My mother, savaged for years by dementia, would be categorized as old and useless by political elites like Gov. Andrew Cuomo, and would likely be dead if she lived in New York. But they don’t know what she did in a failing passenger plane over the frigid north Atlantic…and it shouldn’t matter.

Another superb video. It was all tied together so well, and the ending provided the “bow” for the package. It had drama, power, and good sense. Thank you.
A salute to the heroes who act on their belief that just because some sociopathic official dictates immorality that doesn’t compel him or her to carry it out. If a fluke of geography dictates who lives and who dies, that means we’ve failed at our job of hiring our local public servants we entrust with our lives:
“Rensselaer [NY] County Executive Steve McLaughlin owns and operates Van Rensselaer Manor nursing home. . . McLaughlin defied the governor’s directive in the spring and did not accept COVID-19 positive patients at their county-operated nursing home, and they required negative tests before admission.
‘We outfitted staff with N95 masks, something the state has still failed to do and did not allow our nursing home staff to work at other nursing homes to help stop the spread.'” https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/janice-dean-andrew-cuomo-covid-19-american-crisis
My brother has been in a care facility for a year, and this how long it has been since I have had any physical contact with him. In that time he has gone from physical issues that required special care, to a rapid onset of dementia at age 69. I believe his being locked down without contact with family brought this on, and so do those caring for him. I had surgery about five years back that kept me in the hospital for two weeks, and it took me to a place of darkness being kept stuck in a bed in the same room. I can fully understand the depression of those stuck in a facility with no contact with the outside world and those who love them. The bastards who set these restrictions I hope rot in hell.
Beautiful and heartfelt, Bill.
So… if we find a few living cells on Mars, it will be one of the, if not the, most amazing discoveries ever made by human beings. Yet, we allow a human newborn to die on the table from a botched abortion, and we will allow the governor of a state to cause the preventable death of 10,000 human lives.
I just can’t process what is happening to my country.
Yes, the hypocrisy and dichotomy of the left “We Value ALL Human Life” *
*As long as it is not too old, in its mother’s womb, or votes Republican. YMMV
Bill – it has been many years that I have been watching your videos (Trifecta, Afterburner, Firewall, TSL, etc) I bet I have heard you tell that story about your mom at least 1/2 dozen times. You have never it told it better.
Though I lost my mom just over a year ago I was fortunate enough to be there when she slipped the bonds. Her greatest fear was not be aware of who people are. I can’t imagine what you have gone through with your mom, but the memories of her that you share with us keep her real, to you and to us. God bless!
Gov. Cuomo is the most despicable person who ever lived in my experience! I was watching when he talked about sending those patients to the nursing homes and he said he was following CDC guidelines. I knew that couldn’t be right so I checked the CDC directive for myself. It stated Covid positive patients could go back to the nursing home they came from IF THAT NURSING HOME HAD QUARANTINE FACILITIES to take them! Cuomo conveniently ignored that part of the directive and nobody questioned it!
The Javitts Center was set up with 2000 beds for this purpose and the most patients they ever had at any one time was 62! The Navy hospital ship was there to take normally sick patients from the hospitals to free up beds for Covid patients and never had to take any! This man killed those people just as if he had put a gun to their heads. This man needs to be executed!
Many people have viewed me as weird during my life because somehow I could put together stuff that was going on “behind the scenes”. Sorta like a “gut feeling” that was spot on.
I find it strange this rona affects mostly elderly and those with co-morbidities & that the vax priority is the elderly. Am I the only one?
Old and/or useless.
I find it appalling people are forbidden to see their very sick/dying relatives in hospital or hospice. They are dying alone without loved ones around them. Their funerals are masked & social distanced. No need for grieving or compassion.
The elderly are the most adversely affected, so why give them the vax first if that vax is “rushed” by historical standards and “produces” said rona immune response?
A government that wants socialism, only wants “servants” who are able to contribute taxes to their coffers. Those who can work, and those who will soon be able to work for generations.
The hospitals decided/were mandated to classify the rona as the cause of death for people who died of other illness/accident who tested positive with unreliable tests (remember the fruit and goat story from Africa ?).
The hospitals received funds for rona patient “care” and using respirators. How do you think they stayed in business without being able to do their normal elective surgeries, outpatient clinics, etc.?
How to get the most funds possible? More rona patients, more use of expensive drugs vs. inexpensive, time proven ones. More use of respirators.
Their own, once renowned, associations directed them and published untrue “opinion” pieces in “medical journals”. These org’s & hospitals silenced any doctor or nurse speaking out against the protocols by firing them or threatening/revoking their license to practice.
So the majority of medical staff went along with it. After all, they were just doing their jobs, right? They have mouths to feed and a mortgage to pay. They did not stand up either. Understandable in the early days of the “pandemic”, but what about after 2 months, 6 months, now nearly a year?
So much for the Hippocratic Oath (Do No Harm). Do they even take that oath anymore?
I hear the vax is mandatory for all military. How refreshing. First they watered down the fitness standards, filled the ranks with “woke” policies and people, reduced the # of our forces (thank you OBAMA). Now they get the “jab”.
20 years from now they’ll have to admit adverse affects from the vax and simply include it in the standards for determining VA disability. Much like they did for Agent Orange in Vietnam, DDT in the 50’s & 60’s, and Burn Pits during Iraq, Afghanistan. But veterans and their service organizations (DAV, VFW, etc.) will have to fight for years to get it included.
Veterans will return home after so many years, sick and disabled. They will fight for months or years for VA compensation. Then they’ll get a check monthly. Thank you for your service, here’s $350 a month and substandard medical care for life. Or maybe $3K-$4K a month because you can no longer walk, talk, think clearly, etc.
They’ve been using our military to strong arm and as “test subjects” for ages. Look it up if you disbelieve.
We’re just now seeing the culmination of decades of concerted efforts to bring this country to its knees.
I tell people the problem in endemic. It’s at every level of our society.
Know that I do not make these statements based on YT videos or the latest “conspiracy” news flash.
Sorry for the rant, but I want people to know what their government is like. It’s been bad for decades.
I served in the military almost 12 years. I fought for years for my VA disability after being “jacked up” in the service of my country. I worked with agencies who helped veterans find jobs, apply for disability, get drug/alcohol treatment, find housing, get into training programs, and more.
I worked at a VA Medical Center and saw the treatment of veterans and the attitude of staff. Not all VA health care is bad. But they NEVER get enough funding to help all the veterans that need care. If you’re lucky, you live where there’s a good one. I’ve been to several and the difference is vast.
There are some good federal employees that work for VA, but it’s mostly staff who do as little as they can and can’t be fired unless they commit a major crime. I tried to improve things when I worked for them and was told by a longtime employee, “You’ll either conform or resign.” I ended up resigning.
Anyone remember all those members of Congress sharing a photo-op before the “war” started in Iraq (Operation Iraqi Freedom-OIF) saying they would take care of the military called to duty in the Persian Gulf area?
Remember the press suppressing the photos taken of hundreds of flag draped caskets returning to Dover AFB, DE (Mortuary Services) from the battlefields?
People have such short memories these days and learn very little history in school.
I once read a book titled “Behold, A Pale Horse” written by a Naval Intelligence veteran. If you doubt my accounts, peruse that book.
Most people truly do not even fathom the trouble we are in as a country and people.
JMHO
Blessings to all.
A perfectly engineered virus for a society requiring group think and centralized direction of all action. Prunes the tree of the Commisariat of all the dread branches.
Agreed, this virus was designed to remove the weak and non-productive parts of the society. Most directly the elderly, as they are considered no longer useful tax paying, producing, consuming parts of the society. The poor “work horse” from Animal Farm was retired to the pasture…….
This one brought me to tears. Your beautiful mother raised her son into a fine man. That stupid Emmy is nothing but a fatuous bauble, rendered meaningless by its presentation to Cuomo because it is so obscenely underserved. Your mother, and all those who have lived to an advanced age, or state of helplessness, deserve to live with dignity in comfort and safety until taken into the loving embrace of Jesus. Ron de Santis understands that.
Your mother’s story is fascinating & inspiring. Thank you for sharing it.
As a former flight attendant wannabe myself — I applied unsuccessfully to Pan Am, thinking of it as a foot in the door of the airline industry — I found your description of the cooperation between the two competing flag carriers quite moving. How different the industry is now. It’s also interesting to learn that there were doubts about the ability of women to handle the stresses of the job back then. That had changed quite a bit in the 60s and early 70s, when men were literally shut out of the inflight service jobs. Even when the job title had been changed to flight attendant there was still the perception that men weren’t welcome or even suited to the job, as I quickly learned.
God bless your mother and thanks for her service to the airline industry!
Don’t forget the nasty male telephone operators! The industry learned quickly women can do the job much better.
I was a Pam Am Stewardess and Purser for 15 years. I can tell you, that good will Bill talks about was what Pan Am was made from and spread around the world. I was devastated when it closed its doors. I am still in contact with so many former Pam Am people…pilots and ‘flight attendants.” We cherish the fact we were able to be a part of the glory days of air travel. Bill, your mom was part of that, as well. I am sending this to my former flight buddies.
I absolutely loved the story you told about your mom. What a tribute to her. I found myself crying. This should go viral. If only Cuomo could see it. He has a mom.
Just beautiful. Honoring our elderly loved ones in a very profound way. I am SO glad I’m on the right side of this mess.
Soldiers will take significant risks to bring everyone home including the dead. There’s no rational reason to do so. A corpse is useless to an army and taking more losses on its behalf is counterproductive. But if you are going to ask a man to give the last full measure of devotion then you must offer him the same dedication. What loyalty could the likes of Cuomo expect from anyone when they know they will be disposed of when they cease to be economically viable?
Your mother deserves a parade in her honor.
one of the best videos you have ever made.
kudos to you and your mom… and thank you for such a powerful statement about the value of human life… which is too often disregarded… and most shockingly by healthcare providers like those in the UK and their DNR orders for mentally challenged patients… thank heavens she is in Florida…
I had a patient come in today who is originally from New York. He stated that, all things considered, he thinks Como has done a pretty good job. I couldn’t help it, I said, “Except for the 12,000 people he killed, huh.” He had the grace to laugh.
I am thankful that my parents don’t have to experience New York State under Andrew Cuomo. Their last few years were difficult enough as they were. And that is one of the reasons that I put much of my own life on hold in order to be their almost-full-time caregiver. Even 20 years ago, nursing homes were miserable places. I couldn’t have put them in one of those places.
The same for my mother who was afflicted for years with the same diseases as Bill’s mother.
Nursing homes are abysmal.
Just one of the reasons I hope I go quickly.
Thank you for speaking up for those who were left to die in NY.
It’s time to start going through teh feeds of all of the “journalists” who spent last year ignoring the evidence we Normals were shouting from the rooftops and call them out
I love that. We “normals”. It says it perfectly
As much as I’d love to take credit, Kurt Schlichter coined that phrase. However, I take it one step further. In my vocabulary, I never refer to us as Conservatives – Normals is all I now use. Likewise I never refer to Democrats or Progressives, rather The Radical Left. This needs to catch on!
This one really hit me hard.
Bill, I would consider your mom as a hero. I am speculating, but I bet your mom never considered herself a hero. Nevertheless, she had a job to do and she did it. She could have proven the naysayers right – those who figured stewardesses would panic and crack when a crisis arose mid-flight – but she didn’t; she kept her composure and did her job. The actions of your mother on that flight helped every stewardess (and nowadays, female flight attendant) by not having to go through what she did in order to prove themselves capable. God bless her.
Remember Dr. Emmanuel? I think his cut off age was 70. At least for us, the non elites. God Bless your dear Mother, Bill.
