“And now imagine how you feel about your country and the people in it.”
I’m right there with you. I certainly don’t feel the same about my country or the people in it, as I used to. Take the car analogy a step further and those same people are denying the faulty car they were forced to buy has any problems at all. The car malfunctions weren’t the fault of the faulty car, because cars malfunction all the time and you can’t prove the faulty car is actually a faulty car in the first place. 🙄
I just saw a “poll” saying 38% of voters think biden is doing a good job. How. Can. Anyone. Say. That? I’m baffled that there are that many people in this country who would believe that. I think “polls” are crap, but that there is anyone who could say that at all…my mind cannot comprehend that.
Ya, I feel differently about THOSE people in THIS country now. 😔
Good article and great pictures. The world that we live in and the things that we have had to go though over the last years has numbed and depressed many of us. While we had the urge to battle and many of us did not comply with the government and societal demands, I feel like those that recognized the evil for what is was have grown weary and exhausted. I have found myself taking a mental time out and driving to myself to focus on the positives but it is imperative that we don't lose the will to continue battling so that our freedom is lost forever. They haven't stopped their planning and their efforts to install medical and governmental tyranny. They are counting on the weariness and depression that many of us are feeling. Keep looking for the positive but don't lose the focus on the battle. It is too important to relegate ourselves to the sidelines.
Beautifully said, Kevin. Thank you. I've lamented the slow erosion of freedom here for decades. At the start of the Covid® operation, I tell you...my chin hit my chest. I knew it was an operation. I knew there'd be no stopping the stampede. I knew it would be a complete disaster.
It confirmed for me what I thought for a while: This country has inhabitants -- mostly -- and very few Americans comparatively. The last four years have proven that view.
I can only be what I am -- and part of that is a woman dedicated to the basic human, natural rights of all. As for the madness taking over, the ubiquitous corruption -- all of this has been before. I often wondered as a kid why my mother so often remarked, "There is nothing new under the sun." So. Nothing new here. It's just that I struggle with the reality that it appears the lessons of all those who've come before are lost on those alive today and that we'll have to go through the same shit again...
Thanks again, Kevin. I will definitely visit your newsletter.
I agree a million percent. Who are all these people? And, when we go out to forage, it is so nuts. I look around and wonder where the middle went? I feel as if we are being boiled and WE know it. Ignorance looks like new tattoos, pink hair and 2 spare tires around the middle complete with piercings all over and the inability to decide if it is male or female. Every bit of info is more disheartening than the last. There have been no health issues with Hubs 100% 'vaccinated' crew and that alone is sus. What can we say that hasn't been said before? Nothing. I wrote this 2 years ago...along the same lines as the car. https://sadiejay.substack.com/p/shhhhits-fine
I appreciate you and your deep thought and fine words to describe what we are feeling. Ennui. Perfect. Atlas is shrugging.
Thank you, as always, Sadie Jay. This, from your giant green underwear newsletter: "You must wear the new pair of giant green underwear over the first one." Hilarious! One because it's just funny and hilarious because it's true. If one pair is good, two must be better. Or three. Did "we" mention maybe four..? And of course, you have to buy them and wear them...
You are most certainly not alone. Though it’s often difficult, I try to focus on gratitude for finding and connecting with many like-minded people - both online and IRL.
I was thinking of you the other day, Kathleen. Thinking that it had been a while since I'd seen a piece from you. I hope you're OK...and thank you for reading and commenting.
Thank you so much, Cindi! Yes, there are good things happening. What an impressive article by Nickson, citing so many examples from around the world. Her article also appeared on lewrockwell.com today, so it's getting the exposure it deserves.
So sorry I am just now responding. Loved the analogy with the car as it is spot on. What's seriously baffling is that many (too many) will not see the fault or purposeful neglect of the manufactures and leaders that pushed the badly engineered nightmare, or that we should be left to our own individual rights to purchase what is best for one another. Sadly, the “too many” will want to get mad and point the finger at those of us who don't want to buy it because it's our God-given right, and the fact that we don't want to make a choice that simply goes along with the norm! lol

Oh man...you nailed it as well. I call BS on everyone. I don't even want to leave my house.
I feel everything you are saying. Multiply those sentiments to the moon and back. Good to hear your voice SHETHINKSLIBERTY. 🙏🏻
Thank you. ❤️ I will try to get back in the saddle and stay there. :) That is, if I think I might have something of worthwhile, of value to share...
You started and ended well. There is community, and God’s beautiful creation. Was about to include a pic but alas comment limitations.

Yeah, and this was 2 years ago. I had no clue this was going to go on and on in perpetuity.

👍🙏❤️
I've gone a bit 'radio silent' myself as late.
Thank you, Sadie Jay, as usual, I relate and you express it so well. Best.

Hi K...STL is not me. But she is my person.♥
For some GLOBAL positivity….

I KNOW! I have been in despair too but when there is an actual consolidation of positivity (rare as unicorns) it really packs a punch!
Makes me feel less alone, esp globally
