As of today, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will no longer recommend COVID-19 vaccines for children and healthy pregnant women, U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced this morning.

In a video posted on X, Kennedy was flanked by Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, director of the National Institutes of Health, and Dr. Marty Makary, U.S. Food and Drug Administration commissioner, as he made the announcement.

“I couldn’t be more pleased to announce that as of today, the COVID vaccine for healthy children and healthy pregnant women has been removed from the CDC recommended immunization schedule,” he said.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) made headlines this week after the Daily Mail reported the agency endorsed “chestfeeding” by publishing guidance for trans-identified biological males on how to induce lactation.

According to the CDC’s breastfeeding guidelines, one option for “transgender parents who have had breast surgery” and want to “breastfeed or chestfeed their infants” is to induce lactation with the use of medication.

Inducing lactation requires taking a combination of drugs, including hormonal contraceptive drugs to provide estrogen and progesterone, and an androgen blocker to reproduce the “hormonal milieu” of pregnancy.

Sad news this week, Wilma Gilbert has died.  We owe a tremendous amount to Wilma.  She was a fixture here at the office from our inception until 2012.  She took it upon herself to learn all the stipulations to do with bulk mail, and looked after our mailings you might say religiously.  She became like a grandmother to my Daughter-in-law Melody, and our family went to visit her in Kentucky and have lunch together after she’d moved.  We’d seen her a couple of times when she came here to visit members of her family, and we all went out to eat.  Apparently my Dad irritated her with his messages on radio and TV, so much so that she set out to prove him wrong.  In doing so, she became a member for life.  She died peacefully Wednesday night, and we will forever be in her debt.

Maybe you’ve heard, the UK is in an economic crisis.  Liz Truss barely lasted long enough for us to know her name.  The head of lettuce with the wig outlasted her.  But what’s next?  Apparently she’d made promises that the old guard thought out of place. Cut taxes on the wealthy?  Why, it’s not the English way!

Our Twenty-First Century WATCH magazine with a rare photo at Queen Elizabeth’s coronation on the cover has taken longer than ever at the printer.  Apparently they’re suffering similar maladies imposed on businesses everywhere.  Covid mandates, supply-chain troubles, who knows?  We expected copies to be available for the Feast of Tabernacles, but it wasn’t to be.  

It was promised that a descendant of King David would rule over the throne of Israel in perpetuity, and that Divine promise has been kept.  Queen Elizabeth was an incredible example to us all including the nations that claimed her as their sovereign, Canada, Australia, New Zealand…  A coronation of the UK’s King Charles is coming, and will be a spectacle to behold.  Surely he’ll be less outspoken (and full of it), having learned from his mother’s Royal manners.  The loss of Queen Elizabeth may haunt us more than we expect.  

Two and a half years later, the CDC is still putting out mandates. They call them recommendations.  They’ve decided that Covid shots should be part of the regular regimen for vaccines and should be required for attendance at school.  Several states have “opted out,” paving the way for court cases as far as the eye can see. Now an education has become a political hot potato. Some states are not too happy about the “requirements,” defying the new “rules” almost immediately.  

Why are so many suffering heart trouble, heart attacks and strokes within weeks of being vaccinated? It seems like that might be a question they’d want answered before forging ahead with enforcement and penalties.  

Is it just me, or is starting to seem like the government has turned on the very people they’re sworn to represent?  We’re entering the  months when they realize they have but a short time to implement as many infuriating policies as possible.  It’s no longer politics when a party turns against God and everything His believers stand for.  What in life is not treated as “politics”  by media and some three letter agency?  It seems that the freedom God gave us is under siege for every woke reason imaginable.  Will lost freedom in the United States be the great accomplishment of this generation?  

We suffer mindless nonsense from those who purport to be leaders, and agree with almost nothing they say.  A little kindergarten talk with broad, meaningless gestures should do the trick.  It’s not working!  They’re about to find out how big a hurry they’re in.  

Halloween is upcoming, and I (unfortunately) live in a neighborhood that goes all out for decorations.  Inflatables sprawl deflated in yards during the day, but at night they blow up and light up.  One lady has a life size critter doing something rotten in front of her house.  You can’t even look.  What’s she going to do with that thing when the holiday is over?  I wouldn’t want it in my attic.

The Feast was a huge success at our various locations, and we thank God for the opportunity to enjoy something He commanded as a commemoration of Israel’s forty years in the wilderness.  It’s a reminder that we’re not permanent, yet, merely “tabernacles” (temporary dwellings) on this earth with the hope of Eternal Life in God’s Kingdom.

Weekly Update 

Greetings from Tyler,

It was almost the perfect legal defense.  The CDC has made a big deal of coming out, in the person of Ms. Walenski, and said they didn’t perform up to standards and there’s a shake-up in progress.  That ought to do it.  So, of the lawsuits filed and pending, the CDC has just inoculated themselves.  Mistakes were made, but every effort is being made to piece together some kindergarten talk.  Here and there we find that masks are still being required of school children, and military pilots are banned from training if they refused the “vaccine.”  Who ever heard of a vaccine that would see the recipient come down, maybe twice, with the malady in question?  There are high profile people, like the pretender and his wife who’ve been double vaccinated, double boosted and have had to isolate.  It’s not nearly as bad as it might have been!  Beam me up.

How’s the Ukrainian war going?  Yes it’s still going, and there’s every conceivable prediction as to the conclusion.  Right now concerns are focused on a nuclear power plant that the Russians reportedly occupied last February, and have kept running by forcing Ukrainian workers to keep working.  Word is that Russia might reroute the power produced to it’s own grid.  Does that mean that the Russians didn’t go after solar panels and wind turbines?  Wonder why not.

TV clips are showing Europe’s rivers dried up.  Did this happen overnight?  How did these rivers go from transportation hubs to completely dry?  You can bet we’ll be told it’s man-made climate change.  Maybe you didn’t buy an electric car soon enough?  Officials have already decided that rain is not a solution to the problem.  No, it’s undoubtedly a climate crisis.  And it’s all your fault!

You might have thought we were through with Covid-19.  Not so fast!  Even though the CDC made a huge deal this week about how they’d mishandled the recommendations and were undergoing a huge shake-up, Covid muscles are still being flexed.  So, no matter how cockamamie the rules may have been, they’re still in effect out there and damaging lives.  Those questioning the orthodoxy are still being banned from social networks (hello facebook and Instagram).  Just today RFK Jr.’s organization got banned for something deemed misinformation.  

When the British tried this back in the 1700’s, it didn’t go over so well.  But you’d think the wars were never fought and freedom never established.  The “elite” are using technology to fling people into utter darkness if they depart from the established narrative.  Regardless of how many “followers,” you can’t say something that disputes the party line without getting in trouble, meaning banned from distribution.

It seems every time you turn on the news, you see a drone shot of Mar-a-Lago with police lights reflecting off the walls.  Whatever happened to the 4^th Amendment?  We’ll probably never see the underlying pretense for this reckless action on the part of national “law enforcement.”  There’s all kinds of speculation as to what they may have been after.  All the trial balloons have gone down in flames.  Nuclear secrets, anybody?   Some think that Trump had the goods on agency misbehavior and planned to embarrass the haughty agency in due time.

But the agents had been in Mar-a-Lago only a matter of weeks before, and everything seemed to be proceeding fine.  There’s a letter from the National Archives thanking Trump for his cooperation.    Agents could look EVERYWHERE and take anything.  Even Melania’s wardrobe was fair game.  Some legal experts expect that Trump will be charged with a crime, and that ought to show us wretched right-wingers how things work.

Not that the U. S. doesn’t deserve whatever comes.  We were endowed with certain faculties that were supposed to help us discern.  But you can’t depend on your own discernment any more. We’ll be told what to think, what shots to get, and there better be no backtalk, or else.

It’s starting to look downright totalitarian.  Some have called the raid, The Day America Changed.  We hope not.  Some of us are hoping God will give America another chance.  We’ve definitely been blowing it, government wise, culture wise etc.  Sooner or later it will all work out.  It’s our responsibility to WATCH and warn.

Texas made national, and probably worldwide news this week, going upstream from the mainstream consensus.  There’s weeping and gnashing of teeth over the anti-abortion law.  The radio had to be silenced this morning.  Hearing of the rush to beat enactment of the law, and the “providers’” anguish over their inability to “help everybody” was just too much.  Don’t tell me another word.

The other new law that’s blowing minds is that you can now carry firearms, openly or concealed, without any kind of permit.  It probably put a whole bunch of permit educators out of business, but it is now legal to be armed in Texas, anywhere that firearms are not prohibited.  We’re probably going to start seeing decals declaring every business and restaurant a “gun prohibited zone.”  The proponents of confiscation must be losing their minds.  Oh wait.

They’re all through reasoning with us.  About everything.  We’ll either do as we’re told or face whatever strictures are in store for the irredeemables.  Don’t we understand that this is a time of crisis, and there’s no time for discussion, let alone disagreement?  Global warming, we’re told to believe, is the root cause of nearly everything going wrong.  The people streaming across the border?  Global warming.  Trouble in the Middle East?  You guessed it.  Hurricane IDA?  Yep.  Whatever the crisis, the officials and media and corporations (particularly those that depend on government contracts) are doing their part.  What are you, some kind of “deplorable”?

We’re treated to officials telling us how they’ve managed a successful pullout from Kabul.  They did such a good job, preparing for all contingencies and all. Surely history will praise them.  Then the critics claim that thousands are left behind.  This after thousands have been airlifted to places where… let’s just say it’s not Kabul.  Have you seen what it’s like over there?  How many thousands are we talking about?  No doubt there were some good guys over there, but multiple thousands?  Let’s hope their vetting is as secure as we’re being told.  But when have they told us the truth about anything?

In an unintentional and backhanded way, the Corona business may have contributed to saving the country.  Parents were able to look over the shoulders of their kids and see what they were being “taught.”  As a result school boards all over the country have been getting an earful from outraged parents.  Then Project Veritas posted a video of a Sacramento teacher bragging about turning school kids into communist revolutionaries.  The school board meeting was epic.  The parents are not amused about their children being subjected to this Antifa instructor.

There the board sat fully masked, shuffling papers, operating a computer or cell phone as if they we’re nearly unaware of the thrashing they were receiving.  They said they’d fire the guy, but the parents are pretty sure they knew about this situation for at least a couple of years, and apparently think that there are several others in the system who are operating an indoctrination program on little kids who don’t know any better.  When asked, “How do you do it?” the teacher in line for firing responded, “I scare the ____ out of them.”  It was on video, and the parents didn’t much like it.

The CDC has a new study showing that TWICE as many as they thought have the antibodies indicating they’ve already been subjected to the sensational virus and have natural immunity.  That kind of screws up their whole argument, doesn’t it?  It means the mortality rate is only half what they said it was.  We’re wondering whether these folks get any consideration when it comes to vaccine mandates?  No? They too have to produce authentic paperwork in order to access what they want?  We almost forgot.  No exceptions.  Nothing has to make sense, you just do what you’re told and everything will be fine. The media is still doing its part to try to scare the be-jabbers out of anybody who’s not entrenched.  There’s more corona virus than ever!  Hospitals are turning away patients.  Run screaming into the night!

So there’s no treatment?  Have you seen the media recommending any treatments?  It’s as if there aren’t any.  Trump recommended treatments.  They were banned almost immediately.  If he recommended it, it’ll probably kill you.  His bout of the virus lasted only a couple of days, and he was back to full strength despite being in the “high risk” category.  The media would have you believe there is no treatment.  Just stay home and hope it’s not too bad.  Even if you’ve had your shot, they’ve still got mask mandates. There’ll be boosters and other necessary shots in the future, they’ll let you know.

But the mandates apply to those who’ve had the shot and got their papers and everything.  That’s OK.  Just wear your mask regardless and follow all instructions whether it makes any sense to you or not.  The government will consider the science and tell you what to do.  It’s a bit much to trust people who think they’re the highest form of intelligence in the universe.  Maybe if they had just a hint of humility.  Acknowledge the Creator, for a start.  Would that be too much to ask?

Mark

PS:  We’ve made progress on another edition of 21^st Century WATCH, and expect to have it finished before we go to the Feast of Tabernacles.  Many thanks to all.
