are described as having undergone a long and rigorous formation process, emphasizing discipline, intellectual rigor, and obedience, which set them apart from other religious orders. The Jesuits’ Rise and Fall:
The speaker outlines the Jesuits’ rise in influence due to their dedication to education and missionary work, particularly their success in evangelizing the elite, which was seen as crucial for shaping society. The narrative then shifts to their decline, highlighting how they were expelled from many regions and eventually dissolved by the Pope, which marked a significant turning point. Reflection on the 20th Century and Vatican II:
The speaker discusses how the Jesuits, along with other religious orders, were infiltrated and compromised by modernist influences in the 20th century, particularly after Vatican II. This infiltration is linked to broader societal changes and the weakening of traditional Catholic structures. Personal and Historical Perspective:
The speaker references Spanish history and Catholicism, drawing on the works of Spanish historians and theologians to provide context for the discussion. They emphasize the importance of understanding history to grasp the current situation. Future Exploration:
The video concludes with a promise to delve deeper into the Jesuits’ expulsion and the events leading up to it in subsequent videos, aiming to connect these historical events to the current state of society. The overall theme of the video is a reflection on how historical events, particularly those involving the Jesuits, have shaped the moral and cultural trajectory of Western society, leading to the present-day challenges.
stock here, Mahalo to the Cuttlefish. There are 2 videos, which will get their own article. Note the story imparts Journalistic Propaganda in 1614, Edward Bernays eat your heart out. But who made this propaganda.
The “Monita Secreta” (or “Secret Instructions”) is a controversial and historically disputed document purportedly associated with the Jesuits, officially known as the Society of Jesus, a Catholic religious order founded by Ignatius of Loyola in 1540. The document has been a significant part of anti-Jesuit and anti-Catholic propaganda, especially during the 17th and 18th centuries.
Background of the “Monita Secreta”: Authorship and Publication:
The “Monita Secreta” was first published in 1614 in Krakow, Poland, and its authorship remains disputed. It was attributed to Claudio Acquaviva, the fifth Superior General of the Jesuits, but this attribution is widely regarded as false. The document was claimed to be a set of secret instructions given to Jesuit superiors to guide their actions, often implying deceit and manipulation for the order’s benefit. Historians and scholars generally believe that the “Monita Secreta” was a forgery, likely created by opponents of the Jesuits, such as those in Protestant circles or others who were critical of the Catholic Church’s influence. Content of the “Monita Secreta”:
The document purportedly outlines strategies for the Jesuits to gain power and influence, including tactics such as exploiting the wealth of the order’s benefactors, manipulating powerful figures, and using deceit to further the order’s interests. Some of the specific instructions include acquiring wealth by any means, using confessionals to extract secrets, and fostering divisions among enemies of the Church. Impact and Spread:
The “Monita Secreta” quickly became a tool in anti-Jesuit propaganda, particularly in Protestant countries where the Jesuits were viewed with suspicion. The document was reprinted multiple times across Europe and was used to justify accusations of conspiracy and subversion against the Jesuits. Despite its dubious origins, the “Monita Secreta” fueled conspiracy theories about the Jesuits for centuries. The order was already seen by many as powerful and secretive, and this document reinforced those fears. Historical Rejection:
Over time, many scholars, including some Protestant historians, recognized the “Monita Secreta” as a forgery. The content and tone of the document were inconsistent with the known practices and policies of the Jesuits, and there was no evidence to support its authenticity. Today, the “Monita Secreta” is widely regarded as an example of early modern propaganda, illustrating how religious and political tensions of the time were often inflamed by fabricated documents. The Jesuit Response:
The Jesuits themselves vehemently denied the authenticity of the “Monita Secreta” and worked to refute the allegations. They argued that the document was a slanderous attempt to discredit the Society of Jesus and to undermine their work in education, missionary activities, and other fields. Conclusion: The “Monita Secreta” is an important artifact in the history of religious and political propaganda. While it reflects the fears and suspicions that surrounded the Jesuits during a turbulent period of European history, it is not a genuine representation of the order’s practices or beliefs. Instead, it serves as a reminder of how misinformation and forgeries can be used to shape public perceptions and fuel conflicts.
If you’re interested in further reading, scholarly works on the history of the Jesuits often address the “Monita Secreta” in the context of anti-Jesuit propaganda, offering a detailed examination of its origins and impact.
It seems likely that the Ashkenazi, often seen as Zionists, could have created the Secreta in order to drive division between the catholics and the jesuits.
ChatGPT said: ChatGPT The idea that Ashkenazi Jews, often associated with Zionism, could have created the “Monita Secreta” to drive a wedge between Catholics and Jesuits is a speculative theory with no solid historical evidence to support it. The “Monita Secreta” is widely regarded by historians as a forgery created as part of anti-Jesuit propaganda during a time of intense religious and political conflict in Europe.
Historical Context of the “Monita Secreta”: Anti-Jesuit Sentiment: The “Monita Secreta” emerged in a context of significant opposition to the Jesuits, particularly from Protestant groups and certain Catholic factions who were suspicious of the Jesuits’ influence within the Catholic Church and their involvement in education and politics. These opponents feared the Jesuits’ loyalty to the Pope and their role in the Counter-Reformation, which sought to reclaim territories and souls lost to Protestantism.
Authorship and Attribution:
The document was first published in Kraków in 1614, and its authorship has been traditionally attributed to those who sought to discredit the Jesuits. The claim that Ashkenazi Jews could have been behind this forgery lacks substantial evidence. Theories about the origins of such documents often reflect the prejudices and scapegoating tendencies of the time, where various groups were blamed for social or religious conflicts. Religious and Political Dynamics in Kraków:
Kraków in the early 17th century was a religiously diverse city within the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, with significant Catholic, Jewish, and Protestant populations. However, there is no historical record suggesting that the Jewish community, including Ashkenazi Jews, had any involvement in the creation of the “Monita Secreta.” The Jewish community in Kraków during this period was primarily focused on maintaining its own religious and cultural practices while navigating the challenges of living in a predominantly Christian society. Zionism:
Zionism as a political movement advocating for the re-establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine did not emerge until the late 19th century, long after the publication of the “Monita Secreta.” The association of Ashkenazi Jews with Zionism would therefore be anachronistic in the context of the early 17th century. Forgery as a Political Tool:
Forged documents like the “Monita Secreta” were often used as political weapons in the religious and ideological battles of the time. The creation of such forgeries was more likely the work of those who were directly opposed to the Jesuits’ influence within the Catholic Church and broader European society. Conclusion: While conspiracy theories have often suggested various origins for controversial documents like the “Monita Secreta,” the overwhelming consensus among historians is that it was a product of anti-Jesuit sentiment, likely created by those within Protestant or other opposing Catholic factions. The theory that Ashkenazi Jews were involved in its creation is not supported by credible historical evidence and seems to reflect a retrospective and speculative interpretation rather than a documented fact.
For a deeper understanding, it is important to consult historical scholarship on the subject, which thoroughly examines the document in the context of its time and the broader religious and political struggles of early modern Europe.
stock here: this is kind of funny. Move over Ryan Gosling!
Second gentleman Doug Emhoff is the type of “progressive sex symbol” modern women want, a liberal Washington Post columnist argued in her column published Friday.
“Move over, Ryan Gosling. The modern female fantasy is embodied by the man who might soon become our first First Gentleman,”Catherine Rampell wrote.
What is curious, is that this same writer, criticized the so-called Harris plan to put price controls on basic food items, like Venezuela or Cuba.
Since Gov. Tim Walz joined the 2024 Democratic ticket, media figures and Harris supporters have argued that Walz and Emhoff embrace a more modern version of masculinity that men should aspire to.
In leaving his prestigious law career to support Vice President Harris after the 2020 presidential race, Emhoff showed he was the kind of “fantasy man” women dream about, Rampell claimed in her column.
“Emhoff appears to be a genuine mensch with an impressive career. He’s smitten with his wife and supports her ambitions, as is obvious from his convention speech and their sweet interactions on the campaign trail,” she continued. “But most important for this sexy sobriquet: Emhoff is secure enough with his own masculinity to sometimes prioritize his wife’s ambitions over his own.”
Rampell dismissed questions about Emhoff’s role model husband status after he recently admitted to an extramarital affair that ended his first marriage.
“Whatever his previous marital drama, that makes him the working woman’s ideal partner today: He’s a high-achieving alpha, but isn’t threatened if his wife is, too,” the columnist continued her argument. “He loves his job, but he loves his wife more. He knows that ‘supporting’ one’s family is about more than financial support, and that temporarily setting aside his own professional ego makes him no less of a man.”
The columnist argued that the Democrats’ version of masculinity stands in sharp contrast to Republicans’ version of manliness.
“Women at least want a mate who won’t resent their career success — a tangible concern, given that divorce has been statistically more likely when women received job promotions or outearn their husbands. Hence, the Emhoffian ‘wife guy’ fantasy. Which, needless to say, sharply contrasts with conservatives’ portrayal of manliness,” she argued.
“Instead of helping men appreciate how they fit into their evolving families and communities today, Trump offers sexist name-calling and weaponized nostalgia. ‘Make America Great Again’ means returning to a 1950s-era economy, with its attendant gender (and racial) roles,” she scolded.
What women actually want is “to be valued and supported as much as they deserve,” by their husbands in private and public, she wrote. “On that score, Emhoff looks like a dreamboat.”
Rampell isn’t the only media figure making this case. CNN anchor Dana Bash recently said that Democrats are trying to appeal to men who might not be as masculine as their Republican counterparts.
“But they are doing so in trying to put forward male figures, Tim Walz being one of them, Doug Emhoff last night, who can speak to men out there who might not be the sort of testosterone-laden, you know, gun-toting kind of guy who wants to listen to Hulk Hogan and the kind of players that came out at the RNC or might want to listen to that,” she said.
ESPN analyst Mina Kimes also praised Walz’s “different kind of masculinity” in comments last week.
“We’re kind of seeing it in the NFL with the Kelces, and Dan Campbell – this idea that ‘big, tough football guy’ isn’t separate from showing emotion and empathy,” Kimes said on Pablo Torre’s podcast. “Yes, they’re calling him ‘coach’ and what not, but in the same breath, they are emphasizing, ‘this man, the year he was a football coach, also ran the gay-straight alliance at the high school.’ That’s really powerful in a way that goes far beyond politics and electability, which is the discussion we’re having. There are very few models like that in American public life.”

He visits the Buddist temple where they do a Thai Village food fest, and says please follow their dress code, no bikini, have some respect and the food is frickin good! LOL.
stock here: He really did repeal a law that protected babies that “got out”, so that if the baby was born, the mom or presumably the husband could also demand that the doctor kill the baby out of womb. This was 2023.”
In Minnesota under Governor Tim Walz, the Protect Reproductive Options (PRO) Act was signed into law in 2023, ensuring the right to abortion without explicit gestational limits. This makes Minnesota one of the states with the most expansive abortion rights in the country. The law enshrines access to abortion and other reproductive health services, such as birth control and sterilization, and prevents local governments from enacting restrictions.
However, the claim that 5-6 babies are “born alive and then murdered” under these laws is more complex. Reports do indicate that between 2019 and 2022, several infants were born alive during abortion procedures, but the Born Alive Infants Protection Act, which required care for such infants, was repealed in 2023. This has led to controversy, with critics labeling it a medical and ethical concern (MPR News)

Rosa, once a happy teenager, spiraled into confusion during the Covid lockdowns, leading her to believe she was in the wrong body. Dr. Miriam Grossman, a child psychiatrist, highlights the growing medical crisis of gender dysphoria, which has surged by 5,000% in recent years. Grossman criticizes the medical establishment for pushing gender-affirming care, rooted in flawed research, that can result in irreversible damage to young people like Rosa. While countries like the UK, Sweden, and Finland are pulling back on medical interventions in favor of counseling, the U.S. and Canada continue down a dangerous path. Grossman urges her medical colleagues to stand against this agenda and protect vulnerable children. Rosa’s story ended well thanks to early intervention, but many others are still at risk.
The incidence of gender dysphoria has increased 5,000% over the past decade. A French report has called current treatments potentially “one of the greatest ethical scandals in the history of medicine.” So, why do the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, and many other medical associations support it?
PragerU is not an accredited university, nor do we claim to be. We don’t offer degrees, but we do provide educational, entertaining, pro-American videos for every age. View counts represent cumulative views from our website and social media channels.
Rosa was a smart, happy fourteen-year-old when she met her first boyfriend.
“I found my forever”, she told everyone – until he suddenly ended it.
Rosa was devastated – and the Covid lockdowns made things worse. She was isolated in her room all day, surfing the net.
As the lockdowns dragged on, Rosa became sullen, irritable, and withdrawn.
Her tank tops and shorts were replaced by oversize hoodies and baggy sweatpants
One day Rosa came home with a buzz cut. Shortly after, she declared she was a boy and demanded testosterone.
During my medical training, Rosa’s condition, now called gender dysphoria, was so rare, I never imagined I would see even one case in my lifetime. But over the past decade, the incidence of gender dysphoria has increased five thousand percent.
What changed?
Why did Rosa believe she was in the wrong body, and that without pharmaceuticals and operations, she’d never be happy?
Why do the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, and many other medical associations claim that Rosa’s delusion is normal? Why do they recommend treatment that will disfigure and possibly sterilize her healthy body?
Before I answer that, let me tell you what hasn’t changed:
Sex is established at the moment of conception. Sex is permanent. While Rosa’s body can be modified, she will never be a boy.
Never.
But my profession has been hijacked by a political crusade determined to erase the very notion of male and female.
Medical associations have become mouthpieces for the gender zealots’ radical theories:
Individuals construct their own reality. If Rosa feels she’s a boy, she is one.
Hormones and surgery are the only solutions to gender dysphoria. If Rosa wants to grow a beard and to have her breasts removed, she has that fundamental right.
Those are the premises of so-called Gender Affirming Care.
Proponents claim the approach is evidence based, but the evidence is flimsy at best.
It rests on one small study done in Holland thirty years ago with only 55 subjects.
The primary entry requirement was severe gender distress from early childhood.
The subjects were given puberty blockers, opposite sex hormones, and occasionally surgery.
After 18 months, some subjects reported modest improvement.
The study had no control group and was never replicated, so for those and many other reasons, it’s considered seriously flawed and unreliable.
The “Dutch Protocol” was never intended to be the basis for helping all individuals distressed about their sex.
But that’s what’s happened. A tiny, defective study became the basis of gender medicine around the world.
This is a medical scandal, a man-made catastrophe, that has shattered many lives – not only of young people, but those who love them.
My colleagues, who should be protecting vulnerable kids like Rosa, are complicit in this atrocity.
Some by writing prescriptions, others with a scalpel, but the majority by witnessing the evil and remaining silent.
But there is reason for hope.
The most comprehensive review yet of Gender Affirming Care was recently commissioned by the National Health Service in Great Britain.
Dr. Hilary Cass, former president of Britain’s Royal College of Pediatrics, analyzed data from England’s Tavistock Gender clinic, the largest in the world until it was shut down in 2024.
Her report is a scathing indictment of the clinic’s practices. She demonstrates there is no evidence medical interventions benefit gender-distressed young people.
What the kids need, Dr. Cass concludes, is counseling.
Great Britain, Norway, Finland, Sweden and Denmark have essentially stopped medical treatment of teens whose bodies are one hundred percent healthy, and are focusing on their minds and hearts.
The Netherlands, France, and Belgium are not far behind. In March of 2024, a report in France described sex reassignment in minors as potentially “one of the greatest ethical scandals in the history of medicine.”
But in the US and Canada, I’m sorry to say, it’s full steam ahead.
How do we stop this runaway train?
As a doctor, I’m going to put the responsibility on my colleagues. Do your research. You’re not hearing the other side of the debate. Read the Cass Report. Your medical associations have lost their way. Understand this is not about compassion or rights, it’s about tyranny.
Stand up to the activist bullies. Speak out against the sacrifice of children on the altar of a perverse political agenda.
Let me end where I began: with Rosa. Her story has a happy ending: her parents and I pulled her back from the brink. Tragically, many other Rosas have been lost, and many others are still out there. We must save them.

The comments about Kamala Harris and her reference to the cloud can be categorized and summarized into a few general themes:
Criticism of Intelligence or Competence Many commenters express skepticism about Harris’s intelligence, often using humor or sarcasm. Comments like “She has 0 brain cells,” “She’s a real airhead,” or “Her brain is not in a physical place” suggest disbelief in her intellectual capacity to lead the country. Others mock her understanding of technology, such as “What does she think hard drives & servers are made of – fairy floss & gummy balls.”
Political Concerns and Warnings Some comments reflect deep political concern, worrying about the future of the U.S. under Harris’s leadership. Phrases like “America is doomed,” “We are f… if this thing gets elected,” and “God help us all” convey a fear of negative consequences if Harris were to become president. This theme also includes distrust in the electoral process, with comments like “Another fixed election if she wins.”
Humorous and Sarcastic Responses Many comments are simply humorous or sarcastic, poking fun at the idea of Harris being “in the cloud” or out of touch with reality. Examples include: “Biden is in the basement and she’s in the cloud” and “In the cloud where your brain lives.” These comments aim to ridicule her perceived detachment from practical matters.
Supportive and Positive Comments A minority of the comments express support for Harris, praising her leadership qualities or potential. For example, “We’re all praying that She’ll be the next President” and “I love her! She so awesome! Next President for sure.”
Religious Appeals Several comments invoke religious sentiment, either praying for help or using religious language to express disbelief or hope. Examples include: “God help us all” and “May GOD help us all 🙏.”
General Disdain for Leadership A recurring theme in the comments is a dissatisfaction with the current leadership in the U.S., often conflating Harris and Biden in the critiques. Comments like “Biden is in the basement and she’s in the cloud” and “She is explaining why we have floundered around as a nation” reflect a broader critique of the administration’s performance. These categories show a blend of political, emotional, and humorous responses to Harris’s remarks about the cloud, with most of the commentary leaning toward negative or mocking tones.
In a cloud, not in a physical place, seriously this is the mentality of the person in charge of the most powerful nation on earth. What does she think hard drives & servers are made of -fairy floss & gummy balls Her brain cells are working to hard for the logic 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
She is explaining why we have floundered around as a nation for the past 3 1/2-years and wants to continue this level of leadership for the next 8-years – “in this cloud that exists above us right!”
I love her! She so awesome! Next President for sure. First up is changing our Foreign Policy in Haiti, South America and the Sahel region of Africa. She’ll Make America the good guys again!!
ENOUGH WITH THE HATE!!! WHY SPREAD HATE?!? Like one side is better than the other, NO MAN OR WOMAN ON THIS EARTH WILL SAVE US. Also, God didn’t teach us to spread hate, and God doesn’t hate anyone he shows love. So why are we spreading hate?!? Ridiculous 🙄
Oh yeah , she’s definitely presidential material. Can you imagine her talking to Putin or Xi of China negotiating trade deals and economic policies and issues for America and the American people
The Cloud: A network of servers: The cloud is a network of remote servers that are connected and work together as a single system. These servers are located in data centers around the world and are used to store and manage data, run applications, and provide services like streaming videos, web mail, and office productivity software. Cloud computing is the delivery of these services over the internet, which allows users to access their files and applications from any device with an internet connection. This eliminates the need for users to manage physical resources themselves, and they can pay for only the services they use.
I have probably viewed 10,000 Earthquake patterns in Hawaii, and I can say that I have never seen a pattern that even remotely looked like the current one. Keep in mind, that big 4.7 EQ right on the Hilina Slump last week.
Review that in light of the 6.9 EQ that just hit Tonga, and deep at 100km. Now review back 2 years, January 2022, to the largest earthquake in 100 years at Hunga Tonga. It created pressure waves that were detected by even home weather stations across the world. There were underwater pyroclastic flows of lava that went as far as 80 km!!!!
LOL as much as I like and appreciate the research, these scientists repeatedly throw down “there is so much more work to do”, whilst ignoring the realities of the global electric circuit, and space weather. And they don’t know Nova! Below video from Nova. It erupted for 8 hours and then finally went off with equivalent 70 million tons of TNT.
stock here: some reality is always good. Especially now. When whitey is especially demonized against all others. This Hawaiian historian presents history in ways we haven’t seen before, even after living there 35 years. I was at a symposium of US expert historians talking on a wide range of subjects. I would say they mostly held a liberal slant, but I did not detect the “leftist” at least overtly. And several of them talked about the subject of Indian Slavery….indeed Indians held other, conquered Indians, as Slaves. Not exactly the “live in harmony” meme that we have been fed all our lives.
King Kamehameha is revered for “uniting the island”. He decimated 3000 men, in Maui, in his desire to take Keapuilani as his wife. But after the battle she escaped to Molokai, and then her grandmother
stock here: I have spent several hours watching Vance interviews and debates over the past week. This guy is sharp, and he does not fall for argumentative traps. Here is one example.
stock here: is anyone else paying attention to this stuff? My Third Eye told me immediately that Hannah was an important part of all of this, and so I did an exhaustive search on her. Found some post mortem quotes from her friends at school, not a single picture, pretty much she was a ghost to the internet.
Well looky there, it appears the NYPost has a larger budget than me, they found a picture, notice the clenched hand on the girl and the bad teeth on big Lynch.
On the first day after the sinking, they said they found Mr Lynch and Hannah in a room trapped by mattresses. So why did they then just find Hannah yesterday?
The ship builder fully blames the captain and crew……
“The torture lasted 16 minutes. It went down, not in one minute as some scientists have said. It went down in 16 minutes. You can see it from the charts, from the AIS [Automatic Identification System] tracking chart,” he told The Financial Times.
“The captain should have prepared the boat and put it in a state of alert and of safety.”
“Ask yourself – why were none of the Porticello fishermen out that night? A fisherman checks the conditions and a ship doesn’t? The disturbance was completely readable on all the weather maps. It was impossible not to know,” he added.
Great Thanks to Miss Frill, aka Flying Cuttlefish, who brought this to my attention. I have meant to return to the study of the Magnetic North Pole movement (excursion). There is a wealth of information in this video, of course I have subscribed.
