Clear Wax From Candlesticks
The long red tapers you used at last night’s candlelit dinner were a beautiful sight until you saw the candle wax drippings left in the candle holders. Luckily, fixing this issue is one of many Vaseline uses. Next time, apply petroleum jelly to the insides of the holders before you put the candles in. The wax will pop out for easy cleaning.

Lift Lipstick Stains
You set the table at that lovely dinner party with your favorite cloth napkins, but your girlfriends left their mark all over them. Now dotted with lipstick stains, those napkins may be headed for the trash. But try this first. Before you wash them, blot petroleum jelly on the stain. Launder as usual and hopefully you will kiss the stains goodbye.
Remove Chewing Gum From Wood
Did you discover bubble gum stuck under the dining room table or behind the headboard of Junior’s bed? Thanks to these genius Vaseline uses, you can trouble yourself about it no further. Squeeze some petroleum jelly on the offending wad, rub it in until the gum starts to disintegrate, then remove.

Clean Watermarks From Wood
Your most recent party left lots of watermark rings on your wood furniture. To remove water stains from wood, apply petroleum jelly and let it sit overnight. In the morning, wipe the watermark away with the jelly.
Shine Patent-Leather Goods
You’ve got a great pair of patent-leather shoes and a dynamite bag to match. The luster stays longer if you polish the items with petroleum jelly.
Make Leather Jackets Look New Again
You don’t need fancy leather moisturizer to take care of your favorite leather jacket. Petroleum jelly does the job just as well. Apply, rub it in, wipe off the excess, and you’re ready to go.

Stop Battery Terminal Corrosion
It’s no coincidence that your car battery always dies on the coldest winter day. Low temperatures increase electrical resistance and thicken engine oil, making the battery work harder. Corrosion on the battery terminals also increases resistance and might just be the last straw that makes the battery give up. Before winter starts, disconnect the terminals and clean them with a wire brush. Reconnect, then smear with petroleum jelly. The jelly will prevent corrosion and help keep the battery cranking all winter long.

Grease a Baseball Mitt
Got a new baseball mitt, but it’s as stiff as a dugout bench? Soften it up with petroleum jelly. Apply liberal amounts. Work it into the glove, then tie it up with a baseball inside. Do this in the winter, and by the spring you’ll be ready to take the field.
Mask Doorknobs While Painting
You’re about to undertake painting the family room. But do you really want to fiddle with removing all the metal fixtures, including doorknobs? Petroleum jelly rubbed on the metal will prevent paint from sticking. When you’re done painting, just wipe off the jelly and the unwanted paint is gone.

Keep an Outdoor Lightbulb From Sticking
Have you ever unscrewed a lightbulb and found yourself holding the glass while the metal base remains in the socket? It won’t happen again if you remember to apply petroleum jelly to the base of the bulb before screwing it into the fixture. This is an especially good idea for lightbulbs used outdoors.
Stop Squeaking Door Hinges
It’s so annoying when a squeaky door makes an ill-timed noise when you’re trying to keep quiet. Put petroleum jelly on the hinge pins of the door. No more squeaks.

Moisturize Your Lips and More
If you don’t want to pay a lot for expensive lip balm, makeup remover, or even facial moisturizer, then your answer is a tube of petroleum jelly. Some of the best Vaseline uses include soothing lips, plus taking off foundation, eye shadow, mascara, and more. It will even act as a moisturizer on your face.
Remove a Stuck Ring
Wedding ring won’t budge? Trying to get it off can take a lot of tug and pull. Apply some petroleum jelly and it will glide right off.

No More Shampoo Tears
Thinking of buying special no-tears shampoo for your child? Forget about it. If you have some petroleum jelly, you have the solution. Rub a fair amount into your baby’s eyebrows. It acts as a protective shield against shampoo running down into his eyes.

If you work petroleum jelly into cotton balls it makes great fire starters. Keep them in a zip-lock baggie.

“We Appear to Be Entering Stage Five of the Covid “Vaccine” Con Job — I truly pray that I’m completely wrong about all of this. That would be a blessing.”
JD RUCKER
SEP 4, 2023
ENTIRE ARTICLE: “It’s been over three years since the launch of Operation Warp Speed and we’re finally entering the fifth stage of the Covid “vaccine” con job. I made my first predictions about the Covid roadmap and the way it was all going to go down in mid-2021 when we were still in stages two and three. It’s all falling into place as I thought it would with one exception. I anticipated stage 5 would start in early- to mid-2024 just before the GOP had locked in on President Trump as the nominee, but it appears to be starting now.
This penultimate stage on my timeline is where they blame the people who got jabbed for making the “choice,” calling on them to accept responsibility for the rise in adverse reactions and long-term consequences. We’ve seen some grumblings in that direction lately, but the biggest example to date occurred over the weekend when New Zealand Prime Minister Chris Hipkins deflected a question about the vaccine-injured by saying, “…they ultimately made their own choices.”
In other words, it’s your fault for listening to governments. Here’s the video.
https://rumble.com/v3elgdb-new-zealand-pm-on-people-harmed-by-the-jabs-they-ultimately-made-their-own-.html
To be clear, I don’t disagree with the assessment that everyone made a choice. Very few people were physically forced to take the jabs. There were a handful of reports of people getting jabbed without knowing it, but otherwise everyone who got the jabs did so because they decided that their lives would be worse if they didn’t.
Some people got it because they thought they needed to be protected. Others got it because they didn’t want to lose their jobs, schooling, or other elements of their lives that required it. Some did it to be able to travel; I had one friend whose mother didn’t want to take the jabs but she didn’t want to skip her vacation so they wanted to know which of the jabs was least dangerous. In all of these situations, people may have felt they didn’t have much of a choice but they willfully accepted the needle(s) in their arms so they could do certain things in their lives.
They made a choice. I also know people who had to make massive changes in their lives in order to avoid taking the jabs. They had to find new jobs, oftentimes new career paths altogether. One friend left the military less than a year before full retirement.
This fifth stage of the vaccine plan is a subtle shift. For over two years we’ve heard from public officials that people should make the “right” choice and get as many needles stuck into their arms as possible. We’re still hearing that today as Pandemic Panic Theater 2.0 ramps up with expected lockdowns, new variants, and new jabs around the corner. That’s why I was surprised by Hipkins’ comments. It could have been an inadvertent premature play of a future narrative, one that came out since he was getting questioned about the vaccine injured. Or, it could be the soft launch of this next phase.
Before going further, I should list the six stages for reference:
1. Get People Scared: Operation Warp Speed was launched from fear. President Trump thought it was the right thing to do based on his evil advisors and the concerned American people. It was obviously a huge mistake and will come back to haunt him, but it’s done. Those months in 2020 when the jabs were being allegedly developed (I believe they were already in play before we’d ever heard in Covid-19, but that’s for another day) were spent by officials priming the pump, so to speak, so the masses would line up to get their jabs.
2. Promote Vaccines as Safe and Effective: It didn’t take long for the first breakthrough cases to debunk initial claims that the jabs were 100% effective. Within weeks, we started seeing reports of adverse reactions. But the entirety of 2021 and most of 2022 was filled by government officials and healthcare professionals telling us the jabs were safe and effective. They were neither, but they continued to beat the drums of compliance.
3. Demonize the Skeptics: This stage ran concurrently with the previous stage as we were all told about the “pandemic of the unvaccinated.” Doctors chastised us. Celebrities ridiculed us. Corporate media gaslit us. Government official berated us. Even today, with mountains of evidence proving we were right to be skeptical, there is still a stigma upon us.
4. Defend the Inefficacy: Stage four was a clinic in moving the goalposts. First, the jabs were 100% effective. That was debunked quickly and dropped to 99%. Then 95%. Then it kept going down until it was time to shift the justification for the jabs completely. Instead of preventing or even slowing the spread, they started telling us the jabs would reduce hospitalizations and deaths. Today, studies show the jabbed are more susceptible to getting Covid, being hospitalized from it, and dying, so “new” jabs are around the corner.
5. Blame Everyone for Taking Them: Either Prime Minister Hipkins launched this stage over the weekend or he telegraphed a future iteration. Either way, this is a bad omen because it means the powers-that-be believe part of the truth about vaccine injuries will be acknowledged by the people soon. Perhaps the big data collection they’ve been doing from the start tells them that we’re at or near a tipping point of vaccine-danger awareness. Then again, they may be anticipating a flurry of conditions like Myocarditis and deaths spiking to the point that they can no longer be ignored by corporate media and average citizens. If that’s the case, the reminder from officials that nobody was forced to get jabbed against their will is the defense they can use to prevent them from being murdered for their actions, both politically and literally.
6. Blame Trump and Unveil a “Solution”: The next phase is the disastrous one for the nation and the world. I truly hope I’m wrong about this, but if things get as bad as I anticipate they will with masses succumbing to vaccine injuries, then the powers-that-be are prepared to blame Donald Trump for it. Big Pharma will hit every corporate media outlet profusely to say they were rushed to get the jabs out before the 2020 election. They will say the same thing in Senate hearings. I pray that I’m wrong. If I’m right, they will release a “fix” to the vaccine injuries suffered from the original Covid jabs. I believe this “fix” will be the final blow ahead of fully realizing their depopulation and control agenda.
Yes, it’s all very ugly. As much as I prefer only writing about things that we can affect, I’m not sure how any of this is helpful. Those who are jabbed can’t get unjabbed. Those who aren’t jabbed today are very unlikely to get jabbed in the future. The lines in the sand have been drawn and nobody’s crossing them.
In most cases, awareness is an important aspect of fighting the good fight but I’m not sure how awareness of this issue can help. Nevertheless, it’s something that we should all know as the various phases of the vaccine con job fall into place. If I’m wrong, praise God! If I’m not wrong, buckle up and hunker down. We’re in for a very bumpy ride.”

A Texan real estate mogul allegedly made ‘millions of dollars’ by selling vast swathes of local farmland to a Chinese billionaire with close ties to Beijing.
David Frankens, from Lufkin, East Texas, scored the ‘deals of the century’ when flipping the land at around twice its market value to Sun Guangxin, a former captain in the Chinese military, local realtors told DailyMail.com.
The trades have sparked fury among ranchers in Val Verde County, where Sun bought more than 130,000 acres of farmland for an estimated $110million between 2016 and 2018.
A report written by former CIA officials, seen by DailyMail.com, suggested the Chinese billionaire could be considered a national security risk by US authorities due to his extensive links to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

INTERNATIONAL, TORTS, September 3, 2023

“British Court Rules that Competent and Conscious Patient Can Be Denied Life-Sustaining Treatment Against Her Will”
ENTIRE ARTICLE: “In my torts class, I often compare the different approaches and doctrines in the United States and the United Kingdom. One of the most pronounced is the position and authority of physicians on issues like consent and malpractice. This week produced a particularly striking example. British doctors are seeking to take a 19-year-old critically ill female patient off the intensive care despite her objections and those of her parents. Unlike most such cases, the woman known only as “ST” is conscious and communicative. Yet, the doctors argue that she is not being realistic about her chances of survival from a rare disorder. Now a British court has agreed and ordered that she can be placed on end-of-life care against her will.
ST is suffering from a rare genetic mitochondrial disease that is progressively degenerative. The case has similarities to that of Charlie Gard, an infant who was removed from life support at the insistence of doctors despite objections from the parents. The Gard family was seeking to take Charlie to the United States for experimental treatment.
ST has been in the ICU for the past year, requiring a ventilator and a feeding tube. She also requires regular dialysis due to chronic kidney damage from her disease. She wants to be allowed to travel to Canada for an experimental treatment but the doctors oppose the plan and say that she is not accepting the realities of her terminal illness. They say that she is “actively dying” without any hope of resuming life outside of intensive care.
Her deeply religious family have spent their entire life savings on her care and has complained that a “transparency order” requested by the hospital barred their ability to give details on the case to help raise public funds.
What is so remarkable about this case is that it is not an infant or a comatose patient. The court found that ST “is able to communicate reasonably well with her doctors with assistance from her mother and, on occasion, speech therapists.” Moreover, two psychiatrists testified that she is mentally competent to make decisions about her own care.
JUDGE: “Despite all the difficulties which currently confront her, ST is able to communicate reasonably well with her doctors with assistance from her mother and, on occasion, speech therapists. Over the course of the last week she has engaged in two separate capacity assessments. I heard evidence from two consultant psychiatrists whose conclusions in relation to her capacity in both domains are set out in full written reports. . . .
She has been described by those who know and love her as “a fighter”. That is how she sees herself. At the heart of the issues in this case is what ST and her family perceive to be a ray of hope in the form of an experimental nucleoside treatment outside the United Kingdom which might offer her hope of an improved quality of life, albeit a life which is likely to end prematurely in terms of a normal life expectancy. She has told her doctors that she wants to do everything she can to extend her life. She said to Dr. C, one of the psychiatrists who visited her last week, “This is my wish. I want to die trying to live. We have to try everything”. [Court’s emphasis] Whilst she recognises that she may not benefit from further treatment, she is resistant to any attempt to move to a regime of palliative care because she wants to stay alive long enough to be able to travel to Canada or North America where there is at least the prospect that she may be accepted as part of a clinical trial. . . .
ST is well aware that she has been offered a very poor prognosis by her doctors. She acknowledges that they have told her that she will die but she does not believe them. She points to her recovery from previous life-threatening episodes whilst she has been a patient at the intensive care unit. She believes she has the resilience and the strength to stay alive for long enough to undergo treatment abroad and she wishes the court to acknowledge her right to make that decision for herself….”
Nevertheless, the judge found that she is mentally incapable of making decisions for herself because “she does not believe the information she has been given by her doctors.” The court appears to reject her ability to make this decision because she is making the wrong decision:
JUDGE: “In my judgment . . . ST is unable to make a decision for herself in relation to her future medical treatment, including the proposed move to palliative care, because she does not believe the information she has been given by her doctors. Absent that belief, she cannot use or weigh that information as part of the process of making the decision. This is a very different position from the act of making an unwise, but otherwise capacitous, decision. An unwise decision involves the juxtaposition of both an objective overview of the wisdom of a decision to act one way or another and the subjective reasons informing that person’s decision to elect to take a particular course. However unwise, the decision must nevertheless involve that essential understanding of the information and the use, weighing and balancing of the information in order to reach a decision. In ST’s case, an essential element of the process of decision-making is missing because she is unable to use or weigh information which has been shown to be both reliable and true.”
Accordingly, the court ruled that decisions about ST’s further care should be determined by the Court of Protection based on an assessment of her best interests. Her “best interest,” according to the doctors, is to die.
Thus, the courts have declared that ST cannot choose to continue life-extending treatment and can be forced into palliative care against her will. The logic of the decision is chilling. The court is told that ST has cognitive and communicative abilities to make such decisions. However, because the court disagrees with her desire to continue to fight to live, she is treated as effectively incompetent. It seems like the judicial version of Henry Ford’s promise that customers could pick any color car so long as it is black.”

“But I want to state things very clearly: there is no stigmatisation. Every one of our fellow citizens, whatever their religion, has their place in our country,” she said.
“There is one principle: secularism. And there’s a law prohibiting the wearing of any sign or garment by which a student manifests his or her religious affiliation. This law must be applied to everyone, and we’ll make sure that it is properly applied,” said Borne.
President Emmanuel Macron addressed the dress code for the first time after visiting a professional school in the Vaucluse region of southern France.
“We know there will be cases” of students testing the rule, the president said, including ones trying to “defy the republican system”. Macron said they would not be able to slip into class, stressing that “we will be intractable on the subject.”
Ordering how the new measure would be enforced, Macron said “specific personnel” would be sent to “sensitive” schools to help principals and teachers and to initiate dialogue with students and families, if needed.

chinese nationals were probably spying…NO SHIT!!!
Federal investigators believe spying networks are behind the 100-plus attempted entries by Chinese nationals into sensitive U.S. sites in recent years, a report Sunday set out.
The cases are reportedly many and varied, including people crossing into a U.S. missile range in New Mexico — and scuba divers swimming near a rocket launch site and Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the Wall Street Journal said quoting officials familiar with the allegations.
Drones to take detailed aerial footage of sensitive military sites have been seen— while the Pentagon confirmed cases of people “speeding through security checkpoints.”
The report comes after Chinese balloons were seen crossing U.S. territory earlier this year to the embarrassment of the Biden administration.
“I Think They’re Compromised” — Rep. Tim Burchett on Biden Admin’s China Balloon Debacle
Matt Perdie / Breitbart News
A common response by those stopped by officials is a claim to be confused and they often use what appears to be scripted language when confronted by security, the report said.
For example, individuals and groups often claim to be looking for hotels or a Burger King when challenged.
The Defense Department and FBI are among multiple federal agencies which shared a review last year on how to limit the attempts, which officials told the WSJ are viewed as a form of espionage.
Congress might also consider legislation, Rep. Jason Crow (D- Colo.) told the paper, to toughen up how security is handled at the sensitive sites, with trespassing laws currently being state and local, not federal.
Officials are warning about the potential use of giant Chinese-made and operated cranes as spy tools at U.S. ports. https://t.co/3LPn8BQ0Mi
— Breitbart News (@BreitbartNews) March 6, 2023
“We need to work closely with our state and local partners to train them and equip them,” Crow said. “Right now, they don’t know how to deal with it.”
The incidents that occurred in rural areas where there is little tourism typically involved Chinese nationals who were pressed into service and required to report back to the Chinese government, the report added.
“The advantage the Chinese have is they are willing to throw people at [intelligence] collection in large numbers,” said Emily Harding, a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington and a former deputy staff director at the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
In many of these cases, officials told the WSJ, those who have been found trespassing on bases have been briefly detained and then escorted out of the country.
No cases appear to have resulted in espionage charges, the paper said.
Sensors from the first suspected Chinese spy balloon shot down over the U.S. have been recovered from the Atlantic Ocean amongst other “significant debris,” the U.S. military announced late Monday. https://t.co/2gDex6L0qA
— Breitbart News (@BreitbartNews) February 14, 2023
Still, the Chinese embassy in Washington is denying any espionage efforts and responded with equal measures of surprise and indignation at the accusations.
“The relevant claims are purely ill-intentioned fabrications,” spokesperson Liu Pengyu told the WSJ.
“We urge the relevant U.S. officials to abandon the Cold War mentality, stop groundless accusations, and do more things that are conducive to enhancing mutual trust between the two countries and friendship between the two peoples.”
