May Great Spirit bless πŸ™


Good morning. This time, I didn't get up until 7:55 AM, a little later than my norm, but I didn't fight it. I guess after being sick for so long, it just feels nice to savor these feel-nothing times. I lie back in my comfy bed and feel nothing except cozy and warm under the blanket, "heaven!" No more torture, right, so it felt like no less torture than in a torture chamber for me. At least for now, it seems like I have been released from the torture chamber, and I pray forever. Just take it easy the next couple of days, but begin doing some of my usual routines.


TODAY'S DISCUSSION:


COVID and FLU


Again, I wish to warn about the importance of getting your shots. Below is my personal experience of the hell one goes through with those new strains of bugs they have out there today. I got one that may have messed up the rest of my life, and it's not nice. Please read.


I am again a good example of how much you can get sick from these superbugs. They're not like back in our day, two days in bed, drink lots of fluids, eat chicken noodle soup, and so on; these can put you on your arse for weeks or in your grave. I MEAN, YOU GET SICK, THE GRAND MAL PUKES AND ALL, depending on whether you get a shot or not.


Between the ages of 5 and 65, the shot should protect you from the flu by almost 90% without it; you get the full impact, and also, unfortunately, those under five are vulnerable. For older people, the shots being only half effective, they can still get terribly sick, like I was; you just get incredibly sick, you just don't croak. I darn well came close to it, three times now, but I'm still here. Grand mal pukes are not funny; they're a strain on your entire body, leaving you weak and trembling like a leaf in the wind. You get nauseous just thinking about food. Once you get into the hallucinating, like you're looking around the room, which appears to be wavering like underwater, and all those sickly colors, and your entire digestive system and bowels go offline except the sick stomach, which is still low rumbling in the background seeking to spray lunch. This is the same result I had with the flu and COVID before. That's just to mention a few effects from the bug.*_


DUMB ARSE NON VAXERS! may your arses BE CURSED! Better yet, I hope your buttholes fall out, and may you burn up in πŸ‘ΉπŸ”₯along with the flu bug 🦠 ya bunch of non-vaxing dum-dum knuckle dragging 🧌 cockroaches πŸͺ³πŸͺ³πŸͺ³! Just keep it to yourself, eh! May you feel every bit of the pain I went through, ya nincompoop non-vax, heartless, selfish bunch of creeps that would condemn their own children to die from this cursed scourge that has befallen humanity.


Just had another flare-up, like riding the roller coaster of nausea through the valleys of puke in hell. I do hope it fades enough to finish my news. Enjoy it, non-vaxers, I HAVE NO USE FOR YOU! HAVE LOTS OF FUN, you're no more than puke lovers and sadists, and you love pain, inflicting it on others and yourself, ya sick morons, non-vaxers.


I took some extra antacid and some ginger capsules, along with my regular prescription meds. Now, all I can do is sob and just pray and hope my day isn't a complete mess again, like being the mouse hiding in the corner of the couch again, waiting for the storm to hit. I'm at the end of my rope and resigned to the Great Spirit four nights ago, in silent prayer, I prayed for the suffering to end or take me away. I'm useless this way. WATCHA WAITING FOR! I've been praying for 20 years for healing of my stomach, but nothing, just gotten worse. LET'S GET IT OVER WITH! GREAT SPIRIT, I'M SICK OF BEING SICK!


Please folks, if you would, I believe I need a little help. It appears as though GREAT SPIRIT can't hear me. Pray For Me, Thank You.

☹️ πŸ₯Ί 😒 😭 😳 πŸ₯΅ πŸ˜₯

My prayers seem like old firecrackers with no fizz in the wick. Let your prayers be the fizz in the wick that gets to the firecracker, πŸ™ 🧨 thank you.


I can see a trend here, since the tooth removal, the stomach disorder is like a frog, it only feels good while airborne between hops. The prescribed stomach meds just aren't quite controlling it; sometimes they do, and other times not, which makes my life miserable. Right now, I am getting a reprieve, for how long, I don't know; the torture chamber master seems to have taken leave for now. I have also read that this flu can linger with you for several weeks. If so, I pray I'm at the ending part.


BREAKING NEWS:


Inside the White supremacist compound hiding in plain sight

TELLICO PLAINS, Tennessee

In east Tennessee, at the end of a winding dirt road, a mother glances into the woods she roamed as a child.


It’s a deep and dramatic vista: a patchwork of pines and oaks disappearing into an endless Blue Ridge mountain range.


“We used to ride four wheelers all through the woods,” said the woman, who spoke to CNN on the condition of anonymity due to fears for her safety. “We had secret hiding places, we’d just be gone for hours … our parents wouldn’t even know where we were.”


But things are different now.


“I’m afraid to let my own kids do the same things I did,” said the mother of three, who sternly warns her kids: “Whatever you do, don’t go to that side. Because I don’t know what they’re going to do.”


“(They’re) making us all scared to leave our houses.”

As anti-ICE Nativity scenes spark outrage, faith leaders grapple with politics at the pulpit


Charlotte, North Carolina

In the week since a Nativity scene was installed outside of the Missiongathering Church here in Charlotte, Pastor Andrew Shipley said he’s often found himself doing a double take. Not to reflect on the kneeling statues of Mary and Joseph as they gaze upon baby Jesus – instead, it’s the figures looming over the Holy Family that Shipley said gives him pause.


This year, statues of tall men clad in all black with masks drawn up to hide their faces are disrupting the serenity of the church’s Nativity scene. The figures – dressed in flak jackets emblazoned with the acronym for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, are depicted approaching the Holy Family and the Wise Men with handcuffs, as if preparing to make an arrest...

The solution to America’s affordability problem might be broken, too

The best way to fix Americans’ cost-of-living problem is to give workers bigger raises, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said last week. The problem: That solution looks broken, too. The US job market has been stagnant in recent months, and paycheck growth has been falling steadily for more than three years. We’ll get a clearer picture Tuesday when the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes the delayed October and November jobs reports.


Affordability has remained issue No. 1 in poll after poll, despite more than a year of relatively normal inflation and over two years of wage growth outpacing price hikes. That’s because Americans haven’t yet adjusted to the price shock from a few years ago, when inflation surged to a four-decade high. Economists, business leaders and politicians have debated the best solution to make America’s cost-of-living feel affordable again, including increasing health care and housing subsidies and reducing tariffs...

Wage growth vs. inflation


Paychecks are outpacing inflation

But the gap is narrowing, indicating that while workers are still seeing real gains, the advantage is shrinking as price growth remains persistent and wage increases begin to moderate.

More Canadians head to Mexico for winter getaways

Vacation travel to U.S. down as Canadian tourists make strategic decisions on where to spend time, money


Charles Birt and Merilee Mollard are doing what many other Canadians have decided to do — pulling the plug on their annual trip to Texas and opting to travel in Canada and Mexico instead. They usually spend weeks or even months at a trailer park in Weslaco, Texas, about 10 kilometres from the Mexican border.


But not this year.


"Since the election of Trump and the insults that he placed on our country, 51st state and all of that garbage, we decided that no, we're not going to spend money down there," Birt said.

May Great Spirit bless πŸ™


Good morning, This time it is morning, I slept till 7:00 AM. I know it will be early afternoon before my publication hits Social Networks, but for right now, I am feeling reasonably well. If I continue to improve, I believe that all the time I was ill before and after the teeth extraction, and then my partner wasn't feeling her best either during that time, a little correlation there, maybe.


Continued from yesterday's discussion on:

Health minister says she worries about U.S. public health decisions harming Canadians


I believe this topic to be of significant importance to get my thoughts in ahead of the anti-vaxer phenatics this year. DON'T BE A LOSER, GET YOUR VACCINE. It nearly killed me that last time, too.


  • Google Search:

A new influenza A(H3N2) virus subclade J.2.4.1, also recently renamed "H3N2 subclade K," was identified by CDC in August 2025.

This year's vaccine still offers crucial protection, especially against severe illness, hospitalization, and death from emerging variants like H3N2 subclade K*_


Flu Symptoms Last Way Longer Than You May Think, According to a Doctor


Then come the symptoms: a fever, a stuffy or runny nose, achy muscles, constant coughing, pounding headaches, and a general feeling of total wipeout.


The earliest symptoms typically include a fever, chills, muscle and body aches, and fatigue. Then, you may notice other symptoms such as a sore throat and dry cough. The fever can last two to four days, while other symptoms can last for up to a week. “You may not feel totally up to speed for more than -->two weeks,”<-- Dr. Poland says.*


While you may be able to treat a flu at home with plenty of rest, fluids, and OTC pain relievers, see a doctor if your fever continues to rise, you don’t feel better within three to five days of first noticing your symptoms, you have shortness of breath, and/or you cough up green sputum.


Forty-five thousand people die of the flu in the U.S. each year.


I came very close to being one of the statistics, or at least came close to another hospital trip


It appears I have survived the worst of it, and I'm relieved of that. I was thinking all kinds of scary stuff. I know I have GERD, and I believe the flu kinda flared up the symptoms, making them seem like my stomach was in its death throes. The weakest point in my body is my stomach. COVID took to my stomach well too when I got it, thank G-D I had my shots or I wouldn't be here typing this out. Today I dedicate this most crucial message in my News Group


STOP LISTENING TO THE GARBAGE BELOW THE BORDER

Morons, fake news, liars, deceivers, conspirators, greedy, corrupt, science haters, and a bunch of CLOWNS running the show.


WE ARE CANADIAN, AND WE ARE PROUD TO BE CANADIAN. WE MAKE OUR OWN CHOICES. WE DON'T NEED THE EXAMPLE FROM THE DUNCE CADETS ACROSS THE BORDER. If those buttholes across the border want to die horribly without a shot, they will. That's their choice, and they get what they asked for. Keep their virus 🦠 infected bag 🧳 of πŸ’© away from me. I can't feel sorry for dum-dums that don't believe in science, KNUCKLE DRAGGERS, that's what America's problem is, too many morons and knuckle draggers running the show.


Another thing we don't want is to privatize medical care, in which the Province pays doctors for all of the procedures you may need. For some procedures with long waiting times, you go to private providers, and some thief catches on really quickly how to steal a few extra bucks by billing the Province and the patient, too. Private is OK for people who have money. If it were all that good, there would not be any problems with the cost of healthcare in America, where they fear having a healthcare system like Canada's because, to them, it's socialism.

At least 11 killed in shooting which targeted Australia's Jewish community at Bondi Beach

What We're Covering

• At least 11 people have been killed in a shooting targeting the Jewish community on Australia's Bondi Beach, police say. The attack took place as hundreds gathered to celebrate the first day of Hanukkah, and has been declared a terrorist incident. The victims include an Israeli citizen, according to the country's foreign ministry.


• Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese described the attack as "an act of evil, antisemitism, terrorism that has struck the heart of our nation" and said that "an attack on Jewish Australians is an attack on every Australian." Israeli officials reacted with horror and anger, with several accusing the Australian government of allowing a surge in antisemitism.


• Police also confirmed that there are two known suspects — one is dead while the other is in a life-threatening condition in hospital. Officers have secured and removed explosive devices found in a nearby vehicle.

GOOD FOR YOU! KEEP CATCHING THOSE CROOKS! - THE SCOURGE OF WE, THE PEOPLE'S MONEY!


⚠️ WORD OF CAUTION! ⚠️


Especially older people on fixed incomes, BLOOD SUCKERS, that's why I don't look at the ads, and I stay away from anything that promises to get you rich overnight. I got all that telemarketing advertising stuff on blocked calls; otherwise, my home would sound like an office, with the phones in each room constantly ringing. NO THANKS!

Anyway, I'm happy where I am. I don't need anybody else's money.


You don't get money by giving it away to thieves. And the other moronic stuff they try to sell you on, like, for example, the Bitcoin πŸ’©, I believe you would be better off taking that money to a casino; you would probably have a better chance playing Bingo and come out with your purse a little fatter than when you went in. At least with the casino and the Bingo, you know what you're dealing with. πŸ…°️ πŸƒ


πŸ™Well, that will be about it for today, no further Earth-shattering news to report today. LET US PRAY THAT THE LIGHT OF PEACE WILL SOON ARISE πŸŒ„ πŸ™
