I thought the same thing. In fact while Trump was dancing with the Village People two of the village people kissed on the lips. I didn’t see Trump freak out. He continued to use the song last night. I don’t see why people are afraid unless they have been listening to the left’s continuous fearmongering. I felt more fear during the last four years than ever before in my life. Fear of the spread of diseases that have been manufactured to make us sick and the medications created to keep us sick. My fear isn’t over, but I have some hope now.

My fear was the vax pass- we had places here you had to show you were jabbed! “Show me your papers!” I swear I have ptsd

Me too.

I never took the poison needle and I was discriminated against because of it.

Me, too . . . and I spent several years trying to help friends and family with links to doctors treating covid, etc. I gave away my own stash of IVM over and over. I was told not to attend certain gatherings, etc. Not one person has said, "I'm sorry. I was wrong."

No one has apologize to me either. Not even the mayor of the city of Boston, who mandated the injection for me to go anywhere, including just to go to a restaurant, while she allowed performers at the big venues, and their staff, to go without. But if I wanted to go to those same venues I had to be injected.

Those people should be called out and held accountable.

I can't begin to imagine what it was like living in a city with a mayor who mandated these shots to go anywhere. Even just reading your comment makes my heart rate increase. Somehow we have to let go of the anger and the fear, but it's no easy thing. I live in Texas in a rural area, so I was spared from a city-wide ban. It was bad enough, but my heart goes out to anyone experiencing what you did.

Cheryl - so evil. The only solution I can think of to stop stuff like vax passes, is for everyone to refuse to comply. Sadly, so many people got fooled. It’s so wrong.

Yep. When the local Menard's home / lumber store manager and one of his female tattler's insisted I wear a mask I refused and gave 'em hell. I had been jabbed and it mattered not a bit to them-- mask up.

That was April 2021.

I walked out not entering again for many months and still I go to Home Depot instead-- back only when a product is unavailable elsewhere.

They are forever now on my BLACK list; I had bought 10's of thousands of $$ of goods over the last 30 years. Screw them and the horse they rode in on.

I have blacklisted many corporations with my financial advisor for DEI / woke policies.

My hat reads: "Do Not Comply."

Thanks for sharing. What you are doing (refusing to comply) is the ONLY solution, it seems. If only everyone would do so.

it really bugs me when I consider all the girls who buckled under when "trans/ queer" boys joined their team or opposed them on another team and they failed to stand as a TEAM against it; should have all walked out of the arenas! However, their damn, woke coaches are who REALLY failed-- as it is they, the "leaders" in public education, who FAILED those kids and led them to bow to this garbage.

Exactly. Good example. It’s not hard to realize that if every girl on a team and every coach refused and pushed back, this wouldn’t happen. People have got to buck up amd stop worrying about things being awkward. I think it’s called ‘courage’.

Yeah, I, an old guy, was rudely ordered out of Menards by some punk who I set in his place and told him to get the manager who I also set straight, not that it did any good, nor did I expect it to.

Wouldv'e gone to Home Depot but people were standing in a long line and all were masked. They were only letting a limited number of people in at a time. More fools; no thanks.

I can't stand the concept of Amazon, so I made do with what was available and am not a bit sorry for that.

All "big box" enterprises with their special (government) pampering and privileges can go straight to (bleep). In fact, the concept of corporations and their "limited" or non existent liability needs to be abolished along with a whole host of other things like the "federal" gubmint, especially Obamacare, parasite bailouts, and the "Federal" "Reserve."

Me too Cheryl! I was an ICU nurse for 18 mins during the pandemic. I eventually had to retire early at age 59 because I couldn’t stand the constant “take the jab” pressure and the lack of care patients got on the front end that led to their death in the ICU where I was. My brother says to me when I tell him to not take the boosters “when are you going to get over it? It’s been four years already!” I’ll get over it when RFK, Jr is confirmed and we have an NIH and CDC and “experts “ that are held accountable for what they did to us.

So, you think Big Pharma wasn't trying to keep people sick and diseased before 4 years ago? Come on, this isn't new. We'll find out if this new administration will actually avoid caving into the big money flowing in from lobbyists and pharmaceutical corporations. Maybe RFK can get something accomplished. But, Trump did nothing in his first term to address or improve the FDA, CDC, Big Pharma influence. He helped rush and usher in the Covid vaccines. I have a little hope, but want to see actual results. I want to see Trump prioritizing what's actually important. Changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico is not important to most citizens.

I don’t think most of us understood the subversiveness and corruption of the federal health agencies until after the COVID crisis. We can’t blame Trump for that. He listened to the wrong people. I believe he chose RFK to right that wrong. I think Americans are united to see that he accomplishes the this goal. I have hope!

As far as the comments from the archbishop, she is just another ideologue who doesn’t understand Gods design. Leave the LGBTQ community alone to live the way they desire. However, please stop shoving their lifestyle down our throats. We don’t care. However, stop those who are trying to groom our young people to question their gender. It’s just sick!!

He has a brain, doesn't he? Are you saying he's too clueless to have at least some rough ideas about how the system has been working since forever, and that he needed something to tell him what to think? It did not take a genius to see what a farce the whole thing was.

At the very least he should have had enough street smarts to know when some "advisor" was attempting to blow him a smoke enema.

Oh I know it didn’t start 4 years ago. But what did start 4 years ago was me waking up. My hope is that Trump will listen to RFK Jr. Also, I don’t think Trump will mandate vaccines. I hope for a lot of things. But, I do agree with you. I still think that we have less to fear with this administration than the last. After all, who knows who was actually running the country, I doubt it was Biden. It’s their agenda for us that is truly nefarious and worrisome. And that is actually my point, it is what people should be scared of. Not Trump himself , but it depends on what and whom you listen to.

a bad sign was yesterday's presser Trump held with 3 billionaires, Oracle's Larry Ellison described an example of how these combined 3 companies' huge half a trillion $$ project will bring AI to medicine-- including its use in near instant mRNA(yes, he USED that term!) vaccines for solving an individual's potential cancer "infection" in short order.

Likewise, we have never heard Trump backtrack on OWS-- Operation Warp Speed -- for the mRNA poison. . . and we never will.

It is my belief Trump used RFK, Jr. to catalyze and bring surety to his election but, will neutralize him to the extent he will resign in less than a year. I pray I am wrong. . .

In the last four years I have felt exactly as you've described . . . more fear than ever before. To see and understand what they did to humanity is like nothing I ever could've imagined. The maniacal actions of relatively few worked because the majority of people are followers and are either unwilling or incapable of questioning "the authorities". I pray that more people find the courage to wake up and stay awake. I have hope, but we must never let our guards down.

This is what happens when you have a practicing non-Christian as a President and there's nobody interested enough to ensure no jackass is the officiant at the changing of the guard.

It will never work- too many side effects and the carrier molecule is inorganic in nature (purposefully), so it never ever breaks down. It should never be applied to the human body . It changes DNA by use of reverse transcriptase and forever has altered the DNA of the offspring of those who volunteered to have it administered. It’s directed misapplied scientific experimentation on human beings with the intent to have the body fail on itself over time. It doesn’t look purposeful. Slow poison. And if you have cancer- you died from cancer and not the expensive chemo or the mRNA treatment.

Jesus came to set people free. He was moved to action by his compassion for those in bondage. He brings healing (physical and emotional) , deliverance (from evil - like demons), and FREEDOM!

Luke 4:16-19 MEV

[16] He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day. And He stood up to read. [17] The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. When He had unrolled the scroll, He found the place where it was written: [18] “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the broken-hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed; [19] to preach the acceptable year of the Lord.”

AussieManDust, you say that, "Every church conspired...when they all urged Emergency Authorisation Use...."

To say that "they all...." is way wrong. Consider, for example, the open letter FROM Curate Jamie Franklin and Rev. William Philip, TO Prime Minister Boris Johnson, presented AT Unherd, on YouTube, on April 20, 2021.

The open letter eloquently presents the case against "a medical apartheid in which an underclass of people who decline vaccination are excluded from significant areas of public life".

The open letter had been signed by 1,533, as of May 10, 2021. We do well to remember them.

By the same token, John Leake, to give up on an entire Church because of one bishop delivering a poorly-written homily on a bad day (she could have/should have done better), is giving up on your own local churches. If you visit some of them, I believe you will find some kind of meaningful fellowship.

The word "woke" or "wokeness" is so over-used that it's losing it's meaning rapidly. It now refers to almost everything a conservative disagrees with. The word is used so much it's run into the ground and squashed. What did you have to talk about before you had this word to use? Woke is used to describe a rally or march for something you "don't" agree with. But, if you agree with the purpose of a march or rally, it's not a "woke" event. You see a TV commercial with a black and white married couple having coffee in a coffee shop, the company is being "woke". You walk down a city street and pass by an inter-racial married couple walking into a coffee shop and it's just a "couple", not a woke thing.

All we know is what someone said he said. Given the various levels of translations, errors in transcription and plain old human deviousness we'll never know what he said or meant.

Point is, he can be made to have said practically anything by anyone at any time, and then there are legions who'll "interpret" what he was supposed to have said to fit their own, often perverted, agendas. Covid should have taught us all to trust few, if any, "authorities, especially quacks, corporatists, and clergy.

Decline of the Episcopalian church has gone on for decades. They left their biblical foundation in favour of their liberal agenda. This woman bishop is typical of their demise. The Bible specifies the requirements to be a bishop and one is to be the husband of one wife. Hardly fitting for a woman even if she thinks she is a man. Also the promotion of homosexuals right from their archbishop down, is totally against scripture. They are not a Christian organisation but simply a religious one.

The Episcopalian Diocesan Conferences, which we are required to attend, are full of Leftist drivel.

Don't you think that we as Christians have an obligation to hold the "church's" feet to the fire?

You are correct, I believe.

I believe the woman, Budde, simply suffers from what most people do who have a glimpse of the limelight today. She feels she must enlarge her part to become a world savior. She's in the spotlight. She's the Star of the Show!! Instead of focusing inward and sussing out her motives for such a tirade, she sallies forth with nary a hint of hesitation. She might discover that she wallows in conceit, arrogance, and ego if she genuinely confronted herself. I would imagine the role of any clergy upon inauguration of a president would be to pray for his wisdom, strength, and fortitude in carrying out his duties while placing a blessing upon the nation.

It's a bit more complex. The christian church has a very very long history of castration and gender destruction in monasteries and nunneries. People trying to escape gender is common in religious society. Having compassion for the weak and oppressed *is at the core of christianity.

I’m a cradle Episcopalian. I agree with you.

I feel like an early Church member must have felt during the reign of Mary Tudor, privately reading my Morning Prayer service, praying alone.

I miss participation with others but I’ll pray alone rather than go to a church where I’m harangued about reparations by a masked virtue signaler.

Even during the 1980s and the early days of AIDs when no one was quite sure of all the ways it could be spread, we shared one cup during communion.

I stopped attending regularly after the masks, sterile gloves, paper plate with one wafer held at arm’s length for me, no cup, became the regular practice during the recent plague/Fauci syndrome.

I pray for the return of faith to our bishops and clergy, that we turn back to Jesus, take solace in our beautiful liturgy, embrace one another in the spirit of Christ’s peace, and fear not.
