Seriously? Now they want dental hygienists sticking HPV vaccines into 9-year-olds during a teeth cleaning?
West Virginia is pushing a proposal to let dentists and hygienists inject kids with the HPV shot while they’re already in the chair. Because apparently a routine dental visit isn’t enough — they need to turn it into a drive-by jab.
Parents get told it’s “more accessible.” What they don’t get is real answers, proper informed consent, or time to ask why a vaccine for a sexually transmitted virus is being pushed on preteens in a dental office.
Children deserve age-appropriate explanations. Parents deserve transparency. And expanding who can inject them should come with more than a training certificate and a sales pitch.

Fraud is so obvious in America. It's on every level, from Congressmen who magically have 7 mansions on a government salary, to Somalians driving around in sports cars. Who is at fault here? Well, obviously it's the IRS. If I did any of this bullshit, the IRS would be on my ass.

One summer I brought up my parents moving in with us and it turned into a heated argument.
I was trying to get my mom to make a plan for potential illness or injury. I asked, “what’s the plan if you fall and break your hip?” She said that wasn’t going to happen, asked why I was picking a fight and was in no way going to consider leaving the home and community they had lived in for 40+ years.
I kid you not 2 months later I got a phone call. My mom had fallen and broke her hip.
My dad needed full time care due to his cancer recovery.
Same day I hoped on a plane and flew across the country to deal with it. This was the 4th time I had to drop everything and fly out for an emergency in 2 years.
When my mom was discharged I sat down with my parents and said, “Your decisions are making me choose between you and my children. You have lived wonderful full lives, they have not. They need their mom with them. The next time I hop on a plane in an emergency to take care of you two, it’s to bring you back with me. If you want to stay here, then you’re going into a full time care facility. Expecting that your children to take care of you at the expense of your grandchildren because you don’t want to leave San Diego at the age of 80 isn’t right.”
They hadn’t thought of it that way. They were apologetic, and much more open to discussing the home they’d move into if they didn’t move in with me.
I’m sharing because recently I’ve seen many posts from others in similar situations, and thought maybe this line of conversation may help.
They don’t mind making their own kids lives harder but hurting their grandkids? That they care about.

A few warm fatherly tears shed today by an empty fort in the woods, so lovingly built, and so lately left, by a growing child with (quite rightly) more grown up things to do. I wish I could find her in there peeking out again, just a little smaller.
Too fast; it is all too fast.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT 🚨 American Medical Doctor in Chicago is blowing the whistle on a new practice that’s taking place
It’s called “close your eyes and immunize.” He says it’s becoming very common to vaccinate children when they go under anesthesia WITHOUT PARENT CONSENT often times because the parents are signing to do what’s best for the child under anesthesia, but doctors are now including vaccinations as necessary
Again, you take your child in for a surgery, sign the paper saying to do what’s best for your child, the hospitals are now using that consent to vaccinate your kids without your knowledge. Including with the COVID vaccine
“I'm a family doctor who practices in the suburbs and the city of Chicago. I wanted to offer some practical advice tonight to those of you who, like me, might be angry and very concerned about the news reports detailing the rise of what one hospital is calling, close your eyes, we'll immunize. This is a growing practice, perhaps pioneered at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, but something that's been around longer than the powers that be would like us to know, where children are undergoing elective and emergency medical surgeries and being immunized while they're away from their parents in the operating room”
“Parents have often given consent unknowingly or under duress for these vaccinations to be performed. And one of the things that's clear from the reports is that informed consent, which should be one of the hallmarks of medical ethics and practice today, is rarely being provided to the extent that it should be”
“Flu shot seems to be the most popular thing to administer, but RSV, COVID, and some other things are now being administered without the parents knowing while their child is in the hospital. So imagine you take your child to the hospital because they have terrible belly pain. Turns out they have appendicitis and any of appendix taken out. You sign a form saying that the surgeon and the medical team can do whatever they think is necessary to help your child. You didn't know your child's getting a flu shot 15 minutes later before the first incision is made”
Okay this is CRIMINAL in my opinion so I did my own research and found out what states this is happening in,
Pennsylvania at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia . Official “Close Your Eyes, We’ll Immunize” program running since 2023. It gave 2,054 influenza vaccine doses in the 2025–2026 season to children already under sedation anesthesia
Colorado at Children’s Hospital Colorado. Offers influenza vaccine under general anesthesia to eligible patients since 2020. More than 18,000 patients have received it. Additional vaccines are sometimes given at the request of a primary care clinician
Illinois at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago and its ambulatory surgery centers. Offers flu shots under anesthesia for eligible patients age 6 months and older during scheduled surgeries and procedures
California at Kaiser Permanente Santa Clara Medical Center in Northern California. First KP facility in the region to offer flu shots to pediatric surgical patients ages 6 months–18 while under anesthesia for planned procedures

Alice Cooper could have been a king, but he saw that our culture crucifies them, so he chose to be a prince. Can’t really blame him.

Everyone must read this novel. As soon as possible, ideally.
We're about to read it in our book club. The opening lines have never felt more relevant:
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us..."
The news cycle is an endless procession of doom. There are a thousand reasons to despair. It feels as though our time is uniquely chaotic, that an old order is collapsing and what lies ahead is beyond control. But we have been here before.
Dickens takes us into the hysteria of the French Revolution and a society utterly consumed by vengeance. But he also shows how an act of self-sacrificial love can redeem it. Indeed, "Death may beget life".
You must live now by refusing to be part of the cycle of decay. The counter to the mob is YOU, and the redemption of your own life. You are called to discover life even in the midst of terrible evil and death. The darkest times are the setting for the greatest acts of love.
This is one of the most powerful novels ever written. Please join our group and read it with us.
Our first discussion on A Tale of Two Cities is on November 4.

First, I don’t owe you anything. I don’t learn things for you, I learn things for my own edification and for my family. I’ve already mentioned
1) that the nasal spray is live flu. So your whole theory is wrong
2) Canada, Japan, India, and the UK and the EU, etc. use live virus, viruses do not respect borders, so- again, your whole theory is wrong.
3) even attenuated and recombinant vaccines can cause and encourage the proliferation of the flu through something called antibody dependent enhancement, so again, from at least three directions, your whole theory is wrong.
I’ve already explained this. Please calm down, and realize I’m not your enemy, this isn’t a scam.
Why is your guard up? Probably because the pharmaceutical companies and Drs spend Billions of dollars annually to program people to be afraid of diseases that are not scary, and to normalize shots and therapies that are ineffective and quite hazardous. They make billions of dollars doing this. They are by the way, the most fined by instance and most fined by total industry in history, they lie more than any other industry. These are evil people and criminals who have been responsible for some of the largest mass murders of the last decades. From the abject lies and deaths associated with Vioxx (almost 100,000 dead from straight up lying) Baycol (over 100,000) to opioids to fentanyl through Thalidomide and yes, negative efficacy gene therapies larping as ‘vaccines’ . I’m sorry, the entire tranche of industry is zero confidence.
You do you. Inject whatever you want. I don’t care.

Once a child is under anesthesia, what’s actually stopping someone from giving them something the parents never agreed to❓
Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia is running a program called “Close Your Eyes, We’ll Immunize.”
Since 2023, CHOP has been offering parents the chance to have their child vaccinated against the flu while the child is already under sedation or anesthesia for another procedure. Staff raise it on the day of surgery. If the parents consent, the vaccine is given while the child is knocked out.
In the 2025–2026 flu season alone they delivered over 2,000 doses this way. Roughly a third of those children, they say, wouldn’t have received the flu shot otherwise because of needle fear, limited access, or vaccine hesitancy. The hospital has reported generating over $60,000 from the program in one season and has discussed expanding it to include COVID-19, RSV, and other catch-up vaccines.
Other children’s hospitals, including in Colorado, North Carolina, Seattle, Ohio, and Chicago, have run or piloted similar programs.
Anesthesiologists have called it “stunningly irresponsible.” Adding a vaccine under anesthesia introduces another potential source of fever, rash, or allergic reaction at a time when the medical team is already managing potent drugs. If something goes wrong, it becomes harder to know whether it was the anesthetic, the antibiotic, or the vaccine.
Pediatricians have also questioned whether stressed parents on the day of surgery can truly give properly informed consent.
The program exists. It’s on CHOP’s own website. And they’re proud of it.

According to Tolkien, death is not a punishment, but a remarkable gift — why?
In The Silmarillion, he writes that death is 'Ilúvatar's gift' to humanity. Thanks to death, Men are not bound forever to the created world, unlike the immortal Elves, who, even after dying, are reembodied.
The Elves, bound to Middle-earth until its end, envy this gift.
Yet, as the nature of death has been obscured by the enemy, men begin to fear precisely that gift which frees them from the bonds of this world and places them even higher than the Elves.
To be sure, the desire for immortality is legitimate, but it becomes destructive when man attempts to attain through worldly power that which can only be received in a transcendent manner.
Many of our elites today seek to transcend human nature by extending their lives indefinitely. They treat death as the ultimate evil, and indefinite life as the ultimate good. In so doing, they lose sight of what life is really for.
A man who refuses to die for anything will one day find he has nothing worth living for. A world that fears death above all else will never reach the highest good, for life truly begins when you discover a love greater than life itself. The humility of mortal man leads to a glory far greater than earthly immortality, for man was made for something greater than unending earthly pleasure.
To Tolkien, immortality in a fallen world is no blessing. To live forever in a world marred by vice and decay is to be trapped with no escape. Thus, death is not a tragic ending but a release — a return of Creation to its Creator.
Death is preparation for eternity.
