Upper NW corner booth of the tavern just inventoried the various experimental ingredients purchased in the interest of science and in case I need or want to brew something. Non-compliance and a side of subversion, mocking and merriment, please and thank you.

[Betsy.Ross]

There you go.

[dakota.ray]

I second that emotion. Cheers!

[Betsy.Ross]

lol KY has and still is loaded with stills, not to mention we have always been constitutional carry. We’re all Appalachiastan. That’s not going to fly.

And our tax dollars pays this dweeb’s salary. We need to bring back tarring and feathering.

Here here, a toast is in order! Everyone raise a glass of bourbon, “for duty and humanity!”

So I’m coming late yo this party but… an alcohol czar… an ALCOHOL CZAR? Since when do we guidance on such matters! I mean first they’re toying with the topic of UFOs now they’re want to make edicts regarding our alcohol consumption? How are we supposed to see their stupid UFOs on 2 beers a week? Yes… THIS MEANS WAR!!! My first action? Heading down to the beer vault to crack open a bottle of stout!

I appreciate your response, Carrie. As an aside, one stout fan to another, my grandmother grew up in Baltimore around the turn of the last century. She told me that in those days, after giving birth, the mother was given a pint of stout (this was in the hospital!!!). The hops in the stout helped her milk flow, and, being that beer in that day wasn’t filtered and processed to death, it contained some of the yeast from fermentation. It was loaded with B vitamins, and its administration to the new mother was designed to help replace some of what was lost in the birthing process. When I lived in Philadelphia, there was an old sign in my favorite Irish pub, showing a muscular little guy carrying a steel I-beam on his shoulder. The text above read, “Guinness For Strength!” Yeah, go tell an Irishman he can only have two pints of Guinness per week. Two pints of Guinness is just a warm up for an Imperial Stout!

In a recent trip to Chicago I picked up wife a souvenir t-shirt, a glass of wine and Come and Take it. The minions of administrators in health, epa, etc. are chock full of money to usher in compliance regulations. The need to object within our states and counties has never been more clear.

[Dana Acker]

So, the lesson here, is President Biden winks at his son’s use of Crack, and ignores the Fentanyl pouring across our southern border, but you can’t have more than two beers a week? And he creates a tax paid governmental position to regulate alcohol consumption? God is going to destroy America for just being stupid.

[Carrie-in-Chicago]

Hey Dana! Funny you mentioned stout after childbirth… exactly what my pal Marina Chekmareva and my husband orchestrated… I remember being there in bed cradling Carl in my left arm, surrounded by many lab members and friends, raising a glass of stout in my right and toasting this new life and adventure. Ahhh when hospitals were somewhat interesting in healing…

In Guadalajara, Mexico I once visited a doctor’s office, and in the waiting room there was a big tub of beer on ice. Upon entering, the receptionist invited me to have a beer. When I got to speak to the doctor, I asked him why he had free beer in his waiting room. He said that patients are generally nervous when they come in, and are reluctant to tell him what’s really wrong with them. A couple of beers loosens them up, and makes them more willing to talk, thus making their diagnosis easier to determine. Hey AMA, you trolling this page? Take note!

I imagine the new Office of firearms restrictions run by Camala will soon bring in more health recommendations.

It’s just a matter of time when questionnaires given out by doctors for first visits or routine checkups will include questions about firearms in the home, along with questions about alcohol, tobacco, and recreational drug use. And, now that insurance companies control medical practices, and our medical records are digitized, who all will have access to that information? We know that aside from the doctors, insurance companies absolutely have access. How about law enforcement? If a 15 year old kid in their parent’s basement can hack into the Department of Defense computer on their laptop, who else might be able to gain access? When you go in for a checkup, and they give you a clipboard with a questionnaire, weigh very carefully how you answer the questions. Doctor-patient confidentiality is a thing of the past. Don’t be fooled into thinking otherwise.

[Betsy.Ross]

I saw new Dr. at beginning of year. I got the paperwork ahead of time. I completed the info I felt was necessary. The rest I left blank. I drew lines through and noted “I do not consent” to portions. They accepted it without question, but I found a reasonable doctor. Point being, you don’t have to answer. If they refuse treatment, you are at the wrong doctor. Keep looking.

[Carrie-in-Chicago]

Yep. I absolutely love my endodontist. Last time I went in for a cleaning had to fill out an update sheet. I left several things blank for the reasons you mentioned. Also when I went to urgent care I did a quick test left several things blank no problem… because I have a hyphenated last name computer’s have a hard time finding me anyway… Though, if I pay cash I guess I could use s fake name, numbers, etc. will keep that in mind for the future…

[Dana Acker]

I think the old “ask for forgiveness rather than permission” principle might apply here. Just answer no to everything on the questionnaire, and if you get caught, feign senility. It’s pretty bad when you have to plead the 5th Amendment at your doctor’s office.

[StopKiryasJoels]

Think if upcoming WHO treaty is enacted all health records go to WHO. It is good to have aliases-great point if you can’t screw confuse them.

[Carrie-in-Chicago]

Funny… I don’t even have to feign senility anymore… I have a constant look of confusion so if I just keep my trap shit U am good to go… and therein lies my challenge…. Keeping my trap shut🤪

[Mischief]

Hi All! I took a sabbatical from stressful thoughts for a while, and actually my internet was crap lately, and Paine couldn’t stay running. I’m blown away from not only what I am seeing on here, but what I’m reading about the goings on in EU. Truth is, I don’t know if there is anything we can do to stop what is coming our way. Our time here is a gift and precious. I have taken a lot of this down time to catch up with old friends, revel in the peace and quiet and appreciate the gift of life that we have. I needed it desperately! I am trying to keep myself focused on the fact that we are not in charge, our higher power that creates this world is. I guess my take away is they are fucking with us. Keep messing with people, keep the restrictions coming, and eventually we will be forced to comply like EU. We as a nation need to stand up and demand the representation that we asked for, but they’ve cut the Constitution with so damn many loopholes, that we can’t ever get what we asked for initially. All our wars are either done digitally or via drone. We are screwed. If anyone has a PLAN B, I’m ready to unite with anyone with a sound solution. From what I’ve read lately, they are coming for our homes, forcing people into their 15 minute cities, limiting the outfits to 3 per year that you can buy? how does that work when a baby outgrows them in under 6 months? A Tee-pee is sounding better all the time. My idea of a mobile city!

[Carrie-in-Chicago]

He There! Good Morning! It’s a bright sunny morning here in Crete, IL. Taking a break is, I believe, crucial. Sometimes by walking AWAY FROM SOMETHING (e.g. the news) and sometimes by walking TOWARD OR INTO SOMETHING (a novel, a philosophy, a new way of looking at things). In my view it is the latter that gives us a true opportunity over our adversaries. Investing time and effort into building a strong psychic firewall is a first step. When I waver I take time to stop and think…REALLY THINK about the fact that I withstood a massive campaign to make me a soulless, powerless, rat in a massive scheme backed by BIG PHARMA-MEDICAL-SOCIAL-EDUCATIONAL-MILITARY-GOVERMENTAL-RELIGIOUS-… pretty much EVERY FACET of my (the world’s) society AGAINST ME. They had every advantage but one…. My right to refuse. To me their irrational proclamations, screams, threats, etc. indicate their exasperation. So to me, the best place for me to put my efforts is into strengthening the thing that got me through the most vicious attack humanity has suffered (to my knowledge). HOW? Well that’s a good question. I’m doing the best I can to figure out how to shore up myself, my immediate family, and to whatever extent I can, folks in this amazing community. Each of us has something to contribute… but all of it to me feeds into our ability to create our reality and to REFUSE the bullshit reality this bastards attempt to force upon us. Live as if you have already won… your greatest powers sre your refusal and ability to create. I hope that helps. I apologize for the many typographical errors that are peppered throughout my ramblings.
