My dear friend. First and foremost, heal. Working on word pronunciation is great exercise, you'll master those three words in no time and direct them in the right direction.

Thank you for your kind words concerning my efforts to shed light on the PRC espionage, influence and theft -- their perfidy is beyond legion and they are really quite good at it. DOJ's hanging the laundry out yesterday was in fact a seminal moment timed with precision as XI cemented his third term in China to send our own message.

Highighting the use of double agentry both in the briefing and criminal complaints was and is masterful as now all contacts and "assets" will be scrubbed by the PRC I/Os - karma baby.

Last, but not least - thank you for pointing your readers to my Twitter account, they are all welcome, be forewarned since January 2017, the F-bomb has permeated my vocabulary.

Be well, heal quickly and keep us informed and entertained.

Christopher

You are an inspiration. Your husband, children, family, friends, co workers, neighbors, and your readers have depnded on you for so much. Accept your temporary weakness. You will be back to normal faster than you may know. You have a whole community pulling for you! Another setback, but you are just so damn strong, Spicey! You CAN do this!

I followed Christopher Burgess a while ago on a previous reco of yours and have never looked back!

I hope your detractors will get their comeuppance, with sides of Carolina Reapers and Ghost Peppers, along with other meaningful impacts that will shut them down. I wish particular spicey pain for one of them because I can be pretty meta petty, too.

Family matters, healing matters, kitties matter and cat/dog matters - take care of each other and keep your kids close as you can. Bon Bons for all!!! Actually, I'd be happy to send a care package...

Thanks Doll —also I want to publicly apologize to you, for some reason I blocked you on Instagram. I don’t know if was a mistake on my end or I may have unfairly misunderstood interactions with Gina, Kathy and/or Joey. I’m sorry for temporarily blocking you and I didn’t want to insult you by acting like I didn’t know. Hope you are willing to accept my apology

No worries! You do not need to apologize! Just heal and get better! We were going to come down to Nags Head for my birthday (which is today, already one deep in a mimosa) but we have a big project in the kitchen we have to get done. Take care of yourself!

Holy CRAP that’s about 55 minutes south of us. You have to go to Sam & Omies their biscuits are so delish & portions are gigantic.

The weather should clear up if you end up coming down.. It’s super foggy today but that’s bc there’s <3MPH winds.

Honestly the OBX (especially south of Nags Head) is absolutely glorious this time of year. Case in point I jumped into the ocean abt 2 hours ago. The water felt unseasonably warm —if the Gulf Stream takes over the Labrador it’s not uncommon for pockets of ocean to have temps warmer > 76 degrees

Man next year we should definitely do a meet up.

unfortunately I’m too embarrassed right now to do a meet up (or talk via phone) ..as my speech is so slurred and I’m having difficulty formulating coherent sentences. I hope you don’t think I’m dodging you. Nonetheless I hope you have a wonderful birthday & please drink a glass of champs for me😍❤️😍

Oh we LOVE Sam and Omie’s!! We love Bob’s Grill eat and get the hell out, we stay 4 doors down from the Jenette Pier! Also, if you haven’t tried it, please try Nags Head Pizza Co. Hilery and Lewis are the owners. They are in old Nags Head on cottage row by the old houses. If you haven’t seen the news from Nags Head some of the millionaire assholes like senator burr went to Nags Head town council and complained about their business. Fucking ridiculous!!! They both grew up in Nags Head and these assholes are trying to ruin their business. I would love to get together with you. We will be down next July. I just hope by then we still have a country!

File-y, before I started reading I only seen part of the header. I thought #strokeyspypussy was the name you gave your cervical wall. For some reason I feel better. It was for an actual cat.

Go get the folks that slandered you, then maybe lessons will be learned by more. I am sorry this is affecting your family. That is the greatest tragedy.

Thank you for all the China docs. I have my afternoon and probably evening reading now.

Take care of you, File-y, listen to your therapists and thank hubby for his help. We appreciate you both!

Filey, I am not sure how else to contact you. I hope you are doing much better, wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas. Sending best wishes!

Dear Filey! I have been thinking about you and hope your recovery is going well. Also hope you and your loved ones are able to enjoy the season and you continue to get rest and the care you need. Hugs to you!

Side note: a lot of good news have been coming in regarding the twice impeached a**hole and I stay optimistic.

So great to hear from you!!! As someone who has to practice patience, I will never tell you to "be patient" with yourself. Instead, keep allowing others to help when you're frustrated or down. You will get better!

Chris and his work are excellent! The hellscape of twitter hasn't been all bad since it has brought together a bunch of smart people sharing smart ideas. Screw the haters and trolls!

Big hug...

Filey, I've never commented on one of your posts. You don't know me, but I first want to thank you for keeping me sane since I first "discovered" you in 2016-2017-ish. For four years I awoke every morning (Pacific time) with a feeling of dread: what the hell did he do while we were sleeping? Your deep dives made me feel empowered--each article gave me new knowledge about the illegitimate occupier of the White House and those who enabled him. But I learned that Filey had our backs and we could get through it. You did and we did. And now, as the treachery of that period continues to unfold through legal filings, news reports, books (ugh), and the J6 Committee, I'm reminded over and over again of your generosity and grateful for the time you give us all--even those you do not know. "Thank you" hardly covers it, but thank you. I am so sorry about your stroke. I have no doubt that the combination of your Spicy grit, your supportive family and friends, and your well-developed senses of humor and righteousness will enable you to regain much of what first appeared lost. With deep gratitude and admiration, this stranger sends love, hugs, and as many virtual mimosas as you can tolerate.
