Why Won’t Covid 19 go away? Ignorance
If you are wondering when the covid 19 plandemic will go away, the answer is likely never. It’s our own damn fault too. What was the saying during the height of the lockdowns? We are all in this together or something like that? Well turns out some of us are serious about infectious diseases, others do not give a rip.
I will give you a run down of my now 3rd exposure to covid by the same person and explain why this will never go away.
Tuesday last week, my co-worker basically guilt tripped me into going out to lunch, I’m talking like he had a gift card he wanted to use up, in the amount where 2 would be required to do it. We went to Chipotle. There was no line, and we took our order “to go” please remember those facts.
Tuesday afternoon he develops a loud barking cough within minutes of eating his meal, he also appeared to have a fever as he was sweating profusely. He left a little early but felt a need to declare he “didn’t have covid.” Upon him departing I noticed a half-drained bottle of Robitussin cough suppressant in the break room that wasn’t there until that day. Immediately I had a feeling something was up.
That following 7am he texts me that he is positive for covid. Yep. He claims “we” got it at Chipotle. I guess that Chipotle didn’t smear the chik-fil-a sauce above the door like the Babylon Bee said to do way back when. It was weird, as I had zero symptoms at all.
Fast forward to Thursday, he claims he “had two bad days in a row.” I was fine, until around 3pm when I started sweating, and had a gnarly sore throat, I’m talking like a large piece of glass cutting my throat each time I would take a breath, or swallow. The pain was unbearable. I tested at a pharmacy, and viola! Positive! A full 2 days after eating and being “exposed” to some mystery person at Chiptole who doesn’t exist. Friday was a rough day, even after taking government mystery drug Paxlovid, and copious amounts of NyQuil (the sore throat and barking cough were painful, sleep was at a premium. Finally on Saturday around 6pm I began to come out of this. Sunday I was back to being a fully functioning adult.
As mentioned above this was now my third bout with this highly contagious virus that attacks your lungs…. Did I mention I race obstacle courses competitively and rank 12000 in the world? One would think your co-workers would at least give half a damn about that but no. Oh did I mention my father is undergoing chemotherapy for cancer? Guess who I was with Monday and Tuesday last week? Yup.
Monday at the office he stuck to his Chipotle story. So, I guess there is now a wild variant of this virus, one that has a time lapse of 2 days prior to releasing, while simultaneously having on that impacts instantly? He also denied any symptoms on Monday or Tuesday, yet had the presence of mind to test himself Wednesday early morning? Maybe Warren Buffett has competition when it comes to predicting things? Makes no sense. The only people who we interacted with were each other, for 2 straight days, Monday and Tuesday.
That’s when it became abundantly clear. He was exposed over the weekend.
He likely developed sore throat symptoms on Monday circa lunchtime, and that part is easy to hide. He developed the cough symptom I’m guessing Tuesday mid-morning, hence the downing of cough suppressants to “fool” those in the office. If you do not cough, and don’t complain of throat soreness did it ever exist? The gig was up Tuesday evening as he likely had such a bad cough, throat and fever that he knew he could no longer hide it. So he pulled the Chipotle excuse. By doing that he could say we both got it at the same time. Timelines do not lie though.
Covid will never go away due to the actions of the above culprit. Rather than staying at home or getting tested at first symptom, he waited yet again until it was too late. The bigger issue is by doing so he rendered any sort of isolation pointless and moot. The virus very likely could have impacted my father, or anyone I play basketball with ay the gym, or interact with at church or my extracurricular activities. It’s not just about yourself. People like him are the reason we keep needing new boosters/vaccines. I am not sure what is so hard about isolating/distancing when sick, but obviously that’s too much to ask.
I have permanent damage to my lungs from this virus and being exposed 3 times to it. I do not want to have to pay for this in my 60s and 70s but I fear I will. While I do not think my racing career will be affected in the near term, it likely will be if I plan to keep it up after 50.
On a serious note, I am making a big change. I will be telling the head man in charge here next time I get any virus form my colleague I am quitting on the spot. Yep, I have had it of the gaslighting and prolonged exposure to communicable diseases, my father is in immunocompromised state (Jesus, I sound like Fauci) and I am sick of burning vacation days when I get sick form a colleague. Oh yeah, the covid 19 test, subsequent doctors visit (required for a prescription mind you) and Paxlovid has run me about $600. I do not mind exposure to a common cold/flu due to seasonal nature, but folks all 3 times I was given covid the early symptoms were enough to know something serious was wrong, I am too young and energetic to have to worry about long term health effects.
I guess we will see what next poo-poo platter of viruses my coworker tries to hit me with.

Am I out of My Mind?
Yesterday I did something that I never would have considered even a few months ago. I will give the punchline and then the story.
Yesterday, I offered to pay the legal fees of a lady if she would file for a divorce. Yep, how’s that for a hook for my story.
I have known this person for a while via a business here in town. She is very attractive except for one thing, she is miserable. The Book of Proverbs references a person with a fallen countenance and this woman sure fits that description. She is in pain. I can feel it when I’m in her presence. Other folks that know her don’t get that sense at all but wow; how could you miss it?
She doesn’t wear a wedding ring, and I personally know some men that have asked her out for a casual date. They were brushed off but were never told that she is married. One of my neighbors is her friend and we had a chat after this woman did something nice for me. It was then that I learned that the woman was married.
I was able to chat with the miserable lady via text message. She initiated the contact, but I will not get into the details here. Via a text exchange, I was able to confirm her agony and marital status. She declined even speaking to me outside of work. The vibe I get is that she has been abused and abandoned. At one point, she said she would pursue a divorce, but not for another five years. Folks, I don’t think she can endure five more years of suffering.
I went to my collection of books and pulled out Second Chance: Biblical Principles of Divorce and Remarriage by Ray Sutton. In this book, Sutton covers biblical grounds for divorce and remarriage. In it, he discusses the fact that you can be married on paper but that you may have a partner that is covenantally dead. A spouse can commit sin such that they have destroyed the marriage. If that happens, the offended party has not only a right, but an obligation to file for divorce if reconciliation is not possible.
“Death is covenantal in the Bible, not mere cessation of existence. It is the loss of a relationship with God through an ethical violation of the original bond. It is the severance of the fundamental God/man union, due to disobedience to the covenant-terms…”
“Covenantal death … also means that if the spouse breaks the moral terms of the covenant, he will die to the relationship, and the marriage would be dissolved.”
Sutton lists six grounds for divorce (see his book pages 57 & 58 for more detail)
1 Idolatry, Blasphemy, and False Prophecy
2 Witchcraft, Divination, and Spiritism
3 Sabbath-breaking
4 Sexual Sins
5 Murder
6 Contumacy and Malicious Perjury
Most folks think of the reasons for divorce as adultery or abandonment, but Sutton shows that much more is in view. If a violation occurs, the innocent party is free to declare the marriage as dead and move on.
“… the innocent party is free to divorce and remarry when his spouse commits one of the capital offenses, since the guilty party dies covenantally to his covenant with God, and he simultaneously kills the marriage covenant at that moment. … the innocent party is always required to try to restore his marriage. … He is not obligated to divorce, even if the guilty spouse does not repent, but the innocent party is free to marry.”
Based on the above info, I made my offer. My text to her can be summed up as, if you have a biblical basis to divorce then I will pay up to $3,000 in legal fees on your behalf.
She politely declined but later indicated that she was looking at filing papers now to end the marriage.
One of my friends that had previously asked her out wondered why she waited. My response was, better the devil you know…
Life in a small town can get really interesting in unexpected ways.
Bryan Kohberger Got What He Wanted–Shame on You IDAHO!
Today had to have been painful for the families of the four students killed by Kohberger, even more painful for the two survivors. The families are going through a constant hell, get togethers with empty seats, personalities missing from parties, weddings/birthdays/milestones never to be celebrated. Sure, they got their day in court today, to face the monster who killed their loved ones/friends. He sat there stone faced, not a care in the world. Sure, the speakers could beat him up verbally and call him all the names they wanted, but it doesn’t and won’t matter. Kohberger got exactly what he wanted out of this whole ordeal.
He will die famous in the small town of Moscow, Idaho.
Sure, he will be spending his remaining years in a supermax outside of Moscow, but still, everyone in the US knows who Bryan Kohberger is. Similar to Charles Manson, The East Area Rapist, the Unabomber, Whitey Bulger; these folks get/got to die famous.
What’s my point? No one will remember who I am outside of close family and friends when I leave this earthly plane. The entire USA knows who Bryan Kohberger is.
From the day of the quadruple murders to the media circus that followed, to the day of his arrest, he got what he wanted. Everyone was glued to the TV, who done it? Why? How come? Who could be so evil? Was there a serial killer on the loose? Believe me when I say this Kohberger may have been on the run, but he was likely watching the coverage of his murders. It was calculated and planned out, he was studying criminology or something at Washington State University, I say or something because I do not care about him. He wanted attention because he is a sociopath; he knew after committing this heinous crime that he would be featured on; Nancy Grace, Greta Van Susteren, and Ashleigh Banfield (newsnation) nightly for weeks on end. Even though those news hosts claim not to care about him, they covered him extensively for the last 3 years. (This the old news axiom, if it bleeds, it leads.)
His pretrial hearing was insane, the motions to dismiss or disregard evidence that was damning was just a pivot. He had made up several conspiracies about how a friend of the deceased actually killed them not him. It was all a ruse, just a way to keep him in the news. He loved this, he was likely watching from his jail holding cell in county lock up each night. Oh yeah, they get cable tv and access to the internet via iPad type devices…. Paid for by Wiliam’s tax dollars! (Idaho taxpayers) .
If he wanted fame and notoriety, why did he take the plea deal?
Isn’t it obvious? Idaho has the death penalty, oh and by the way they actually use it, unlike the Peoples Republic of California. Oh, and Idaho has the firing squad, good luck saying that’s cruel and unusual punishment like lethal injection. Also, unlike lethal injection, with the firing squad you won’t see a botched execution, they will just shoot you again! So, Kohberger needed to take the plea, no one wants to exhaust their appeals and know death is around the corner. Plus, it was unlikely Kohberger had any appeals that would be heard.
But taking a plea means no appeals, so what was the point in sparing his own life?
Correct, he cannot appeal his sentence, he spared his own life so he can continue to use the media while in jail. Look for Kohberger to run a drill by writing letters to local papers/journalists throughout the area to tell his story. You have large markets like Boise, smaller markets like, Spokane and Pullman, and very small markets like Moscow or Nampa. He only needs one to write back to him. Remember he never spoke at his sentencing hearing nor during the trial, it’s a total mystery as to; how, when, why and what for. He can and will attempt to spill the “tea” by promising to tell all about his murders and the motive in exchange for something. Likely to have his commissary account (food) loaded with money etc. You have to remember jail is no fun, but he gets 3 warm meals a day, a bed, and access to cable and internet in his room. All that is missing is better food, and the attention that will come from the media!
But he cannot get out? Right?
Well yes and no. Sure, life without parole is the sentence (X4 actually, plus ten years) but things can change. They never found the murder weapon, and they have no motive for the killings…. Think the Innocence Project could take this one up at some point? Look in my home state, convicted double murderer Scott Petersen might get a new trial because the Innocence Project took up his case. Political risk is a thing as well; Idaho might be dark red right now but who knows what could happen in 15-20 years? Get a little bluer? Look at the Menendez brothers in California, it’s looking more and more like they will walk free here someday under some sort of “compassionate release program.” (Blogger note: it appears one brother’s health took a fatal turn so that might be driving the release of him.) The Menendez brothers got life without parole, as did quite a few others who are having their sentences re-visited. Kohberger could one day walk free. Likely? Maybe not, but it could happen. Far better chance than being on death row.
The plea deal was a joke, brought by a weak-kneed prosecutor.
While I will admit most of this evidence was circumstantial, they did have DNA and lots of cell phone pings around the scene of the murder in the weeks leading up to it. In a small town like Moscow, you need to pursue the death penalty. The “we didn’t want to put the families through a trial and years of appeals” is BS. If you believe this plea deal was about saving money for the state, you are gullible. This was a Scott Adams (aka Dilbert creator) special…. The prosecutor took the weasel way out. His crying during his statement during the sentencing hearing was for the camera folks, he could and should have gone for the jugular but he refused. He never even let the families of the deceased know.
The judge didn’t have to accept the plea deal either
This is a little-known fact, judges can; accept, deny, or enhance any plea deal. He chose not to. Then he, like the prosecutor, choked up for the camera to put on a show during the sentencing hearing.
In closing Kohberger got what he wanted. He got life in prison, hopefully a fellow prisoner will “Epstein” him. But we have not heard the end from him yet. He will make attempts to tell his story to local reporters, or national ones for that matter. He will try to get his case looked at by the Innocence Project, anything to keep his name in the news. He will torment the families of the deceased for decades. In a just world Kohberger would have been sentenced to death, and the deed done within a decade. The scum wiped from this earth. A deterrent for all who seek to be like him. Commit this crime in Idaho, we will remove you from earth, quickly. But no. He got what he wanted. The families, friends, and people of Idaho now get to pay for this man’s food, shelter, and healthcare for life, oh, include cable and internet as well. Oh, and perhaps most ironically, they will be paying the prison guards to keep him safe from other prisoners who will be trying to kill him.
Even worse, he got to sit in on hours of victim impact statements from families trying to make him cry. Kohberger is evil. He wanted this. He loved every minute of it. He sat there stoic, emotionless, and with no emotion. He loved every minute of it. He knew Van Susteren, Grace, and Banfield would be showing it on tv nightly. He got what he wanted. The lawyer from the local firm Dewey, Screwem, and Howe told me the best thing to have done would have been to not show up. An empty courtroom would have sunk Kohberger. He wanted folks to cry and pour out statements about the folks he killed. The people that he snuffed-out were going to do big things, but for him. Kohberger got his rocks off on the pain that he caused. He loved every minute of it. He uttered 3 whole words during the entire hearing. When the judge asked if he wanted to speak, he said “I respectfully decline.” It was a charade for him; he got what he wanted.
He gets to die famous… doesn’t seem very just to me.

Cancer… Serious or Not? Who Knows
So, on Sunday last week, while over for dinner, my father told me his cancer was back. Prostate, that he had treated 13 years ago. He shared that the survival rate was 13 years so it was kind of expected that it would return. I was told it was very treatable, and it was caught early enough that essentially it would be defeated again. This is not to say that things can’t go horribly wrong. Again, reference the timeline, it was this past Sunday.
Thursday comes around, and prior to dinner my mother (who appeared 10pm drunk at the early hour of 6pm) while my father was on the phone told me, “The cancer is very aggressive and chemotherapy treatments are starting Saturday, as in the immediate weekend.” Maybe it’s just me, but why start ASAP when it’s not serious? Like really serious? You would think most starting ASAP likely have extremely unfavorable diagnosis and likely are fighting Father Time. My father then declared he wasn’t going to let anyone know who wasn’t an immediate relative… well, I guess that’s his prerogative, but leaving people in the dark doesn’t seem smart, and likely causes more stress later. My father also said he doesn’t want people crying here or calling him with wild and whacky things to try to remedy the cancer. What? I thought it was very treatable? Hair on fire treatments and fringe internet “cures” are what happens when hope is lost, I thought?
Fast forward to Saturday, he heads off for chemotherapy and my task was to cook. I received a text message early that afternoon saying my sister was in route from Southern California. Seems odd she would make this trip if everything was Hunky Dorey fine right? Oh, she is in town for 3 weeks, again something seems very off here. My father also said he will not be telling his mother as he doesn’t want her to worry about him… yet he told his 5 siblings? Does he think they won’t spill the beans? My father’s side of the family has more drama than all major networks carrying soap operas have combined.
Sunday was a whole different experience. My phone was blowing up as word had spread like wildfire. Folks I haven’t spoken to in my family for years suddenly wanted to know about his condition and since I live 3 minutes away, I was the one to call. I obviously had zero info, but it sounded like the story they got was completely different from the one I got. Now its chemo through the month of November, a far cry from “7 treatments.” Also, my mother who accompanied him to said treatment started oddly using strange “legal disclaimers” after each question she was asked by me. “Your experience may vary” “Every person is different.” “We sincerely hope we caught it early, but things happen.” It sounds like a whale of a tail I was told.
To put a bow on this, I feel strongly I have been given a best-case scenario, with the hope of “he will run with this info and do my bidding for me!” I have been asked over the last 3 months if my father was ok as he was losing weight. He is wearing shorts/pants that are a good size or two too big for him, and his belt now appears as if he got it at Goodwill for a buck and they only had one size, XXXL. He still has a large appetite, but that could just be a front when I am coming over. He has traveled outside the country for the first time in his life. 2 months ago…. He never had a desire to leave the US. Could this be a “bucket list trip?” I’m not sure. What I do know is he is suspiciously silent and somehow everyone knows what is going on except for me. It seems odd he wants no one to know yet tells his siblings that essentially act like the world’s megaphone, everyone within earshot will know. Then I am being forced to tell a favorable story that is also likely not true. Summoning my sister was a warning sign that things are not what they seem. My mother’s “drunk person’s words that night, were a sober one’s thoughts.” I got a version of the story run through a filter several times to make sure it put me at ease.
I have a sneaky feeling that the next update may be planning for life after my father. I am not sure why they would not be honest to their oldest offspring, but such is life I guess. I hope I’m wrong but sadly things are not lining up that way.

What the Texas Flooding can Teach us about Government
Sad, tragic, unthinkable, the horror of sending your daughter to church camp only for them to be swept away by a massive once in a forever flooding event. Or to have your entire house washed away, or watching in horror as family members/friends/acquaintances are swept away by the flooding knowing you cannot do anything about it. It’s awful and I shudder to even try to imagine how those families feel.
Now the blame game has begun. The cable TV watchers and hosts are eager to find a scape goat to blame this on. It was actually part amusing, it’s on at my gym so I would watch about a segment or two a day. God I’m glad I don’t pay for that at my house. First you had the psychotic Margarie Taylor Green saying it’s cloud seeding that was done to change weather patterns. Yeah. A grown adult said that. Then you had a flurry of Democrats saying Texas turned down money for a better emergency warning system, that would have warned about the flooding. Yep, you lost a loved one, damn those Republicans in Texas, and damn the “cloud seeding group.” Yikes. That’s how far we have fallen as a country. We now politicize children/people dying.
Blaming the other party, or a government organization, or a hair on fire conspiracy theory when people are dying/dead/missing makes you the lowest of the low. It’s not the fault of a political party or any person for the deaths that occurred.
Whose fault is it then?
It’s the collective whose fault. Why was the camp allowed to be built in a “long dried up creek?” I think that is a fair question. It was approved by a planning commission and a zoning commission. Did anyone think to ask about “what if a once in a lifetime event happens?” Or maybe a step further in saying “this used to be a creek, we should modify this to flood proof it?” Everything is bigger in Texas, including the flooding.
What about the lack of a flash flood warning?
This is crazy to even ask. It’s almost as bad as the Republicans I know saying “if only the fire hydrants worked during the Pacific Palisades fire!” That is delusional thinking. A flash flood warning may appear on your TV should you be watching it as a weather alert, it may appear via text message on your phone (if you have service, the part of Texas we are talking about is very, very rural.) service likely didn’t exist. A flood siren going off? Is it tested? Would it work? It was also very early in the morning while folks were sleeping, it likely would have been ignored. It’s easy to be a Monday morning quarterback, everyone can say a day later what they woulda/coulda/shoulda done the day before.
If you are relying on the government to keep you safe or give you an early warning then rethink your priorities. In my area, Oroville dam had its spillway take major damage. We were told nothing was wrong, even though it was obvious the spillway was deteriorating by the hour. Simultaneously with the government assuring that there was no threat to public safety, downstream of the dam, the government removed the baby salmon from the fish hatchery and PG&E took down the powerlines nearby (I’m actually thankful for this, as that company tends to kill about as many innocent civilians as Netanyahu does in each conflict). I was told by a 90-day loving co-worker that there was nothing to worry about, as he had yet to see a TV segment or report on this. Well, a couple days later I got a text while he was in the office about the dam was going to fail and massive flooding was imminent. He got a phone call from his wife, to which after hanging up, he decided he needed to leave right away, but that all was well. His master plan? Head for higher ground in an automobile with no 4-wheel drive. First issue with his plan…. The higher ground was actually in the direction of said dam. Secondly, when you are in a car, you are at the mercy of a large wave of rising flood waters. I prefer my chances inside a building or at the very least on foot to be able to maneuver tough terrain quicker and easier than trying to find a passable roadway.
Two days later
He came into work buzzing about how the “roads were crowded, and the store shelves were vacant.” Sound like the plandemic boys and girls? Please do not hoard toilet paper? Please don’t hoard groceries/staples etc.? Keep in mind where we work is a solid 3 hours plus from that dam. Additionally, with the farm land, designated flood zones and the ability to blast the levee further north, we were never in any danger of seeing standing water period, let alone some sort of Texas style flooding. Me? I worked my day, went to the gym, went home and if this tidal wave were to come, I would simply climb into my attic, bust a whole in the roof and fly my American flag simply letting folks know someone is here. Of course he had an insult to call my plan.
Here is my comeback to his “plan”
Thou fool (William’s term which I love btw). You watch more TV in a single morning than I do in a month. Rather than thinking for yourself, you rely on a talking head reporting from a studio to tell you what to do. Did it not occur to you, the smart folks like your co-workers, were unfazed and didn’t leave? You had the genius idea to stop at a store looking for essentials… for what purpose exactly? You tried to get gasoline; the lines were a mile long… I wonder why? What was your plan? Oh, wait you left the house because a talking head said go… you never had one. Just like a lemming walking toward a cliff, you aren’t smart enough to figure out the next move and over the cliff you go. Yet you think you were the smart one that day. Both parties rely on people just like him, they don’t take a stand on any issue and always do as instructed by the propaganda network.
In closing I will say this. Let me repeat if you are thinking a government run emergency alert system is the answer, check yourself into a clinic. Think for yourself and please turn the tv off. I cut the cable about 9 years ago. I do not miss it. I think for myself and always have a plan, one criticism I have of the older generation is they make the same mistakes over and over again, repetitively because they never learn a lesson. My hypothesis is that they run their lives like a tv show, the next episode is on tomorrow and yesterday’s is in the past.
The Chief
“I’m from the government and I’m here to help” used to be a statement people feared, now it’s embraced. I’m scared for the country’s future…. I really am. And I didn’t walk uphill in the snow to school both ways like the scared generation did.
Epstein Client List
One of the holy grails of conspiracy theorists and disillusioned conservatives is who were Epstein’s clients and was he a Massad agent?
The second question seems to be “yes”, as I hear nobody disputing that Israel was a sponsor of his “pleasure island”. In fact, I think portions of our government were in on it too.
As for the client list, that is a bit richer. For years we have heard that not only is there a list, but each sexual encounter was video taped and carefully catalogued. Jeffrey Epstein was running a “honey trap” and a blackmail operation. Whether and to what extent the information was used to shape government policy and manipulate corporations, and government interests is not known.
Now, after campaigning on it, Trump and his minions now says there is no list! WTF? This is totally not credible. Trump got scammed on Covid in his first term and this is a scam that won’t go away. This Epstein issue is toxic and will erode his support in ways that the Democrats have been unable to do.
If Epstein had no clients, then there would be no victims, and no crimes. Thus, his assistant, Ghislaine Maxwell should be released from jail ASAP.
This is the flaw in the Trump Administration’s new claims that there is no list. They have the conviction of Maxwell, but she is now innocent!? Sorry, but the court and jury said evidence existed, hence a guilty verdict, then but there’s none now!? Are we to believe now that Hillary wiped the list with bleach and a battery-operated drill?
Help me out. We have a list of victims and criminal masterminds but no perpetrators.
Then there is the issue of Epstein’s murder. The proof of suicide, like the guy on the grassy knoll, seems to be cut from the video at exactly the critical moment of truth. The timecodes on the cell video are broken. Did the Swamp Rats, flip Trump again? Something stinks in this whole thing.
I really want some folks to go to jail, get divorced by their wives, and have their reputations destroyed. After what happened to the young girls who were victimized, such might be a downpayment on the justice they deserve.
The truth is that whoever releases a list first, it will be up to everyone else to decide if it’s valid and complete or not. Setting the narrative will be the benchmark in the court of public opinion.
Allan Dershowitz claims there never was a client list, but he knows the names that have been redacted in previously released documents. Dershowitz maintains that federal judges in the southern district of New York are blocking the release of information.
The alternate way of doing this is to follow the money and trace Epstein’s financial transactions.
This is why the whole record needs to be on the record. I don’t think Bill Gates and Prince Andrew should be the only guys on the hook. The amount of justice being obstructed fuels the speculation that Epstein ran a lucrative operation. He certainly rubbed shoulders with the rich and powerful and did “favors” for them.
Is the public argument now whether Epstein kept a spreadsheet or rolodex of names or just knew who was writing checks to him for pimping out young girls. I wonder if we are parsing words. Clearly there are lists, partial or otherwise.
Epstein Didn’t Kill Himself …. Or Did He?
A pox on Jonnie Does, Chief, and Jake the Snake’s houses! I had told them Epstein didn’t kill himself and the government was covering it all up! They better be smearing Chick-fil-A sauce over their doors each night! They have been warned! They all tried to get the editorial board to block this blog. I get the last hurrah!
I can appreciate a good conspiracy, NBA draft lottery being rigged, games being fixed, the Clinton Crime Family, People “falling out of 2nd story windows in Russia, and planes “disappearing over Malaysia.” But these four things I know are true; we have never been to the moon, the earth is flat, covid was a hoax, and Jeffrey Epstein didn’t kill himself.” Trust me, the first 3 have already been proven true, I will now show you positive proof of the last one.
We were all told Epstein killed himself in his jail cell, he had no help. Jeffrey Epstein, if you are not aware, is the guy accused of “allegedly” sex trafficking girls as young as 14 for wealthy clients/friends/celebrities/politicians/etc. to have sex with. Also arrested and jailed was his accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell. Maxwell “allegedly” recruited these girls, again, as young as age 14, for this operation.
For years we were left to wonder who was listed on the “client” list, rumors of; Prince Andrew, Alan Dershowitz, Bill Richardson to name a few. He was also running in the same circles with this list; Epstein was a longtime acquaintance of Prince Andrew and Tom Barrack, and attended parties with many prominent people, including Bill Clinton, George Stephanopoulos, Mark Zuckerberg, Donald Trump, Katie Couric, Woody Allen, Jeff Bezos, Sergey Brin, Naomi Campbell, Stephen Hawking, and Harvey Weinstein. Contacts listed in his printed phone directory included Rupert Murdoch, Michael Bloomberg, Andrew Cuomo, John Kerry, Richard Branson, Alec Baldwin, David Koch and Michael Jackson. The “black book” also included Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak, British prime minister Tony Blair, and Saudi Arabian crown prince Mohammed bin Salman. This is quite a diverse list of clients and friends. Several as you can see were either accused of or rumored to engage in this type of behavior. Bloggers note: Due to me naming Clinton as a client, expect me to “commit suicide by 4 shots to the back of my head by a gun I do not own.”
So where is the conspiracy? Well look at that list of clients. Maybe look a couple more times. Those are wealthy and powerful folks who do not want their reputation clobbered and destroyed. Hell, look at Weinstein on that list, he is done. Well, while in jail Epstein died. Yep, in a cell with a live video feed strictly to watch for suicide, he died. It was ruled suicide. He was with a cell mate, kind of odd when you are “that” kind of prisoner. His cell mate was a former New York corrections officer… again kind of weird, huh. Of all the folks to share a cell with, it’s the one occupation that could do the deed and maybe not get noticed or know how to stage it.
Here is a full accounting of his “stay” at jail. Also notice the lack of protocol followed.
When Epstein was placed in the special housing unit, the jail informed the Justice Department that he would have a cellmate, and that a guard would look into the cell every thirty minutes. These procedures were not followed on the night of his death. On August 9, 2019, Epstein’s cellmate was transferred out, but no one took his place. Later in the evening, contrary to the jail’s normal procedure, Epstein was not checked every thirty minutes. The two guards who were assigned to check his jail unit that night fell asleep and did not check on him for about three hours; the guards falsified related records. Two cameras in front of Epstein’s cell also malfunctioned that night.
Epstein was found dead in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in New York City at 6:30 a.m. EDT on August 10, 2019. The Bureau of Prisons said lifesaving measures were initiated immediately upon the discovery of Epstein’s body. Emergency responders were called and he was taken to a hospital. On August 10, 2019, the Bureau of Prisons and U.S. Attorney General William Barr called the death an apparent suicide, although no final determination had been made. The United States Department of Justice‘s Inspector General’s investigation report released on June 27, 2023, criticized jail officials for repeated “negligence, misconduct, and outright job performance failures” in connection with Epstein’s incarceration and death. It also denied the suggestion that what happened was anything other than a suicide. In May 2025, the FBI announced plans to release surveillance footage from the night of Jeffrey Epstein’s death, aiming to address ongoing conspiracy theories. Deputy Director Dan Bongino stated that the video clearly shows Epstein alone in his cell, with no evidence of outside involvement, reaffirming the official ruling of suicide.
Here is the autopsy, again notice the wild inconsistences.
On August 11, 2019, an autopsy was performed. It appeared likely that Epstein had thrown himself violently off the cell’s top bunk, which would explain the damage he suffered, other than strangulation. The preliminary result of the autopsy found that Epstein sustained multiple breaks in his neck bones. Among the bones broken in Epstein’s neck was the hyoid bone. Such breaks of the hyoid bone can occur from those who hang themselves from some substantial height, e.g. jumping from a chair into the rope, but they are more common in victims of homicide by strangulation. A 2010 study found broken hyoids in twenty-five percent of cases of hangings. A larger study conducted from 2010 to 2016 found hyoid damage in just 16 of 264, or six percent, of cases of hangings. Hyoid bone breaks become more common with age, as the bones become more brittle. Forensic pathologist Cyril Wecht noted that hanging by leaning forward would not result in broken cervical bones.
On August 16, 2019, Barbara Sampson, the New York City medical examiner, ruled Epstein’s death a suicide by hanging. The medical examiner, according to Epstein’s defense counsel, only saw nine minutes of footage from one security camera to help her arrive at her conclusion. Epstein’s defense lawyers were not satisfied with the conclusion of the medical examiner and were conducting their own independent investigation into the cause of Epstein’s death, including taking legal action, if necessary, to view the pivotal camera footage near his cell during the night of his death. Epstein’s lawyers said that the evidence concerning Epstein’s death was “far more consistent” with murder than suicide. Michael Baden, an independent pathologist hired by the Epstein estate, observed the autopsy. In October 2019, Baden said that Epstein had experienced a number of injuries—among them a broken bone in his neck—that “are extremely unusual in suicidal hangings and could occur much more commonly in homicidal strangulation”. Baden stated that he thinks that the evidence points to homicide rather than suicide.
So, you see all that info right? Seems suspicious, maybe conspiratorial right? You know what the easiest way to debunk a conspiracy or myth is? The truth. It isn’t that hard. Pam Bondi claimed she had the documents and was going to release them. Including the client list. Also, there was video to be released, I believe circa 8 whole hours. Bondi and Kash Patel seem competent, so I believed it was the case. Epstein didn’t kill himself; they said it as well. They released the documents and footage. BIG PROBLEM. There is a minute of video unaccounted for. Oh by the way, it was between 11:59pm and 12:00 am. Yeah, no conspiracy there right? Wild time for the video footage to be spliced together, but yeah, no way he was murdered. Oh, and the client list? There is/was no list.
So, answer me this. If there is/was never a client list, where was the crime? Why is Maxwell still in prison? Why was Epstein in prison?
Sorry, but I’m now a believer that this story was covered up in a bi-partisan way. Too many rich and powerful on that list, things were leaking out and action was needed. Epstein was offed in prison, Maxwell continues rotting there today, and all files gone, including one minute of camera footage from an 8-hour recording. You had 1 job, you said it never happened. I thought this conspiracy would die out, but nope, you re-opened it and made more believers that he didn’t kill himself.
Final serious thought. It’s a troll blog so it’s satirical in nature, but I do believe the alleged crimes were committed, I also believe the powerful came together to squash this issue. Donald Trump seems to love shining light in every corner to watch the cockroaches scramble futilely, but in this case he failed. Patel and Bondi, as mentioned above, seem pretty sharp, and this was the equivalent of a wet fart they dropped on us. Next thing you know, they will say they have proof 2020 election was rigged, then say well actually it wasn’t. I will say this; the world is a better place without Epstein, it will be a better place without Maxwell, sorry but it’s true. These crimes are the lowest of the low. Trump, you better figure some things out, because you are starting to look like the deep state you claim to be fighting. I guess if you live long enough you see yourself go from hero to villain.
The “Trump/Musk Bromance” Was Always going to end like this
It was a match that was never going to work out. Didn’t it seem odd at the time, here is Elon Musk liberal darling who all of a sudden took a right turn. He became the darling of the right wing, kind of like a born-again Christian. They love to espouse how much they love the faith, but it’s obvious they have never actually read/listened or practiced it.
Why though?
What many in the far left and right are not able to comprehend is that many a wealthy folk/heads of corporations want to be friends with the group in power. Harris lost, it was time to circle back to Trump. Now in the case of Musk, he is actually more of a libertarian in a sense of wanting freedom of speech (he bought X) and legalizing all drugs. Zuckerberg and others donated/flocked to Trump’s inauguration, many writing big checks. Not because they agree with Trump, it’s essentially a bribe to make it so his DOJ won’t break up their monopoly in tech.
But they got along so well?
Well in a sense yes. Musk saw Trump as a conduit, not a friend. It’s the opinion of this blogger that Musk wanted to parlay DOGE into being head of NASA or some other department that can help his companies out financially. Musk read and played Trump like a fiddle, Trump has loyalty to no one in DC and hates the culture. Look no further than Trump’s cabinet picks this go round. It’s a who-who of Fox News hosts/contributors, and politicians from certain states/areas who are loyalists to him. Qualifications be damned. Musk knew he likely could not get confirmed by the Senate since he angered the left helping Trump, and a lot on the right, like me, view him skeptically. So, DOGE was created.
Then what?
Well DOGE was somewhat successful in the eyes of some but likely in the eyes of Trump it failed. Trump wanted to find several trillion in savings… Musk could not deliver. Sure, DOGE did some good things, but it’s hard to find waste to cut. Waste to you is someone else’s pet project/grift. Also, Musk hurt himself by coming up with conspiracies that were flat out debunked; army of zombie 150-year-olds getting Social Security benefits anyone? I think Elon at that point realized the easy cuts were done, and he was looking for an off ramp to be rewarded for his work at DOGE. (As a side bar, the DOGE cuts never went through Congress as far as we know, so they will likely be revived under a different presidency.)
What was next?
To repeat, I think Musk was eyeing being NASA director, or somewhere there because he didn’t seem to want to be re-appointed to DOGE. Then came the Big Beautiful Bill (BBB) and its circa, 4 trillion dollars in new debt, price tag. Musk called Trump on the carpet about the debt and the debt ceiling parts of the bill. Trump hated it. Trump didn’t realize Musk is actually just like him politically, they are populists. I know the MAGA wing won’t like that description but it’s true. Tell me where Trump or Musk stand on something? It’s a shifting scale that slides depending on how it affects them and/or their poling numbers.
The marriage gets annulled
The fallout was wild to watch, kind of like an Enron executive’s fall from grace. The war of words on social media between the two was literally out of some reality tv type show. Allegations of Elon being on drugs on the campaign trail and not able to pass a drug screen to Trump being on the Epstein client list. It was bizarre. (Oh, wait there is no client list? WTF)
What really went down?
In one corner you have the richest man in the world, he blew a couple hundred million on Trump’s election and that is vapor to him. Musk has done very well for himself. In the other corner you have the most powerful man in the world in Donald Trump. Neither of these men like hearing “no.” They are also both extremely petty… kind of like someone I used to associate with. You go against them just once and they set out to ruin your life/isolate you. Musk is now starting a third party; Trump wants to deport him. Musk is threatening primaries against folks who supported the BBB, Trump will primary those who did not support his BBB.
Trump now wants to cut all of Musk’s green energy benefits….?
Bingo, we have a winner. Folks Elon Musk has made his fortune on the backs of taxpayers. Green energy credits, interest free government loans, cap and trade credits, government grants and subsidies, all for his green energy empire. Folks, Musk was a died in the wool liberal as far as California goes. Tesla was going to be forced on everyone, and in some parts of the Bay Area, it seems like it was. Solar was also a field Musk was in on. His SpaceX company is another that does a lot of business with the government among his other affairs. Cut those out, and Musk’s empire goes pop. Hence the reason he is raging out right now. Liberals have stopped buying his vehicles and conservatives have never wanted them. Dirty little secret … Musk’s subsidies likely never survive even if DOGE found trillions in cuts. I would not be stunned to see the subsidies darn near eliminated on a federal basis.
The next chapter will be fun to watch.

Online Dating? Not for me
The Blog Father has written about online dating lately, so I wanted to share my experiences. Most online dating sites, I won’t say all are a cesspool. I tried it for about 2 months based on a friend telling me, “Everyone is on it.” She was right… Do I say really right? It was a sewer. Granted it was a free site so I should have known. It was also a Catholic one to boot. Folks, as has been written here, lots of folks are religious, lots also attend Sunday service, very few actually listen. Most, I think, just want the “hall pass” they think going to church provides for the sins of the week.
Here are the types you will encounter:
AI/ChatGPT created profiles: They are fake accounts run by likely men to be honest here. You can tell because the responses to your inquiries are tailored to fit what you are looking for. Oh yes, I work out daily… what’s my favorite exercise? Anything that makes me look good. Big red flag.
Working girls: These are the ones more than happy to send a scantily clad photo to you. Then they try to get the conversation off the platform that you’re on. Only Fans and other sites are where they want you to view their profile. Oh, it’s pay to play by the way.
Scammers: You know the play here. It’s I have a car bill totaling $1200 so I can’t come visit you. After they admit they don’t have a car. Then they can’t say the name of said car repair facility only that its “local.” Oh, and they send scantily clad photos as well to keep you on the line. Bear in mind, the photos you are getting are most certainly not the person you think you are interacting with, they were likely screen shotted off the internet. That’s right, they are using someone else’s image and likeness to try to hook you in.
People trying to cosplay someone else: I met up with a girl who I did like. I felt she felt the same about me. I added her on Facebook and quickly found out it was a scheme. She was playing her own version of the bachelorette. She even had photos of her “dates and asking the comment section what they thought.” Yep, full stop. I deleted said Facebook and dating website. I have no desire to compete with other men, and I am no trophy or prize to be won. Oh, and having to ask your female friends or a comment section what they think shows what amounts to an undeveloped brain. I do not care what your friends think, I want to know what you think.
Bottom line. Stay vigilant if online dating is for you, but as I stated above it’s a sewer and it has/takes all types. What is my remedy? Well, I do not really have one. I would say use your network plus friends and places you like. It is risky but I would rather play with the pool I know rather than the one I do not know. Being taken advantage of is not cool… thankfully I have not been.
The Chief
Editor’s Note: Thus far, between two dating websites, I have found one real human and at least seven fake accounts trying to play me. I have deleted my account membership from one website and the accompanying profile. In addition, I have cut down the personal information on the one remaining site. Not to say it’s better, just that the scammers are not as good as the previous site that I cancelled. Yesterday, I was able to identify the fraud by the third text exchange. This happened on two separate accounts in one day. The AI chatbot was by far, very close to getting away with it, but it doesn’t have the awareness to hide itself. Proof of life (i.e. that you are talking to a real person) will get harder as technology improves but it is a good first step. Proof of gender may very well be the second hurdle. If you saw some of the profile photos that I’ve seen, you would agree.
Online Dating Independence Day Update
Folks, as mentioned before, I have been participating in some online dating websites. Yep, I have found fraudulent accounts and sketchy people, but I have found some nice ones as well. I’ve been especially impressed by two young women that live in the Philippines. One is a teacher and the other is, well I don’t recall. These ladies put the rest of the bunch on these dating websites to shame. They are not materialist, career-oriented feminists, but really on fire for God and live to tell people about Jesus. They are as beautiful as any of the fashion models that Donald Trump has on his payroll and the best part is that you know they are more beautiful on the inside. Sadly, they are both in their twenties.
As for the rest of the pack, I am corresponding with a few women; only one of whom is in the age bracket that I really want. The others are old. I can’t get my head around the fact that these ladies are grandmothers and are interested in me.
Warning I’m about to get really controversial so stop reading now or promise not to get angry with me. You have been warned.
Ok, so why the warning? I’m not old. I may be turning 64 later this year, but I’m still a kid on the inside. (My friends here in Idaho think I’m in my mid-fifties.) I’m looking hard at women between 35 and about 50 years old. Had my son made better life choices, I would be making different ones now, but it is clear that I will never have any progeny from him. Dude, Ellie freaking Mitchell had a huge crush on you and then you make your stupid life choices, thou fool. My son, you have made the stupidest life choice since Esha sold his birthright to Jacob for a bowl of stew.
I want a proper heir to carry on the family name. There, I said it out loud. I currently have nobody to leave anything to. The thought of all my stuff being reduced to a few neglected boxes that Goodwill or the Salvation Army will reject is not the ending that I hope for. I’d like the family name to continue. To put this in words that you might comprehend, “There is NO other Skywalker.”
I have all the genealogy stuff that my wife accumulated from both sides of her family plus all the good antiques and none of her kids want it. It will eventually find its way to thrift shops or whatever, but what a waste. Nobody wants the fine China, the wedding silver, the tons of photos that I have (currently over 26,000 images and I have much more that needs scanning), her old books, or anything else. The only things the kids seem to have any interest in are the wife’s Hallmark ornaments which I could care less about. Sorry, but Hallmark has never meant Christmas to me.
Anyway, I have been corresponding with this young lady in Brazil. She happens to live in Rio, a place that I have visited twice while in the Navy. She has a two-year-old daughter. I don’t know what will happen, but I am willing to pursue her further. Oh, she is 39. Per Google, if I started paperwork now, by the time I could get her here, she will be about the same age as my last wife when we were wed.
I really like children. I think God put us on the planet to have lots of them, something my wife didn’t let us pursue further. I could argue that her reasons for not having more children were the beginnings of the path that ended with her demise, but I won’t elaborate further in writing. Let’s just say that her decision still has consequences for the living.
My grandfather lived to be 96, and my dad is on track to get close to that age too; so, I figure that I may have three more decades in the tank too. Yes, I know tomorrow is not a certainty, but I at least have some reason to hope for more than the seventy years mentioned in the Bible.
Back to Rio girl. Assuming that she is real and not an AI chatbot which might very well might be the case (see update below), then if we continue on the path that we are seemingly on, I will have her visit in a few months. I think if she visits me for two or three weeks, we can know if we are compatible. My faith is important to me but trying to have deep discussions with someone via text messages whose second language is English is not really fair. Oh, her English seems to be excellent, but still…
So, if it works what’s next? Paperwork, we can’t have a government without lots of paperwork. Then there is the issue of making sure she is cared for if I do shed the mortal coil. Oh, if this does come to fruition, I plan to adopt her daughter as my own, something I could never do with my step kids while their biological dad was still involved in their lives. (Bet they never even thought to ask why that never happened.)
Having a few online friends is helping me be in a better state of mental health. I never have been fond of married people telling me to be happy that I’m single.
I’m also in communication with a nice lady in Oregon. Church wise, we are polar opposites but she is very nice and however things turn out, I’d like to keep her as a friend.
The Other People I’ve Seen Online
On the predominately Reformed Baptist website my general comment is no wonder the people on there are single. The Christian stuff they claim to consume is from the likes of John MacArthur and R.C. Sproul. In other words, they stay within their own bubble of knowledge and know nothing of other views. After consuming “spiritual baby food” for years, they know nothing and think they know it all.
I’m an equal opportunity kind of guy so I will bash both genders separately.
The guys out number the women about eight to one on this website. The vocal ones tend toward rudeness and want to argue theology until the other party submits unconditionally. They think the way to a mate is to find the perfectly completed female profile and then expect the girl will submit to their leadership without the guy having any track record of accomplishing anything. The other issue is that they have no idea what a biblical marriage is all about. A husband’s job is to die daily for his wife, not be waited on hand-and-foot by his personal handmaiden.
Many of the women on there, having secured their careers, and now wish to add a husband to their life in much the same way as a person adds a new pet to the family or pair of shoes to their wardrobe. Generally, they are unwilling to “leave and cleave” and start a new family. Alternately, they have child custody or other reasons and/or baggage not to be with their potential man. They erect unnecessary barriers or have unrealistic expectations such as “I want to homestead and home school my children”. They seem ignorant of the fact that their favorite YouTube personalities that homestead are being paid because they can’t earn enough to make a living homesteading unless they continue to generate extra money from social media by having you watch them. Having seen it up close and personal, homesteading is more of a work commitment than having children.
On the other website that I’m using, there is a persistent group of men that harass new female members. They come across as if asking the girl if she is a slut, if so, please call me on this social media account. It’s the same handful of guys spraying virtual graffiti on each account; like a dog urinating on their mailbox.
Both websites have this in common, there is a lot of ‘deadwood” or stale accounts being hosted on the website. I guess content over quality is the motto. One website has accounts that are older than seven years that are still considered people looking for a mate. One website tells you where they last logged in based on their IP address, which can easily be spoofed, but not when they last logged in. Neither website will allow you to sort by paid members to make it easier to interact with actual humans.
Between the two websites, I have hit “Like” on seventy or more different profiles. Generally, nobody even takes a look at my profile in return. I don’t mean they didn’t reciprocate interest by liking me, but that they never even clicked to see who liked them. To me this is more proof that the women I’m looking at don’t exist or lost interest long ago. I know some accounts are fraudsters, but some are not.
Online dating is not for the faint of heart.
My last comment is that the men in the group, and women too, need to read “The Boniface Option” by Andrew Isker. Our youth are stuck in “Trash World” and happy as pigs in their own excrement thinking this is the “normal” state of things. MacArthur and Sproul are safer choices because they rarely touch us in our everyday lives.
Update: I have had time to process (or ponder) some details of my exchanges with Rio girl and parts of her story have fragments of information that don’t flow. Also, in the process of looking at other women’s profiles, I found that AI, instead of trying to translate a profile into English, analyses it and generates a response based on the text that you give it. Just by cutting and pasting, you get instant responses in languages that you don’t have to know. This would explain her flawless English and obtuse details. Her daughter “is named Rose which is a type of flower”. Ok, what human on the planet doesn’t know what a rose is? A person would know but an Artificial Intelligence would not because it’s just another piece of data to it. Also, can you type on your phone in perfect English? She can and it’s a second language to her. Maybe Rio girl is fool me twice. If I hear from her again, which is debatable, (we ended things with me asking for live video chat), then I intend to talk theology. All I have to do is hit her with some misdirection and see if I get away with it.
