This is exactly correct. As I have shared elsewhere, Justice demands that the perpetrators of the Constitution-shredding madness you describe be held accountable.
And yes, failure to do so invites an inevitable encore.
Spot on - though unlikely that the perpetrators will face any prosecution unless we the people do something, in unison, to cause it to happen. Our political parties have so much dirt on each other that when one falls - there go the dominoes.
I am hopeful that their piggybank gets a lot more scrutiny now that we DOGE. If that happens, I'll call it a win.
BTW do you think that Trump wanting to expand the debt ceiling as part of the budget negotiations was nothing but a Red Herring? I'm seeing merit in that. Having been in the sales game, I was taught that I should include things in the negotiations that are throw aways. Doing so will let the other side think they outsmarted you, but in the long run you've actually outsmarted them.
Truly, I don't like that tactic, but Trump wrote the Art of the Deal...
Michael, you write amazing essays which say exactly what we think and would like to say, but don’t have your talent.
But PLEASE don’t fall for the anti vaccine lore.
Fighting an invisible invader who seizes our bodies and uses them to multiply trillions of times, after which exits leaving them dead or crippled, and invades those we come in contact with to repeat the cycle, is a monumental task which cannot be done perfectly and which requires to operate with sufficient margin of safety - overdo it in the good sense of the way - just to have a chance to overcome it.
There are so many unknowns and huge risks in under-doing it, that under-doing it is NOT an option. Engineers build elevators and bridges five times stronger than what they are specified, for exactly this reason.
We should always learn from what happened so we can do it better next time - because next time will come - but is not fair to now, after we reached victory, to use hindsight vision to claim that we would have done a better job, not to mention to effectively lie that the vaccines miraculously developed in an amazingly short time were not effective and that they were “mandated”.
Yes, vaccines are not perfect, but nobody invented something better, and they saved humanity from far worse things, and they have to be mandated in certain circumstances, because the risks of not doing it are too high, but what was done deserves praise, not a witch-hunt!
I am not a biologist or vaccine expert, but I am the next best thing - a highly educated high-tech CEO with the knowledge and experience of digging in complex matters and analyzing them to decide what is right and what is wrong, and who says the truth and who lies, and I spent literally hundreds of hours, maybe thousands, investigating the claims from both sides - to start with for my own and my family’s safety, but then going far beyond that - and I was amazed by the huge wave of outright lies spread by the anti-vaxxers.
During any normal war those doing this would have been shot as traitors. THEY should be the subject of investigation and tarnished, NOT those who led us to an amazing victory!
YES, the “Democrats” - America’s Fascists - have used this to gain political advantages, and to steal an election. Investigate THIS instead of calling for a witch hunt against those who led us to victory.
You are one of the few people we have who has what it takes - the strength, the determination, and the talent - so please do it - fairly.
First, thank you for the compliment and thanks for taking the time to read my rants.
For the record, I am not anti-vaccine. I took the two initial Moderna doses - and tested positive for covid on two separate occasions afterwards.
I also am not a biologist or vaccine expert, but we have three years of post covid data from which to evaluate what happened and people were not protected by the shots they were given - many facing the choice of getting them or losing their livelihoods. The MNRA concoctions may have lessened the severity, but there is no data to suggest they prevented anything.
The polio vaccine is a vaccine because once you take it, you don't get polio. None of the covid vaccines can make that claim.
Michael, thank you for taking time to reply. I read a lot of your articles with great interest, and I love the great job you are doing to put words behind what we all feel is happening. And I share everything.
I don’t mean to enter into an argument with someone I respect, so let me just clarify a few things.
Vaccination is a very complex subject which can’t be painted in Black and White.
No vaccine prevents getting the virus, it just helps the body to recognize it and to mount a faster immune defense response - but because viruses multiply exponentially very fast, and hijack and destroy the cells in the tissues in order to do it, this makes a huge difference.
For this reason being vaccinated doesn’t always prevent having some - lighter - symptoms. And it doesn’t prevent being a vector carrying the disease. But can and most times makes the difference between not feeling well for a few days and dying or getting crippled, and the time you can spread the virus shorter.
Pandemics are also exponential phenomena, so even small differences can result in a dramatically different result, which in pandemics can mean millions of deaths and economic havoc avoided.
Many vaccines require boosters. To save space here, try a search with “Which vaccines require boosters” in ChatGPT.
The mRNA vaccine requires it because the immunity for this type of virus decreases after 6 months - but this is also true for the natural immunity you have after you get the real virus. Also because the virus mutates fairly frequently which requires a change in the vaccine formula, similar for example with the Flu virus which also requires annual vaccination.
Like all drugs vaccines, including the mRNA vaccines, have to be tested using Randomized Double Blind Placebo Control trials which remove the bias and the Placebo effect, to receive FDA approval. The results are public and quite impressive in terms of effectiveness - read them.
Look up “Where can I find data about mRNA COVID vaccination results” in ChatGPT and follow the links to see the real world results - they are equally impressive.
There is no military invasion without mandates - at least none which results in victory of the invaded party - and the COVID Pandemic was no different. And let me repeat that the mandates have to err on the side of overdoing it, because under-doing is disastrous in a Pandemic.
Last but not least there is no effective drug treatment without risks, and vaccination is no exception because to start with, in order to be effective vaccines need to elicit an immune response, and an immune response can produce complications in some cases - like the myocarditis cases. But these were greatly exaggerated to say the least, and for sure are, by far, the lesser of two evils. Look up “Covid vaccine heart issues” in ChatGPT for information on this.
Just to give an example the widely publicized Spike protein scaremongering is based on the false assumption that because the natural Spike protein is dangerous in itself, the one resulting from the mRNA vaccines wreaks havoc in our bodies, hiding that a patented modification in the mRNA code used in the COVID vaccine stabilizes the protein and eliminates the problem. So the vaccines DON’T encode the real Spike protein but a modified version. But those who perpetuate it don’t tell you this.
And this is just one example - the number of false claims about Covid and the mRNA vaccines is staggering.
Even the statistics used are either false or falsely interpreted - as so well described by the “Lies, damn Lies and Statistics” saying.
Just as an example in a highly publicized case they used real official statistics from UK to “prove” that vaccination is not effective by comparing young and scarcely vaccinated and old and heavily vaccinated populations, to “prove” that a higher percentage of vaccinated people died of COVID than unvaccinated! The stupidity - Evil would be more appropriate- of doing this is self evident.
I am saying Evil because the effects of this disinformation campaign are no different from what happens if done in the middle of a military invasion - which is why I call it treason.
I rest my case. I hope you find time to look up my suggestions.
Let me end by clarifying that like you I am a very passionate and active Republican, and Trump supporter, so there is no “Democrat” political bias in what I am doing, quite the contrary, and that as I said I am well aware of how they used the Covid pandemic to steal the 2020 election by changing the voting by mail rules and everything else this made possible.
But the two aspects even if they were intertwined, should be kept separate, and they are not, and this creates a lot of confusion.
Sure because in your insane world there are only people who agree with you, and shills. Go and see a psychiatrist before you do something irresponsible.
By and large that is not true. Have some vaccines killed? You bet. Have some been injured grievously? You bet. I’m one. Some have done great things with regard to spread of disease. My concern are the numbers given to children who have no choice. But with so many kids in daycare, the lawyers win by demanding evermore vaccines. Europe seems to do fine with fewer vaccines. Perhaps the American diet is also to blame.
Your comment was that all vaccines kill. Most do not, but they can harm. That was the spirit that I answered your sweeping generalization about all vaccines. As far as the Covid vaccine, how about being an adult and calling it that, not a fan. I clotted badly from the J$J vaccine that I was guilted into taking by the local hospital system so I could advocate for my disabled husband. There should be no mandatory vaccinations. They should only be given when the person has been given the information on which to base a coherent decision. Tough call for parents when the state forces vaccinations as a prerequisite to going to school. .
I said I was not a fan of the COVID vaccine and do not believe in mandatory vaccinations. Do you have reading comprehension issues? I have no need up take advice from someone with so much anger as yourself. Good day.
This is exactly correct. As I have shared elsewhere, Justice demands that the perpetrators of the Constitution-shredding madness you describe be held accountable.
And yes, failure to do so invites an inevitable encore.
Amen.
Unfortunately, we no longer use tar and feathers
Spot on - though unlikely that the perpetrators will face any prosecution unless we the people do something, in unison, to cause it to happen. Our political parties have so much dirt on each other that when one falls - there go the dominoes.

Truly, I don't like that tactic, but Trump wrote the Art of the Deal...
The spawn of Uncle Frank and Saul Alinsky, et al, must be rooted out, exposed and neutered.
AMEN !!
Accountability and the rule of law must be honored. Revenge and lawfare are tools of the evil Democrats and must be rejected.
None of their depredations were unintentional or accidental. They were all intentional and planned...
Where laws were broken, accountability must ensure, fully and thoroughly.
Amen!

Vaccines kill people, just as expected. You are stupid and uneducated to think differently.
Yes really-
Your comment makes clear who the people who are doing what you are doing really are
You are evil, manipulative and a liar!
Nobody here agrees with your lies!
It’s time for you next booster you slimy shill!
You just confirmed what I said above.
Correct. I said you are a shill. Thanks for agreeing with us all here.
How about toning the rhetoric down a little? We should be able to disagree without it getting personal.
Sure because in your insane world there are only people who agree with you, and shills. Go and see a psychiatrist before you do something irresponsible.
By and large that is not true. Have some vaccines killed? You bet. Have some been injured grievously? You bet. I’m one. Some have done great things with regard to spread of disease. My concern are the numbers given to children who have no choice. But with so many kids in daycare, the lawyers win by demanding evermore vaccines. Europe seems to do fine with fewer vaccines. Perhaps the American diet is also to blame.
So, I’m confused. Are you for the kill-shot or not? Because people are dead and continue to die from the poison jabs. Are you next?
How did the human race survive thousands of years without these poisons?
Take them if you want but I will physically stop you BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY if you try and force them on me or my family!
Your comment was that all vaccines kill. Most do not, but they can harm. That was the spirit that I answered your sweeping generalization about all vaccines. As far as the Covid vaccine, how about being an adult and calling it that, not a fan. I clotted badly from the J$J vaccine that I was guilted into taking by the local hospital system so I could advocate for my disabled husband. There should be no mandatory vaccinations. They should only be given when the person has been given the information on which to base a coherent decision. Tough call for parents when the state forces vaccinations as a prerequisite to going to school. .
If you can’t see it by now you are CHOOSING not to on purpose and I refuse to help you.
You were injured by the poison (even though they wanted to kill you with it) and STILL YOUR ADVOCATING FOR IT!!!
That’s complete insanity.
“Adult” enough for you?
I said I was not a fan of the COVID vaccine and do not believe in mandatory vaccinations. Do you have reading comprehension issues? I have no need up take advice from someone with so much anger as yourself. Good day.
100% in agreement
