Isaiah 46:6

“Those who lavish gold from the purse

And weigh silver on the scale

Hire a goldsmith, and he makes it into a god;

They bow down, indeed they worship it.”

James 5:3

“Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.”

Jeff, I am begging you to please look into the medical kidnapping of Kenlee Zuraff by CPS in Santa Rosa county.

Please just look into this - please, please, please. Medical freedom is not limited to masks and vaccines. For the sake of this sick little girl who was torn from her mother, please look into this. Search her name on twitter and a ton of posts will show up.

The short story is, this little girl has cystic fibrosis. A specialist doctor wanted to switch her from the treatment that was working to a new, expensive, dangerous medication with a black box warning (death and liver damage). Mom wanted a second opinion and liver enzymes checked before switching. Doctor had CPS remove the child for “medical safety.” CPS insisted on immediately removing the girl (there’s a video of the CPS removal and it’s horrific). CPS waited months to even start the new medication that they say she needed “immediately.” Now bloodwork is showing signs of liver damage, and they still insist on continuing the medicine. CPS did so so so many things wrong if you read into the case. It’s been two years since CPS took her, and now CPS is pushing to terminate her mom’s parental rights on February 9th.

I keep praying that Republicans will go after all the fraud and trafficking in CPS. I don’t understand how children can be taken away from parents who haven’t committed any crimes - who haven’t even been CHARGED with a crime. It seems like a massive violation of constitutional rights.

Low income / liberal families are disproportionately harassed by CPS, and CPS removal restrictions could easily be an 80-20 wedge issue that pulls more people to the Republican Party. It would force Democrats to argue in favor of fueling the CPS to child trafficking pipeline.

Most of the victims of child trafficking were originally removed by CPS to begin with and ran away - restricting CPS removals to actual criminals/crimes could dramatically reduce the “supply” of children for trafficking and save the childhoods of so many innocent children.

As a mother, medical freedom is my TOP voting issue by a mile. Medical kidnapping is the main reason I’m scared to have more kids. I don’t want to do the things the doctor wants me to, and I’m afraid they’ll take my kids for it.

Juju's avatar

It’s astonishing that in the same day something like this happens, “CPS insisted on immediately removing the girl (there’s a video of the CPS removal and it’s horrific),” media covers its a “crime” that ICE saved a 5 year old after a father abandoned him, or completely ignores all the many stories where children are left in the care of pedos and traffickers, especially under Biden. Janet’s sharing of Proverbs 17:15 on display

RunningLogic's avatar

Right?????

I am going to respond to those who support anti ICE groups and efforts by asking them why they support human trafficking 😡 It disgusts me so much!!!

AJF's avatar

Trust me, they'll have no idea what you're talking about. They have no information

Juju's avatar

And they don’t believe the facts when you present them. They have been conditioned to believe they are all lies by unreliable sources, so to never listen to anyone on the right. Imagine that, to keep people peddling a set of lies you convince them everything else is false. It’s quite the condumdrum.

AJF's avatar

Juju, I had one (what I considered) victory recently. A co-worker was cheering the death of Charlie Kirk. I spoke up saying, "How can you cheer for the murder of anyone?" She said, "because he was a racist and a fascist!" I said, "have you ever listened to him speak?" She said, "of course not, why would I?" I said, "well I've listened to him extensively and saw/heard none of what you're saying. Instead you are believing what you are told and not critically thinking." It's the first time in a year she had nothing to say, and we remain amiable. I have to say most of them have severe TDS but I can't go there. I wouldn't know where to begin🙄

AJF's avatar

Also Juju, they ALL fell for pandemic, continue to get "boosters" and are sick all the time. One 50 yo previously extremely healthy active woman just had a debilitating stroke, another on disability. They know I've never had a shot and think I'm "lucky" that I rarely have symptoms (get sick)

RunningLogic's avatar

I think if you keep hammering away at it, eventually they’ll start to feel uncomfortable. Also keep asking how THEY are benefiting from it—“you must be exploiting illegals to work for you for low pay or getting money for helping out with the trafficking.”

Bard Joseph's avatar

Like the IDF soldiers behind the masks.

RunningLogic's avatar

I know but it might make them feel defensive enough to be uncomfortable. Especially if you keep hammering away at it. Like *they* used to do with racism and homophobia before most people got tired of it being used every time they turned around and just started tuning it out.

ETA: These people are extremely sensitive to appearances and to others’ opinions of them. You notice how they don’t want to talk anymore once someone exposes their hypocrisy. They can’t stand it when they look like they are on the wrong side. That’s why they have such a strong need to virtue signal. They need for others to believe they are the “good guys.” Use it against them.

AJF's avatar

Exactly! Especially when they respect you!

Alice in Wonderland's avatar

I just read this morning in a Substack by Heather Cox Richardson published on the 27th which started, "The murder of Alex Pretti ... " several additional misrepresentations about ICE which I hadn't previously encountered. One of them referred to the little boy you mention as a five-year-old used as bait by ICE to try to capture his family; that is the only information or context about this child which Richardson provided. I find her (2,700,000 subscribers on Substack) to be, like the misrepresented Alex Pretti, an irresponsible loose cannon, at best.

Stewart Shipley's avatar

Heather Cox Richardson might have been a very good scholar of history (I don't know), but as a political commentator she is both incompetent and intellectually dishonest. I have read four of her articles, and four was enough.

Sharon Beautiful Evening's avatar

But 'they' (the power mongering DEMONrats) are NOT vilifying the 'dark skinned' American criminal who murdered that beautiful young woman (a recent immigrant from Ukraine) who was viciously killed while peacefully riding home from her job at a local eatery. No...that horrendous crime seems to be "A OK" to the DEMOnratic potentates--they are evil to the core!! Their mantra is ANYTHING GOES TO MAINTAIN OUR POWER!!

Jane Tracy's avatar

Early on in Substack I was reading what she wrote and suddenly a light bulb came on and realized how twisting of the facts and biased she was in her writing. I deleted emails from her. Not long after a coworker wrote to me and asked if I followed her ( she thought she was great) and I only said that I had in the past but found I didn’t like what she had to say. It was several years later I finally heard back again from that coworker!

RunningLogic's avatar

Walz and Frey are the ones ultimately responsible for that happening:

https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2026/01/29/national-and-mn-police-remarks-on-mn-policies-on-cooperation-on-illegal-aliens-n2198654?

They should have sent in the police or the guard to help with crowd control. The federal immigration officers are not, from what I have read, trained in that. Which is also why the cries of “they didn’t follow their training protocols” was disingenuous—dealing with rioters and violent protestors attempting to obstruct them is not really in their wheelhouse. Plus I can just about guarantee that up until now (Trump 2.0) they’ve never really had to deal with this kind of obstruction and violence from coordinated insurgents, so it wouldn’t have been anticipated.

LiveDreamRepeat's avatar

Praying for this family! We know the corruption of CPS personally from when we were falsely accused 7 years ago. The experience opened our eyes to the sheer depth of corruption in the TX CPS system. By God's grace were connected with a nonprofit advocate who helped us successfully navigate the broken system. I became an advocate as well, helping other innocent families understand the nefarious ways CPS worked to exude control over families. Eventually TX CPS had to literally change their procedures because of our advocacy group. Unfortunately it had to disband, but the expert leader still works with families and lawyers today in a professional consulting capacity. CPS needs to be disbanded completely as it's evil knows no bounds.

RunningLogic's avatar

Oh wow! Thank you for bringing our attention to this! It’s egregious! I have heard of similar cases and this horrific practice has got to be stopped!!!

Donna in MO's avatar

This is an issue we have been talking about and seeing cases in our local grassroots We the People group. There is a small law firm (3 lawyers) who have taken a couple of medical kidnapping cases at a reduced rate to fight our local children's hospital for calling CPS on parents who reject their proposed course of treatment, and we've raised some funds for their defense. Truly horrifying, and one state senator who terms out this year has tried to get reform legislation passed, but has gotten no traction. Like you said, these medical kidnapping victim parents are low income, not 'connected' and basically have no voice. Media's limited coverage paints them as nut jobs for questioning The Doctors.

AJF's avatar

Donna, we need a C&C GiveSendGo multiplier for this law firm! Thank you for what you are doing. This is egregious.

Aegeandreams's avatar

That doctor needs to lose his/her license at the very minimum and a few other things I can think of but will refrain. How dare he/she call CPS and want to give a child a medication that can kill her. This cannot stand. Imagine what this child is going through and has gone through these past 2 years. Please let us know the name of the doctor so we can pound him/her office with emails/calls and give him/her no peace.

Bonnie Ferguson's avatar

This is exactly why I am a Heritage Defense member and have purchased membership for my son (for the grandkids). Medical kidnap definitely needs to be addressed, and in the meantime Heritage Defense lawyers are helping families who are terrorized by CPS.

Dianne Skagen McBeth's avatar

Stunned. But not. In Canada, a mom who refused to disclose her children’s vax status to a “new”doctor was told “I can have child welfare remove your kids.” When threats and abuse pose as medical practice, it’s not medicine that’s being practiced. Damn bully physician!

rolandttg's avatar

This type of criminal abuse has been going on for years with mothers refusing to allow chemo or radiation for their kid, only to see CPS take them away, and in some instances, the mother jailed.

RunningLogic's avatar

Vaccines too. And other care—a family in my area was terrorized and a child taken away because they wanted a second opinion when their doctor recommended a certain protocol for the child to gain weight since he was underweight according to their charts. She didn’t even refuse anything, just wanted a second opinion before she started a treatment 😕 But the doctor got mad and reported her for it. God forbid you don’t treat everything a doctor says like it’s the gospel truth 🙄

rolandttg's avatar

We lived near a city for most of our working life, and the difference between doctors there and here in the country was night and day. I saw it 50 years ago. Lots of competition where we were, not much here. Plus people from the 'burbs usually do not have white coat syndrome. Here, when I ask people why they are taking a drug, they say "because my doctor recommended it." In the 'burbs, if you didn't like what you heard, you just went for a second opinion. Doctors accepted that, so are far less "me doctor, you dumb ass".

AJF's avatar

I can not wrap my mind around this

RunningLogic's avatar

Right? 😕 It’s crazy! 😞

Patti's avatar

Medical freedom is HUGE! I keep saying it here in Washington state and people don’t understand it. This is one example. I’ve shared before about an employee that had a baby just last year and refused all shots, ointment ect at birth. Doctor was not happy. Doctor called CPS(more likely had a nurse without a backbone do it) doctor came in and told the mom per hospital policy I called CPS. The mom drugged and exhausted after labor and finally a c- section was shocked and grappling. Called me. I said to ask for the policy the doctor is referring to. You want a copy. Also she had consented to a blood test for drugs. Plus husband(they didn’t do anything wrong and wanted to show them). I told her to stop! Get a lawyer. No more consenting. CPS ended up wanting to follow up at her home after discharge but was not invited and mom no longer consented. She did contact a lawyer but at this point I stepped back she was no longer asking for help. It’s wrong! Others should not over rule your wants for your health or your children unless the parent is harming the child and it’s proven

Watch the video embedded here of the unprofessional, high-on-power, CPS agent sent to collect Kenlee:

https://flvoicenews.com/florida-mother-alleges-dcf-medically-kidnapped-her-child-with-cystic-fibrosis-after-she-questioned-risky-drugs/

Parents are in charge of healthcare and medical decisions for their children. Period. We must not forfeit or tolerate infringements upon this God-given, Constitutionally-protected right. This incident of medical kidnap by CPS is by no means isolated, and as such, we are at the point in time when CPS needs to be eliminated, as the agency itself is endangering children, including separating children from loving parents. CPS is now routinely called in for situations such as when a mother who tests “inconclusive” for strep b when delivering in a hospital chooses to discharge herself and baby after a successful delivery with no complications and a healthy baby, but doctor/hospital says the baby MUST remain at the hospital for 48 hours “under observation” for development of strep b. Strep b is treatable at home, and if a newborn developed any concerning symptoms, parents could easily seek medical advice, if so desired. Such behavior by doctors, nurses, and CPS must not be tolerated. The level of tyranny by medical “professionals”, CPS, and APS (Adult Protective Services, for disabled adults) is increasing rapidly. Parents, be warned and beware.

rolandttg's avatar

I've said this before, and I'll say it again.Do your research, read the type of books I have read over the past 4 1/2 years in curing my wife's cancer holistically with NO oncologist involved, and you will see proof positive that since the Rockefellers' captured and vertically integrated the entire medical profession, it has been a criminal for profit death cabal. .

CHop's avatar

I think it's time they bring Senator Nancy Schaeffer's story back into the limelight. As a Senator, she wrote a report that exposed laws passed by the Clinton Administration that financially encouraged CPS to remove children using SS funds. Those children would go on to be easily trafficked. She lost her Senate seat because of it and when she was preparing a documentary on it, she and her husband were "suicided."

And yet, somehow this also doesn’t really surprise me 😕😡

My in-laws immigrated from Norway in the 1950s. My FIL came first and spent five years getting established, finding a good job, filling out all of the necessary paperwork, paying all of the fees, getting a sponsor, etc. so that his wife and two young children could join him.

When they arrived, my MIL was 36 years old, and didn't speak a word of English but within one year, she was proficient enough to have passed a driver's license test, both the written and practical portions! She got a job, they had two more children (including my husband) and they lived and worked in this country for the rest of their lives, without ever receiving one dime of public support or demanding to have anything translated for them!

CC's avatar

We helped a Slovenian family immigrate in the late 60's. My father met the husband when working in Europe as an electronic engineer. The husband came to the USA and lived with us for 6 months, got a job and saved enough money so he could move out. Then he sent for his wife and 2 daughters. He went on to start his own engineering firm and did quite well, enough so that he eventually retired on his sailboat in the Caribbean. He never took a dime from the USA government and he ended up employing dozens of American citizens.

Most people get this wrong. The apostrophe goes in front, denoting the omission of '19', and there shouldn't be one after '60' because you're merely pluralizing the number, not showing possession of something that follows.

The story of most immigrants before recent times! I have several in my family with similar stories! Hard workers who never asked for anything, supported their families and contributed to their communities.

VikingMom's avatar

Exactly! My FIL, who lived to his mid 90s, still teared up when he talked about how much opportunity this country had given him and his family! He had a ninth grade education, which was normal in his day, but had a very successful career in the commercial fishing industry. All four of his children graduated from high school and went on to lead very productive lives, and of his seven grandchildren, five graduated from college, including one Ph.D and two with Master's Degrees! He could not have been prouder of all of them and he always said this was the greatest country in the world!

Hello fellow Norwegian!

My Dad was first generation American! His dad and Mom immigrated to America abt 1916! Their stories are abt the same as your in-laws. They learned English and worked hard!) (they were farmers in the Midwest).

When Dad was 70, he discovered a *forgotten family line (2nd cousin) still living in Norway.

My hard working farmer Daddy visited Norway 4 times before passing away at 90.

This is great historical information on some of the people who shaped this nation:

*legal immigration

*hard work

*love of new home and country while raising kids with patriotism toward USA *retaining respect for the traditions of the "old" world!

Similar story to yours. Learn English out of respect for our country and to assimilate. When I moved abroad, I took language classes so I could show respect to the country I moved to and work there. Florida is one of the worst offenders as in Miami where spanish is the primary language, very little assimilation. If you don't speak spanish there, you are SOL. It is not enjoyable at all to go to Miami now.

And this is like you saying that you went into a bank with a bunch of armed bank robbers and gave the note to hand over cash to the teller, but you were just there to check your balance 🙄🙄🙄

I really believe that God is and has His hand in the fall of many of these vile and evil people that are direct abominations to Him. It takes time but the dominoes are falling.

Guess we now know why Melinda divorced Gates. Can you imagine your husband having sex with multiple women, getting a disease and then sleeping with you while trying to slip you a mickey of antibiotics? We all know he is a diseased entity in mind, body and Spirit and more to be revealed I have no doubt. He is surely one of the evil ones.

I have this dream that after Trump's term, the liberals will have a much greater appreciation for the Constitution, and will join conservatives who suffered under Biden.

But alas, the liberals are a little slower in gaining that appreciation. Might be because Trump is hewing to the principles of it, and they don't like it.

I can't exactly blame Trump. Hehe.

The Power of a Positive Mind

Many years ago I decided to buy a Harley Davidson motorcycle. Although I had motorcycles most of my life I decided to take a riding safety course. One of the first things we were taught was when you focus on something that’s on the road you will inevitably drive into it. This is a lot like life. Our mind is made to go towards the way we think. If we focus on negative things, you will find those negative things. Your own wrong thinking can keep you at mediocrity. God meets us at the level of our expectations. We all should raise our level of expectations.

The opposite is also true, when we expect positive things to happen, positive things will come our way. Every morning when we wake we should think something good is going to happen to me today.

Your expectations are your faith at work. When you expect good things to happen, you are releasing your faith and that’s what allows God to bring it to pass. If you get up in the morning expecting to have a lousy day you’re going to draw that in. If we always think things are not going to work, I won’t get that job, these people won’t like me, this won’t work, your faith is working, your just using it in the wrong direction. Jesus said in Mathew 9:29 “according to your faith, be it done into you”. Another translation is, have what your faith expects. So depending on what we expect, big things, little things or nothing at all is what we will end up recieving. It’s easy to expect the worst but if you can just switch over into faith starting to expect to excel, start expecting to accomplish your dreams you will begin to see God’s miraculous works.

You may have had a lot of disappointments in the past but try to move past that negative frame of mind. Try expecting God to turn things around. You may not always feel it but you should go out into each day excited about the day, expecting things to go in your favor. Don’t go through life trying to protect yourself from a disappointment by not expecting anything good. It’s not enough to just not expect anything bad. You cannot leave your thoughts in neutral and have Gods best. Are you aggressively expecting something good? Do you go out expecting Gods blessings? Are you expecting your dreams to come true? Are you expecting this year to be better than last? Don’t think if you try and it doesn’t work, then what? What if you try and it does work.

I know nothing will happen if we don’t first believe. If we’re not disciplined in our thoughts, in our expectations, our mind, we will just fall back into expecting the worst, expecting failure. We have to train our mind to not put our faith in the negative. I’m expecting Gods goodness. God said no weapon formed against us is ever going to prosper. Even if the worst happens I’m not going to fall apart, get all upset, no, stay in faith and expect God to turn it around. If you get knocked down the real fight begins when you get back up.

I can’t tell you how many times things seem like it’s not going well for me, my finances are getting low, I know the bills keep coming. I’ve learned to stay positive. Something good will come. Soon enough a job comes in, a contract is signed, a check comes, things suddenly brighten. I’ve learned to let go of the worry. David said “what would have become of me had I not believed to see the goodness in God”. What he was saying is where would I be if I had not believed in Gods blessings, in Gods favor?

In psalms it says “in goodness and mercy will follow us all the days of our lives”. We’ve all had disappointments, setbacks have followed us around, we need to let go of everything that didn’t work out. Let go of every person that hurt us. We need to start expecting goodness and mercy. Start expecting greater things for your own life. Gods longing to be good to you. He’s looking out over the heavens waiting for your expectations of goodness to come into your life. It all begins with your faith, your positive expectations. This is not a 3 day trial period, it should be a lifetime of positive expectations. Try to always find the good, be positive and raise your expectations. I Hope You All Have a Great Positive Weekend!

One thing I could add ‘don’t judge a day by the weather’. My parents lived their lives in the Pacific Northwest and did that. Dad just passed, mom still does this but a grey and rainy place isn’t a good region to practice that negativity.

On the plus side, when it’s nice there it’s beautiful, too bad she can’t look forward to that instead 🤩

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. ● For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. ● For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. ● For beautiful hair, let a child run his fingers through it ● For poise, walk with the knowledge you’ll never walk alone.

We leave you a tradition with a future. The tender loving care of human beings will never become obsolete. People even more than things have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed and redeemed and redeemed. Never throw out anybody.

Thank you for the comment "Never throw out anybody." It seems so obvious, yet I was giving up on my mom. She lives with me and is just so hard. She wants to be the 'adored grandma,' but she is so selfish and ornery, she's the opposite. She claims to want to know why no one likes her, but then she can't hear (believe) anything you tell her. I was feeling hopeless and like, why bother trying; she'll never change? I was praying that God would give me wisdom last night. You're comment encouraged me not to give up. Thank you!

—““Don Lemon’s arrest is an egregious violation of the First Amendment.”

So as always, their first amendment rights are more important than anyone else’s first amendment rights 🙄

GregWA's avatar

Yep. Oh, and by the way, the Constitution and First Amendment say NOTHING about the rights of journalists. Journalists only have "special First Amendment" "rights", really they're privileges, because the courts, prosecutors, and government defers to them.

So, another Trump action could be to revoke this, or curtail it YUGELY. All he has to do is require Federal prosecutors to treat journalists exactly like anyone else. And judges who refuse to apply the Law equally to journalists and other Citizens, impeach them. Expose them. Shine a little light on them.

this is more recently though vs what I'm talking about. That said, it's happened many times before in tech bubbles.

Might be best to not spread unverified words. It could very well be a simplistic explanation someone boiled down to explain what some claim is circular funding. Gloomers/doomers/ negative people tend to look for the worst. It's more kinda like Ford loaning dealers money to then buy their vehicles. From the big tech guys position, it's an investment to help companies they see benefiting them in the future. Be aware that Burry put a lot of money in seeing nvda stock tank so I wouldn't be surprised if money is changing hands to promote negative thinking around the stock.

re: the uselessness of the UN....about 5 years ago I resigned from one of two prestigious all-women's private clubs in NYC. One reason was because it was just plain stuck in the past and remains so. At the club, I was on the 'International Committee' which for decades hosted the wives of UN delegates who were given a free pass to club events because somehow they were 'special'. That said, during the time I was on the Committee, it was virtually impossible to get any UN wives to take the club up on its freebie offer because the wives were 'overbooked' in the social swirl of New York. They couldn't even be bothered! It was an interesting insight into the boondoggle that the UN is to its myriad delegates. And yet, every year, that club would grovel after getting these UN wives to attend events; it was a waste of time. And they abuse their privileges too, soley because they are defined as 'diplomats' with immunity - so they rack up thousands of parking tickets yearly because they can do just about anything they please. So my vote is a 'YES' - it's time to boot the UN from New York. It's not clear that it contributes anything to New York City and in fact it's a bit of drain. Not to mention, that they haven't stopped ANY war since WW2 and in fact have been involved in sexual abuse cases amongst their employees stationed abroad. It's time to SHUT IT DOWN.

Agree, your personal experience with them confirms what I have always heard. It’s just a big private privileged club that does everything for itself but nothing for anyone else! Bunch of mooching self important elitists 😡

Another thought on the UN. Trump should make them an offer for their building in NY.

He should make this offer alongside architectural plans for converting UN HQ to a hotel, or even better, a Casino!

How delicious would that be! No Govt action, just Trump making them an offer that would have them coughing up their breakfast!
