I am so grateful that my true citizenship is in heaven:

For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. —Philippians 3:20

My spirit feels out of place and restless here because “here” is temporary:

For here we do not have a lasting city, but we are seeking the city which is to come. —Hebrews 13:14

And thanks to my Savior, my proof of citizenship in that enduring city–my record of new birth–is held securely and eternally:

[F]or I know whom I have believed and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day. —2 Timothy 1:12b

Let us be able to proclaim:

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith; in the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing. —2 Timothy 4:7-8

(NASB1995)

Amen! How easily we are distracted by the cares and concerns; the threats and the challenges, of this world, and act as if God isn’t Sovereign over all.

We trust Him with our salvation; to fulfill all His promises for eternity, but we are so quickly moved by the darkness and growing evil of the day, taking our eyes off the Lord and focusing on the things that are actually under His feet.

I join with you in praying that we might all be strengthened in the Lord, and that we might always remember the guidance we’ve been given in regard to living in the midst of this growing evil and darkness:

Ephesians 6:10-18

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints…

Amen! Prophecy prepares us for what we see unfolding before our eyes daily. Sad fact is that many churches don't teach any prophecy or even about sin or hell any more. So many people sitting in churches every Sunday are still in the dark if they don't know the Bible! The enemy infiltrated the church long ago and has been very successful.

I really didn't want to jump into this debate and so this will be my first and only post on this topic here, but I couldn't find anyone else mention this and it was bugging me so I'll just point out that like half of the old testament is God giving laws about cleanliness and personal hygiene, so there's that.

I’m going to assume that your question is sincere. For any of this to make sense, you need to open your mind to the fact that God exists.

God created people with free will. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+2%3A16-17&version=NIV

People disobeyed God’s warning. God has given plenty of warnings about plagues and pestilence. I got 109 hits when I searched the word “plague” in the NIV Bible. https://www.biblegateway.com/quicksearch/?quicksearch=plague&version=NIV&resultspp=250. “Pestilence” returned 5 hits. https://www.biblegateway.com/quicksearch/?qs_version=NIV&quicksearch=pestilence&begin=49&end=49&resultspp=250 Why would God visit plagues upon people who wreck the world He made? Proverbs 18:10: A rebuke goes deeper into a man of understanding than a hundred blows into a fool. The people who actively and persistently seek understanding will find it. Not all at once. Not all knowledge. But the knowledge that one needs at the moment to guide the next moments. Read The Book. www.biblegateway.com. Find a church based on scripture and not CNN.

If you sincerely are seeking answers, you will find truth. If you are simply shaking your fist and grinding your teeth at what you do not understand and at what other people know to be true, you will be incapable of finding answers.

PS: If God tapped you on the shoulder and spoke into your ear to warn you about viruses and bacteria, what would you have done with that?

I'm gonna mute this thread now. Good seeking!

When god sent the angel of death down to egypt to kill the first born, there were thousands of innocent eygptian children that knew nothing of pharoah or the israelites plight. There were thousands of poor egyptian serf mothers who toiled everyday just to provide for their families. These women didnt care about pharoah . But god SLAUGHTERED their first born kids anyway. God is a mass genocidal murderer of the innocent.

God should called to account for his malicious wanton slaughter of innocent egyptian children

those are human made things. If god exists he gave us the ability to think for ourselves and have freewill. bacteria and viruses are created by god . If god created usin his image and created viruses dangerous enough to kill us, the very least god could have done if he actually cared about us was to let us know viruses and bacteria existed and give us some basic steps to protect ourselves. For hundreds of thousands of years babies died in agony from infections of their ears that could have been cured with a simple antibiotic.

How am i supposed to have faith if for thousands of years god neglected to let us know that these little tiny things that we cant see that he created can kill us and all we had to do was wash our hands and a few other simple things. How am I supposed to trust this god if he left out a simple key piece of info that could have sAved millions of his own children from disease suffering and death? Did he want these people to suffer from say smallpox or polio. Was the suffering the point? Is god sadistic ? Did he just forget to tell us about pox viruses? Im baffled!

Nope. Sickness and death happen because humans are evolved biological machines that break down as they age and are preyed upon by other living things.

I don’t think God has time for Fauci scientism … There is evidently a bigger plan … much bigger than our human brain can figure out. Geez… I can hardly wrap myself around what insanity we are experiencing today. Lol. The way I look at it, is GOD is the creator … created a beautiful masterpiece. Created us to live within it and experience it… the good, the bad and the ugly… and hopefully find the REAL truth which is what Jesus taught. The Truth that sets us free. I think that “ truth” lives within us. Keep searching for God. That Truth will find you if you truly search for it. You don’t need the church to find it either. I personally think you find “ religion” there, but not the TRUTH, the LIGHT, or the WAY. There is a Holy Spirit that lurks about… even the Natives knew it. Jesus spoke of it by saying : I am the truth, the way and the Light. Study his life… and you will find what he meant by that. May the Holy Spirit guide your way. 😉

Life 𝑖𝑠 suffering, MiFly. It is a spiritual experience that being in physical form enables us to have that includes suffering on many levels. It also includes joy.

The conditions 𝒘𝒆 create of our own free will or the ones imposed on us by others contribute to/cause a great deal of our physical suffering. According to the Bible's "official story", once man decided he knew better than God or could disobey God without repercussion -- that was the end of Eden for man and the beginning of his suffering.

It has been known for more than 100 years that hygiene plays the biggest role in both preventing and eradicating disease -- diseases such as polio or small pox. Another question is why did God create creatures large and small that can kill humans? Why are there insects whose bites, for example, can paralyze or blind us?

As for "viruses" being the 𝑐𝑎𝑢𝑠𝑒 of illness vs. the effect of the body's defenses against illness? That "official story" is slowing unwinding, as well. That notion itself has caused suffering. If one "catches" a "virus", one might die...

Life is suffering, MiFly. It is also a 𝑚𝑦𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑦.

Janice - Words Beyond Me, I like your post, but think it should also highlight that God expects each of us to be well informed about what is going on in our world and act accordingly (Luke 12:54-56), and the same is expected from church leaders (Matthew 16:1-3).

Clearly, most church people/leaders have NOT followed these words of Jesus since they are unaware of the “fact” that covid shots contain a “bioweapon” -- the S1 spike protein -- first developed by Pfizer in 1990, made infectious to humans by Fauci/Baric (UNC) in 1999, patented in 2002, and then deployed against humanity to cause the first outbreak of SARS in 2002-2003. (see Link-#1 below)

Note also that blood clots, from micro-clots to very large clots, are caused by the S1 spike protein “bioweapon” developed by USG.

Even without guidance from the Bible, common sense says people must be aware of what is going on in our world and act accordingly, in order to have best chance of fixing the issues found -- running blind is a serious liability. Most non-believers are also unaware of this “fact” and are thus falling into the same trap.

Yes all is true as highlighted by the scripture “Even the elect will be deceived.” I never took the jab, never attended a church that preached for people to accept the jab. Of all the COVID parts why did Pharma use the Spike protein? The most deadly part now replicates into billions of the spikes. It’s almost like they planned to exterminate us?!? God will take what they planned for evil to and use it for good and to glorify his Name, Christ Jesus.

Expand full comment

Agree, and believe depopulation was the intent of both SARS-1 in 2002 (externally delivered) and SARS-2 in 2020 (internally delivered by covid shots). And likely MERS (externally delivered) too in 2012. As you say, God will use this evil for good eventually, and we all must help by always using "bioweapon" when referring to covid-shot related matters.

I have friends with children like this who have rejected their parents' values and have bought into all the propaganda without analyzing it. I also have friends' whose children have maintained the family values and think carefully about current events and analyze what they hear.

I don't know why some children can come through the public education system and still be able to think and others can't.

Better yet, time to change how we fund education - devote the per-student dollars allocated to school *systems* to the *students* instead. Let the money follow the student to any valid educational alternative, whether through tax credits or some other means. Arizona has recently passed the most comprehensive such law in the country. Students should not be condemned to attend a government school because it's the only 'free' alternative. It's not free; it's very expensive, and many students' lives are stolen from them by trapping them there.

I have had worries when there wasn't quite enough money to pay the bills, etc. Unlike them I was able to find more work, do part-time jobs to make ends meet.

I'm not sure when this started. Maybe it began with lawsuits over risks that any reasonable person would assume and not hold against the company such as trimming a tree with a push lawnmower. (A true lawsuit brought against Sears and won). We laugh about the many silly, obvious disclaimers not attached to any product we buy but they are there because there were lawsuits or similar cases that were won against the company.

We seem to believe we can protect ourselves from all unpleasantness and all danger. It is an ironic fact that the places in the country where more people believe this, and have elected representatives with this mindset, all have the highest crime and violence and the most unlivable cities.

Got to find a civil way to reply to "Stay safe."

One thing we are in short supply of now is civility. We need civility because it helps to de-escalate situations. Without civility there aren't enough laws and police officers to maintain the peace.

You can thank public schools for a lot of this easy compliance.

Agree with everything you just said. We were in DC when the omicron wave hit in January and I was stunned by how overnight everyone turned into a robot, immediately clapped the masks back on, started shouting at small children caught with the mask off...and we would see lines around the block of them standing waiting in parks to be tested in those covid tents. I thought "well, if you didn't have covid before you got in that 300 person line, you do now!" It was shocking...absolutely shocking to see grown adults behaving like this. They really scare me...I couldn't wait to get on that plane and come back down south to the land of normal people.

Here's a thought on Hunter B. Hunter was abused by his dad, hence he's handle name "Pedo-Pete"

Maybe, Hunter is getting back at his dad. just sayin.

That's exactly what I think, too. He obviously wants to get caught. No one is that stupid. It's actually really sad, this cry for help.

Expand full comment

I don't see it as a "cry for help" so much as thumbing his nose at law and order. He's gotten away with everything this long and he obviously doesn't fear any consequences for his actions.

You are correct. He has no fear of reprisal.

Who was most likely a severely sexually abused child! God only knows what took place in that family. You don't think that breaks a person for a lifetime?

The daughter's diary accuses Joe of being "sexually inappropriate." Something similar must have happened with Hunter because so much of his attention and videos focus on sex.

No question he’s a broken man but I don’t see him looking for help. That’s my point.

Similar thought that his behaviors are retaliatory, to jb and his deceased bro -- a little bit of the ' dad always liked you best' theme.

His photos and videos have the vibe of gangsta' wannabe; and sorry, but he comes across as male skank. Eewwww.

And when you read his sister Ashley's diary and all the sexual depravity in that family (showering with her dad, etc.), it's no wonder Hunter is such a mess.

Expand full comment

In regard to his iCloud photos and why he put them "in the cloud" -- most iDevices nowday will automatically upload your photos to the cloud for "backup" (in case you lose/smash your phone), unless you find the right place in settings and turn it off. So it's not clear that he INTENTIONALLY put them up in the cloud - but it's still the same question of why he was taking them in the first place.

The depravity and evil in our nation and across the globe is shocking to me but shouldn’t be. God’s Word is full of examples of man’s sinful and rebellious nature. From the beginning man has shaken their fists at God and His laws. We are seeing that daily. I’m focused on Jesus’ coming soon to remove the remnants of the church. But I still look forward every day to C&C! Thank you Jeff; I look forward to your daily post!

I have heard there is a bumper sticker:

"Somewhere there's a 2 year old whose mom is a hooker, dad is a crack addict, and grandfather is the President of the United States."

It is absolutely true, and it ought to have led to clogged streets in DC until that President was removed by his own party. But instead we go to work, watch TV, and continue to pay our taxes.

I have always said, Brandon was the perfect candidate, everyone knows he’s fragile, with every sign of dementia and yet he’s solid gold for the Left and Elitists running the show into the ground. The Right msm complains about him non stop, bringing out stuff now that many of us knew two years ago. Many of us knew about Hunter’s laptop in the fall of 2020. Many saw all the pictures before it was suddenly pulled down. Why would he save stuff to his iCloud? Nothing is leaked. It is all intentional. It is a game the Great Deceiver is playing with newer toys but the same evil that has always been. Brandon is a distraction for the 2022 elections. But God is up to something and I’m going to stick with him.

From today’s post “ There was a singular moment in time, right as everyone recognized how the radical left had termited throughout the national school system, occupying school boards and colonizing superintendent positions.”

Just curious, has anyone read Pete Hegseth’s new book “The Battle for the American Mind”.

Does anyone else here agree that the public schools and teachers unions in their current form are the most dangerous institutions in the US and need to be dis-mantled and /or seriously reformed?

And just curious, maybe I have missed it, but has C&C given any attention to the Convention of States movement to try to make some structural changes to the constitution like term limits?

Yes, schools need to be shut down. I am constantly disappointed at the number of people on the right who continue to send their kids to those indoctrination centers with usually extremely feeble excuses.

Re 'the battle for the American mind,' it's a warning that has been given for decades, in fact.

"The Closing of the American Mind: How Higher Education Has Failed Democracy and Impoverished the Souls of Today’s Students, by Allan Bloom, is a non-fiction book published in 1987. The work is a critique of American culture and higher education and was considered a landmark in the culture wars of the 1980s. It was a surprise bestseller and a New York Times Book Review Notable Book of the Year. ...

"Bloom’s main thesis is that American culture has embraced moral relativism without understanding its disquieting origins in German philosophy or its potentially dangerous consequences for democratic society. This situation constitutes a social and educational crisis of the highest order, undermining the country’s sense of national unity and encouraging racial divisiveness, narcissism, and social isolation. Moreover, the university system has failed in its mission to provide the type of education and humane cultivation that can counter the social decline and anti-intellectualism prevalent in America today. The country’s creed of tolerance and openness is really a closedmindedness.

"The book consists of three main parts reflecting the fundamental subjects of Bloom’s critique. Part 1, “Students,” addresses the plight of contemporary students and society; Part 2, “Nihilism, American Style,” traces the historical development of the philosophy of value relativism and its popularization in America; and Part 3, “The University,” addresses the historical role of the thinker in society and the structural and pedagogical problems facing the liberal arts university today. Stylistically, the book incorporates reminiscence, historical narrative and analysis, philosophical meditation, polemic, and exhortation." (quoted from SuperSummary dot com)

Here's a 1/2 hour interview of Allan Bloom himself on his then-new book. (He was smoking a cigarette on camera, I see from the rising smoke in his opening shot, telling you how amazingly things have changed in all sorts of ways; that is now a 'sin,' whereas 'shouting your abortion' isn't, nor is undermining one's own civilizational foundation.)

I’m not sure it will be more difficult to cheat; some states have enacted laws to safeguard election integrity but these corrupt liars and cheaters will figure out new ways to rig the system. Their minds believe the end goal (power) justifies the means.

Tommy Robinson is the hero for speaking out about Muslim grooming gangs in England. Without his bull-dog approach, there is no doubt the BBC would have remained silent. Tommy has exposed the racket in Telford and has been vilified by the media. He has been banned from every platform, but is on Telegram. So far he has done 3 documentaries on Telford, interviewing several brave young women to expose the horror. It’s all over England, but he highlighted Telford.

This sentiment is what tipped me over to being a $500 subscriber - how much each free Florida citizen (and beyond just Florida) has gained from Jeff's legal work (as well as his public lectures and his Substack). When he said one time something along the lines of, "if you could just pay for one hour of legal work," that convinced me to be one of the crowd crowd-funding his work, to the benefit of all. "Our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor." A bit of fortune now, to try to avoid having to pledge the other two.

Hi Susan,

"It" has been discussed to death, literally, within my extended family, since March 2020.

Can't do it anymore. Walk away from their TV sets blaring "Covid news updates" at 38 decibels, for 14 hours per day. In 2 languages.

I do what needs to be done, and go about the business of living (trying...), since I have done from the beginning of this "crisis".

Must leave them to their neurotic psychosis. There's no getting through their fear of imminent death.

Am trying to escape Canada before Lord Goodhair cranks up the fear mongering and locks the exits again in the fall.

Best of luck to you, when having that policy discussion.
