I’ve visited New York half a dozen times, and listening to you recount your experiences there makes me feel like I’m there for a few minutes every week. Much appreciated.

You mean like the "patriots" who, at rumpT's incitement, stormed the Capitol on 1-6? Notice you didn't bring that up, either, but this is rather pointless, talking to you cultists is like addressing a wall.

"no need to leave your room...but I dread isolation..." this is our life...

They are also handy for getting cash in foreign countries. You just need to let your bank know ahead of time where you will be using their card and ask which banks to go to at your destination.

Gee, Mike, i think you're deliberately misrepresenting and whitewashing things! Notice you don't mention the con's response ( such as it was) to the pandemic

Could write a book on the Plandemic. Fortunately others such as Dr. Robert Malone, Dr. Peter McCullough, JFK jr and MANY other patriots have that covered.

I appreciate your voice and respect your pov. And I am so grateful to patriots who have exposed and stood up to administrative state censorship to protect our individual freedom to use our voice.

Shalom, sir.

I hope you're not referring to me as a 'patriot.' As for your "shalom," i appreciate the sentiment, but in the words of Peter Tosh, "I don't want no peace; I want equal rights and justice."

Oh right, the “con man”… whose administration gave us energy abundance to the extent that we exported it, and I paid under two dollars for a gallon of gas…

and less for my monthly electricity and natural gas.

And there was the “con” of 1-1 1/2 percent annual inflation. The price of eggs actually went down, as did avocados, milk… clothing cost half of what I pay now… The list goes on.

The apprehensions and getaways at our southern border per its illegal incursions were spectacularly less. The former practice of “catch and release“ was changed by the “con man“ to “detain and return”.

The demolition of Isis must certainly have been a “con” as was the “quiet” we heard from Russia, Iran, North Korea and areas about our beloved Israel. John Kerry said there would NEVER be an agreement between Israel and the Arabs without the inclusion of the Palestinians. Yep, the Abraham Accords was a “con” too.

Oh! And my 2018 tax return… seems the standard deduction DOUBLED for me and my wife. Guess more of our hard earned money that we got to keep was a “con” as well.

The “con” of achieving fair and reciprocal trade with China… The media said it would start a trade war. 😂 Nope.

The baby killing industry… at its center is the misnamed Margaret Sanger legacy, Planned Parenthood which receives 80% of its revenue from the unspeakable act.

But the “con man” DEFUNDED them and rolled back the Mexico City policy, which ended the provision of U.S. tax dollars supporting abortion providers and practices internationally.

Since 2017, criteria air pollutant emissions have fallen 7 percent, making air quality the best it’s been since modern record keeping began. Yet another “con”.

These are the proverbial tip of the iceberg of his “cons”.

Why would would I wanna go back to that?

Mike don’t even try. Their minds are corrupted by TDS. Facts are a concept that they are incapable of understanding.

Well telling lies over and over again doesn’t make it true. Mr John repeats all of the lies told by those afflicted with TDS as if by repeating the lie again he can make it fact. This is the tactic of the communist governments and all tyrants throughout the course of human history.

Yes, repetition ad nauseam; a garden variety propaganda strategy.

I’ll pick one of John’s points:

J6

There was NO charge or conviction of “Insurrection” of Trump or anyone else.

There was an egregious misapplication of federal statute by the prosecution, which SCOTUS clearly recognized as their ruling shows.

Shalom.

Good afternoon, Garrison: Both Betty and I at 83 have never used a cash machine yet we have plenty of cash on hand. We are still doing business in a very small way and cash comes and goes in needed amounts, nothing large mind you. We have people around us at times spouting doom and gloom at the first moment of meeting, either the wind of Nebraska or the dust caused by the wind. Lucky, the politics voiced is general honest, which we feel is rare. "Good day". RR

Yes, we did do that once already. It was a disaster. But when people can look up what they can't remember, they go down their own private rabbit holes. Or private Idahoes. I forget. Where trolls are lying in wait. Or waiting to lie.

i love his flip style. I could probably be more articulate if I wasn't sick.

Always always good to hear you. I even sent this one onto my kids who are in their 40s and used to make fun of me listening to you on Saturday nights, but I think they can relate to your message today.

We are in a restaurant close to Queens Hall in Edinburgh and will be seeing you there soon! Tell the disgruntled people that life is a gift…one day they may see it 😉
