A family vacation takes a deadly turn‚ and now a wife wants to save others from a ‘shallow water blackout.' What might have started as a carefree game of holding breath underwater quickly spiraled into a life-threatening situation. Amid a serene summer day at a North Carolina island resort‚ Erin Watson and her husband Chandler‚ along with his family‚ engaged in a familiar challenge: swimming the length of the pool without surfacing for air. It's a game they had played so many times while on family vacations in the past. With laughter and excitement echoing through the air‚ Chandler‚ vibrant and full of energy‚ eagerly accepted the challenge. RELATED: He Saved His Baby Sister From Drowning And Their Reunion Afterward Was So Emotional Innocent Fun Took a Perilous Turn However‚ as he reached the far end of the pool and remained submerged‚ what began as innocent fun took a perilous turn. Bubbles emerged at the water’s surface‚ initially dismissed as part of the game. Yet‚ as seconds turned into agonizing minutes‚ the jovial atmosphere dissolved into fear and panic as Chandler’s loved ones realized the gravity of the situation unfolding before their eyes. Chandler’s mom grew increasingly anxious and hurried to the poolside‚ calling out to her husband in alarm. At first‚ Erin couldn’t quite grasp the urgency of her mother-in-law's reaction‚ but as Chandler’s dad moved to pull him out of the water‚ Erin knew right away something was deathly wrong. &;quot;The second his dad got him out of the water we could see his gray skin and blue lips. He was limp and lifeless. His dad checked his pulse and realized his heart had stopped‚ so he started performing CPR by the side of the pool.&;quot; Erin recalled. God Was There God had the right people in the right place at the right time. Two doctors were also lounging by the pool that fateful day and rushed over to help as they knew seconds in a situation like this mattered. The doctors continued CPR while waiting for the ambulance to arrive. By then‚ Chandler had not breathed on his own in more than five minutes. All hope seemed lost. In a last-ditch effort‚ the paramedics used a defibrillator to try and shock his heart into starting. One paramedic suddenly shouted‚ “There’s a pulse.” Chandler was then rushed to the hospital‚ where they learned he had fallen victim to ‘Shallow Water Drowning.' RELATED: Two Young Kids Come To The Rescue‚ Save Boy Drowning In A Pool Shallow Water Drowning Stems From Holding One’s Breath Underwater The phenomenon of shallow water drowning stems from the deceptive nature of holding one’s breath‚ as Chandler did before submerging. This action tricks the mind by maintaining exceedingly low levels of carbon dioxide in the body‚ effectively hindering the brain’s respiratory signals. Consequently‚ individuals may experience a sudden loss of consciousness‚ rendering them vulnerable to this silent peril called shallow water blackout. The mortality rate associated with this type of incident exceeds 90% due to the absence of visible distress signals. Remarkably‚ this particular form of drowning unfolds four times faster than conventional drowning methods. It’s nothing short of a miracle that he is alive today‚ two years on from the incident. In a remarkable turn of events‚ God’s grace intervened that fateful day‚ sparing Chandler’s life from the brink of tragedy. Chandler and his loved ones are on a mission to raise awareness about the dangers of shallow water drowning. Through their advocacy efforts‚ they aim to educate others about the silent peril lurking beneath the surface during seemingly innocent pool activities. Chandler’s journey‚ marked by a clean bill of health following rigorous medical examinations‚ stands as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the remarkable power of faith.

The judge overseeing Trump’s ‘Hush Money’ trial held Trump in contempt of court on Tuesday. Judge Juan Merchan held Trump in contempt of court on Tuesday for violating his gag order that prohibits him from speaking about those involved in his case. Merchan claimed Trump violated the gag order a total of nine times by posting on Truth Social about Michael Cohen‚ Stormy Daniels‚ and others involved in the case. Merhcan fined Trump $9‚000‚ which is $1‚000 for each violation. The New York Judge then threatened Trump with jail and stated the court “must therefore consider whether‚ in some instances‚ jail may be a necessary punishment.” BREAKING: Judge Juan Merchan ruled Trump in contempt for nine violations of his gag order‚ with a fine of $1‚000 for each instance.

Judge Juan Merchan said Trump violated the order nine times in recent weeks in posts on Trump’s Truth Social platform and campaign website‚ many of which targeted Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels‚ key witnesses in the case. Merchan fined Trump $9‚000‚ or $1‚000 for each violation‚ and ordered him to delete the posts. The judge announced the ruling from the bench and issued an accompanying written order. He wrote that Trump “violated the Order by making social media posts about known witnesses pertaining to their participation in this criminal proceeding and by making public statements about jurors in this criminal proceeding.” Merchan wrote that New York law doesn’t allow him to impose a fine higher than $1‚000 per violation‚ which “unfortunately will not achieve the desired result in those instances where the [defendant] can easily afford such a fine.” He said a higher fine might be appropriate in those cases‚ but since he does not have that discretion‚ the court “must therefore consider whether in some instances‚ jail may be a necessary punishment.” MAJOR BREAKING: Donald Trump has been held in criminal contempt for violating his gag order NINE times. Merchan laments that he is bound to only fine Trump $1000 for each incident ($9000) and says jail may be the only way to stop Trump from violating. He adds this… pic.twitter.com/LOsVrIZKTD — CALL TO ACTIVISM (@CalltoActivism) April 30‚ 2024 Per NBC News: The judge presiding over Donald Trump’s hush money case on Tuesday held the former president in criminal contempt over a series of posts on Truth Social that he said violated a gag order barring any attacks on jurors and witnesses and warned Trump he could be jailed for further violations. Judge Juan Merchan ruled Trump in contempt for nine violations of his gag order‚ with a fine of $1‚000 for each instance. He warned in the decision that he would not tolerate further violations of the order and said “if necessary and appropriate under the circumstances‚” he would impose “an incarceratory punishment” on the former president. The judge explained that because the fines‚ which are limited by state law‚ were relatively little in comparison to Trump’s wealth‚ they might be unlikely to deter the former president from abiding by the court’s order. Merchan said that while he would prefer to impose commensurately larger fines‚ he instead had to consider “whether in some instances‚ jail may be a necessary punishment.”

Vaccine manufacturer AstraZeneca has finally admitted in Court that its COVID-19 vaccine could result in life-threatening blood clots. The Daily Mail reported that‚ Cambridge-based AstraZeneca… acknowledged in a legal document submitted to the High Court in February that its vaccine ‘can‚ in very rare cases‚ cause TTS’. TTS is short for thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome – a medical condition where a person suffers blood clots along with a low platelet count. Platelets typically help the blood to clot.  The admission by AstraZeneca is the first of its kind. The question now is – if you got the vaccine‚ what can you do about it&;#63; Dr. Peter McCullough has been one of the leading experts on treating long COVID and the health impacts from COVID-19 vaccines. Since very early on in this process‚ Nattokinase has shown great potential in treating some of the most serious side effects of both. According to Dr. McCullough‚ the threat of micro blood clotting is serious for those impacted by long COVID and the vaccine: Post-acute sequelae after SARS-CoV-2 infection (long COVID) and after COVID-19 vaccination are characterized by micro blood clotting . The work of Scheim et al suggests the majority of syndromes in both cases are due to Spike protein mediated hemagglutination and then the development of small clots that serve the major organs in the body.  Xi et al demonstrated increased risk for microclots visualized in retinal arteries and veins in the COVID-19 vaccinated. The good news is that yet another study is confirming just how effective Nattokinase can be in treating these dangerous conditions. From the International Journal of Molecular Science: Nattokinase‚ from the Japanese fermented food natto‚ is a protease with fibrinolytic activity that can thus degrade conventional blood clots. In some cases‚ however‚ including in Long COVID‚ fibrinogen can polymerise into an anomalous amyloid form to create clots that are resistant to normal fibrinolysis and that we refer to as fibrinaloid microclots. These can be detected with the fluorogenic stain thioflavin T. We describe an automated microscopic technique for the quantification of fibrinaloid microdot formation‚ which also allows the kinetics of their formation and aggregation to be recorded. We also here show that recombinant nattokinase is effective at degrading the fibrinaloid microclots in vitro. This adds to the otherwise largely anecdotal evidence‚ that we review‚ that nattokinase might be anticipated to have value as part of therapeutic treatments for individuals with Long COVID and related disorders that involve fibrinaloid microclots. Dr. McCullough treats hundreds of patients in his clinic with a wide range post-vaccine and long COVID symptoms. Says Dr. McCullough: “Far and away the most common question I get from those who took one of the COVID-19 vaccines is: ‘how do I get this out of my body&;#63;’… At three and one half years into the pandemic and two and a half years into the COVID-19 vaccine debacle‚ myself and my clinic partners formulated a baseline regimen upon which additional drugs or agents can be added. A SIMPLE SOLUTION Dr. McCullough continues‚ “We searched the literature for all available sources of evidence for products that can aid the human body in breaking down and catabolizing the Spike protein. We found nattokinase‚ which additionally has fibrinolytic properties which are advantageous in the prothrombotic milieu induced by the persistent Spike protein… Out of all the available therapies I have used in my practice and among all the proposed detoxification agents‚ I believe nattokinase and related peptides hold the greatest promise for patients at this time.” This ground-breaking discovery catalyzed Dr. McCullough to design The Wellness Company’s Spike Support Formula containing nattokinase. To-date‚ tens of thousands of people have tried Spike Support and the results have been nothing short of miraculous: Feeling so much better&;#33; I decided to try Spike Support after talking with a friend that recommended this product. I had 2 Covid shots because my husband has degenerative heart condition and our doctor said to get the shots. He had no side effects but I ended up with an erratic racing heart beat and had problem with ringing ears‚ tasting and smelling‚ even though I never had Covid. I have taken this product for 2 months now and noticed a difference in lots of things. No more racing heart beat‚ I’m smelling and tasting things better and my anxiety has subsided. – Audrey H. Worked for me: I have taken three of the mRNA vaxxes – I’ll never take another one again. The skin on my hands peeled after the 3rd vax‚ especially around my nails‚ to the point where I had deep‚ bleeding‚ incredibly painful fissures and cracks… I am sure the vax is what caused my skin problems as well – I’d never had this before being vaxxed. Bought the Spike Support as a desperate measure. Noticed about three weeks after I started taking Spike Support‚ the peeling‚ cracks and fissures around my fingertips‚ and under and around my nails have not only stopped but healed up. My hands are 95% better now. I am sure the Spike Support is what stopped it. – Barbara B. Spike protein recovery: This product has tremendously help me on recovering my heath and I highly recommend this product anyone that has long Covid or in the vaccine. – Estela M.

INVESTIGATION: Can You OVERDOSE On Ivermectin&;#63; So…is Ivermectin DANGEROUS&;#63; Is it “horse paste” that could very well kill you&;#63; The Ivermectin Freak Out by our Government reminds me of the “War on Drugs” trying to convince you you’d surely die from marijuana — despite there never being a single confirmed case. Same goes for Ivermectin. They claimed it was “horse dewormer” that could “put you in a coma” or even kill you&;#33; How dangerous&;#33; Except….that wasn’t true. Not even remotely. In fact‚ it is one of the safest and most effective medicines we have. What a combo‚ right&;#63; SAFE + EFFECTIVE. You usually get one but not both. IF YOU WANT TO PURCHASE SAFE AND LEGAL IVERMECTIN‚ KEEP READING BELOW&;#33; Watch this short clip from the Greg Hunter Show‚ posted to Rumble by The Vigilant Fox‚ where Dr. Pierre Kory makes it very clear how stunningly safe Ivermectin is: Safer that aspirin&;#33; VigilantNews had more (I put my favorite part in bold): But first‚ a quick look at his impressive credentials. “Pr. Jacques Descotes‚ MD‚ PharmD‚ PhD‚ Professor Emeritus‚ Claude Bernard University of Lyon (France)‚ [is] a world-known toxicologist with a 40-year track [record] as an independent consultant for the pharmaceutical industry as well as an advisor to regulatory bodies worldwide‚” BusinessWire wrote. In March 2021‚ he conducted a review of Ivermectin’s safety profile based on over 350 articles – plus accessible web sources. Here are his conclusions: “Ivermectin has been administered orally to hundreds of millions of people throughout the world in the past three decades. The assessment of reported adverse events temporally associated with Ivermectin exposure shows that Ivermectin-induced adverse effects have so far been infrequent and usually mild to moderate. “It is noteworthy that no deaths have seemingly ever been reported after an accidental or suicidal overdose of Ivermectin. No greater toxicity of Ivermectin has been substantiated in elderly people despite repeated assertions that an ageing blood-brain barrier might lead to increased Ivermectin toxicity level. The positive clinical experience accumulated with Ivermectin administration led many medical experts to break away from early adamant contra-indications in pregnant women. Finally‚ several national pharmacovigilance networks around the world released information and opinions to ascertain Ivermectin safety in human subjects. So far‚ there are no critical safety limitations to Ivermectin prescription in current indications. I also want to point out that no severe adverse event has been reported in dozens of completed or ongoing studies involving thousands of participants worldwide to evaluate the efficacy of Ivermectin against COVID-19.” Astonishing. So what would it take to overdose on Ivermectin&;#63; “In order to overdose from Ivermectin‚ you have to take either a hundred or a thousand times the standard dose‚” declared Dr. Kory. “And there have been accidental poisonings where people have taken large amounts. But you know what happens every time&;#63; When they take these massive amounts of Ivermectin‚ it tends to affect them neurologically. They’ll get confused. They might be stumbling — uncoordinated. They go to the hospital‚ and there’s no treatment required. But within days‚ the patients return to normal. So‚ there’s been no life-ending injuries. No deaths reported with Ivermectin. So‚ that shows you why it’s one of the safest drugs in history‚ even at massive overdoses. LOL…..100x and you MIGHT overdose&;#63; Wow. If you took 100x the normal glass of water‚ that too could kill you. Literally‚ that’s true. No‚ I’m serious….the normal glass of water is 8 ounces‚ right&;#63; 8 x 100 = 800 oz. What would happen if you drank 800 oz of water&;#63; It would be life-threatening‚ according to ChatGPT: Ok‚ so…to recap: Ivermectin is SAFER than Aspirin and SAFER or on par with Water. AND effective. Incredible. The only thing it isn’t&;#63;  Profitable for BigPharma Ahhhh‚ now you see why they hated it so much. Safe and effective&;#63; NOT liked by the FDA: Have you figured out yet that Government is NOT here to protect you&;#63; The SEC… The FDA… Pick whatever agency you want — they exist to protect Big Banks (SEC)‚ BigPharma (FDA)‚ and on and on and on….

But those types of shows have seemed to take a vacation‚ replaced by a subsitute sitcom called Commie Woke Anti-Anything-Good Propaganda. Even The Simpsons‚ an animated show that millions look forward to every Sunday wasn’t immune and has also gone the way of woke. Thank goodness Tim Allen is at work creating a new proper sitcom‚ Shifting Gears (working title). Make comedy legal again&;#33; pic.twitter.com/nTf9wmlfzn — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 28‚ 2024 Forbes reports: Jerry Seinfeld’s claim that the “extreme left” ruined the state of comedy on television roiled critics Monday and drew praise from the likes of Elon Musk‚ who posted an excerpt of Seinfeld’s controversial interview with the comment “Make comedy legal again.” Seinfeld told journalist David Remnick on “The New Yorker Radio Hour” that “the extreme left and P.C. crap” and “people worrying so much about offending other people” has extinguished comedy on television‚ alleging networks have decided: “We’re not going to do comedies anymore.” Seinfeld said viewers once had the ability to turn on the television at night and find a funny show‚ like “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” or “All In The Family‚” but asked: “Where is it&;#63;” Stand-up comics are the only comedic outlets left that aren’t “policed by anyone‚” Seinfeld claimed‚ slamming the multiple groups and committees television scripts likely have to go through before they can be aired. Seinfeld said that “Curb Your Enthusiasm‚” an edgier comedy show created by “Seinfeld” co-creator Larry David‚ only survived its 12-season run on HBO because David is an older industry veteran who was working in comedy television before the “P.C.” rules were written. (The irony is‚ Larry David is a huge Trump-hater‚ so I’m sure there’s plenty of woke blood flowing through him.) Seinfeld’s comments attracted significant social media attention‚ with some countering his remarks by pointing out that several sitcoms perceived to be less politically correct have thrived in recent years. One post on X‚ liked more than 10‚000 times‚ noted David had a successful 24-year-run (with several multi-year breaks) with “Curb Your Enthusiasm‚” while Julia Louis-Dreyfus starred in “Veep” (2012-2019) and won six Emmy Awards for her portrayal of a non-politically correct politician. The post also pointed to several provocative animated shows‚ like the long-running “Family Guy” and “American Dad‚” as non-politically correct shows on television. Other comments noted “It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia‚” the FX sitcom known for its provocative brand of humor‚ has aired since 2005. The Guardian film and television writer Stuart Heritage slammed Seinfeld’s comments as unreflective of his comedic career‚ writing that Seinfeld has positioned himself as a “deliberately inoffensive” stand-up comic who has previously stated he stays away from swearing and sexual content during stand-up routines‚ calling those topics the “easiest laughs.” The Independent editor Adam White suggested Seinfeld’s comments were misguided in a column‚ instead suggesting “modern-day viewing habits” are to blame. “If you’re Netflix‚ why bother investing money in a potentially unpopular new sitcom when millions are happy to watch old episodes of ‘Friends‚’ ‘The Office’ and‚ oh look‚ ‘Seinfeld’ instead&;#63;” White wrote. It will be nice to have some normal sitcoms again. Until Hollywood is fixed‚ and until Tim Allen’s show‚ which I’m looking forward to‚ we still have the old comedy shows on DVD and Netflix to watch.

And Jerry Seinfeld knows it. Seinfeld famously places comedy above almost everything… If it’s funny‚ it’s in. If it’s not funny‚ it’s out. The only thing that matters is if the audience laughs.  If they don’t laugh‚ it’s not funny and Jerry’s not interested in it. It’s an almost religious devotion to finding and producing comedy that has driven him his whole life‚ and it’s one reason (in addition to Larry David) that his sitcom is widely considered to be the best of all time. Because they obsessed about making every moment funny…and nothing else. No lessons learned at the end of the episode… No boring scenes to set up another scene… Every bit was either funny or it got cut&;#33; And that means there’s zero tolerance for things like Diversity‚ Inclusion and Equity. Comedy doesn’t respect DEI. You’re either funny or you’re not‚ and it doesn’t matter what your skin color is on either side of that equation. Babu (you’re a very bad man‚ Jerry‚ a very bad man&;#33;) was funny.  He was Indian and he was funny. The Soup Nazi was funny and he was Iranian or something‚ who even knows. Jerry‚ George‚ Elaine and Kramer were all white….and guess what&;#63;  They were funny&;#33; So Jerry was not amused when a Woke Buzzfeed reporter tried to ask him about the lack of diversity on Seinfeld: And that my friends is exactly how you do it&;#33; Bravo Jerry&;#33; Backup here if needed: Jerry Seinfeld shuts down reporter who tries to guilt him for having too many White people in his projects.

Simply put‚ it’s a call for comedy. I don’t know if you’ve noticed but there’s almost NO new comedy anymore. Stand-up comedians are about the last we have‚ and that would be stand-ups in clubs or doing specials. But put them on TV or in movies and it all turns to crap. Why&;#63; Because they go woke. Everything woke turns to shit‚ and that’s what’s happened with comedy. It’s been virtually destroyed. This is an opinion I’ve been working on for a while now‚ but then I came across this video I’m going to show you below and this man perfectly articulated everything I’ve been feeling and haven’t quite been able to put my finger exactly on it. But he does. You might think: Noah‚ who cares&;#63; But comedy is a powerful sword…. Laughter is the best medicine when sick‚ but comedy and satire are also some of the best swords against tyranny and tyrannical governments. And when that sword has been dulled or even completely lost‚ it’s a very bad thing. I was just saying the other day to someone: “tell me the last truly funny movie that was released in theaters.” She couldn’t name one. You literally have to go back at least a decade‚ maybe longer. Then I said: “tell me the last truly funny TV show you have watched…” Again‚ there’s virtually nothing&;#33; As the man says below in the video I’m about to show you‚ you do have South Park but they can’t do it alone. You also have Seth McFarlane who has pretty successfully also pushed back against woke. But who else&;#63; Hollywood is bankrupt of new ideas. And that’s not just some cranky old guy saying “things were better in my day”. Sorry folks‚ it’s a demonstrable‚ observable fact. Hollywood can’t seem to make anything new. Everything is a reboot. And the reboots all suck. Take Frasier. The original series is easily in the Top 3 sitcoms of all time. Absolutely brilliant actors surpassed only by more brilliant writing. The episodes were masterpieces. Now&;#63; Even the Frasier reboot is just “ok”. It’s almost like it’s written by fans who know the building blocks of what made Frasier funny‚ but they don’t have the skill in writing or casting to actually DO it. Hollywood has forgotten how to actually DO funny&;#33; Why&;#63; Because they are more concerned with social justice and ESG and all this other crap that is quite literally DESTROYING creativity and humor&;#33; I could go on all day with examples…. Leno and Letterman&;#63; Genuinely funny&;#33; Late Night now&;#63; It’s not watchable. It’s not even comedy‚ it’s mostly still hateful and mercilessly unfunny attacks on Donald Trump even though he’s been out of office for 3 years now&;#33; Even moving off comedy to drama‚ tell me the last truly great action or dramatic movie you saw in the movie theaters&;#63; I can’t think of one without going back to the early 2000s or 1990s. Instead we just get gross out‚ unfunny “Seth Rogan” movies. I know someone in the comments will say “you just don’t get it” …. and you’d be right&;#33; I don’t get it. Those movies are not funny. They don’t know how to structure a funny joke‚ let alone a funny scene. They’ve replaced COMEDY with the crutches of gross out jokes and bad language. Credit to Jerry Seinfeld who has a true love for the art of comedy. He has famously said many times that he realized early on he could get a cheap laugh by throwing in the F-word into a joke‚ but the joke wasn’t as good. He said he hated that as a comedian‚ and while he hasn’t made some pledge to be a 100% clean comedian‚ he eliminated most of it from his act because it cheapened his work. Seth Rogan and his ilk today never learned that lesson. They’re lazy and they’ll take the cheap “gross out” laugh thinking that somehow substitutes for comedy…. It doesn’t. So that’s my opinion‚ but honestly the guy in this video I’m about to show you articulated it better than I can. Which is why I want to share his video with you now. It’s time for a return of comedy&;#33; It’s time for a return of creativity&;#33; It’s time to cleanse Hollywood of the woke ESG libtards and allow FUNNY to come back&;#33; Be liberal‚ that’s fine. Just don’t go woke. It has ruined you‚ Hollywood. Very said. Watch this: And since I’m talking about comedy‚ you know I will take any excuse I can to show you Norm Macdonald videos. Losing Norm was another blow to comedy. Norm was definitely in the “Trey and Matt” category….a Maverick who bowed the knee only to COMEDY‚ not to Wokeism. A true legend. Here are some favorites…. The Moth Joke: Professor of Logic: Turtle: The infamous Courtney Thorne-Smith interview: The infamous David Spade / Dennis Miller Live chat: And perhaps the gold standard: We would later learn that this was both Norm saying goodbye to Dave but I believe also to all of us a bit early….

House Democrat leadership issued a statement regarding Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-GA) Motion to Vacate the Chair. Congressional Democrats announced they will stand behind House Speaker Mike Johnson and thwart any attempt to oust him from the position. “For months‚ House Republicans irresponsibly delayed critical security assistance to our democratic allies in Ukraine‚ Israel and the Indo-Pacific‚ while simultaneously blocking humanitarian assistance to civilians in harm’s way in places like Gaza‚ Haiti and the Sudan. Thanks to a bipartisan coalition of Democrats and Republicans‚ led by President Biden‚ we were finally able to meet the national security needs of the American people‚” the statement read. “House Democrats have aggressively pushed back against MAGA extremism. We will continue to do just that‚” the statement continued. “At this moment‚ upon completion of our national security work‚ the time has come to turn the page on this chapter of Pro-Putin Republican obstruction. We will vote to table Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green’s Motion to Vacate the Chair. If she invokes the motion‚ it will not succeed‚” the statement added. Read the full statement: “Hakeem Jeffries vows to save Mike Johnson’s Speakership. Why wouldn’t he&;#63; Johnson has given the Democrats everything they want‚” Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY)‚ who said he would co-sponsor Greene’s Motion to Vacate the Chair‚ commented. Hakeem Jeffries vows to save Mike Johnson’s Speakership. Why wouldn’t he&;#63; Johnson has given the Democrats everything they want.#UnipartyReveal pic.twitter.com/7w2pnAgUkg — Thomas Massie (@RepThomasMassie) April 30‚ 2024 The Hill reports: House Democratic leaders announced Tuesday that they will protect Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) from a potential conservative coup‚ all but ensuring the Speaker will keep the gavel through the remainder of the term. The proclamation from Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (N.Y.)‚ Democratic Whip Katherine Clark (Mass.) and caucus Chair Pete Aguilar (Calif.) is a remarkable development in the turbulent Speaker saga that’s hobbled the GOP’s governing majority from the earliest days of the 118th Congress — an unprecedented promise by the minority party to prop up an opposing leader for the sake of stabilizing chamber business. Their announcement serves as a response to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-Ga.) threat to oust Johnson over a series of deals he’s cut with President Biden‚ most recently on federal spending‚ government surveillance and aid to Ukraine. Greene’s resolution‚ introduced more than a month ago‚ has been endorsed by only two other GOP Johnson critics — Reps. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) — and a number of rank-and-file Democrats have been vowing for months that they would shield the Speaker from an internal revolt if he ushered those bills through the chamber.

I think this is going to open up a lot of eyes… Is your food FAKE&;#63; I think on some level we all know it is. We all know it’s full of chemicals and fillers and all sorts of other toxic things. We know that‚ but sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words…. ….and a video is worth a lot more. So I know you know it deep down already‚ and so do I‚ but I was STUNNED to see this video to see all the ways it is fake and toxic. It’s only 3 minutes long but it’s a huge eye opener. Take a look‚ from Rumble: Crazy‚ right&;#63; Speaking of fake food‚ let’s keep it going…. Have you heard of Bill Gates’ new company called “Apeel”&;#63; Bill Gates seems to think he IS God…and he won’t stop messing with our food supply. Here’s the latest…. It’s a company called “Apeel” and they place a “protective coating” over the outside of fruits. Gee‚ what could go wrong&;#63; Take a look: Beware – this is GM Gates ‘Apeel’ crap – DO NOT BUY&;#33; https://t.co/C6PphHTXcV — TheSmallestMinority (@G0dsW8r) April 12‚ 2023 Here’s what people are saying: If you see the Apeel logo on any fruit and veg do not buy it‚ this is a Bill Gates and WEF company‚ this chemical makes things last 3x longer and cannot be washed off‚ in US and Canada at the moment. pic.twitter.com/vvby1dZVxE — Ella Proud Refusenik (@EleftheriaElpis) April 12‚ 2023 @asda Asda is the first UK retailer to introduce Apeel’s plant-based protection to increase shelf life and help reduce food waste. Apeel was founded in 2012 after receiving a $100‚000 grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.https://t.co/HzVEoWrM4S pic.twitter.com/iGirpJPkQ0 — Step #NoLockDowns (@beatthesystem1) April 12‚ 2023 Checking on Wikipedia‚ we confirm this IS INDEED a Bill Gates funded company: So basically‚ Bill Gates has decided he needs to put a “protective cover” over fruit. You know‚ the “peel” that God created is no longer good enough. Unreal the arrogance and evil of this man: According to Apeel‚ the Avocados will last twice as long&;#33; Just spray this stuff on your food‚ no problemo: Here’s what they say from their website: From Eater.com: Throwing out spoiled avocados may be a thing of the past‚ thanks to a California-based startup that counts Bill Gates among its backers. Apeel Sciences says it’s devised a way to keep avocados at peak ripeness for twice as long‚ Bloomberg reports‚ which could drastically cut back on food waste at grocery stores (and at the homes of avocado toast-loving millennials). Apeel uses recycled plant material to make a powder‚ which is then mixed with water and used to wash the avocados‚ resulting in a kind of “second skin” being applied to the fruit. According to the company‚ “Apeel keeps moisture inside produce and oxygen out‚ which dramatically slows the rate that produce spoils.” Apeel says its product is odorless‚ colorless‚ and tasteless‚ and has been tested on more than two dozen different types of fruits and vegetables‚ though for now it’s focusing on the pricey and popular avocado. The company is currently testing its product on avocados in a partnership with produce supplier Del Rey Avocados; they will be available in more than 100 Midwestern grocery stores‚ including 30 Costco locations. While avocados that stay ripe for longer would seemingly be welcome just about everywhere‚ it makes particular sense for them to be sold at Costco‚ the bulk retailer where avocados are sold in multi-count bags rather than individually. Speaking of Bill Gates‚ if making the fruit toxic isn’t enough‚ he’s also trying to put the mRNA vaxx in Cattle&;#33; Hello mRNA steaks&;#33; Would you like your steak well done&;#63; Medium&;#63; Medium rare&;#63; No matter what you choose it’s about to also come with a side of the mRNA poison vaxx&;#33; How wonderful&;#33; **BUT KEEP READING‚ I HAVE THE SOLUTION DOWN BELOW** And who do we have to thank&;#63; Why‚ Bill Gates of course&;#33; Or as some of you have dubbed him‚ “Kill Gates” as an homage to his penchant for bringing death and destruction seemingly everywhere he goes&;#33; Just ask all the little African children he jabbed. But I digress‚ that’s a different story. Today I want you to see how proud he looks announcing his new partnership with DFID to jab all our cattle and inject them with the toxin mRNA vaxx. Because: “science”. Duh&;#33; Watch: Bill Gates explains how he’s putting the JAB into our food supply in partnership with DFID. Injecting the cattle&;#33; #Evil #Poison #Jab #Vaxx #Cattle pic.twitter.com/VA9swgMR2p — DailyNoah.com (@DailyNoahNews) February 25‚ 2023 Look‚ I don’t know about you but I don’t want mRNA in my meat. I want to eat big‚ beautiful Black Angus RED MEAT the way God made it&;#33; The very fact they’re trying to poison the meat tells you all you need to know. Meat must be very good for you. Especially meat without antibiotics‚ without growth hormones‚ without chemicals….and definitely without mRNA&;#33; But thanks to “Kill Gates” and his friends like Klaus (Anal) Schwab‚ that kind of unadulterated meat is becoming harder and harder to find. Why do the big companies pump the cattle full of all this crap&;#63; In Bill Gates’ case‚ I think he truly believes in a depopulation agenda. For all the rest&;#63; It’s business‚ baby&;#33;  Big business&;#33;  Toxic Big Business&;#33; These big companies raise the cattle in stalls with no space in between them. The result&;#63; One cow gets sick‚ they all get sick&;#33; So to keep the operation going‚ they are constantly pumped full of hormones and antibiotics….and then guess what goes into your body when you eat them&;#63; Guess what goes into your kids bodies&;#63; Ever wonder why kids are starting puberty at younger and younger ages&;#63; Couldn’t be related to them eating meat pumped full of cow steroids‚ could it&;#63; But enough about the problem…. I NEVER leave you with just the problem. You better know I’ve got the solution&;#33; I’d like to introduce you to Black Angus beef‚ pasture raised on hundreds of thousands of acres. Free roaming with plenty of open air between all the cattle. Grass fed. No hormones and no antibiotics.  Never&;#33; Oh‚ and it’s CHEAPER than Omaha Steaks&;#33; BOOM‚ who loves ya baby&;#33; The only “catch”&;#63; It’s Invite only. Good thing you know someone that has the invites….(me&;#33;). If you’d like to find out more and get a FREE personal invite‚ just go here and tell them Noah sent you:  http://bit.ly/3E5K89d It’s the real deal‚ and because they don’t raise the Black Angus like the big companies do‚ they may have the SHUT OFF invites if they grow too fast. So if you want in‚ let me know soon. It’s all part of something bigger I’ve just started working on. Let me fill you in… When I started this website back in 2015 I started it because I was on a mission… I wanted to get the truth out to as many people as possible. The truth that wasn’t being covered anywhere else. I started with literally 0. Zero experience… Zero money… Zero backers… Zero readers… Zero of any of you&;#33; Along the way‚ we’ve built a massive community of people who love America and want to see our country become great again. We now average between 4 and 6 million readers EACH MONTH&;#33; And we’re growing again‚ pretty quickly. More importantly‚ the MISSION is growing&;#33; But we’ve also faced major opposition. Oh it hasn’t been easy by any stretch of the imagination. We were DELETED from Facebook after having 1.5 million people Follow and Love our Page&;#33; Just poof….one day‚ gone&;#33; We’ve been censored on almost every platform out there‚ emails sent to Junk or just “disappeared” despite people signing up over and over. Speaking of email‚ we’ve had two email companies ban us because they went Far-Left. So it hasn’t always been easy… But we’re on a MISSION and mission always wins out in the end. And today I want to tell you about an expansion of that mission. From Day 1‚ our mission has been about getting the truth out to as many people as we possibly can. But after being deleted‚ banned and censored by almost everyone out there‚ I realized pretty quick that we need a Parallel Economy&;#33; We need to stop sending our dollars to the corporations that hate us and want to see us gone&;#33; Remember the Georgia Guidestones&;#63; They literally told us they wanted to reduce us from 8 billion people on the Earth down to only 500 million. No big deal‚ right&;#63; Just an elimination of 94% of all people living right now. And yet we continue to shop at their big stores and send them our money‚ because until now we’ve had little choice. Well‚ today that changes. And today my mission EXPANDS… And I’m SO excited&;#33; Allow me to introduce you to the solution. It’s time to “Make The Switch” and change where you send your dollars each month. What if I told you instead of sending your money to Jeff Bezos and Costco and Walmart‚ you could shop at the LAST pro-America‚ freedom-loving‚ American designer‚ manufacturer and shipper of all the stuff you buy each month&;#33; Oh‚ and what if I told you the products are BETTER and often CHEAPER&;#63; Yes‚ for real. And what if I told you this is the best kept secret you’ve never heard of before‚ but that this company has been doing this for the last 37 years&;#63; And their founder was once placed on Barack Hussein Obama’s list of the Top 10 most “Dangerous Conservatives” in America&;#63; (a list I one day hope to make myself&;#33;) All of that is real and I’m so excited to tell you about it and I hope you’ll join the MISSION with me. Here’s a quick summary of this company that I’m so excited to now be partnered up with on this mission: Sound good to anyone else&;#63; Me too&;#33; The reason you’ve never heard of them is because it’s Invite Only. I can get you in‚ but you can’t just go sign up. They only want people on the same mission to join and they’re happy to say “no” to the Far-Left Libs&;#33; They’ve been doing it for 37 years and it’s been working great. Oh‚ and did I mention the products are non-toxic and don’t have all the chemicals and crap like Red Dye 40 that all the Big Corporations put in their products to weaken you&;#63; To wear you down&;#63; To make you — and your family — sick&;#63; Because then when you get sick you’ll buy their drugs&;#33; Sorry folks‚ I don’t play that game and neither does my family. We’re talking the LAST all natural‚ grass fed‚ no hormone‚ massive beef cattle ranch in the United States…. Sound good&;#63; We’re talking Fluoride Free Toothpaste‚ chemical free cleaners‚ Deet-free mosquito repellant&;#33; What novel concepts‚ right&;#63; Stop sending you money to these 11 corporations that do NOT have your best interest at heart: It’s an ILLUSION of choice. There’s only one pro-American‚ American made and manufactured‚ chemical free‚ toxin free‚ hormone free‚ company left….and I’m teaming up with them to FIGHT BACK&;#33; Who’s with me&;#63; Watch this: https://switchwithnoah.com Backup here if that doesn’t play: Want in&;#63; It’s invite only….https://t.co/9cjSEFFqKF pic.twitter.com/aRfYggpCGo — DailyNoah.com (@DailyNoahNews) July 26‚ 2023 As I said‚ it’s Invite Only and the invite is completely free&;#33; In fact‚ I’ve assembled a team of patriots who will personally get you invited and signed up….if you want in. It’s called “Patriot Switch” and I think the name says it all. Folks‚ we don’t have many strongholds left. This is one. And I’m all in. If you’d like to find out more and get a FREE personal invite‚ just go here:  http://bit.ly/3E5K89d Tell them Noah sent you and I promise you will get a personal call‚ text or email. Don’t freak out when you do. And make sure you tell them you are interested in the Black Angus beef&;#33; I know I tend to get concerned when I get messages from numbers I don’t recognize‚ but if you request a Free Invite (Link here: http://bit.ly/3E5K89d) you WILL have someone from my Inner Circle reach out to you….so be ready&;#33; These are awesome people and I think you’ll love getting a chance to talk with them. And they’ll help get you all set up. Who’s with me&;#63; – Noah p.s. Since everyone gets personal attention‚ we will take these in the order in which they come in.  So if you are excited‚ ask for your invite now or you might be far down on the list.  I have a great team‚ but they can only do so much and they’ll work on a first-come‚ first-served basis.

Review by Ralph Greco‚ Jr. As long in the tooth as I am‚ it’s nice to be surprised by a classic band’s concert setlist; even better to be bowled over by it. Kansas pretty much knocked me out with a blistering two hours of their present Another Fork in the Road – 50th Anniversary Tour. Opening with “Belexes‚” from the first Kansas album‚ the group moved on to “Point Of Know Return‚” “Play The Game Tonight‚” and “Fight Fire With Fire.” The band then hit full steam ahead‚ showcasing their 50 years on the planet with some very deep cuts. The pairing of “Icarus – Borne On Wings Of Steel‚” with “Icarus II” was an especially tasty morsel‚ as was “A Glimpse Of Home‚” from Monolith‚ a song guitarist Rich Williams told me at the after-show he found especially fun to play. “Lonely Wind‚” another deeper cut from their first album‚ was played during their acoustic set. And as he did all night‚ Ronnie Platt sang these ‘softer’ tunes‚ which also included the expected “Dust In The Wind‚” just as well as he did the heavier numbers. Bassist Dan McGowan of The Tea Club should also be noted for stepping in for Billy Greer at the last minute for this show‚ having one day of rehearsal. He later told me he took this high-stress situation out of his bass this night‚ but he nailed all those complicated bass parts on the nose…and sang‚ too. A fast and furious read of “Down The Road” was dedicated to dearly departed Kansas violinist and vocalist Robby Steinhardt. Violinist Joe Deninzon jammed his all on his violin. Not only a great player‚ Deninzon is a wonderful visual foil for Platt during those moments when  the singer has to play the keys and sing. Of course‚ Williams managed his tasty playing standing edge stage left‚ manning both electric and acoustic guitar. Always a force of nature‚ he is still one of the great understated guitarists in rock. Tom Brislin‚ making those complicated keyboard parts look easy‚ was situated on a riser opposite drummer Eric Holmquist‚ standing in for Phil Ehart who is recuperating after suffering a stroke. Holmquist‚ temporarily promoted from his usual gig as Ehart’s drum tech‚ couldn’t have been better. Guitarist Zak Rizvi‚ who left Kansas in 2020 and now back for his first show‚ added just that right amount of heavier umph‚ especially felt on “Down The Road.” On the final lap‚ the group pulled out “The Wall” and a fantastic “Miracles out of Nowhere‚” before the expected encore of “Carry On Wayward Son‚” which gave us almost all of the first side of Leftoverture. This tour “will be put to bed‚” as Williams told me‚ with Ehart possibly returning to the band later in the year. But one knows. Like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz‚ we seem to be able to return to Kansas again and again. And lucky for us we can.
