haha I feel politically disenfranchised, too. I'm a libertarian moderate. Most of the country has to be moderates because, well....bell curve/statistics, and we don't have a party that represents us.

That's funny, because I feel like I lean more towards libertarian, although I also have a thought that a group that would have my beliefs probably wouldn't be a group I'd want to be a part of! 🤣

Haha! I think it's because I just feel like a curmudgeon who is super disagreeable, so anyone who says "join my group!" I'm now going "mmm I don't trust you...."

I've gone conservative but don't feel like voting for any of these schmucks. They all take pHarma money and have helped evolve this perfect catastrophe. (I recall a management axiom of: We have the perfect system to get the results we have).

Having said that, it'd be nice to see some analysis of protocols and articles detailing treatment approaches to spike injuries, especially endothelial dysfunction, clots, Neuro damage, etc. I've been offering, when asked, some herbal treatments with moderate to good success, FLCCC has their I-Recover protocol, and others are being published.

Thanks again for all your insights and willingness to parse some of this info.

I've generally stayed away from such topics because I don't consider myself to be in a position to tell people protocols via medical advice. I think I can see what's available, but I don't want my comments to be taken as being misconstrued as providing answers when it's all speculative, to say the least.

To the politics it does feel like a lot of it is fluff. People come in promising one thing but nothing ever appears to be done for the better.

I very much agree

I voted for ozempic. I think that will be the next death trap but I am willing to be wrong.

I'll most likely cover both. It certainly is a fascinating tale of selective off-label use for celebrities. There's certainly a ton about it that is not known, hence why dabbling in it would seem interesting as it's such a pertinent topic in pharmaceutical solutions.

I’m honestly super keen on reading on both topics :)

I’m a conservative who is disgusted with the Republican mainstream party and the RNC completely. I’m thrilled at an idea of an article about how both parties create and manufacture “crises” and basically use them to divide people further and raise money. Then they go and vote on endless wars and things that hurt large swathes of America. There is no common sense left in that culture of graft. I should also say that I support Trump but I view him as a human and with many flaws, but he is luckily not really part of one of those parties nor can he be easily controlled. I really hope he has seen the pharma con at this point.

That might be a very deep dive. I was considering more to stay within the realm of my perspective on much of the political stuff going on. Much of that would be far too deep of an examination that would take plenty of time.

The manufacturing crisis does seem a bit interesting. I've never said much on this topic but I will just say that many people all around benefited from everything happening with COVID and so I am always curious to what extent the things going on are being dictated by financial incentives.

Looking forward to hearing more from you on this...PS Crowder left The Daily Wire, not The Blaze. The Blaze is Glenn Beck's company.

Crowder left The Blaze which used to be CRTV I believe? I can't remember the parent company but it later became The Blaze and I believe his Mug Club fell under there, with the recent contract being an issue with The Daily Wire.

I'm trying to figure out which angle to tackle this post and it may just become a criticism of what's going on in the right as well.

I don't think Crowder was ever at The Blaze. The Mug Club was at The Daily Wire.

PS The Blaze was always the Blaze. Glenn Beck started up around his show after he left Fox, I believe.

I should have commented that Crowder was under CRTV, which merged with The Blaze putting Crowder under The Blaze. I'm still unsure about Mug Club. I can't find any evidence that Mug Club was with the Daily Wire. I believe they had tumblers and that apparently led to some jokes between the two of them? But as to Mug Club specifically that didn't seem like it was under the Daily Wire unless I am not looking at the proper sources.

I'm reading Bibi Netanyahu's new book and I highly recommend it. There are Insights on terrorism that go straight to leftist ideology like our current situation in the US with "activists" thinking that anything is ok in pursuit of their ends. I'm not convinced that some conservatives are any different.

I’m just not surprised that is happening I think Daniel Horowitz writes for the blaze but also for conservative review and I believe he can’t share or post all or some articles on the blaze ? I might be wrong. Wilkow bounced around the blaze couple times now he’s on Salem tv ? Crowder was better when he was alone when he started CR seems like he changed some then he ended up with daily wire and just wasn’t the same. Maybe it’s just me by the way I don’t watch mainstream media conservatives are like democrats sometimes they sound like broken records.

It's bouncing back and forth, and in general I feel as if I am leaning more towards having serious issues with both parties.

I was curious about your prior comment but didn't ask. Was there anything in particular that made you think differently of Crowder? Anything you wouldn't mind sharing if that's OK with you.

I’m glad that crowder is doing this because everyone was complaining about big tech or cry because one of them gets suspended from twitter, facebook or youtube but nobody mentions 💰 and where the money goes.

Steven could be as passionate as I am, and need to go fully on his own, be his own boss. I would like to see him at least negotiate with the DW and try to hammer out some of the disagreements. He doesn't seem to happy with the 6 figure fees for missing an episode and such, which he should more than be. I know he is passionate, but he has a lot of leverage negotiating, with such a large audience and following he can gets terms in his favor. I'm concerned with any censoring going on, and the ad reads should be done completely different in my opinion, how Crowder does it to me is perfect, doesn't feel like a salesmen trying to sell me crap vs someone fighting for our country. I am a member of both so I hope, if a deal can happen, it's in the best for both parties and the fight against the censorship of the marxist left will be that much more stronger. Shapiro, Walsh, Knowles, Owens, Peterson, Klavan, Boring, and Crowder?!?

That seems to be the overall opinion; that he will be better on his own due to disagreements.

So the situation is growing, but it seems more like he wasn't comfortable with the contract as it was something that is given to everyone including smaller people, and so there's some concerns that smaller content creators may fall into this position in which they may be taken advantage of by organizations who have considered themselves to be anti-establishment.

Of course, it could be all business, but it's also something that doesn't appear good optic-wise.

I don't watch too much of Daily Wire. Actually, not much at all, but general consensus is that the reads are too long and interruptive.
