History has shown that when liberals are in power, there’s peace, happiness, and prosperity.

But when right wingers take over, there’s war, poverty, and misery.

I believe the day will come when right wingers are all eliminated.

When that day comes, look forward to more peace, happiness, and prosperity.

If you are not on the DMSO bandwagon yet, suggest reading today’s article from Dr Joe Mercola. Be sure to watch the embedded 60 Minutes segment if nothing else. DMSO works for pain of any sort, chronic or acute: shoulder, knee, elbow, wrist, arthritis, anything really. It’s non-narcotic, non-addictive, and you can buy it on Amazon. For me, it completely eliminated plantar fasciitis pain I had been suffering from. Your Welcome.

From WebMD:

What Are the Risks of Using DMSO?

Some DMSO on the market may actually be industrial grade. Industrial grade DMSO may contain a number of impurities that can easily be absorbed into the skin with potentially serious health effects.

The most frequent side effects from using DMSO on the skin include:

 – Stomach upset

  – Skin irritation

  – Strong odor of garlic

More serious side effects include:

  – Severe allergic reactions

  – Headaches

  – Itching and burning when applied to the skin

DMSO can also cause a deadly reaction when used in high concentrations.

Using DMSO by mouth can cause:

 –  Dizziness

 –  Drowsiness

 –  Nausea

 –  Vomiting

  – Diarrhea

  – Constipation

  – Decreased appetite

DMSO can increase the effect of some medicines, which can lead to serious health issues. Examples of such medicines include:

  – Blood thinners

  – Steroids

  – Sedatives

The biggest concern of DMSO as a solvent is that when it gets on the skin it will cause anything on the skin to be absorbed. So be sure to wash your hands and skin well before using.

Pregnant women and women who are breastfeeding should not use DMSO, since little is known about its possible effects on the fetus or infant.

You should also not use DMSO without talking to your doctor if you have:

  – Diabetes

  – Asthma

  – Liver and kidney conditions

Always keep in mind that supplements are not regulated by the FDA the same was as drugs are. The manufacturer does not have to prove that a supplement is safe or effective before selling.

Getting diagnosed with plantar fasciitis by doc giving me a few good slaps to the bottom of my heels, a good memory. Recomendation of water and stretches but no pain killers, even better. Proscribed insoles never reaching me, wonderful. Pretending my plantar fasciitis didn’t exist, effective. Breaking in my standard issue boots so much there is now natural arch support, the final victory.

Hmmm.

plantar fasciitis

I self-diagnosed this. But maybe it wasn’t. No idea. I’m not a doctor.

Over the course of a week, my first few steps got more and more painful. This went on for a month. The bottom of my feet felt tight and hurt throughout the day. I just walked it off and assumed it would go away.

I have a standing desk so I would raise it half way and crouch a bit while bending my lower legs forward and stretching feet to calves. Felt good. Didn’t make a difference in the morning.

I noticed that when i sleep, my feet go straight like a ballarino.

So I took some nylon rope and wrapped it tightly between the bottoms of my feet and calves, pulling my toes toward my shins while I slept so everything was stretched to the maximum.

Three days later, I never had this problem again.

That is my experience.

I am not against drugs/chemicals/supplements but I prefer to save their use until nothing else works. I take vitamin C and D, as well as zinc and a few other reasonable things.

Government and industry are criminally conspiring to keep vitamin D levels low… the “recommended daily allowance” is actually what keeps you from getting sick and not what you need to be healthy. Not everybody knows that.

Vitamin C, D, and zinc are rather important to your immune system. Right now, everybody in my office is sick except me. I take no precautions. I credit those nutrients at proper levels beyond what diet and sun exposure give everyone else. I could be wrong. Nutrition is not a religion to me. Could be a placebo effect. My unvaccinated experience with covid was unnoticed to everyone around me.

Hope that helps.

“Study reveals Pfizer COVID vaccine contains DNA contamination up to 470 times above safe limits, according to FDA lab research

Student researchers, conducting studies under the guidance of FDA scientists, have uncovered alarming levels of DNA contamination in Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine, with some samples exceeding safety limits by as much as 470 times.”

In every vaxtard, there is a cancer growing.

Those in denial just don’t understand the science.

That is satisfying to say.

He can’t be MAGA. That is only for racist white people, as you have told us over and over and over.

So it is a false flag or he is mentally ill.

Neither of those are MAGA’s problem.

He’s not a true MAGA because he’s not the right race. But he thinks he is a MAGA. That is what’s funny and that is where the cringe comes from.

Of course, he will never be considered a MAGA by the real MAGAs. But that’s not the point. The point is that the MAGA virus starting in the US, is infecting the world, including Korea.

My earlier suspicions/speculations are mostly being confirmed.

All available evidence points to the Tesla firework “bomb” at Trump tower being a political protest suicide. Matthew Livelsberger had an extensive carreer and many deployments at the tip of the spear. TBI is being confirmed. It was untreated along with PTSD and depression. The relationship troubles are also greater than what was first reported. Parts of his final letters are being released.

“I needed to cleanse my mind of the brothers I’ve lost and relieve myself of the burden of the lives I took.” He also saw the US as being in terminal decline.

A past he couldn’t reconcile with, a present that was in turmoil, and no hope for the future. The describes a disturbingly large segment of post-GWOT mil.

GrayBlack, based on what is coming out, you seem right on the money.

I never understand so many people who throw away their lives needlessly.

There are so many targets that would make them heros to somebody, such as the insurance company CEO.

There are some targets that would make them a hero to everybody.

I’m not satisfied the guy was alive when the cybertruck rolled up to the valet parking.

Hard to trust anything out of Biden’s FBI.

But why would a green beret make such an ineffective VBIED?

Lots of questions…

The entire incident is irrational on every level.

He decided to kill himself in a lame and pointless way with no clear message.

This guy held a job and had no warning signs?

This doesn’t sit right.

I have nothing specific to point to, I have no alternative theory. A lot of information from a wide array of sources is reasonably consistent.

GrayBlack’s explanation makes the most sense.

But it is all oddly irrational… not just to me but to those around him.

Let’s keep giving it attention in case something doesn’t fit.

“Matthew Livelsberger is a suspect in the Tesla Vegas bombing at the Trump Hotel.

Twice last month, someone pretending to be a Green Beret from my former Operation Detachment Alpha’s (ODA) sister-team contacted me, and showed extensive knowledge of personal information about the Green Beret they claimed to be (who is still on active duty).

The person who contacted me claimed to be suicidal, likely in an attempt to get me to SWAT “his” house with either police or Green Berets to make sure he was OK. This would have given away his location if it was not already known.

Matt Livelsberger served on the same ODA and held the same position as the person who was impersonated.

A lot is not adding up about this situation in Vegas.”

Under Donald Trump, the US may become an unreliable ally. The case is getting stronger for Seoul to build its own deterrent

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/jan/04/cocksure-kim-jong-un-is-raising-the-nuclear-stakes-is-it-time-for-south-korea-to-follow-suit

More and more articles like this are appearing from South Korea’s allies. egging on South Korea to defend itself. That’s how bad things have gotten.

Regardless of allies, South Korea should maintain a responsible attitude toward defending themselves. That’s no different regardless of the occupant at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

“Under Donald Trump, the US may become an unreliable ally.”

That is an excellent observation and completely right.

There is no way he will support a willing vassal state of China that embraces the insanity of leftist globalists neofeudalism.

The the strength of the alliance is in the hands of Korea, not Trump.

But the left like to self-destruct and then blame everyone else.
