I'm getting fed up with the blatant pestering and pan handling. Grocery store, "Would you like to round up for a charity you know nothing about?". Leaving, "Would you like to donate to no longer BOY Scouts?". Parking lot from obvious addict, "hi, we ran out of gas can you spare...". Bagel place, "Can you please fill out this survey?". Traffic light before class same crackhead walks in between cars showing the same sign expressing the same crisis third week running. Going to file for a license at city hall, "Can you sign this petition?, we'll tell you whatever you wanna hear it's for"... literally all of this just happened to me in the last hour and a half. I know I'm supposed to be loving but if I don't tell these people to fuck off they'll make a career from begging.
I'm 4 hours from a major city, it's in my face when I visit, I have nothing but mom and pops stores and a 17 mile drive into town normally. All the homeless stay in one part of town, here they're everywhere.
I especially hate the fast food locations asking for donations to whatever child trafficking organization that they’re part of. I’m convinced that anything to do with kids, is not helping them. People are literally helping to provide the trafficking of humans when they are making any donations at a drive-through. Change my mind 🤷♀️
I don't do fast food anymore but I have wired a Ronald Mcdonald House and know someone who unfortunately had to stay in one while his daughter died from a super rare form of leukemia but let's face it, McDonald's kills more people than cigarettes.
Red Cross is a huge scam hurting more than they're helping, can't stand them ringing their stupid bells all December, just makes me think of child trafficking not helping the needy.
Got up early this morning to make the kids lunches, and realized that "And We Know" & X22 no longer work on Apple Podcasts.
They still show up on the main search web page, but I can't get the player app to work.
Badlands Media is still working, so I'm wondering if anyone else has the same problem. I'm pretty sure X22 has been removed before so I'm suspicious now.
I use Rumble app on my iPhone to watch AWK and X22
I use Rumble for X22 using Brave browser on PC and iPhone.
Appears to work for me today. Frankly I got tired of that mischief with various apps and just go straight through the browser and stream.
Hope this helps.
I never really understood the Schrödinger cat thing...
But I keep thinking about it as all these Truths are being rolled out and normies are being forced to decide.
😂😂😂
That was actually Werner Heisenberg and the Uncertainty Principle.
lol
Such a bs question: you either admit to it, against your 5th amendment right not to incriminate yourself, or you lie and probably piss off the cop. Why are they even allowed to ask these questions? Its unnecessary. Cop can say, i clocked you speeding, heres a ticket, and if you disagree heres your court date. have a nice day

202-224-3121 for Representatives AND 202-225-3121 for Senators. We need to give a big push for the SAVE ACT to pass. Safeguard American Voter Eligibility ACT. I don't know the H.R. bill number or the S.R. bill number. Let your voices be heard.
❓ Question of the Day ❓
What kind of coffee drinker are you? Do you go all out and do gourmet coffee, or are you just a regular black coffee kind of person? How many cups do you drink a day?
• I was never into coffee, and didn’t start drinking it until I was in my 40s. But now… I’m a full on coffee snob. We have a pretty high-end Keurig machine, and over the years have bought all manner of flavored K cups. However; after pet sitting at a house that had Nespresso… I’ve stepped up my game. My brother bought me a Nespresso machine for Christmas, and I bought all different flavors of espresso - different beans from all over the world. Now we have the Keurig and the Nespresso. Of course I need my creamer and whipped cream, and if I really want to be fancy, I’ll make iced coffee with caramel or mocha flavoring. The iced coffee really turns out fantastic using the espresso. I refuse to use other peoples coffee pots because they kind of grossed me out, so I bought a miniature Keurig to take with me pet sitting. 😂😂😂 - I only drink one cup a day, but I want it to be the best.
1-2 cups each morning. Most lazy days instant. Always with a generous amount of heavy cream. When I use beans my favorite is a local maple walnut. I will percolate or pour over. The best treat, though, is butter coffee made with the maple walnut. Heaven.
I’ve never heard of butter coffee, I’ll have to look into it. I’m intrigued.
Blend/froth unsalted butter and MCT oil with the hot coffee. All the fat is so rich and it’s supposed to help the caffeine last longer instead of spike and crash. Aka bulletproof coffee.
I’m pretty simple. I grind my own beans and prefer organic ones. My favorite ones are from my home state of SC which are Charleston Coffee Grinders. I normally use heavy whipping cream because it has no sugar or carbs and it’s about 50 calories a spoonful. I do like to splurge some and have flavored coffee and flavored creams. Depends on the day as to how many cups I may have, but never any more than 3.
Heavy whipping cream is great for coffee.
Sure is, just the right flavor.
Sure is ❤️
I hated coffee for the longest time. "Ewww! Coffee is for grown-ups!" Then when I began drinking it, the only way I could drink it was with cream and sugar. There is a local shop in Japanese malls called Kaldi Coffee that sells nice French vanilla instant coffee. No sugar, but just the vanilla flaver to take the bitterness away. I drink that most mornings and my kid likes it too. I warm up a mug of milk in the microwave and add the instant coffee to it.
Sounds delicious. I know that Japan makes some of the best instant coffee sticks available. My brother ships them to us once a year. I keep them in my kit for pet sitting, in case I run out of coffee.
Kind of drinker? Avid.
Type? Mostly gourmet, sometimes "regular", rarely flavored, almost always black, never with sugar, usually dark roast, sometimes iced, sometimes with cream, almost never decaf, lately pour over, sometimes French press, drip, percolator, occasionally cold brew, freshly ground from beans is best (but I'm lazy), Peet's preferable, but I try many others as well.
Quantity? Lots.
As a little kid (maybe 4-5?) I was watching the adults drinking and wanted to try it. My dad told his mom (my grandmother) to give it to me black, no sugar, no cream (figuring I'd think it was too bitter, I suppose). I sucked it down and asked for more.
As I say now, if I'm in the hospital during my final moments I want it in my IV drip. "Nurse!!! What the hell is this?!? Decaf??!! Hell no!!! You get the dark roast regular in that thing NOW!!!". (Chuckle)
Yep gonna get all jacked up just to die 😂
As long as you're still breathing air, might as well live vibrantly. 😏
True 🤗
😂😂😂😂 Hard core - I like it!
I fill a kettle with cold water and add 3 scoops. I boil it for 4 minutes on medium high (high will cause it to boil over). Then i trickle cold water around the rim and in the spout. This causes the grounds to sink to the bottom. It's called cowboy coffee i think. No machine or mess. I drink the room temperature left over coffee in the pot each morning before dumping the grounds in the compost, this grosses people out for some reason. When it's fresh I always drink it black with ice.
Cowboy coffee… I like it. I have heard of this method, and I like that you use your grounds for compost.
Mmmm! There's nothing like a fried bologna sandwich. The poor man's steak dinner. Kek!
Oh my gosh yes! Grew up on fried “boloney” sandwiches with the edges burnt a little with mustard. 🤗
Delicious. So did I.
❤️👍
Not bad not bad... but whaddabout smoked bologna?! Yum! 😋
Oh yeah! I haven't smoked any of my own but my husband had a man he worked for that bought a large roll and smoked it. He brought me home a piece. Funny I never got around to trying to smoke one. Maybe I should buy a small smoker just for that purpose. Thanks for reminding me.
Not to argue with that, it sounds good, but for me it is two beef pot pies over a bed of rice. Man, that would be my last meal if it ever came to that 😁
That is also a great meal as I have had that too. That juicy brown beef gravy soaking down into the rice with the veggies and beef chunks. Yum Yum!
With onion!!
And sometimes tomato. THE BEST! That's what I had last night.
i believe i saw hollywood say goodbye. 'babylon' (2022) is a real trip.
We can only keep climbing towards our own personal crucifixions. It's the sure result of carrying our crosses daily it seems, frens. No good news on this home front (for those who know and may care). I can only keep working towards doing what MASTER did. 😢
One day at a time Fren. Just keep looking forward and never look back. Praying you will be encouraged each day. 🙏🏻
I am further persecuted by wife and son daily. Ridiculed and mocked by both even though i’ve earned and spent every dime and time on both of them. my son is working on his senior project and it is a marble roller coaster that is soldered together. I’ve tried to help him with my knowledge from high temperature silver brazing. he responds as if I’m a fucking retard and that I have absolutely nothing to add to him. in his eyes he is superior to everyone apparently he can finish his fucking senior project by himself. The wife has her heart set against me. I guess she is just tired of everything and tired of even trying and wants to strike out and start a new chapter I guess. Pretty much everything is fucked friends. But ill keep climbing to my Golgotha. I know my wife is going to leave me and I know my son is going to strike out and make a great future for himself and forget about my sorry ass and at this point I don’t give a flying fuck. The only thing I have noticed that it is awkward as fuck because My wife thinks I’m trying to play mind games with her. I guess she doesn’t realize that I’m just submitting. I refuse to walk out I refuse to give up I refuse to lash out. God breaks us. he has to destroy the mortal body in order to create the eternal man Crucify My ass, family, I don’t give a fuck. This dumb fucker is standing where God placed me. Someday I’ll be a fucking superstar. But it sure as fuck is not gonna happen on this goddamn shit rock in the state that it is in. Fuck the world and may God bless himself, for He is the only Name that deserves to be blessed. Jesus Christ is God eternal
I’m sorry that you have to endure this pain, but in life we all have pain by and struggles. Once we get past the anger and hurt, we can start to heal and come back stronger and different. We can’t control what other people say and do. But we are responsible for ourselves. So give it all over to him and let him pick up the pieces for you. May take quite a while but you will get there.
Amen i know that's right. This puzzle is effed but he's The puzzle Master.
Very well said 👍
Keep your eyes on Him, and you can’t go wrong. I know it’s a difficult time for you right now, and prayers are coming your way.
My Saudi friend passed on some info that may be of some interest. Today in the weekly the cabinet meeting the KSA government drafted a memorandum for a project that contains full cooperation between the Saudi Ministry of Interior and the American Department of Justice to exchange criminal information.
So the Q movement began after the LV shooting in October 2017, riding the wave of the Saudi roundup in which all those corrupt princes were arrested or killed fleeing arrest. Obama's friend Prince al-Waleed was one of them, and so was Prince Bandar, both of which had backed 9/11. Let's see if this new development in KSA will produce evidence of corruption among American uniparty scumbags.
Hi Fren : I was just yesterday trying to explain to a group of people about LV. These are people who work for me , and some friends , Over the past year I was able to help wake Them up . they used to be Biden votors , trump hates , mask and covid believers etc they are now totally on fire for DJT. Anyway LV is of interest since two of the group were there , we live in San Diego . I realized how little if any details I have about what really happened other then Saudi’s were involved . Can you point me to any videos, articles or info at all so I can gain more knowledge , thank you so much
Congratulations on waking the zombies up! That's great. I have no such luck, but then again, I'm just a recluse living in Japan. For one thing, you can explain to these ex-libtard friends of yours that the rate of fire of a bumpstock is way too fast to match the LV gunfire, which is the same rate of fire of a belt-fed M-249 SAW. Additionally, there were many precise headshots that would indicate a sniper rifle too (not possible with a highly inaccurate bumpstock which just sprays bullets everywhere). Plus there were shots fired at the petrol tanks at the airport area. There were multiple shooters, and some helicopters that were hovering in the area with their transponders switched off.
Unfortunately, YouTube scrubbed so much stuff, and at the time we didn't have other options like Odysee and Rumble. The SWAT team going into the Tropicana, the couple who were trapped in a completely unrelated casino hotel (Bellagio) after the windows of the bar on the 1st floor had all been shot out from a drive by shooting and the security guards were not allowing them to leave, and so many firsthand testimonials.
One important video was taken by a taxi driver who was parked right under where the shooting came from. It is clear from her video that you can hear at least two sources of gunfire. I got sick of arguing with idiots online who believe you can hear an echo BEFORE the actual gunshots, and I ended up just deleting stupid comments from such idiots. Not only that, but so many morons have claimed that the far away gunshots were Paddock going between firing from the window and firing down the hall from his suite's doorway as if he was Grover demonstrating "near" and "far," ignoring the fact that it's impossible for him to be shooting from both positions simultaneously. (I swear, people are so stupid.) I'm surprised this video hasn't been taken down yet.

Mindy Robinson did a good video about the LV shooting, detailing shots fired at several separate locations, with reports corroborated by multiple witnesses. There were people pinned down by close-range gunfire at an airport hangar. It's pretty interesting, showing a lot of footage that was removed from YT. Something I did not know before was that there was actual bodycam footage from when police breached the suite's door, and you can hear not only repeatedly that there were no broken windows, but that there were shots fired at the Tropicana at that time. Moreover, there was automatic gunfire heard near the Bellagio over an hour and a half AFTER Paddock supposedly killed himself.

The upper floors of Mandalay Bay were owned by Prince al-Waleed, Obama's friend who helped fund Obama's college education as well as 9/11. It's said that MBS was in town then, and there were so many shooters in different areas causing distractions in order to help an assassination attempt that was foiled.

Correct me if I'm wrong fren, but wasn't the uppermost floors split owned by the little prince with Billy Gates among other "philanthropists"?
The video said that those floors were sold to Gates.
Thanks again and I’ll get back to u after listening to the videos ;) who do U think tried to take out Obama ‘s buddy , the prince weedass or whoever !
Nobody tried to take al-Waleed out, but he was one of the princes who were rounded up during the Saudi Purge. There is definitely a connection between that and the LV shooting. Al-Waleed wanted to take out Mohammad Bin Salman (MBS), and apparently the shootings were a distraction. Some people were being shot in parking lots behind the casinos even, but the media didn't cover any of that.
My good friend Jim lost his daughter in law, the daughter in law and my friends son were there . Many people from San Diego were , I heard lots of story’s from people who were friends with the victims or the attendees who weren’t harmed .
Then there was that subsequent shooting at some cowboy dance bar (in California, I believe) in which there were crisis actors claiming to have survived both the Route 91 shooting and now that new shooting. The supposed video of the shooting that CNN purported to be genuine was just a jerky, low res video taken in a completely empty bar and some loud shots can be heard. That is what they claimed was so "disturbing." Fake. Then again, they had crisis actors in LV too. "Oh, I got shot in the neck, but I'm better now all the sudden." This led to people suspecting that the shooting was staged, but I think the main reason was that the propaganda media needed to control the narrative and did not want to risk the chance of an actual witness stating that there were multiple shooters, which is exactly what happened at the very beginning. There was also the woman interviewed who said that there was a Hispanic woman telling everyone that they were going to die before the incident occurred. THAT was memory-holed immediately.
Thank you so much for all of this info , im f going to sit down anc go through it . Yes the weird ass brother lol .
