On a side note, I have received personal blessings from Almighty Yahweh this year, including extra coverage on my Aetna account which pays for some of my utilities, including internet and phone.
Aetna is my provider for both Medicare and Medicaid in Illinois, and because of my chronic health condition I was eligible for their Extra Benefits card. It can be used for certain over the counter health care products from CVS, and now can be used for utilities.
Hi C&C'ers, can I please ask for your prayers for my m-i-l and my mother, both of whom are struggling with major health issues. I really appreciate it.
Update: My mother (age 100) passed peacefully Monday (1/02/26). My m-i-l is transitioning to hospice and really needs prayers for peace and comfort. Thanks!
My son’s Bible verse was from Proverbs this week and we began reading through the book and wow, lots of morsels of wisdom in there! Thank you, Janice always spot on!
I’ve been reading a chapter a day this month. Such a great trove of wisdom and plain common sense! I read through it every month for a year after my divorce and return to work 45 years ago. It was a great stabilizer.
Looks like we are getting a new Trotskyite Federal Reserve director.
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.
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
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.
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🙄
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)
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.”
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.
Libs are stuck tight. I visited a store this morning and had a perfectly pleasant conversation until I left and mentioned the ice and snow around. Bang!! Insulting ICE comparisons and “get rid of ICE”. I just left rolling my eyes. He and his wife are both having heart problems. All jabbed up, I’m sure. Sad.
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.
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.
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.
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!!
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!
Sorry, I fat-fingered that. Meant to ask: why would one subject themselves to reading a Substack from such a liar and clear communist propagandist as the woman Heather Cox Richardson? Obviously me, because I would have had to read at least some of her awful diatribes to have arrived at that educated point of view. Hope that clears up any mystery.
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.
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!!!
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.
I have a couple of friends whose 'signature issue' is reform of CPS, and they say they have become too powerful, and collude with the hospitals who are 'mandatory reporters' of abuse, and that the definition of abuse is too broad, especially when dealing with kids with medical conditions. Parents who don't follow medical advice or want a second opinion are getting reported.
When my son was 2 YO (he just turned 30) fell off a ladder to a slide, well actually he and my daughter were shoving each other, and he ended up with a hairline fracture on his arm. Huge inquisition at the hospital, and they talked to my daughter (4YO at the time) and son separately and I was more freaked out by the implication of abuse than his injury. At the time, I thought it was over-reach as it seemed like they automatically presumed me guilty.
It's a conundrum, as every time you read stories of kids being actually abused, the question always ends up being 'why didn't CPS do more to protect this child?'
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.
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.
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
I have a friend who posts constantly about all of the 'consent' paperwork that hospitals stick under your nose and says you need to ask for a printed copy and READ EVERY SINGLE LINE of it before you sign anything. She literally draws lines through things on the paper copy and will not sign anything electronically. (she has several health issues and has been in and out of the ER) People who are sick, injured, etc, are not thinking clearly and will often sign things without reading them.
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!
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.
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 🙄
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".
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."
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.
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. .
Our Creator pays PARTICULAR ATTENTION to the torment and murder of all children - "Suffer the children to come unto me, for of such are the Kingdom of heaven"!! If these murderous medical 'care' practitioners are not vilified and charged with criminal behavior NOW--they will surely receive judgment in the ETERNAL court of YAHWEH!
Thanks for posting this. Everytime I watch another video, I Iearn another way they are making money off of children. I wondered how Mitt fit into the picture.
Exactly! Plus, this child has 'severe' cystic fibrosis (a horrible lung disease) - the foster parents DCF placed her with SMOKES!!! Her mother managed her disease so very well in fact, that her pediatrician was shocked because the child had not lost weight, but maintained a healthy weight! It is indeed a travesty. And this is happening in Florida of all places! I watched the video of DCF taking her and that DCF person was a power hungry asshole and taken by her own authority!
So much for medical freedom. The masks were nothing compared to Big Pharma’s control of CPS. All across the country. Parents have no rights when it comes to medical decisions that go against Big Pharma.
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!
We helped a Slovenian family immigrate in the late ‘60s. 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.
This is a public service announcement. Let's make America literate again.
Even the idiots using spell check. If it's a homophone, you are using the WRONG word, spelled correctly. Example on a menu: Food served with an Italian flare. 🤦♀️
Former English teacher here....and YES! And then there are things like all the irregular past participle verb forms and how so many people don't know how to use them correctly now. I have heard college graduates say "should have went" or "have ate" and things like that. My head nearly explodes!
I love this correction so much! Did anyone notice that Jeff used ‘vice’ instead of ‘vise’ today? He rarely makes mistakes, but… why must my brain always notice them, and never forget? 😂
That was the norm for people who came from Europe, who had been raised to work hard and had shared Judeo-Christian values. Bringing in millions of people who do not understand or follow such practices was never going to end well! Pattern recognition is not prejudice - it is simple common sense!
Same with my English parents who came here after the war. So glad they are no longer alive to see what has been done to Great Britain. Over 70 towns and cities now have muslim mayors, and they are arresting people for waving there Union Jack, praying silently in public, and posting negative comments about immigrants, while looking the other way while illegals gang rape young girls.
This is amazing information, yet not at all surprising. Just one more blaring example of how we've been lied to, with such massively negative consequences for all of humanity.
Wow! This is all so new to me. You must have studied language and cultures at the time of Jesus (Iessous). Although I have studied ancient civilizations, nowhere have I encountered this exegesis. Thank you.
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.
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!
Same for my family. Grandparents, both sides, came with no money, couldn’t afford an education in Poland, didn’t speak English and made a life in this wonderful country. All their children had successful productive lives.
When my dad was laid off from his job in the late ‘70s, we received food stamps. My mom drove us to the grocery store in another town where none of our neighbors would be shopping and had my brother go inside to buy the groceries. The shame sticks with me to this day—in a good way.
As opposed to the Somali and other socialist 3rd world systems (and I’m sounding bigoted now) of believing that you are stupid if you don’t take something that is “free.” Gee, if everyone did that, there wouldn’t be enough left for people who really need it. Feelings of entitlement with an additional layer of government corruption and we start to suffer a huge cultural cancer that kills freedom and prosperity.
What we are discussing - however second- & third-hand - is the character & influence of Christ (ie, the Holy Spirit & Bible) on western civilization.
It is Christ our King whom we are missing!
God grant that we might once again place the gospel as the supreme necessity of human life! For without the regeneration of our souls, we will only destroy ourselves & one another, by means of degrading addictions, greed and violence.
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!
That is the way, that was the way before politics entered the process. We need to get back to that as a country, people appreciate & hold dear that which they have to work for. Government handouts attract the wrong kind of people. We know this, we’re seeing it in the massive fraud making politicians & immigrants ( legal & illegal) rich.
That's basically the story of my mother in law's ancestors who arrived here in 1902 from Finland. No English, Toivo had a job waiting for him in a copper mine, Alina joined him the following year after a transatlantic voyage with their two babies. They had 5 more children and everyone went on to learn English, and become productive American citizens in one generation without government help.
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.
I remember visiting Miami on our way to Key West in about 1985. We went into so many little stores in which no one spoke English. Luckily I knew Spanish! But even then I was struck by how many Spanish speakers there were.
WOW.....you'd have thought that this woman would have kissed this guy on the lips when he said he was undocumented....father of a queer daughter.....ROFL!!! You can cut the hypocrisy with a knife!!!!

I bet Roger Stone is feeling a lot of sympathy for you right now Don 😑
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 understand he's charged under the 1871 KKK Act, conspiring to deprive others of their civil rights. I’m surprised Jeff didn’t mention it. Ku Klux Klon Lemon is the least bit of humor teed up.
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.
Hey UN: Maybe you shouldn't have spent every single cent of our previous largesse on your "Death To America" agenda. Just a thought for reflection as your well-earned demise proceeds. Running out of loot? You & you know WHO can just whistle for it.
Again, this is just one more reason why I voted for President Trump; he got us out of the United Nations scam while also giving the finger to NATO as well! Hurray! Keep it up! And the best is yet to come, such as the revelation of the traitorous actions by Senator Mark Warner, Co-Chair of the Intelligence (kind of an Oxymoron term in this case) Committee and his freak-out concerning Tulsi's reveal in Georgia earlier this week when the Feds seized over 700 boxes of ballots, etc. from the 2020 election. Why is he so obsessed over this? Time will tell. And more shall be revealed.
I'd rather use our leverage to kill the beast but, if we make a deal the first non-negotiable must be: UN out of the US. I hear Mogadishu is nice this time of year. Or surprise us - Port Moresby, Bhopal, Kano, lots of glamor spots available. "You don't have to go home but you can't stay here."
Then US out of the UN, especially US $$$$ out of the UN. They can taper off on all the money their member states have stolen from us over the decades.
Belling—I recall ambassadors to the UN having diplomatic immunity which let them, their entourage, drivers, etc. get away with blatant crimes. The UN is a mini-swamp that needs to be sucked dry.
Mamdani might get behind the UN-out-of-NYC effort too, if we promise him he can fill the vacated HQ building with homeless folks, and heat it this winter with collectivism.
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 thoughts and our mind will drive the direction of our life. 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! J.Goodrich

Same with horseback riding, look where you want the horse to go.
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 🤩
And that is why inscribed on my coffee cup, "Look Up"! Every morning, seek first the Kingdom, and how to serve.

[33] But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His kingdom and His righteousness [His way of doing and being right—the attitude and character of God], and all these things will be given to you also.
I hope it helps. Sometimes we just need a thought to change a negative direction to a positive direction. I know at times I certainly do. Thanks Janice, Happy Sunday!!

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!
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.
Not sure how that applies to their First Amendment rights? They can protect sources without any extra First Amendment protection or privilege from the govt, right?
The arsonist hiding behind a press badge. "I'm just reporting on the fire! You're violating my free speech rights!" After he poured gasoline all over the church.
Seriously, Blondi and prosecutors have to say to the cameras and courts that you can't pour gasoline on a church (or business, or home), then pass a lighter to the angry mob next to you and then duck behind a press badge and claim your free speech rights are being violated. You can't. Lemon is an arsonist, caught in the act, filmed his own crime. He belongs in prison. For a long, long time. At least as long as the 18-22 year sentences given to Proud Boy/Oath Keeper leaders were given for their non-role in the fedsurrection. As do every single D, politicians and politicians in black robes who pour fuel on our nation.
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 😡
I'm from California, but in 2012, my wife and I were on NYC for the first time, so we did a bunch of touristy things, like take a Hansom cab ride in Central Park and after we had a drinkable the Champagne Bar at the Plaza. The UN was in session, and while we were there, a whole bunch of diplomats from poor, starving Africa came in to have drinks, and then their wives came in about 30 minutes later with their Dior and Chanel bags being carried by the help.
Poor, starving Africa, which America had been trying to feed and democracize for decades, has resulted in their leader's women shop on 5th Avenue, but starvation at home continues, unabated, they just need more money.
I can't help but wonder if Gate's Microsoft buying Hoffman's LinkedIn is in some way related to information that Hoffman had about Gates sordid behaviors. At the time of the acquisition, it sure seemed like Microsoft was overpaying. The price was a 50% premium over the existing stock price.
Message from my tech husband yesterday (I don't have news source though) : "nvidia, microsoft, google, amazon, meta, and apple got caught giving each other money under the condition that the other company use that money to spend back on the giver.. using the same dollar multiple times to count towards each companies revenue."
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.
It's all a show. Some months ago the tech goons were at the WH meeting with Trump and after Apple CEO claimed they were investing $500 billion in AI Trump turned to Zuckerberg and asked how much meta was to invest - Zuck, clearly not ready for that question, stutters and fumbles before repeating what Apple's CEO had said. Then a hot mic caught him admit to Trump he wasn't ready for the question and wasn't sure how Trump wanted him to answer it. It's all a show.
Garrett Ziegler posted email from Microsoft to Epstein dated Dec 2019 they had permanently suspended his Xbox live account due to harassment, threats and abuse of other players.

And here I was thinking Melinda divorced him simply to protect their assets. I have a tiny shred of sympathy for her now. Tiny, though, because she is still using her money for villainous causes.
The Epstein stuff is interesting, I suppose, but the spicy buffet that awaits us will dominate February. Does your Bingo card have "conspiracy of insurrection"? Or does it contain "provable 2020 election fraud vindicates trump"? Or how about "vast left-wing racketeering scheme unearthed"? Please add to the list.

Hey Florida, how about going back a few years and require re-testing for anyone who did not take their driver's license test in English!? Revoke such licenses immediately and require the re-test.
Speaking of illegals...even if the Dems and RINOs pass a stealth amnesty law, which I assume Trump would veto, Trump can still through Admin action go after the employers of illegals. Put the same number of DOJ investigators and DHS enforcers onto that problem. Start fining and imprisoning very CEO/owner who employs illegals. Put 1000 of them into prison, prison not jail, and see what happens to the jobs. Once the jobs are gone, the illegals will leave. Call it the "Encouraging Self-Deportation" action.

On a side note, I have received personal blessings from Almighty Yahweh this year, including extra coverage on my Aetna account which pays for some of my utilities, including internet and phone.
I didn’t know that was a thing!
Aetna is my provider for both Medicare and Medicaid in Illinois, and because of my chronic health condition I was eligible for their Extra Benefits card. It can be used for certain over the counter health care products from CVS, and now can be used for utilities.
Glad for you!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Dave which program, sounds like a winner
I agree, very appropriate for our times. I believe Yahweh led Janice to this verse.
I can tell you for sure that He did. I am not even sure how I landed on it except that He led me. He is so good.
Hi C&C'ers, can I please ask for your prayers for my m-i-l and my mother, both of whom are struggling with major health issues. I really appreciate it.
Lord, we lift up Ruth and Estelle to you and ask you to intervene mightily to bring healing, comfort, and peace, in Jesus' name.
In Yeshua's powerful, healing name...AMEN!
Amen
Thank you.
I will pray. I’m so sorry :(
Can we get their first names?
Ruth and Estelle. Thank you!
Update: My mother (age 100) passed peacefully Monday (1/02/26). My m-i-l is transitioning to hospice and really needs prayers for peace and comfort. Thanks!
WELCOME BACK, Janice! We missed you!!
Hey there, I was a little late to the party yesterday and completely missed it the day before. Girl's gotta sleep.
Sleep perchance to dream - both of them are restorative!
Amen!
My son’s Bible verse was from Proverbs this week and we began reading through the book and wow, lots of morsels of wisdom in there! Thank you, Janice always spot on!
I’ve been reading a chapter a day this month. Such a great trove of wisdom and plain common sense! I read through it every month for a year after my divorce and return to work 45 years ago. It was a great stabilizer.
Looks like we are getting a new Trotskyite Federal Reserve director.
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.”
Nothing wrong either gold or silver. It is the LOVE of money that is the ROOT of ALL evil.
It is the root of all KINDS of evil, not all evil.
Very few get that verse as it's written in His Word..
Usually it is, "Money is the root of all evil."
Money is neutral. It cannot do anything evil.
The evil happens when human beings love the money more than they love their fellow man.
It’s all about the heart.
If only it *was gold & silver - instead of fiat fraud debt based currency!
good one!

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.
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
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!!!
Trust me, they'll have no idea what you're talking about. They have no information
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.
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🙄
Good for you AJ, more of us need to speak up and call a spade a spade.
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)
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.”
Like the IDF soldiers behind the masks.
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.
Exactly! Especially when they respect you!
Libs are stuck tight. I visited a store this morning and had a perfectly pleasant conversation until I left and mentioned the ice and snow around. Bang!! Insulting ICE comparisons and “get rid of ICE”. I just left rolling my eyes. He and his wife are both having heart problems. All jabbed up, I’m sure. Sad.
It’s ridiculous. They are so fixated on certain things 😕
Same team at Endowment for Democracy CIA cutout.
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.
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.
RL you prob aren’t on fb but if you are will you join our C&C addicts group?
I actually am but under my real name (with stricter privacy settings) and I’d rather stay anonymous on C&C.
;)
Just so you know the group is private and I heavily screen people asking to come
in. :)
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.
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!!
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!
Why would you subject yourself to reading
?? What do you mean by that?
Sorry, I fat-fingered that. Meant to ask: why would one subject themselves to reading a Substack from such a liar and clear communist propagandist as the woman Heather Cox Richardson? Obviously me, because I would have had to read at least some of her awful diatribes to have arrived at that educated point of view. Hope that clears up any mystery.
I had to do the same thing… read some of her Substack to realize that she was a pretty educated AWFL person!

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.
😭🙏🏻😭
I pray for the children everyday. I will add this specifically. Lord protect the children!
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!!!
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.
Donna, we need a C&C GiveSendGo multiplier for this law firm! Thank you for what you are doing. This is egregious.
That is a great idea!
Why aren’t the parents the final decision makers for medical decisions? How did parents lose this right?
I have a couple of friends whose 'signature issue' is reform of CPS, and they say they have become too powerful, and collude with the hospitals who are 'mandatory reporters' of abuse, and that the definition of abuse is too broad, especially when dealing with kids with medical conditions. Parents who don't follow medical advice or want a second opinion are getting reported.
When my son was 2 YO (he just turned 30) fell off a ladder to a slide, well actually he and my daughter were shoving each other, and he ended up with a hairline fracture on his arm. Huge inquisition at the hospital, and they talked to my daughter (4YO at the time) and son separately and I was more freaked out by the implication of abuse than his injury. At the time, I thought it was over-reach as it seemed like they automatically presumed me guilty.
It's a conundrum, as every time you read stories of kids being actually abused, the question always ends up being 'why didn't CPS do more to protect this child?'
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.
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.
I appreciate what they do, but wonder how we got to this point. Hopefully they are also working to get laws changed.
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
I have a friend who posts constantly about all of the 'consent' paperwork that hospitals stick under your nose and says you need to ask for a printed copy and READ EVERY SINGLE LINE of it before you sign anything. She literally draws lines through things on the paper copy and will not sign anything electronically. (she has several health issues and has been in and out of the ER) People who are sick, injured, etc, are not thinking clearly and will often sign things without reading them.
I agree with your friend! 100%
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!
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.
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 🙄
I can not wrap my mind around this
Right? 😕 It’s crazy! 😞
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".
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 😕😡
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.
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. .
Our Creator pays PARTICULAR ATTENTION to the torment and murder of all children - "Suffer the children to come unto me, for of such are the Kingdom of heaven"!! If these murderous medical 'care' practitioners are not vilified and charged with criminal behavior NOW--they will surely receive judgment in the ETERNAL court of YAHWEH!

Thanks for posting this. Everytime I watch another video, I Iearn another way they are making money off of children. I wondered how Mitt fit into the picture.
Yes, Jeff, please cover this CPS abuse throughout the country.
Exactly! Plus, this child has 'severe' cystic fibrosis (a horrible lung disease) - the foster parents DCF placed her with SMOKES!!! Her mother managed her disease so very well in fact, that her pediatrician was shocked because the child had not lost weight, but maintained a healthy weight! It is indeed a travesty. And this is happening in Florida of all places! I watched the video of DCF taking her and that DCF person was a power hungry asshole and taken by her own authority!

So much for medical freedom. The masks were nothing compared to Big Pharma’s control of CPS. All across the country. Parents have no rights when it comes to medical decisions that go against Big Pharma.
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!
We helped a Slovenian family immigrate in the late ‘60s. 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.
'60s (not 60's)
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.
This is a public service announcement. Let's make America literate again.
So many people make this mistake! Adding random apostrophes is a national epidemic in this country! 😫
Save the apostrophes!!!

Even our beloved Jeff Childers is often guilty of it.
Well, yes, but since he has limited time to write, proofread and edit his posts, I can make allowances for a few errors like that here and there.
Nah. It's just habit. Typos (not 'typo's' ha ha) are one thing, but when it comes to this error, it's been more often than not in his case.
Well, yeah, but I’m with Running Logic on this one.
Jeff has earned the right to a little slack.
Ditto.
Also it’s a multi-pronged vise, not vice.
Thank you! I consider myself to be fairly educated in this realm but you taught me something new :)
Following you, Joanie Higgs!
Even the idiots using spell check. If it's a homophone, you are using the WRONG word, spelled correctly. Example on a menu: Food served with an Italian flare. 🤦♀️
Oh these drive me crazy!! Flair/flare, Palate/pallet/palette, rein/reign, sight/site/cite, bear/bare, and so many more!
Former English teacher here....and YES! And then there are things like all the irregular past participle verb forms and how so many people don't know how to use them correctly now. I have heard college graduates say "should have went" or "have ate" and things like that. My head nearly explodes!
Past participle?
Oh yes, that drives me crazy too!! 😖
Preach it!
Oh gosh, yes! Kind of related to there, their and they’re. Also lose, and loose, right?
I like your work, Joanie.
Thank you. You remind me of my mother who was an English teacher and coincidentally also a Joan.
🎯
Yes! 👏🏻
Thank you. I am guilty of this and should know better.
It matters where the hyphen goes, before the verb or after it. Such as,”I love chocolate covered cherries.”
Or “Chocolate-covered cherries are my favorite.”
Learn something new 😀
I love this correction so much! Did anyone notice that Jeff used ‘vice’ instead of ‘vise’ today? He rarely makes mistakes, but… why must my brain always notice them, and never forget? 😂
Mea culpa. I make this mistake all the time. Thanks for the primer on apostrophe use, Joanie (I feel more literate already :)).
😊 👍🏼
How about correcting "these kinds of people", when the meaning is this kind of person.
That was the norm for people who came from Europe, who had been raised to work hard and had shared Judeo-Christian values. Bringing in millions of people who do not understand or follow such practices was never going to end well! Pattern recognition is not prejudice - it is simple common sense!
Actually pattern recognition is a marker of IQ
Same with my English parents who came here after the war. So glad they are no longer alive to see what has been done to Great Britain. Over 70 towns and cities now have muslim mayors, and they are arresting people for waving there Union Jack, praying silently in public, and posting negative comments about immigrants, while looking the other way while illegals gang rape young girls.
Immigration explained in one graph by the bad cat:
https://boriquagato.substack.com/p/explaining-immigration-in-one-graph
Probably because Jesus was a Jew, and our Bibles include the Old and New Testaments!?!
This is amazing information, yet not at all surprising. Just one more blaring example of how we've been lied to, with such massively negative consequences for all of humanity.
Wow! This is all so new to me. You must have studied language and cultures at the time of Jesus (Iessous). Although I have studied ancient civilizations, nowhere have I encountered this exegesis. Thank you.
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.
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!
Same for my family. Grandparents, both sides, came with no money, couldn’t afford an education in Poland, didn’t speak English and made a life in this wonderful country. All their children had successful productive lives.
Very similar stories in my family!!
Mine as well.
Too bad there were no Learing Centers available at the time to help him further his education...
It was a point of pride to never ‘be on the dole’ as my first-gen Italian mom told us.
When my dad was laid off from his job in the late ‘70s, we received food stamps. My mom drove us to the grocery store in another town where none of our neighbors would be shopping and had my brother go inside to buy the groceries. The shame sticks with me to this day—in a good way.
Indeed!!
As opposed to the Somali and other socialist 3rd world systems (and I’m sounding bigoted now) of believing that you are stupid if you don’t take something that is “free.” Gee, if everyone did that, there wouldn’t be enough left for people who really need it. Feelings of entitlement with an additional layer of government corruption and we start to suffer a huge cultural cancer that kills freedom and prosperity.

Just read it and agree with the whole thing and love Bad Cat!
What we are discussing - however second- & third-hand - is the character & influence of Christ (ie, the Holy Spirit & Bible) on western civilization.
It is Christ our King whom we are missing!
God grant that we might once again place the gospel as the supreme necessity of human life! For without the regeneration of our souls, we will only destroy ourselves & one another, by means of degrading addictions, greed and violence.

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!
Absolutely! My mom and dad were both first gen Americans!
I am first generation American! Scotland & Canada!
"Respect." For others...all others, and for self...what a concept!
That is the way, that was the way before politics entered the process. We need to get back to that as a country, people appreciate & hold dear that which they have to work for. Government handouts attract the wrong kind of people. We know this, we’re seeing it in the massive fraud making politicians & immigrants ( legal & illegal) rich.
That's basically the story of my mother in law's ancestors who arrived here in 1902 from Finland. No English, Toivo had a job waiting for him in a copper mine, Alina joined him the following year after a transatlantic voyage with their two babies. They had 5 more children and everyone went on to learn English, and become productive American citizens in one generation without government help.
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.
The quote has been, “Last American to leave Miami, don’t forget to bring the flag.”
And it is so true. Miami is quite literally a cesspool now and not the beautiful place it was decades ago.
I remember visiting Miami on our way to Key West in about 1985. We went into so many little stores in which no one spoke English. Luckily I knew Spanish! But even then I was struck by how many Spanish speakers there were.
My concern is that they can use their phones to translate the questions into their own language, which they can read.
Have them surrender their phones for the test. It’s no different than keeping a cheat sheet in your pocket.
Which I hope is part of the plan.
Yes I hope so too!
Having take a drivers' knowledge test recently, I'm pretty sure cell phones had to be off. Otherwise, one could cheat...
The way it should be done. God bless your in-laws.
Same story with all of my ancestors!
They did it the proper way
As it should be. God bless all of you.

Nope, Juju, they cannot and will not hear themselves.

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 🙄🙄🙄
He wasn’t covering the news, he was creating it
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 understand he's charged under the 1871 KKK Act, conspiring to deprive others of their civil rights. I’m surprised Jeff didn’t mention it. Ku Klux Klon Lemon is the least bit of humor teed up.

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.
And this was an arrest warrant brought about by a grand jury of his peers.
Hey UN: Maybe you shouldn't have spent every single cent of our previous largesse on your "Death To America" agenda. Just a thought for reflection as your well-earned demise proceeds. Running out of loot? You & you know WHO can just whistle for it.
Again, this is just one more reason why I voted for President Trump; he got us out of the United Nations scam while also giving the finger to NATO as well! Hurray! Keep it up! And the best is yet to come, such as the revelation of the traitorous actions by Senator Mark Warner, Co-Chair of the Intelligence (kind of an Oxymoron term in this case) Committee and his freak-out concerning Tulsi's reveal in Georgia earlier this week when the Feds seized over 700 boxes of ballots, etc. from the 2020 election. Why is he so obsessed over this? Time will tell. And more shall be revealed.
exactly, why so concerned? bc he has something to hide.

01/31/26: Reminder --- If the UN tanks, the Manhattan (NYC) real estate market tanks... what better revenge could Trump have attained?
Good point!
I second this comment 😁
I'd rather use our leverage to kill the beast but, if we make a deal the first non-negotiable must be: UN out of the US. I hear Mogadishu is nice this time of year. Or surprise us - Port Moresby, Bhopal, Kano, lots of glamor spots available. "You don't have to go home but you can't stay here."
Then US out of the UN, especially US $$$$ out of the UN. They can taper off on all the money their member states have stolen from us over the decades.
Belling—I recall ambassadors to the UN having diplomatic immunity which let them, their entourage, drivers, etc. get away with blatant crimes. The UN is a mini-swamp that needs to be sucked dry.
Absolutely, everything you mentioned.
UN a perfect example why communism never works
🎯🎯🎯
Agree, time to run that entity into the ground and bury it.
Death to the UN. It can’t be repurposed. Same with the CIA, the Federal Reserve & the iRS.
Wrong order, but agree on all counts lol.

Mamdani might get behind the UN-out-of-NYC effort too, if we promise him he can fill the vacated HQ building with homeless folks, and heat it this winter with collectivism.
“Heat it with collectivism…” bahahahaha!!! Brilliant! Like it’s a fuel oil! Thank you for that.

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 thoughts and our mind will drive the direction of our life. 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!

Same with horseback riding, look where you want the horse to go.
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 🤩
Proverbs 11:27 (NLT): Whoever seeks good finds favor, but evil comes to one who searches for it.

This is so very edifying at a time when news and narratives drive our thoughts and hope too far south. Thank you.
Thank you for your inspiring message - I sent it to two people I love who will benefit from it - as did I!
I hope it helps. Sometimes we just need a thought to change a negative direction to a positive direction. I know at times I certainly do. Thanks Janice, Happy Sunday!!
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!
Nice!
This is a landlocked version of that old sailor's mantra: "One hand for the ship and one hand for me".
Where’s the heart x 100 button?
—““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 🙄
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.
There might be exceptions, like protecting their sources.
Not sure how that applies to their First Amendment rights? They can protect sources without any extra First Amendment protection or privilege from the govt, right?
I guess so, that’s why I questioned it though… wasn’t sure. Thx.
Everyone is protected by the Constitution.
The arsonist hiding behind a press badge. "I'm just reporting on the fire! You're violating my free speech rights!" After he poured gasoline all over the church.
https://i.imgflip.com/aiurq6.jpg
Seriously, Blondi and prosecutors have to say to the cameras and courts that you can't pour gasoline on a church (or business, or home), then pass a lighter to the angry mob next to you and then duck behind a press badge and claim your free speech rights are being violated. You can't. Lemon is an arsonist, caught in the act, filmed his own crime. He belongs in prison. For a long, long time. At least as long as the 18-22 year sentences given to Proud Boy/Oath Keeper leaders were given for their non-role in the fedsurrection. As do every single D, politicians and politicians in black robes who pour fuel on our nation.
Smoking mirrors. Deflect from the actual crime. Claim you're a victim. So predictable.
Sounds anti semantic.
The comment was supposed to be to RunningLogic!
The Constitution has always been used as a weapon by the Left. They use it to destroy it. Somehow, we need to disconnect the self destruct feature.
Go to undermine it and you destroy the Republic for the Trotskyites.

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 😡
DJT stopped wars with no help from the UN. So he’s put it out of business.
Just like the Bohemian Club but of course with much darker intentions.
I'm from California, but in 2012, my wife and I were on NYC for the first time, so we did a bunch of touristy things, like take a Hansom cab ride in Central Park and after we had a drinkable the Champagne Bar at the Plaza. The UN was in session, and while we were there, a whole bunch of diplomats from poor, starving Africa came in to have drinks, and then their wives came in about 30 minutes later with their Dior and Chanel bags being carried by the help.
Poor, starving Africa, which America had been trying to feed and democracize for decades, has resulted in their leader's women shop on 5th Avenue, but starvation at home continues, unabated, they just need more money.
Shut the UN down, it is just a grift.
2nd, SHUT IT DOWN.
I can't help but wonder if Gate's Microsoft buying Hoffman's LinkedIn is in some way related to information that Hoffman had about Gates sordid behaviors. At the time of the acquisition, it sure seemed like Microsoft was overpaying. The price was a 50% premium over the existing stock price.
Message from my tech husband yesterday (I don't have news source though) : "nvidia, microsoft, google, amazon, meta, and apple got caught giving each other money under the condition that the other company use that money to spend back on the giver.. using the same dollar multiple times to count towards each companies revenue."
Yes, I heard this and wondered how that would affect their stock prices.
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.
It's called circular financing. Not illegal necessarily. But ethical?

And here I was thinking Melinda divorced him simply to protect their assets. I have a tiny shred of sympathy for her now. Tiny, though, because she is still using her money for villainous causes.
The Epstein stuff is interesting, I suppose, but the spicy buffet that awaits us will dominate February. Does your Bingo card have "conspiracy of insurrection"? Or does it contain "provable 2020 election fraud vindicates trump"? Or how about "vast left-wing racketeering scheme unearthed"? Please add to the list.
Soooooo many things my bingo card missed. I really need to invest in a crystal ball…
Amen!
There is a,Venezualan drug lord rotting in jail to lie about Maduro fixing the election to be pardoned if he rats on him with lies. Wait and see.
Yes, the ultimate evidence. Don't worry, a lying murderous drug lord told me, so it has to be true!
I think Lemon is more bitter than sour. I think Lemon is more nauseating than sickening too! 🤠

I agree 😁
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!
Turn it into apartments for suffering vets, with a Va hospital at its center. And all the amenities we non suffering get to enjoy, because of their sacrifices.
Or homeless shelter.
Great suggestions, Alan and Bard.
Hey Florida, how about going back a few years and require re-testing for anyone who did not take their driver's license test in English!? Revoke such licenses immediately and require the re-test.
Speaking of illegals...even if the Dems and RINOs pass a stealth amnesty law, which I assume Trump would veto, Trump can still through Admin action go after the employers of illegals. Put the same number of DOJ investigators and DHS enforcers onto that problem. Start fining and imprisoning very CEO/owner who employs illegals. Put 1000 of them into prison, prison not jail, and see what happens to the jobs. Once the jobs are gone, the illegals will leave. Call it the "Encouraging Self-Deportation" action.
Now you're talking! Another excellent plan of action.
