• Scientists have created a single blood test to find over 50 genetic diseases, which they expect will cut the time of diagnosis for neurological and muscular disorders from decades to days. Explains Kishore Kumar, a researcher at the Concord Hospital in Sydney and coauthor of the study, “This new test will completely revolutionize how we diagnose these diseases. We can now test for all the disorders at once with a single DNA test and give a clear genetic diagnosis. It will help patients avoid years of unnecessary muscle or nerve biopsies for diseases they don’t have, or risky treatments that suppress their immune system” • The latest poll from Rasmussen Reports states that "70% of likely US voters believe the US govt should encourage increased oil and gas production to reduce America’s dependence on foreign sources of oil and gas" • Zhao Lijian (Beijing) stated at a press conference that there are US-financed biolabs in Ukraine.

Consider this opinion from BioClandestine: "... I have been saying that this why the Western media complex are so desperate to cover this up, and paint this as a conspiracy theory. Because the discovery of the activities in these biolabs, leads to the biggest of all secrets. THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CREATION OF AND RELEASE OF COVID 19. We have been talking about crimes against humanity for quite some time, but this opens an avenue to actually hold everyone accountable. Media, tech, pharma, government, academia, big business.

• Kansas Senate Judiciary Committee approved a measure that would limit the power of state and local health officials during pandemics and strip them of their power to mandate wearing masks.

Both measures go next to the full Senate for debate. GOP lawmakers criticized Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly persistently over steps she took to contain the spread of COVID-19, especially early in the pandemic when she ordered many businesses closed for five weeks and school buildings closed to most students for several months. The Republican-controlled Legislature forced her to accept a lessening of the governor’s power over time but later focused on limiting the power of cities, counties and local school boards to impose restrictions • Atty Thomas Renz, who revealed the Defense Department data in a panel hosted by Sen Ron Johnson (WI) said he is now focusing on the three DoD whistleblowers who presented evidence from the Defense Military Epidemiological Database (DMED) that show a nearly 1,000% increase overall in diseases and injuries.

As of the end of September 2021, the UK govt reported there were 137,133 deaths within 28 days of a positive test, and these deaths were therefore all counted as “covid deaths.” In a January 19, 2022, press conference, UK health secretary Sajid Javid admitted that the daily government figures are unreliable as people have been and continue to die from conditions unrelated to covid-19, but are included in the count due to a positive test. He also admitted that about 40% of patients presently counted as hospitalized covid patients were not admitted due to covid symptoms. They were admitted for other conditions and simply tested positive • Pfizer sent a report showing many dangerous adverse events stemming from the Pfizer-BioNTech Coronavirus vaccine to the FDA as part of its authorization process with the regulatory agency.

[Forwarded from ThinMint] Comment from @ SA - "So many people who have never faced really hard times will have a challenging time with this. Many are simply not mentally ready for what's about to happen. I feel we are at this point where we are going to have to share the ugly truth (say it like it is) for people's own good, and I don't like that. I am not sure how to proceed and want to make sure I am impressing the seriousness without squashing hope." Dear SA - We are familiar with the true definition of courage: dealing with something onerous, despite our apprehensions, despite the odds of success, and despite the difficulties and impediments. A simple example: we teach our children not to lie, even if they will face disciplinary correction for telling the truth, because being truthful is the right thing to do, even when it’s not easy. Calling out evil and combating it is tough and taxing. It may inconvenience us, it may cost us the loss of relationships or a job, it may even cost us our lives. All of us are called to fight it, but many don’t step up. If we are powerless to wake others then we know it will take a Godly shaking to shift people from their complacency. Pray for this divine shaking! What are we to do? Though God will call each of us individually to do something different, all of us are called to spread the gospel, to show others Christ-like compassion, because in the end, that’s what matters most: saving souls. An extrovert may not hesitate to tell a stranger to put away extra food stuffs for the coming storm. A quiet person on the other hand may not feel led to ask a stranger if they have prepped. However, their tender heart may lead them to inquire about other things, which may ultimately lead to a discussion of prepping. Two different personalities, two different approaches, with the same objective: helping others. God knew exactly what He was doing when He paired our temperaments with our talents. If you feel the Holy Spirit is impressing upon you to warn others wherever you go then follow His lead. God will provide the words and ready the ears of the listener. If you feel the Holy Spirit is impressing upon you to step back and concentrate on your own household’s needs, then follow His lead. God will provide you with instructions on what you need to do. These are serious times –dangerous times, in fact. If someone hasn’t been paying attention, I don’t know that a passing comment will gain their attention. Or it may just be the seed we need to plant. This is why it’s crucial to be finely tuned to the Holy Spirit’s nudging. As believers we can do a spiritual welfare check with those we encounter. When things collapse, when the scene is dire, our hope needs to be rooted firmly in the Lord, and we want others to experience that hope, too. Love, ThinMint

I'm a prepper. Not a veteran prepper, not a "off-grid" prepper, not a diehard prepper, not an expert. Just putting away a little here and a little there. When Felix was admitted to the hospital I was so grateful for the supplies we had on hand as that sustained our family for a few weeks before I needed to replenish the fresh food. It was also a relief that I didn't need to fret about running out of basic self-care items. Seems like a lot is on the horizon, right? I just want to encourage those of you who are prepping: don’t panic, do what you can, when you can. We don't panic. It’s just one aspect of our lives. Put your efforts into having enough supplies to get you through two weeks in case you couldn’t access sources, then build upon that. Don’t worry about planning for every emergency. Even a veteran prepper cannot plan for every contingency. The two most likely critical scenarios one faces is job loss and inclement weather. Make those lists (what you need and what you have) and steadily work through it. Water and food are top priorities. Even if you only have a two week supply, you are still ahead of the curve! You got this, Patriot 👍🏻 Also, make plans to step away from social media this weekend. Find something enjoyable to do. And love the one you’re with… I’m praying for all of you. God bless.

Hey, know how some folks on the local board of elections and the DA’s office have ties to Soros? Just wondering if anyone is digging on the folks over at the AMA and the hospital boards to see if they have ties to Soros, too. Asking for a friend. In the meantime, I didn’t want to wait until good news Friday to share the below info 👇🏻 A telemedicine company, Freedom Med launched this week that is “uniting medical professionals to protect your constitutional medical rights and enable you to take back your health.” According to CEO Kevin Jenkins, “It’s important that people start to understand that we can break away with this tyrannical system, that we can build something new. We can create solutions. We can create opportunities for people to build a better healthy life… We are going to be bringing transparency. We are going to be bringing amazing doctors to the table that cover all of the disciplines and medicines that we think are important to build a healthy community. Freedom Med is where it’s going to happen. You’ve got to follow us because If you join us at FreedomMed.org, you are going to see where we are going with this — top-notch doctors, top-notch healthcare, people that are coming up with solutions, people that value human life, people that value children. It’s time for us to break away from this system…” Website >> https://freedommed.org/ Telegram >> https://t.me/FreedomMedical

There are a lot of things to admire about King David. And a lot of not so much things. (Like his 768 wives and 40,326 concubines.*) Psalms is one of my favorite books in the bible. Whatever you’re emoting, whatever you’re contemplating, whatever song expresses your heart, the chances are very good that David has already emoted, contemplated or sung it. In other words, his sentiments are quite comparable to ours. I think David’s encounter with Goliath is timeless because it’s a story that resonates with us at every stage of our lives. When you’re a kid, you understand the underdog/bully scenario well. When you’re an adult, Goliath becomes the metaphor in your life, representing the seemingly impossible behemoth that needs to be overcome. We’ll never know this side of heaven exactly what feelings coursed through David as he faced the taunting nemesis. Perhaps what David did in that moment was not compare himself against the heavyweight, but compare the titan against God. The giant was already defeated before the rock even left the sling. I suppose most of us would not consider ourselves professional analyzers of David. Of course, what’s beautiful about reading the bible is that the Holy Spirit speaks to all of us, regardless of our expert level, providing us what we need in any given moment of our rumination. I think the community here would benefit from learning how you interpret the story of David and Goliath –what the story means to you. *I might be confusing him with Solomon 🤔 And I’m not very good with cohabitation math. Either way, anything over 1 is pretty unwonted in my book.

Sorry for the delay. I miss doing the good news Friday. It’s hard work, but it’s worthy, IMHO. I hope to get back to that soon. In the meantime... Good News Friday! February 25th - March 4th, 2022 Typically I will post the good news that has accumulated for the week (after researching the stories). However, because of my current circumstances I’m enlisting your help. I’ll post some stuff as well, however please know I haven’t vetted any of it. Just wanted to pass it along 🙂 Please share all the good news that has occurred over the last week -even personal tidbits!

Hey y’all, just wondering if anyone has successfully logged onto Truth Social yet? I think I may have secured the name, ‘ThinMint,’ however I am on the waiting list so I cannot verify...

Here’s a list of updated titles found in the GITMO library: “How to Make Swamp Wine in Your New Steel Toilet” “Gitmo for Dummies” “Surprise! Your Cellmate Isn’t a Woman” “Learning How to Live With One-Ply Toilet Paper” “What Is SOS And How You Eat It” “Trading Contraband For Beginners” “Conjugal Visits Aren’t For You” “How to Win Talent Night With Origami” “So, You Moved To a New Gated Community” “Why Your Bloodline Will Never Prosper” “Understanding How Quantum Computing Helped Bring Down The Cabal” “When No One Calls or Writes” “I Was a Part of The Deep State And All I Got For It Was This Lousy Prison Garb” “How to Make Small Talk With Your Guard” “When You Lose Your Hacky Sack in The Yard” “Rodents 101: How To Identify Your New Friend” “Handling Inmate Disputes With Rock, Paper, Scissors” “From Pumping Taxpayer Dollars to Pumping Iron: One Senator’s Transformation” “How to Set Your Facebook Relationship Status to ‘It’s Complicated’” “What to Do When Your Cellmate Won’t Stop Imitating Michael Jackson” “Remodeling With Posters and Blankets” “Living With Trump Derangement Syndrome” “Sporks and Other Nifty Things You Didn’t Know The Peons Used”

Things are serious out there, heating up all over the world. All the more so we should love on our families and count our blessings. And we should probably enjoy more cookies. I’m convinced we’ll see justice served to those who perpetuate crimes against humanity. Mock these would-be overlords, and remember that we should never ask for permission to live free. For those unaware, I like to make lists. Below is one of my favorites. Just getting a jumpstart on tonight’s comedy post.

We spent the weekend in blessed quietness, figuring out how best to help Felix, the kids enjoying him, and me often reflecting on the surreality of it all. There are other emotions that I am not quite ready to define. He goes to outpatient Tuesday so he can get assessed for treatment. He’s certainly come a long way, but he’s frustrated at times with the marathon pace. A therapist from the hospital last week helped him discover it’s his right eye that seems to be the cause of his dizziness (which obviously impedes his walking). When he turns his head, it takes his eye a moment to catch up, if you will. She gave him some exercises to do but it’s a slow-go. His feet have begun to swell -a first for him. And I have to look up how best to begin detoxing him, with a special concern for all the radiation and whatnot he was exposed to from all the chest X-rays. These are by no means complaints. Just merely sharing some of the challenges folks go through after a covid hospital stay. After going, going, going (!) for the last almost three months straight, I feel slightly numb. Not sure how quite to explain it... I do feel like I’m finally breaking free of the mire, the suckling sound of release music to my ears. For those unaware, there is such a thing as Covid Hair. It’s not uncommon to lose hair after an illness. But, this is like ten hundred million thousand times worse. And then some. I did something for myself today: I got a haircut. Had to. I was looking like Nick Nolte’s 2002 mug shot. Sans the groovy Hawaiian shirt. I’m juggling about five different post ideas in my numb brain so bear with me as I want to carefully hear His guidance in what gets shared and when. Be sure to take a step back, acknowledge the goodness in your life, thank the Lord for the goodness, and do something that brings you joy. And have a cookie.

Good News Friday! February 18th - February 25th, 2022 Typically I will post the good news that has accumulated for the week (after researching the stories).

Felix is coming home. We found out late Wednesday afternoon that they’ll discharge him this Friday. I’ve been hustling getting ready for him as it was unexpected. In the midst of the me and the kids dealing with a stomach bug. Our poor 5 year-old is hit the hardest. They’ll send him home with a walker and wheelchair. We don’t have the info on the outpatient facility yet. Not sure how we’ll get him in and out of a vehicle yet, but we’ll figure it out. We’ll figure everything out pretty quick I imagine. Just thought my Patriot Prayer Warrior Family would want to know 😊
