Some say I'm a little harsh....but I call things exactly as I see them. I don't sugarcoat facts, and I won't apologize for speaking the truth!
So, I've been reading the comments about Christa Pike's failed execution, and I see some people saying she's suffered enough and has already paid her debt to society.
Let me make one thing clear: The picture I posted is of Colleen Slemmer, the innocent 19-year-old victim, NOT Christa Pike.
With so much attention being given to Christa Pike, I think it's important that we remember the person whose life was brutally taken.
Christa Pike’s victim…Her name was Colleen Slemmer, and she should NEVER be forgotten.
BEFORE MANY OF YOU SAY CHRISTA PIKE HAS SUFFERED ENOUGH, LET'S REMEMBER WHO THE REAL VICTIM WAS.
Before we start talking about how much Christa Pike has suffered, let's remember what 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer endured on January 12, 1995.
These aren't rumors. These facts come from actual court records, witness testimony, forensic evidence, and Pike's own confession.
HERE'S WHAT PIKE DID TO HER VICTIM:
1. Planned the murder in advance and lured Colleen into an isolated area.
2. Repeatedly punched, kicked, and brutally beat her.
3. Slammed her head against her knee and the concrete.
4. Prevented her from escaping despite repeated attempts to run.
5. Forced her to remove her blouse and bra.
6. Gagged her to stop her from speaking.
7. Repeatedly slashed her abdomen, back, and throat with a box cutter.
8. Participated in an attack during which a pentagram was carved into Colleen's chest.
9. Ignored her desperate pleas for mercy, even when Colleen promised to leave and never return.
10. Repeatedly struck her head with rocks and asphalt, causing fatal skull fractures.
11. Continued beating her while she struggled to breathe.
12. Helped drag her body into a secluded area and abandoned her.
13. Took a fragment of Colleen's skull as a souvenir.
14. Showed that skull fragment to other students while bragging about the murder.
15. Smiled, danced, and sang while describing what she had done.
THIS ATTACK LASTED APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES TO AN HOUR.
Think about that. Colleen begged for her life. She tried to escape. She promised to disappear if they would just let her live.
SHE WAS GIVEN NO MERCY.
Now we're being asked to focus on Christa Pike's suffering.
I recognize that everyone has constitutional rights, and I certainly don't celebrate anyone's suffering.
But I also believe in accountability and justice for victims.
HERE ARE THE FACTS:
Christa Pike was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to death
On September 30, 2026, Tennessee attempted to carry out that sentence. Why it took that long to get to this point, we may never know. The execution failed, and she survived.
HER SENTENCE WAS DEATH. THAT SENTENCE HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETED.
Whether another execution is legally permissible is for the courts to determine. But spending decades in prison does not mean a death sentence has been fulfilled. And suffering today doesn't erase the suffering she deliberately inflicted on an innocent 19-year-old girl.
THE QUESTION IS SIMPLE:
Where was the compassion for Colleen?
Where was the mercy when she begged to live?
Why does the suffering of the convicted murderer seem to receive more attention than the suffering of her victim?
I believe in due process. I believe in constitutional protections. But I also believe the victim should never become an afterthought.
HER NAME WAS COLLEEN SLEMMER. SHE WAS 19 YEARS OLD. SHE WAS THE VICTIM. SHE DESERVES TO BE REMEMBERED.
Justice must follow the law, but it must never forget the innocent life that was taken.

In another case of modern versus older definitions, my household suddenly finds itself questioning historical writings whenever they mention a herb being poisonous. This is due to a little historical digging my daughter was doing around buckbrush/snowball/wild snowball. Going into several old books that she has on her phone, she found an entry where someone had supposedly suffered the worst case of poisoning they'd seen from a herb, even beating out rhus poisoning. This was from a book written in the early 1900's.


However, the word poison had been used to describe not just Rhus or sumac, but also rhubarb leaf AND the reaction this person had to buckbrush. . . . these conflicts of understanding and behaviour seem to centre around the person being able to ingest as much as they want without side effects of any kind. This isn't true of domestically sold foods, so why would it be true of garden or wild-grown foods?


To call a bad allergic reaction a poisoning, that puts a very erroneous spin on things that has coloured our modern understandings of some plants, because we assumed that the word "poison" meant in the past what it means today.


In our house, we like to learn from history, spitting out the bones whenever necessary. It appears we've found a potentially problematic bone, and will be paying closer attention as to whether the ancients described poisoning or allergy/sensitivity instead. This kind of erroneous labelling may be what happened to the rhubarb leaf.

America Is Tariffing the World and Still Beating Canada on Food Inflation!
Canada should see this as a wake-up call. Something isn’t right.

Canada's jobs numbers don't add up — and neither does our economy...
Carney and Ford love bragging about beating the Americans on jobs. The real numbers, and Ontario's GDP ranking, tell a very different story.

ITS ALL a Show, Canada’s decline is systemic. The policies in Ottawa are driving investment out of the country. While they boast about “beating inflation,” the cost is economic stagnation and rising unemployment. We are watching the same cycle unfold in Canada that we’ve seen throughout Europe: governments destroying their own economies under the illusion that they can centrally plan prosperity.

Germany, the new woke outhouse of the world:

Syrian won’t be deported despite smashing windows of 245 cars, beating an elderly woman, and possessing illegal weapons

The Mainstream Media has died from a terminal case of TDS combined with an aggressive infection of the woke-mind virus. The MSM, as it was nicknamed by its critics, was first diagnosed with TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) in 2016 when it couldn’t accept that Donald Trump won the presidency, beating the projected winner and war criminal Hillary Clinton. Critics of the MSM say that the slow painful death was both ‘deserving’ and ‘a long time coming.’ Starting in the 1920s with broadcast radio, the MSM grew into a respected and trusted source of news and information during the Golden Age of television in the 1950s, thanks to luminaries such as broadcast journalists Edward R. Murrow, Walter Cronkite, and Fred Friendly. Remembered fondly for giving a voice to the voiceless and holding truth to power it later devolved into The View’s Joy Behar lecturing her viewers about vaccines and dragons.

The Canadian economy is falling further behind population growth, even as the population slows. Real GDP grew 0.2% in July beating expectations but failing to match population growth. National Bank of Canada warns per-capita GDP has seen a cumulative decline of 3.9% since 2022. That makes this the sharpest non-recession erosion of economic output.

Why would Amazon ban one of the top doctors in the nation from selling his books on Amazon? Why, because he tells you about using repurposed drugs as one option for beating cancer and that digs hard into the bottom line of big pharma and corporate medicine. Your health is nothing but an entry in a financial spreadsheet of corporate America today. They couldn't care less what their 'care' does to you or if you survive it . . .

Amazon Excommunicates Dr. Paul Marik

The banning of "Cancer Care" is an extremely dark moment in the history of censorship.

A few days ago I received the word that Amazon had banned Dr. Paul Marik’s book "Cancer Care: The Role of Repurposed Drugs and Metabolic Interventions in Treating Cancer."

In Amazon’s words:

Hello,

We are terminating your account effective immediately because we found that you have published titles with misleading content that have the potential to mislead or defraud our customers.

You can see the violations reflected in the following title(s):

58840430 / Cancer Care: The Role of Repurposed Drugs and Metabolic Interventions in Treating Cancer, PRI-4BJKMH3ENCP / Cancer Care: The Role of Repurposed Drugs and Metabolic Interventions in Treating Cancer

As part of the termination process:
• We will close your account
• You're no longer eligible to receive any outstanding royalties
• You'll no longer have access to your accounts. This includes, editing your titles, viewing your reports and accessing any other information within your account
• All of your published titles will be removed from sale on Amazon

How wonderful. Better to let people die than to give them important information on cures that ARE available.

SIDENOTE: Dr. Paul Marik was a hero during Covid until big pharma got corporate medicine to ban him from his practice of saving patients (his track record for saving those already hospitalized with covid was remarkable and pharma wouldn't have any of that)
