A lot of banks stopped providing personal lines of credit. Bank of America hasn't provided that option for years. They offer credit cards with high interest or customers can do equity lines of credits on their homes which gives a lower interest rate with collateral. It could have to do with fears of the market but I think it has to do more with profit and minimizing risk.
I had my kids vaccinated on schedule but I know many that have had them wait until they were older. I have never had a problem with getting vaccines for the ones that have been around decades. I did not have my kids vaccinated for HPV or meningitis because they were too new. My gut told me not to and now new studies are showing the HPV vaccine may cause infertility.
My husband got whooping cough a few years ago and it was awful. Whooping cough can kill newborns. I will not give medical advice. I would recommend looking into the vaccine and the disease and make a determination based on the risk compared to the reward.
I listen to Dan Bongino. He was a New York cop and secret service. He still has some connections and will give inside info every once in awhile. He doesn't talk too much about election fraud and when he does, he always is hestitant about it. He is a Trump supporter and has written 3 books on the Russia Hoax. He is passionate about truth, against CRT, censorship. I don't think he is controlled opposition. I don't know if he follows q. Every once in a while he will say things and I think he does. Like one time he said something about no one is coming to save you like 3 times and then the 4th time he said it, he added the word yet,
His 1st interview on his radio show was Trump. So, I think that says something.
He also had made it clear no one has replaced RL. There were just several people that took over his timeslot for the various media companies.
I listened to a podcast about this the other day. They deny teaching CRT because technically they are not blantantly teaching CRT. They label it as Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and embed factors of the ideology into the curriculum. The left is really good at manipulating language so that while they are telling the truth they are still lying. I read another article which called this paltering. They are giving partial information and altering the language to make something seem better than it is or to misquide the recipient into what is really going on.
Congrats on your upcoming wedding. I wish you the best.
It is so frustrating to have family members that buy into all this crap. My daughter was excluded from her cousin's graduation party because she is not vaccinated. It is sad to see a mom believe that her 2 year old is at risk of getting the virus or would think wearing a mask is preventative medicine.
Try not to let it get you down. They are the ones that have to decide whether or not to let fear drive their choices. I hope they come around and will choose to be part of your big day.
You have a really good point. That is a hard thing to choose to do. The masks are not healthy and do not work but if you could use it as a way to educate others on the vaccine and the way it is being weaponized, is it worth it....assuming those that ask aren't already vaccinated. I personally would choose not to wear the mask because I can't stand them but I can understand why you would.
My grandfather was 2 when he lost both parents and his grandmother to the 1918 flu epidemic. It makes me sick to think he was orphaned because of a pandemic or even because of mask mandates as Fauci's 2008 study suggests.
I actually gained massive respect for Putin a few years ago when he told his country that they would not be changing the way they did things to sastify the minority. That they will continue to do what is best for the majority. We were (and still are) going through this major shift in our culture to bend to all these different causes for small marganilized groups and Putin warned he wasn't going to let it happen in his country.
I was thinking this as well. We are from Az but moved to Ks last year. My son got a call tonight from a friend in AZ. His friend's dad helped with getting the cameras set up for the audit and they were volunteers for the count. He couldn't say much but told my son to get a gun and have a to go bag packed. With the audit wrapping up, the FBI statement, and this phone call, something is on the horizon and things are heating up.
I laughed so hard when I saw an article on this. I was on the phone with my daughter and asked her how stupid is CMT to promote gun control? Do they not understand who their audience is?
Doesn't q tell us they think we follow the stars? Ummm, yeah, people are not going to follow the stars and give up their right to bear arms.
I left Az last year for the same reasons. Lived south of Phoenix in a small town for most of my life. As Phoenix grew, so did my small town. Trying to get into the metro area was getting dangerous due to congestion and inattentive drivers. More and more areas voting for dems turning our red state to purple (probably through fraud). I do love where I moved too but soon found out that we are in an area that most likely has major fraud ( red state, dem govenor).
How damaging is it to be told that because of your skin color you are either an oppressor or oppressed? If you are white, every thing you do will be looked at through a racial lens looking for overt racism or microagressions. If you are not white, you are being told that you are a victim of systems created by your oppressors to keep you down. There is no hope of getting free from thesesystems unless the oppressors are taken down.
How awful is it for children to be part of affinity groups where they are segregated by race or sexual identity? Where they meet to discuss shared experiences of discrimination without white people. Or to have white students in an affinity group to address their white supremacy and white guilt.
How can anyone justify asking white students to atone for something they were not part of?
JP Sears just did a video on teaching CRT to kids. It is satire but he makes great points. Chris Rufo has also written some great articles on this subject.
I just went to her website and she is wanting secure borders, back the blue, get "woke" culture out of our classrooms, preserve rural and farming communities, getting more water to Az, and providing truth. It looks like she is running on a solid platform.
I have always been a big proponent of public schools and supporting your local school district. After a year in a new school district, I am homeschooling my son. He is going into High school and I cannot expose him to the crap going on.
I moved to a new state last year and a district that has been the worst in the area on mitigation processes and the school board does not care about the parents. The May school board meeting the president of the board had YT ban the video because of misinformation on Covid by the parents. Which everything said by the parents was 100% factual. I was one of the parents to speak. The school board is now trying to get parent comments excluded from all future videos of meetings.
While there, I started talking to other parents and found out that our schools are applying CRT to the curriculum. They began affinity groups. If a student disagrees with anything they become a target and there have been several students beaten up because of it.
I also found out that our school board president has been the one pushing all the covid crap because her child has other health issues. She is also married to a Democrat state rep. There is someone running against her this year but until voter fraud is addressed in our county, I don't think a change will happen.
My in laws and mom think I am making a mistake because they think he needs the High school experience but what is going on in schools is not the High school experience I want to subject my child to.
It is a hard decision to make. There are homeschool co-ops everywhere that you can join to provide social engagement and share knowledge. I wish you the best and you will make the best decision that will fit your child/children's needs.
