Helping the severely Covid vaccine-injured like Cody SHOULD BE the Number One priority of our government which wrongly encouraged/mandated Americans to take these experimental, dangerous jabs in the first place!
God bless Cody, his mom Heather, and all of you who care.
Sadly covid-vaccine-injuries are unlikely to ever be #1 priority for USG, but fortunately helping with such injuries is #1 for React19 ( https://react19.org/ ), which might be able to provide some assistance. And as you note, prayers blessing those involved are a key ingredient -- will be keeping them in my T&P.
SHug - Heather told me that so far, just under $4k has come in. So yes, our C&C army has made a difference. But moving is such a huge expenditure not to mention the medical bills. 😢
Heather has been moved to tears and is beyond grateful. As am I.
Do you know what the donations are at now? The C&C army is a caring, generous group and I’m praying they’re at a point where they can feel some relief from the financial burden of treating their precious son.
I don’t Julie Ann. I do know they certainly are feeling some financial relief. And from the texts I’ve been reading tonight, Cody is not doing well physically. Please pray for him.
Thank you for sharing this story so we could help ease their financial burden and pray for Cody and his loving family. Such a sad and difficult situation. I hope they know the Lord.
This asinine iteration of deranged Yahoos - professing to be the Democratic Party - and its bizarre mishmash of lackeys (doormats, i.e. deluded gesticulating idiots) has made considerable strides in the art of nonsensical arguments and infantile emotional outbursts. I'm still damn near stupefied that passing the SAVE Act is even remotely grim, controversial, or, for the love of all things sane, a "threat to democracy." ⬅ (definition still decidedly muddy.) "If we pass the SAVE Act illegals will be removed from the voting rolls." Uh....yeah. We certainly don’t want to be accused of “disenfranchising” 🙄 a group of people who aren't supposed to be here in the first place. For shame.
NPR (Not Plausible Reading) has stated that the idea that Democrats are bringing in immigrants to illegally vote for them is a conspiracy theory concocted by Trump and Musk. "Conspiracy theory".... The gift that keeps on giving. Meanwhile, on this chilly NE Florida morning, I've donned my black hoodie - festooned with a slightly tattered Betsy Ross flag - as a show of solidarity with/for John Fetterman. I didn't see that coming. Considering that I've never held back on lampooning him ever since he arrived on scene a few years ago, it's the least I can do. Interesting times, indeed.
Since the majority of American people as shown by polls support the Save America Act, it should be passed by us, the majority and bypass the senate period. After all, it is we the people it affects if it does not pass. The payors (we) are the sayors.
It’s pretty nuts to me that our Constitutional system has to rely on ‘tricks’ to pass common sense legislation as having to show ID to register to vote. The fact there is opposition to this shows how rotten our country has become. The yeas and nays are simply about who holds power. One side is reliant on actual US citizens for election, the other is not.
Sure, I get that. But are we not supposed to be 'different' in some way from previous governments. Or, perhaps Reagan touting America as that 'shining city upon a hill' was just bullsh*t.
I’m talking about our Constitution. Show me where in that governing document the statute on the filibuster. You can’t because it doesn’t appear there. There’s a lot of other rules that also don’t appear in our Constitution and that is at the core of our problems.
I prefer there always be '2 sides', but when both sides are pro 'American citizens' first. We've lost that over the last 40 years. Sadly, probably we need a big war with lots of bloodletting to get it back.
I’ve been reading Al Jeezera for years and am still frequently impressed by their even and intelligent commentary. I was introduced by frequent references in articles on Zero Hedge and after finding them professional and pretty reliable, I started reading their feed directly. Don’t let a knee jerk reaction to the middle eastern name sway your opinion without going over there and sampling their work. You’ll find more international news and less TDS.
I corrected my comment. Yes, Al Jeezera (And RT) are often far more truthful than our own zionist-controlled media.
But currently, they are spouting biased and untrue stuff regarding Iran, their enemy. Understandable to some extent... but Qatar backed the appalling Israel/US unprovoked/illegal war on Iran, so Iran justifiably attacked them in return (retaliation).
I’m confused. Fetterman did vote in favor of moving the discussion forward but, he’s also said he doesn’t agree with the bill and will vote no. So I’m not celebrating him doing the right thing.
Fetterman didn’t like framing it as voter ID, he is in favor of determining “proof of citizenship” to vote as in many states illegals can obtain a drivers license. I agree, this is a stronger position. 👍🏼
My understanding of the current bill is that proof of citizenship is required each time you need to register to vote (moving to a new state, etc). After you’re registered with a birth certificate, passport, naturalization certificate etc to prove citizenship, you just need to present your drivers license or other government issued ID to vote.
I used to be very negative re Fetterman, but right now, I think he may be the best example of what an elected official should be. You are what you do. His consistent priorities seem to be: (1) what he, himself, believes is right and good for America, (2) what his constituents want and need, (3) what his party leaders want to achieve, and lastly, (4) self-enrichment - the reverse priorities of most politicians. Time to give him a break.
We need something akin to the Munk debates. Congressional “debates” are a farce, little more than redundant talking points. MSM debates are mostly scripted four-on-one panel discussions. Presidential debates are limited set-ups (where people with long hair have the advantage). We have so many important issues that need to be debated in detail . . the national debt, DEI policies, immigration, abortion, election integrity, rogue / partisan judges, our entire system of justice, why we have so much fraud in government programs, . . .
Stop with the name calling, and the labels, the fear, the hate mongering, the distractions, and even the quibbling. Start with the Munk format and make it better.
The problem with Fetterman’s switcheroo was his stated reason: that there is no fraud with mail-in ballots. That was a shocking statement when that’s where most of the fraud has occurred, and even if it wasn’t much (it was,) the holes in that process are so many and a ripe opportunity for fraud to occur so they need to be closed - especially with how distrusting we have all become of each side. What’s wrong with filling holes and closing gaps that fraud “could” exploit? So that tells me he was looking for something, anything, to give reason to vote with his party. He couldn’t very well point to men in women’s sports or child mutilation. It was the only excuse he could safely touch because half of the country is still in the dark about the voter fraud.
Hmm... they say there is about 3 million Chinese anchor babies that will able to vote in a few years. So, will we send them all mail in ballots??? And anchor babies in other countries.
Hey Hobgoblin, don't be stupefied by the Democrats calling the SAVE Act a "threat to democracy", with definition still decidedly muddy. This is a party that cannot define a woman, and their leader once asked, under oath I might add, for a definition of "is"! Nothing surprises me with them
Trump on the Strait of Hormuz is like the “Little Red Hen” character. He found the solution is other nations help patrol the Strait and that way they get the oil they need, but they say “not me”. At the end we should keep control of the Strait and charge other nations for the passage of their oil.
I would trade Fetterman for my thoughtful, even handed Mother of Ranked Choice Voting Murky Murkowski any day. I may have actually voted for her. There were so many walnuts moving so fast I lost track of where the pea was.
“Never forget that our enemies’ preferred tactic is to sow division, turn populations against each other, and make us destroy ourselves. “Supreme excellence consists of breaking the enemy’s resistance without fighting,” Chinese philosopher Sun Tzu advised. Democrats don’t need to break MAGA if MAGA does it for free. The Democrats are achieving supreme excellence by doing nothing while we do the fighting for them.”
So true. We all have choices. Choose kindness. We all have disagreements. Disagree respectfully. It’s not that hard.
Both, the new Left and the new Right need a scapegoat and they dust off the reliable Jew hatred. They don’t recognize that it is the “canary in the coal mine” trying to warn us of their merging - see the “ horseshoe theory”. Beware and as Jeff is warning don’t let the Dems win in ‘26.
I don't believe it is "Jew hatred" on the MAGA side, we are pretty accepting of differences, it IS disapproval of the Zionist expansion plan of "greater Israel" that we do not like; see playing out and we certainly do not want to be used for it nor do we want our sons & daughters to pay the price for a "Greater Israel" - period.
What expansion plan? Something muttered by a couple of far right politicians? The Israelis want to be able to live in peace without having terrorists at their borders seeking to wipe them out. I listen to a variety of Israeli analysts and have NEVER heard any mention of expansion. They wish to have recognition of their right to exist, something Iran, Hamas, and Hezbolla categorically refuse to provide. Imagine living beside people who want to see you dead… I’m a Canadian Christian and am horrified with some of the number of Republicans drifting into the form of anti-semitism that sees Israel behind all the ills - just the same scapegoating that’s gone on for hundreds of years.
The "Yinon Plan" is a 1982 strategic document outlining a vision for Israel to become a regional power by fragmenting surrounding Arab states into smaller, sectarian-based units to secure its dominance. Critics and analysts often link this strategy to contemporary Israeli foreign policy, including under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has been associated with a "Greater Israel" vision.
Synopsis of the Yinon Plan (1982)
Origin: Written by Oded Yinon, a journalist and former Israeli Foreign Ministry advisor, titled "A Strategy for Israel in the 1980s" and published in the World Zionist Organization’s journal Kivunim.
Core Goal: The plan argued that Israel's survival necessitated becoming an imperial regional power, achievable only by breaking up surrounding Arab nations—Iraq, Syria, Egypt, Lebanon, and Jordan—along ethnic and religious lines.
Key Strategies:
Iraq: Identified as the primary threat, it was to be fragmented into three entities: a Shiite state, a Sunni state, and a Kurdish state.
Syria/Lebanon: The plan advocated for Lebanon’s balkanization (which it saw as foreshadowing the region) and the division of Syria along Alawite, Sunni, and Druze lines.
Egypt: Described as a "corpse" that should be dissolved to allow for an Israeli re-invasion of the Sinai Peninsula.
Jordan: The plan suggested the "liquidation" of the Hashemite Kingdom to allow for a population transfer, solving the Palestinian issue by moving them into a fractured Jordanian state.
"Greater Israel": While not explicitly using the term, it is closely linked to the concept of expanding Israel's borders "from the Nile to the Euphrates".
Gail, my answer posted above was information from an LLM known today as AI. It is a synopsis of the "Yinon Plan" is and how the current PM of Israel has been involved with it for more than 5 decades.
To answer your questions:
Israel returned the entire Sinai Peninsula to Egypt under the 1978–1979 Camp David Accords and peace treaty, prioritizing long-term security, diplomatic recognition, and peace with its largest Arab neighbor over holding vast territory. The deal was brokered to end the state of war with Egypt and included a demilitarization of the peninsula, providing Israel with a strategic buffer zone.
Key reasons for the return include:
The Land for Peace Principle: Israel traded the Sinai to achieve its first peace treaty with a neighboring Arab state, as stipulated by the Camp David Accords.
Security and Buffer Zone: As part of the peace treaty, the Sinai was demilitarized. This allowed Egypt to regain sovereignty while protecting Israel by ensuring heavy military forces could not sit directly on its border.
Neutralizing a Major Foe: Egypt was historically the strongest Arab adversary. A peace treaty removed Egypt from the military equation of the Arab-Israeli conflict, significantly increasing Israel's overall security.
Normalization of Relations: The agreement, signed by Egypt's Anwar Sadat and Israel's Menachem Begin, officially ended the state of war and opened diplomatic relations.
Although Israel captured the Sinai in 1967 and briefly held it for security reasons, the geopolitical desire for a lasting peace agreement proved more beneficial to Israel than retaining the territory.
It's not even that -- I am questioning Mossad and deep state Israel intent and goals JUST as I question deep state CIA here on our own shores! I am a believer who loves all people as any genuine Christian does and prays for all souls to believe in and give their lives to the only name under heaven by which men may be saved -- JESUS! (Acts 4:12). BUT I do question Bibi -- just like Charlie Kirk questioned -- HOW could the advanced (even more than CIA by some accounts) Mossad not have known about Oct 7th? And on top of that take -- what -- an hour? to respond. Give me a break. It's a dark but not unreasonable thought that governments do what they need to do or tolerate what they need to tolerate (even the killing of their own citizens) to have a premise for war. AND I am increasingly uncomfortable as I find out more and more how much AIPAC seems to influence our leaders.
SHug I urge you to see out more information on this topic.
"Antizionism" IS just the NEW term for "antisemitism".
Otherwise please explain how ONE SPECIFIC people/ race/ religion can be denied to have their own one TINY chunk of land in the entire world?
Are Americans denied America? French denied France? Multiple Muslim-majority (almost to the point of 100% exclusivity) countries denied the right to their homelands? Did you or the world object to 'anti-islamization' of the Pakistanis when Pakistan was created? Can you explain the justification why Israel is treated differently?
You can look it up on your own. I have no problem with Israel itself or Iraelis or Jews overall. The Greater Israel IS a "Zionist plan" to take over several areas that are NOT theirs at present. That TINY little country suddenly turns into a HUGE chunk of the ME. If they don't like being called out on it, they shouldn't do it or plan it.
Here are a few data points. It is not a big secret, it is known and commented on all over. I didn't make it up, Israel did. So, if you have a problem with it, I suggest you take it up with them.
Why you think I'd accept as factual propaganda from an entirely muslim organization what Israel's plans are is beyond me. HISTORY, as in ALL PAST ACTIONS, refutes your assertion at every angle.
"It is undeniably true that tackling Iran advances Israel’s interests. But it is equally true that it would have been impossible for Trump to tackle Iran without Israel. So … who’s using who? "
The question is whether we acted at our own pace and time, or were we forced to act, before the stage was fully set.
With over five dozen military bases nearby and the world's largest and most advanced military machine, to suggest "it would have been impossible for Trump to tackle Iran without Israel." It's like saying a raging bull couldn't do any damage in a china shop without a certain particular tick engorged on its head.
Because killing our soldiers, attampting to assassinate our Presidents, threaten the world economy, threaten friends and allies, sponsor global terror proxies? Why, none at all.
Exactly. Just like we are in disagreement with other leaders in power elsewhere. Tired of hearing anti-semite, Nazi, racist, fascist. The Left needs new material.
Criticising the aggression of the Likud Party and the bloodlust of BB is NOT equal to "Jew Hatred". Not even in the same ballpark.
Is being critical of Obama policies "Black Hatred"?
Is being critical of Trump policies "White or Christian Hatred" ?
Whenever these Jew hatred, anti-Semitic tropes are used, it is because you have failed at assembling a cogent argument supporting these Likud party policies.
"Jew Hatred"... which, like the blatant LIES of the "holocaust"... has been a zionist propaganda go-to for many decades.
Can you despise Israel's apartheid... genocide... land thefts, corruption of our government via bribery and extortion... the talmud... the "Greater Israel Project"... protection of traitors and pedos...
I can't stand the soap opera in-fighting. We're not supposed to be like democrats who fall in line as ordered. Yet when someone has a differing opinion, it all too often gets personal as well and I just tune out, unfollow whatever it takes.
"Apparently Megyn Kelly and Mark Levin are having an undignified public spat over the war that is doing neither of them much good. Levin called Megyn Ozempic-faced, and Megyn called him “Micropenis Mark.” (Or diminutive words to that effect.) What either of those unfortunate observations have to do with the war is anybody’s guess."
I wonder what "observation" Megan had to make her statement. Well whatever, and yes, it is not helpful to rational debate. I cannot remember the last time someone asked their opposition to "Please state the opposing argument to your position so that I can see if you understand my disagreement with you" We need to Keep Charlie Krik's rational debate alive, particularly with fellow conservatives.
Same anomalies with JFK's murder. The ballistics were laughable and sadly believable, by the sheep, who exist without asking questions. The 1st question is: Cui Bono? The answer of course, Israel. The next in line, patsy LBJ, was a nauseating Zionist.
Yes all of it. LBJ was truly a foreign agent and traitor. Thanks for that link, I will definitely watch tomorrow. Bush Sr. was a CIA sloth, who certainly may have been involved.
I agree, the Talking Heads sound more like children having a temper tantrum than adults. I cannot be bothered to take them seriously any longer, and tune them out and turn them off.
You are failing to understand how infiltration occurs. Debate is the instrument of our courts, our congress and senate, and even our boardrooms, it is a tool that civilized societies use in the pursuit of truth. There is no debate in North Korea. 🤷♀️
I think debate is great and that differing opinions and or doubt in a decision or process is healthy. What I don't like is the catfighting. For example, he's a traitor for not agreeing, maga, Trump whatever. Or you're not maga if u don't believe xyz. Then the back n forth calling each other names. Then there's oh I was first in calling that out and she took credit...all of these childish games. It's an immediate turn off. Everyday, you hear a fellow Conservative screaming that another is not a Conservative.
Honestly, I can understand all the mistrust because the deep state is real and been playing all of us as pawns for decades. I don't know what to believe at times. The stories on Bannon have me wondering but I will reserve judgment on him or anyone else on that matter whether they believe x or y; not scream that person as a traitor or a bad guy.
It's gotten so bad out there the best medicine has been to do the things you enjoy and pray.
Your disdain for the battle is a reflection of your disingenuous pursuit of the facts. You say that name calling is “childish,” and that is essentially name calling. You don’t want to be held to an opinion because you don’t want to risk being wrong, or you don’t have a foundation to support your argument. It is so much easier to look like you are civilized and smarter than others, to just call them childish or say they are in a cat fight when you have no idea what the actual situation is. How about the battle against antisemitism and bigotry? That is exactly what we are talking about. Jeff is wrong too. Mark Levin is Jewish and Megan Kelly and Tucker Carlson are not Conservative if they are antisemitic. Yes, they are pro Palestinian. It is a rather black and white issue we are discussing.
I respectfully disagree. I read and listen to everything I can to discern the facts of the matter. I just don't care for listening to people call ea other micropenis or saying I was first, or you're not MAGA if you don't think exactly as I do. And to state I'm disingenuous is speculating when you have no idea what I've done to help save this country and our Constitution.
Have you read any of Mark Levin’s many books? Megyn Kelly has written her one book, her autobiography. I doubt it has any information on current events. I don’t know anyone who would actually say refer to a woman having a penis of any kind. 🙄 Bottom line is that Jeff makes a living arguing, yet he criticizes other people who are using free speech to make a living and express their opinions. Should I have said you sound sanctimonious as a person who is above the catfight, like Jeff? Yet here you are. Humm.
Is it okay if I choose to mock and meme the media squawkers that are trying to fan the flames of the MAGA infighting so the bad guys have one less weapon in their arsenal?
Maybe I’m just naive, but I don’t believe these discord spreaders were actually really ever MAGA. If you look at their backgrounds, they’ve been this and they’ve been that; all depending on which way the wind was blowing the dollar bill. I think what’s happening right now is God leveling some judgement on them; exposing them.
The media, of course, is blowing it way out of proportion; but seriously who has time for such nonsense. Maybe I see it that way because I don’t listen to any of them other than if some clip makes it into the wider world.
In my childhood I was taught never to place the faith that belongs only to God in any human being; every one of them will fail you at some point if you look to them for security.
Lots of us in MAGA saw the folly in the Iraq War. DJT on 2016 debate stage called it a ‘big, fat mistake’. That Iraq War had Israel government’s finger prints all over it. Don’t make me link Bibi’s 2002 testimony before US Congress to press in the point. Now we arrive at Iran War. Trump would not have acted on Feb 28th if not for Mossad golden Intel that the Ayatollah and all his buddies were meeting where they were. And DJT would not have done this either, if not for Israel showing all its prowess and shiny toys during the 2025, 12-day war w/ Iran. Trump likes a winner, and Israel was showing all the signs of a winner.
Now that Iran’s military infrastructure is largely destroyed, all eyes are on Hormuz. There are 2 US ships now speedily sailing to the Gulf to resolve the Hormuz question. One is the USS H.W. Bush nuclear powered aircraft carrier. When it arrives late March, it will be the 3rd carrier in region. This is needed to provide continuous air protection for the USS Tripoli. The 2nd and perhaps more important ship is the USS Tripoli (2.5K Marines, and 25 F-35 jump jets aboard). This ship en route from Japan and also expected to be on-station by early April. Here’s a good video on this move:
If you're, if you're willing to hear a different opinion of what's really going on and what Trump is really doing on the world stage. You could start watching Prometheus action on YouTube.
I fell into the Israel is really running the US but now that I'm seeing the bigger picture I realize it's not true.
I’m always open to having my mind changed if I encounter superior logic. I long ago learned to preface argument language in my marriage with the phrase “In my current thinking….” It allows a crack in door for person (in my case wife!) to update my thinking if response makes more sense.
Thx for sharing, that’s beautiful to see. I noticed Finland came along first, before DJT’s ‘threat’. They have perhaps the most to lose sharing a border w/ Russia + a big contract w/ Trump to supply USA w/ icebreaker ships. I also saw article today that USS Ford had a not insignificant fire in laundry room, w/ enough damage that it needs to sail to EU for repairs. USS H.W. Bush may be on the way as a replacement.
This gentleman already says what I have been saying. I think the media figures like Megyn, Mark, Tucker, Fuentes, etc. who are beefing publicly are part of that agenda to demoralize the right enough to sit out the midterms and let the commies steal this country back and finish their plan to destroy it.
This is a spiritual battle, and I do not call the MSM the Malicious Satanic Media lightly. I think even the "independent" squawkers like those I named above are a part of it. They're chasing clicks over discernment and unity. It's not popular to say that because it doesn't seem rational, but we need to be emphasizing this because, obviously, the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was ... (you know the end of that).
Tucker came from generational wealth, power, and influence. He earned $15-25 million a year while with the MSM. He invested well and lives well beneath his means. Anyone suggesting he is or could be bought off simply doesn't know much about him.
I am sorry Lori, but the more I look into the current state of global affairs, it is looking more like MIGA has killed and assumed the identity of MAGA. I pray you are correct and I am mistaken.
We do pay more attention to Israel than any other country and I can't explain why except perhaps to say this is God's will? It is very odd to see consistently when compared to other countries.
It takes at least two to have a fight. If you are mocking & memeing then you are contributing to the infighting. If you stop your efforts the infighting will diminish, won't it?
"If you stop your efforts the infighting will diminish, won't it?"
No. It won't stop, because it benefits the Uniparty and their captured media to amplify these spats. The reason the Meme War brigade has been so effective is that a picture with snappy and funny point breaks through to the people on the sidelines watching this better than any think piece.
I am 72 years of age. I learned as a young boy playing sports that you "NEVER" bad-mouth or taunt your competitor. President Trump needs to stop calling Biden "Sleepy Joe". He continues to do so. Please stop!
The really difficult part is when the democrats, and those who just hate Trump and want him to fail, or other countries that want us to fail, interject into our discussions and communities posing as long time MAGA and long time Trump supporters. It’s like a shield, “I’m one of you so you have to be nice to me even if I’m insulting you in underhanded ways or planting false narratives.” Often they are very easy to spot by their rhetoric. Those are the ones I slap back because I know I am not punching right, but punching the liars and deceivers. And believe me, they have sent an army of imposters on every social media platform. Remember, they pay people to do it just like they pay protestors.
However, it is very sad to see how easily some of our strongest influencers among us were able to be “snowed” by them. So yes, sometimes one of our own starts sounding just like them, but they really are the minority and the polls reveal that. CNN’s own poll JUST showed that 89% of conservatives are in support of Trump and his Iran operation. So most of us are still quite bright and not led around by the nose by influencers they way they believe.
The enemy captured a few up high that influence many of us in an attempt to convert us, and now they are trying to spin that it’s been successful because we are divided. No … we are not. It did NOT work. Only in news reports and when one of the deceivers shows up in a community to make it appear that way. If anything it’s driving more of us into Trump’s lap. It says something when someone like him looks like the only adult in the room. 🤣
It’s painful to disagree with someone who you have agreed with on 90% of everything else, but doing so doesn’t make you stupid or foolish. Just because they were right on so much before does NOT mean they are right on this, or on Israel. Most likely it is they that are being easily manipulated themselves and that’s the crying shame of it all because we loved them.
I can love Megyn but adamantly disagree with her on this. I don’t see her behaving quite as offensively as some influencers are, accusing us of “loving pedos and baby killers” or “sucking Israel’s teat” or “blindly following a man that lied to us.” Those kind of comments reveal who the person REALLY is - and it’s not good. And most of the ugly being reported about Megyn is in the reporting itself, because it’s not quite as ugly in her podcast.
I can love Tucker and hate his stance on this as well as his recent handling of it. I strongly believe he lost the plot. He has made some grave mistakes. I can see his reactions as a defense of his character, which is his trigger. So I give him the benefit of the doubt. However he is not quite as vitriol as other top influencers have become, or even those who interview him. Again the reporting about him is worse than the actual context. Still he’s my biggest disappointment for his lack of remaining fair and balanced about Israel - and like I said it’s because character assassination triggered him.
But people like Candace? That’s where I draw the line. That’s downright vile and evil and if kicking one member on the right out of the circle is ever necessary it’s with someone like that.
Learn the signs of an imposter. Learn the signs of someone arguing in bad faith to plant lies and hate and smears wrapped in “understanding” and “agreement, but…” It’s always right there in the middle of their own words: the left’s narrative. Sometimes I get pulled into engaging with one of these manipulators and it does not matter what I say they NEVER thoughtfully consider my points and find a way to drive through the narrative they want everyone to swallow anyway. Just don’t engage with them. Wait for another person with the counter facts ready at their fingertips to post them. And if no one does it does not mean that manipulator was right about anything. They just want you to think it is. They are sitting in front of a screen, probably paid, with all the talking points ready at their fingertips. Most of us don’t do that. We have our guts, formed from all we have been exposed to on each side. Being unable to argue with them in a given moment is not a sign of anything.
"Those are the ones I slap back because I know I am not punching right, but punching the liars and deceivers. And believe me, they have sent an army of imposters on every social media platform. Remember, they pay people to do it just like they pay protestors."
THIS. I agree with every point you made but this is the one that is the one that should be the loudest. It's why the jokes and memes are so effective, too. You can try to debate logically, or you can send a zinger out that quickly breaks apart their argument and wakes up the people in the bleachers.
What did Candace Owens do to get on your bad side? Do you object to her conducting an investigation of Charlie Kirk's murder and TPUSAs dodgy financial deals?
I object to HOW she is doing it. I object to misrepresenting suspicions as facts. I object to attacking a widow without clear, absolute proof.
I object to her lying to Erika, and telling her she would stop if Erika asked. Erika didn’t at first. She kindly left Candace alone for a while, but then she needed to ask her to stop. Erika finally asked and in a kind manner. Immediately Candace said no and had an excuse ready. Then she started attacking Erika herself almost right away. Evil. Just plain cruel.
“TPUSAs dodgy financial deals” 🙄 I also object to this kind of spin presented in a “supposedly” innocent question. It’s planting something as if it’s a fact when it’s not. It’s conjecture, suspicion, and circumstantial.
Actually Juju, she is careful to use verified info. That way if they sue her, she can bring it all out in discovery in court. I agree CO can be ... brutal with her views, esp of EK (who she views as having betrayed CK), but the info she presents is true, even if we don't like the way she does it.
I have a feeling EK is going to bring down Vance if allowed to continue in the present manner. Don't know who put this up, but it happened 2 days after CK was killed https://www.vancekirk28.com/
Those "dodgy" TPUSA $$ - verified using their OWN documents.
Leah did several deep dives - shady as hell, esp that Sheridan woman, who took great advantage of CK - no wonder he wanted DOGE. You can check out her substack here
Yeah that IS shady/dodgy. Looks like CK was surrounded by some greedy people. As are ALL the charities and PACs out there. I wonder where this would fall in severity when laid beside all the other fraud other agencies have, especially democrats. Just one dollar taken dishonestly is too much, and I don’t condone it, but it is curious that this one gets the magnifying glass while all the others sail on by. Would the exposure be less sensationalized when compared to them?
HOWEVER … and a BIG however… one thing I’ve noticed in my life, as a Child of God, I can’t get away with ANYTHING other people can. I would be punished to the extreme even if it was just stealing a pack of gum while someone stealing a car would get off scott free. The difference would be that I claim to be God’s child, and he would discipline His child almost immediately while other thieves that are not heirs to His throne would have to wait for judgement day for their punishment, when it is too late.
So these people Leah has researched have claimed the throne, and that means laying their deception alongside those that don’t won’t save them. They are held to a higher standard by God Himself, so maybe that’s why this is seeing light while far worse offenders aren’t.
Thanks for the link to Leah. Will be reading more of her articles
Another however: no amount of truth that sees the light of day will ever excuse how Candace is doing it. No matter what her efforts bring forward and how true it is, her methods are as despicable as these “fundraiser” people Leah have revealed. Her actions show she forgot to remove the plank in her own eye …
Juju, 100% agree with you about being a child of God and held to a higher standard. I can't do things like that either. My hubby is always amused at how I am so shocked how people act- he has a wonderful eye for character and spots them easily; I tend to give people too much credit.
I think Leah said the out right missing money is $10-$15 million missing, and no telling how much mis-spent/applied.
It doubly pisses me off when people are given grace and then use that as an opening to steal from people who helped them. I didn't figure out who the S. woman was until later- apparently, CK ran into her crying in the apartment hallway, (because they were broke and her husband was very sick). CK helped them get current on rent & stuff, got them medical help then gave her a job with full benefits to help them. Now she's in pictures beside EK at funerals, etc; all the while her made up companies are pulling millions from TPs pockets. You recall the tv show TJHooker with the Shat? She was the bouncy blonde then- guess she was a better actress then we thought. Some thanks, huh?
AI disagrees with you when you write: "CNN’s own poll JUST showed that 89% of conservatives are in support of Trump and his Iran operation."
As of March 2026, roughly 40% of American voters support Donald Trump's military action against Iran, while a 53% majority opposes it. Support is heavily partisan, with 85% of Republicans favoring the action, compared to only 7% of Democrats and roughly 31% of independents.
Key insights on public opinion regarding the conflict include:
Opposition Majority: Multiple polls show most Americans oppose the military action, with a 56% disapproval rate in some surveys.
Republican Support: While 85% of Republicans support the overall action, a narrower 54% majority of Republicans support continuing strikes.
Independent Disapproval: Independents largely oppose the war, with 60% against military action.
Ground Troops: A strong majority of voters—roughly 74%—oppose sending U.S. ground troops into Iran.
Generational Divide: Among Trump voters, support is more muted among younger cohorts, with 18-29 year olds supporting the war by a much narrower margin compared to older, staunch supporters.
Polls indicate deep concerns about the conflict, including fears of it leading to a terrorist attack within the U.S. and causing higher oil prices.
Ai stinks. Here’s right from CNN’s own mouth where I heard it. 89% approve. Now you can break out all sorts of DIFFERENT polls, like continuing strikes etc., but that isn’t what my reply said. My reply is accurate as I typed it.
TDS has a foil character in the modern American culture, I will call it the Trump Messiah Complex, TMS. Where NOTHING that Trump does can EVER be wrong, and as Jeff coined, TAW.
Trump doesn't always WIN. He is human, just like the rest of us here.
Honestly, if I had to choose between our affliction of TMS or TAW or your affliction of TDS? I’d take ours in a heartbeat. It’s soooooo much more FUN and positive. I couldn’t last 24 hours with TDS 🤣
There really are no other choices. You either choose to support him and trust your judgement of voting for him, and enjoy the many wins so far, or you choose to distrust him and doubt every word and step he takes and work to make others doubt him too. Ick. I’ll stick with trusting Trump, in all his flawed humanness. The alternative is soul crushing.
Here is proof positive that two people can both be right, but because of perspective. Have you ever heard about the five blind men touching different parts of an elephant and arguing about what their tactile perception is telling them is in front of them?
You cite a "Kosher" person on X, with a video link to what appears to be a CNN broadcast at some unknown point in time, that says "Among MAGA Republicans 89% approve," but like all propaganda, the devil is in the details. We do not know how many "MAGA Republicans" were surveyed, when, or anything. They could have asked 20 hard-core, self-described MAGA Republicans and very slanted, deceptive questions. We don't know, because the question was not revealed, like any other statistical data. This is possibly even a Deep Fake, who knows. Not saying it is, but it has way too many red flags to be interpreted as 89% of Americans approve TODAY of the war in Iran. AI may stink. It isn't perfect, but in general, is way more reliable than this one "Kosher" X hyperlink. I would say CNN stinks, but MSNBC (and now CBS) is worse. Mainstream Corporate Media is just a cesspool of propaganda. I thought you and the majority of CC subscribers would have learned that?
It wasn’t just one post 🤣🤣 I actually watched it live and then saw a bunch of posts headlining it. I also saw other polls showing similar. CNN JUST released one that showed Trump has a 100% approval rating among MAGA. Believe me, they are the LAST news agency that would admit that if it weren’t true. MAGA is not fracturing. Yes, you’re seeing the elephants whiskers and I’m looking at which way the right foot is pointed.
We quote this CNN poll because they and MSNBC have been known to be the biggest liars and feed lies wrapped as polls. So if the least trusted among us are saying this, that says something. And I guarantee you they didn’t seek out the most hardcore MAGA supporters in a cluster to do the poll. Tell me what kind of deep fake that would be? 😂 Dems are completely incapable of giving us a single win, in anything.
But you’re assuming I’m a glassy-eyed nymph jumping at anything positive I can find and ignoring the negatives. I am not. What I am certain of is Trump’s base is not defecting, except for the Tucker/Candace Owens/Massie/MTG fans. They are the ONLY ones fracturing our party but it’s a teeny tiny fracture because the rest of the adults in the room understand the importance of sticking together right before midterms.
I can’t remember now as this convo has been a long one, but I think that was our initial argument? That MAGA is in a shambles? I’d have to go back and reread … but I know all the polls are showing it’s anything but. Quite the opposite.
Call it whatever you want, but Trump has earned our undying support. We didn’t just hand it over freely. It. Was. Earned. We see a mistake here and there and have sane minds to balance it against the rest. We don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. That’s not a messiah complex 🙄🙄 And the fact that this is what you read looking at the elephant is more worrisome than anything we read.
Well if the world's biggest liars and propagandists are saying it, it must be true.
Well we can simply agree to disagree.
If MAGA hasn't fractured, it is because so many have simply exited the room. Too many are waking up to the Truth. It isn't Right vs Left, it is the Elite and Deep State, the billionaire class vs everyone else. Many Israeli people and New Yorkers, and Philidephians simply call them Goy. That's me. Probably you too.
Happy birthday 🎂 in a couple weeks or days. You gotta be an Aries ♈️. No doubt, tell me i am at least correct on that point. Argue or debate long enough, there has to be some common ground.
Just kindly consider this, if your enemy knew of a fatal flaw or break in cohesive group think 6 months ahead of a vital election, does it make strategical sense to point that out, so we have time to repair a Crack or a Great Divide? Or is it wiser to feed them false statistics and polls to keep them thinking their house is in order. Keep them patting each other on the back, until it is too late?
You can trust CNN. I will trust my eyes, ears, mind, and heart.
Thanks for not resorting to slurs and name calling on this umpteenth reply.
I mean this, keep your eyes open, and please keep your mind open. You are too smart to lose to propaganda.
I’m outta here for today, and thought I’d place this up top because I’ve ruffled several anti-Trump/fake MAGA feathers today and they are waiting for me to respond to all their efforts to pull me into an argument with them that I just don’t have time for. Are these people paid? I’m supposed to sit here and gather all my citations and resources and tediously lay it all out for them as a rebuttal? They can do it themselves. I did! I have a life to get to, and no more time to swat these annoying gnats flying around in here.
To my real C&C friends: Reread Jeff’s article again before leaving after reading the comments, to recalibrate and shower yourself in his optimism again that the comment section tries so hard to soil.
(I’ve flung my share of insults too tho 😬 - quite a few! But never at someone who didn’t strike first. Often their insults are buried within a LOT of words as they peddle the anti-Trump perspectives. Maybe they aren’t even aware of it assuming it’s a widely accepted insult or something. They always reveal themselves. They just can’t help it. And they clearly are not here for the same reasons we are. If they are repeating the leftist talking points (which can be derived from all sorts of social media, not just by watching CNN,) it’s clear they are hyper-fixated on breaking our camaraderie and planting seeds of doubt, killing Jeff’s optimism. So an insult might slip out of me and nick them in the back side. 🤣)
I'm a member of a very MAGA friendly site. Where once there was complete MAGA unity, there is now many anti-MAGA commentors. I'm beginning to think this site has been infiltrated. I could probably prove this theory by counting the number of new members posting anti-MAGA, but I'm not sure this "evidence" would sway anybody or be worth the effort. I do plan to non-renew when my subscription expires. The way things are going, Coffeeandcovid may end up being my only MAGA refuge soon.
I also wonder about a CNN poll showing 90% MAGA support for the Iran war. I'm wonder if they faked that poll results just to placate MAGA into not fighting back. Obviously, I don't have any trust in CNN.
We should definitely speak up when our representatives make the wrong choices. What are we, a cult?
I have noticed even here that if someone says something that the self-appointed Guardians Of MAGA don't like, they use insults and grand pronouncements of banishment, instead of words (Use your words! as we tell 2 year olds).
Did Thune really always have a secret plan? Or did he respond to constituents writing letters of disapproval?
Is Trump really caving to Bibi? Or is he carrying out the "7 countries in 5 years" plan?
Is al Jazerra really all that? I have looked at them with a skeptical eye since Hillary Clinton praised them back in the "Let's destroy Libya and Syria" days.
And now Libya is a terrorist-infested hellhole, and Syria is run by an al Qaeda leader who is slaughtering Christians and Alawites.
Al Jazerra is a Qatar owned news site. Qatar is the main sponsor of Hamas and ISIS, not Iran. They are not supporters of a peaceful middle east.
Qatar hosts an American base that Iran attacked. They are not neutral. They are kept in power by the US, so of course they are cheering for the destruction of Iran.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. There is so much history and gray matter...it's not a blk n wht issue for sure so for example people thinking it's Trump bending to Israel are naive in the matter. I tend to read as much material out there and comprehend all the complexities, and it is mind boggling complex.
Everything we see in the news is designed to divide, rage bait, blame, gaslight, disrespect, insult and deceive. Yet people willingly take the bait every time.
There is absolutely nothing new coming from the media. Noting intelligent, useful or trustworthy. Their regurgitated excrescence is as dumbfounding as it is hysterical. They couldn't be less irrational. They oppose creativity, reality and free thinking.
Hilariously ironic is the joke is on them.
They bow down to the oligarch patriarchal straight WHITE MEN who own the publications and pay their salaries. For all their silly rage, they are the ones who worship at the feet of their billionaire bosses by toeing the line.
" Does the SAVE Act show buy Trump time and space to do what he needs to do in the war? Behind everything are another couple million pages of Epstein files, and a rapidly unfolding nationwide fraud scandal." What I think most people are not noticing is as the big noisy news articles are keeping everyone focused on one thing or another. the processes that have been started are still running. I saw something the other day that claimed Trump has quit deporting people, nope, it just got quieter. I also saw people claiming Noem got fired, nope she got moved someplace else, as a distraction for the crowds who hated and blamed her.
A good stage magician uses misdirection to cover their actual actions, and between that misdirection and the amazing job the administration is doing to keep their actual plans quiet, there's a LOT going on besides the shitshow of media is screaming.
I watch things go by, and pattern it, and the pattern is still running totally consistent. There is a plan. I don't know exactly where the final outcome of it will be, I can say the pattern is consistent, and advancing in a coherent direction, despite all the screaming obscuring it.
Things are getting done neatly and precisely, and in a definite order.
And sometimes Trump's public role in it is agitator and distraction.
This is how I feel. Reality is inevitably messier than campaign promises. But what has been happening is stunningly coherent compared to other administrations. Some of us remember.
YES!! Something that annoys me is the "he's not doing it perfectly!" commentary... Compared to WHO? And he has a more complex agenda than most previous presidents have ever even considered, with a less useful congress than I think we have ever had. They are not looking at the baseline performance of the previous holders of the office, they are looking at something mythical in their own minds, and saying he doesn't measure up.
Janice, what a timely post! We are in this portion of Jeremiah right now in my women's Bible study. And I need to get off of here and go, as our study is starting soon.
Hope and pray you are doing well in your recovery.
Doing ok although existing on poor sleep. Also I almost had a heart attack when I saw what the provider billed insurance for my 23 platinum coils, anesthesia, and an overnight hospital stay: $527,000. Thank God for good insurance. My part is zero. Thank you for asking! As my mom liked to say with a chuckle, “I’m in pretty good shape for the shape I’m in.”
I am glad you are getting along - will continue to pray about the sleep issue. I get it about the hospital bill - had a surgery for which they used the daVinci robot. I did not know that the hospital charged by the MINUTE for that robotic surgery. Things did not go as planned - a 2 hour-ish surgery turned into over 7 hours. I understand the almost-heart attack! My insurance company initially rejected paying the bill, despite pre-approving the whole thing. Eventually, I got it sorted out, but good grief.
I wanted to pick up trash along a highway that is next to my community.
Well, I had already done it, but what I really wanted were the free orange trash bags so that my husband didn’t have to haul off the trash that I had already collected and bagged, and instead I could leave them on the side of the road for Caltrans. 😂
So I tried to contact someone to figure out what I needed to do to officially pick up trash.
I received a 10 paragraph letter back, with 14 attachments of forms and information . Also. told that I needed to do between two hours to one day safety training .
Sooooo you can live on the side of the feeeway in California, but you can’t pick up trash …
And they’re worried about barriers of entry to VOTE 🤣
OMG. And I suppose you would have had to pay for your own orange safety vest and bump cap 🙄 purchased from their approved supplier who is twice as expensive as anyone else.
I hope folks don't speed read today's post, because there are a lot of truisms from Jeff here. This war is grayer than gray, yet so many commenters are still in black and white mode. Nothing is what it seems, but self righteous indignation, and worse, absolutely certainty about what is really true have taken over the comments. Probably time to step back and let our own Megyns and Marks have at it, because I know enough to know I don't know squat about what is really going on now.
Torrance, the goalposts have been moved time and time again. We were supposed to be in and out and have a quick regime change with the people rising up. Yet instead, Iran keeps hammering away with missiles, the strait is not open, and no end is yet in sight.
Relax. It’s been two WEEKS. And if Candace Owens is anyone’s source for anything —- well? What can I say? The woman is a Jew hating antisemite. Hers is not just an opinion.
So you are saying a fascist theocratic government yelling death to Israel, death to America is just memes and soap opera while they fund Hamas and Hezbollah?
Show me where Israel used firing squads to kill protesters? Iran had motor cycle riding IRGC members ride through the protesters shooting them. With 30,000 Iranians killed, that is Islamic fascist theocratic genocide. The Muslim Brotherhood, who uses Shariah law to justify terrorism, is a form of theocratic genocide. That is spilling over in the US through terrorism like that in Austin, Texas. The shooter, Ndiaga Diagne, killed two people and injured 14 others while wearing clothing with Islamic symbols, prompting an investigation into potential terrorist motives. You have everything turned around as usual.
Yesterday, on Candace Owen's show, she ran videos of Netanyahu from the 1996 on saying the same thing - **Iran is one week, one month, one blah, blah, away from producing a nuclear weapon.**. It was hilarious.
True. I would even say we were never provided an accurate description of goals and aims up front. But I will refrain my judgement to proffer my evaluation when the dust settles. The position provided by media for example is suspect.
This is exactly what I needed to read today. Thank you. I could not wait for C&C to come out as I was hoping it would be the much needed balm for my soul this morning and I was not disappointed. There has been so much noise around all the conservative infighting and who's a traitor that it leaves you feeling deflated. I saw on my conservative moms board this morning that they were viciously tearing into each other and it made me sad. I didn't like or comment on anything because to be honest, I don't know the right answer here. I just don't. There's no way I could have enough geopolitical perspective to know if this invasion was right or if there are traitors among us or whatever. I just don't know. This perspective is exactly what I needed. It is a very much needed reminder that our enemies are working their hardest to sow division. Our most important job right now is to not let them. I hope everyone can take a breath and remember that.
What’s sad (and telling, frankly,) are all the posts by people who either did not read Jeff’s article thoroughly at all and came with the intention to plop down their preferred narrative, or they didn’t consider his words after reading or give it any potential credence because they are so blinded by their Israel hate and the narrative they have swallowed. I imagine crazed eyes as they reply, either that or a cha-ching as they cash their Soros check for their work to divide us despite what Jeff has laid out.
Frankly don’t read Jeff’s Substack if you don’t want a positive twist on issues because a positive upbeat “what if” or “think of it this way” is what you are going to get. If you want to argue it to death then just don’t read it and go somewhere else to read and debate the negative side of everything .. which won’t be hard to find as it’s everywhere. We here on C & C are here because we want to see the positive side and even though you have right to debate everything frickin thing Jeff says, it’s not fun to read it because it reinforces the negative which we all know. So is your goal to divide us with counter narratives which we are all aware of? We all know the opposing views but we are on C & C to hear something different to ponder.
I played football in college and for a short time in the NFL. I heard Jerry Kramer(Guard for Green Bay Packers) say once, "Hit or get hit." I am a quick learner and I found more success on being the one giving the hit vs. on the receiving end. President Trump is being the "hitter" and avoiding being hit first. Iran will not comply with any agreement.
That is retarded DS. This isn't a football game - this is people's life or death. Trump disregarded his own intel agencies and instead did the bidding of Israel, yet again, and has completely trashed MAGA to the point of no return.
Your words display that of a Democrat. Name calling. If someone doesn't agree with your opinion then call them a name. Now I know what it means when others have written about trolls. I stated my opinion. You don't have to agree with it. But don't get into the name-calling if you don't agree with someone else. I respect your opinion. I am asking you to respect mine.
Yeah, that'd be the explanation for why even Joe Kent back in 2020 told Trump how dangerous Iran was and especially why other presidents were too chicken to stop Iran. And why Trump has been saying the same thing about Iran for about 38 years now. Because Israel.
I share that thought. I wonder why he doesn't. He is way too smart not to have noticed the significant damage that it's been doing to people...the injuries, the deaths. So I believe something bigger is at play here.
This is speculation but I wonder, given how good he is at convincing people to make deals that redound to him and his agenda, if the reason he has not yet publicly denounced the shots has given him the space to make other things happen like the most favored nation drug pricing or getting some vaccines off the childhood schedule. Since he, more than Democrats will ever know, is aware that he's not King, he has to play his cards deftly and make the most of them. ?????
yes! That is what I think as well. There's a bigger picture here we are not seeing. I've been watching him work for several years now (mostly thanks to C&C for helping me see it!) and in connecting the dots you see how genius many of his chess moves are. Once you start seeing what he's doing then it seems very plausible he's got a plan here too. Look at how much he was howling about the supremes canceling his tariff dashboard. Meanwhile he had a plan for that the whole time. But he needs his enemies to think he's truly upset about it.
Exactly right on the nose. They can say what they want but Trump is always 10 steps ahead and what they say is chaos, turns out to be the next big win. 🏅
Jen, he can’t say the jab was a disaster. He touted it for so long and it was like the emperor had no clothes and nobody would tell him. Btw, I’m maga all the way
I hold onto my key values no matter what propaganda our rulers are spewing.
We are a quarter of a century into the 21st century, and the US has attacked 10 countries (or more) since it started, using a different excuse each time. "Terrorism, WMD, killing their own people, drug lords, unprovoked invasion (oh, the irony of that one!, and stopping a nuclear weapon." I may have forgotten some of the slogans.
I don't have to parse each excuse to reject the immorality of attacking another country, destroying their infrastructure, killing their children, and stealing their resources.
It's just wrong on a fundamental level. If we wouldn't do it as individuals, what makes it OK as a country? Nothing, that's what. I don't kill or steal or destroy my neighbor's property, I don't want my country doing it either, and I sure reject the group think of patriotism and the cries of "Traitor!" if I hold onto morals.
Good points, but suppose your neighbor moved in and kidnapped your kids (but gave them back after a year), set a bomb off at the local school, killed several police officers over the course of years, financed violent local drug gangs, and was trying to get nuclear powered robot attack dogs? Would you consider taking violent action to free your neighborhood of this menace?
In America, we have police and courts to deal with neighbors like that. Wells Fargo no longer has to have guards with shotguns riding along with their delivery coaches, the way they used to.
I get your point, but you are assuming that your rulers are not lying to you, which is a very naive assumption.
Plus, you are assuming that the US has the right to go around the world, nowhere near our neighborhood, and attack other people, kill their kids, bomb their police stations, finance, arm and train violent terrorists to attack them, and use depleted uranium on them, poisoning them and their children for many generations.
Everything you said is what the US does. No one so far has been brave enough to take on the US, so we get away with it. But Iran has no more f**ks to give and they are fighting back.
I'd like to suggest you check out Prometheus Action Update on YouTube. Their explanation of the geopolitical moves that Trump is achieving is very encouraging.
That Senators aren’t motivated to pass the Save America Act by fear of what an angry and hostile American public will do to them if they don’t secure fair and legal elections is the real story here. We the People get the government we deserve. Clearly, Senators don’t fear, nor respect, the voting public and are acting as if they can continue to cheat with no consequences. They cheat, they know we know they cheat, they lie about cheating and they know we know they lie about it. Yet they still do it. Whether or not this Act passes is a defining moment in American history.
And yet, time and time again we fail to vote these politicians out of office, so no wonder they do not have any respect for their constituents. We have a nursing home full of politicians that only represent their interests and corporate lobbyists.
We may have in fact voted some of these out of office… but how would we know if the elections have been manipulated via electronic voting machine “adjustments” and fraudulent mail in ballots made possible by dirty voter rolls?
The thing about electronic voting is that they rely on programming an application and anything with programming can be manipulated to produce whatever results you want. Even with paper ballots fed through, how do you know it’s correct without a count of the ballots? You don’t.
We should have paper ballots that are counted physically, if only to confirm an electronic count. 1 day only. Non of this mail in crap (other than limited circumstances and requested for each election) and no early voting.
AND election polling places and vote counting should be a patriotic duty, like Jury Duty. Random selection. None of this partisan, political machine nonsense that allows them to manipulate counts and bring in mass ballot dumps. We need honest, everyday Americans to take part in the process and hold the process accountable.
My husband, (Mr. RW) put in a 13 hour shift last election day, to hold them accountable. I'm not sure that him physically being there did much, but I'm proud of him for doing it.
I participated in my county's post-election board a couple of times. We (representatives of each party on the ballot) had a one day training, and then did a physical ballot count of ballot lots that had been pulled and sealed on election day. There were sealed lots of mail in ballots, as well.
They always matched, the hand count and the tally. There are- or, were, don't know about now- systems that function(ed) seemingly well. My experience was in the 2000's. Could have been garbage then, could be garbage now.
I heard a commentator on a radio show say 94% of all sitting politicians get re-elected.no change means no change. Term limits should be part of the SAVE act.
Absolutely! But they won’t end their grift. This would probably have to be done in a constitutional referendum ballot initiative. And congressional pensions and continued perks should be eliminated. As should insider trading. And Cadillac medical coverage.
Wasn’t it RINO Collins that said she was going to quit after 2 terms? She lied. Too many benefits and financial gains for people that remain in office.
When Senators and Congress people get favorable legislation passed, bring grants/money back to their states, voters tend to forgive or at least overlook.
Not at all surprised Al Jazeera is a more reliable source than our MSM. I have used them in the past, though not lately. I routinely go to RT, and in the past, Iran's Press TV. This goes back 15 years at least. Few people in this country realize just how unfree the US MSM has been for a long time, not just since covid. For anyone ho has read the must read "Diary of an Economic Hitman", John Perkins finds out , much to his surprise, that Indians in downtown nowhere in the Amazon, and students in Indonesians in Java, knew more about what really happened on 9/11 than Americans.
Alternative media is getting stronger every day now. One I like for Iran news is Tousi.tv on utube he covers some other things/areas, but mostly Iran. Al Jazeera has it's uses as well.
I do miss the ease of just flipping a channel and getting "all the most important news bits" before we realized just how corrupt the western media had become; but then, if something is worth having, it's worth working for it.
You are so right. I follow ‘Intel Slava’ on Telegram and it’s amazing how current and accurate that information is regarding both wars: Ukraine/Russia and USA-Israel/Iran. It’s a good source…but hard to keep up with all the postings.
To wit about Jeff's oh so correct "watch what Trump does, not what he says". this article details the genius of Trump is being unreadable. I am not a poker player , but I know the thing professionals hate most is being with a newbie at the table, because since the newbie doesn't know what they are doing, there is no way to read them.
Murkowski is the top reason that I no longer donate to the National Republican Senatorial Committee. If you do give them money, you are helping them protect the RINO's.
Yup, same here. I’ve emailed her almost every day. I received ONE disgusting BS reply where she cherry picks her decisions and supports her own stupid agenda, which is NOT the agenda that’s best for the country or our beautiful state of Alaska. Shame on her. Her statement that the SAVE America Act would disenfranchise the majority of this state is simply false. The majority of our state lives in Anchorage, and those in rural areas have easy access to voting. Native papers serve as proof of citizenship, and they vote in their villages (otherwise she would not be in office, between the native population she makes empty promises to, who actually wrote her in when she lost the primary, and the democrats who put her as their 2nd choice, hence giving her the seat over Kelly Tschibaka last time). Hopefully we get rid of her in 2028 and we can keep Sullivan this year… he may not be perfect but he’s not Mary Peltola… UGH!. Jan in Alaska
So disappointed you can’t see the Israeli elephant in the room for what it is, an exploiter and subversive influence solely concerned with themselves. Shockingly all the tropes from the past are proving correct. And how do you ignore the baby sacrifice Epstein emails? Doesn’t matter if it’s the R’s or D’s, their tentacles are entrenched. Trump made a terrible error in attacking Iran. He betrayed us for the little hats that surround him.
We can argue until the cows come home whether the US is Israel's puppet or vice versa. But it is Iran who has yoked, apparently successfully, Israel and the US. For 47 years.
When did Iran attack the US? Through proxy groups, sure, but that is the exact same thing the US has done for decades, as well as outright wars and ground assaults in the middle east. But yeah, they are the threat. Put yourself in their shoes.
I cannot put myself in their shoes. My mind does not work like that. And to be clear I am referencing the Ayatollahs and their rabid brethren. And proxies. But it is disingenuous, very, very, very disingenuous, to act as if an attack by a proxy is just water under the bridge. That being said I absolutely think that much was done post-WWII by so-called "intelligence" agencies that has been very detrimental to the US' standing and reputation. I just do not deceive myself that those who use that excuse to justify asymmetrical hostilities (terrorism) are ethical. That is just a race to the bottom.
Who is terrorizing who? Has Iran attacked the US? Has Iran built bases all around our country? Has Iran assassinated leaders of ours and high military officials? Did they attack us in the middle of negotiations (which is a war crime)? Would Iran have ever attacked any US assets if we weren't spread all over the globe? Why does the US support despots all over the Middle East, but at the same time say we can't allow similar despots in a country like Iran?
This is just silly. US bases around the world are built by agreement with sovereign nations. Attacks on US bases are attacks on the US. And there have been many by Iran. Your position would give Iran what it wants - complete control of the Middle East. Iran has placed bounties on and threatened the lives of several US officials. And it routinely threatens Iranians living abroad. The US Commander-in-Chief gave Iran a deadline. It was ignored. Additionally, back to my comment that started your foolishness Israel was going to act, whether we wanted it to or not. Because IRAN VIEWS THE US AND ISRAEL AS A COMMON ENEMY, and has repeatedly attacked the US in the past it was logical tp assume it would retaliate once again against the US. Hell it is retaliating against all Middle East nations which do not tow its radical party line. How you continue to try to justify this is beyond me. Lastly that war crime thing is indeed rich. There is no longer any concept of civilized war. Largely because of Iran's asymmetrical acts. Civilized war which recognizes the existence of "war crimes" is based on symmetrical conflict. What Iran, under the Ayatollahs, does is just plain old common terrorism. Their goal is nuclear terrorism. And all of this, combined with the Free Palestine BS, is rapidly eroding regard for fledgling "international law".
Pro tip- don't waste your time regurgitating permanent state propaganda. I don't waste my time reading it. I've heard it all for decades, and yet, the evil Iranians still haven't wiped anyone off the map. The US supports and has developed literal terrorist groups. You need to do some homework/learn some history.
Not sure why people feed the trolls here CStone. Maybe they don't pay close enough attention to patterns of commentors. There are a handful that I pass by and I see that mostly others do the same. Learning curve I guess.
You are in for a big shocker then when we refuse to vote. We, who are sick of ALL the lies, see clearly. And I am a born again Christian. Our government is in the business of lying to its citizens. We are done.
I know a lot of born-again Christians who refuse to vote, since forever.
As a matter of fact, that is who Trump was talking to when he called on them to "Just vote this one time and you'll never have to do it again", which statement the Dems turned into a "He said that he will stop future elections" claim.
You are aligned with allies of al Qaeda. Bloomberg reports "The US has encouraged Syria to consider sending forces into eastern Lebanon to help disarm Hezbollah, ...". The people we have been told are responsible for 9/11 control Syria. Iran/Hezbollah have yet to attack the US.
That absolutely blows my mind that people who have been conditioned for 25 years to hate al Qadea have no problem with an al Qaeda leader running Syria!
What the actual? People who profess to be Christian, and can easily be worked up to rage over Nigeria, have no problem with Christians in Syria being wiped out?
No problem with al Julani being feted at the White House?
It shows the power of the media, imo. Or maybe the cult.
This reminds me of a quote from Downton Abbey when the Dowager Countess (Maggie Smith) asked Isobel “Does it ever get cold on that moral high ground?” 😍
There have been Christians in Syria since Paul converted on the road to Damascus.
There is a town called Maaloula that still speaks Aramaic, the language of Jesus.
I'm not sure if they have been wiped out now, though. They were attacked by US-sponsored terrorists back in 2014, then the Syrians and Russians rescued them, but now?
I am not. Although I acknowledge that the US government has made strange alliances in the Middle East (and elsewhere) and I question the wisdom thereof. The enemy of my enemy is my friend thing rings hollow to me. Iran, through its proxies have attacked US bases, ships for years.
You know why. But for the benefit of any who genuinely may not, because that was the first Ayatollah's slogan during the revolution and it continues to this day. When somebody or some entity shows you who they are or it is believe it. https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2015/9/20/who-is-the-great-satan
I remember as a child, of having the drills to hide under our desks, because... the big, bad Soviets were going to nuke us. I always wondered how my desk would help me??? Because of that Cold War that we had to be constantly fear mongered with, came all the subsequent lies about how we were beating the Russians. The USSR sent the first astronaut up and man....what a load of horse manure followed. Sure, we landed on the moon! Take that USSR! Sure we did. In '69 and we can't get there in 2026 apparently.
I remeber well. I grew up in their third target city. But this is apples and oranges. The USSR had a standing military force. Conflict with them would have involved symmetrical warfare. They recognized rules of engagement and were not motivated by martyrdom.
We have survived as a nation. But too many have died and been injured at their hands. I am glad to have a Commander-in-Chief who sees them as they are.
And you are entitled to your opinion. Mine is that anyone who references my country as "the Great Satan" is my enemy and the enemy of my country. And I think the concept of civilized warfare is a joke. A very bad joke. It was rendered a mockery by the Ayatollahs and their never ending campaign(s) of terror.
Lynne, in the past 50 years, what country has killed, maimed, and displaced more citizens (by far) than any other country? I'll give you a hint - it isn't Iran.
Look, Israel right or wrong will always be around and always trying to do what is best for their country from their perspective, right or wrong from the world at large perspective. I don't trust Bibi and his admin but it is what it is. God has Israel's back (at least the citizens, not sure about Bibi and his admin) so we might as well get used to it. If you read Revelation, the Jews play a very key piece at end times. It is all unfolding precisely how it always was meant to play out as we head closer to end times. And we ain't seen nothing yet. Just read the Old Testament in full to show the power of God the Father's wrath. God has the last word on all this and so be it.
Revelation warns that there is no place to hide for Jews during the tribulation. **Woe to woman who is pregnant.** Israel turned to other gods and goals all through the OT. God has turned his face for their rejection. Israel was only ever to look for God for its protection, no other entity. They pay the price. In Daniel, there is a very clear indication THE being called anti-Christ is a jew. Of course they are anti-Christ, no? Anyone who reject's God's plan for human salvation of saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, has the spirit of anti-Christ. God is indeed full of wrath. Watch it play out.
I couldn't let this one pass and to be clear, I'm hard right wing (far to the right of Trump) and frequently criticize the administration. It seems you're not aware that many, if not most of those 3 million Epstein files are just raw FBI data. Meaning, schizo insane guy contacts the FBI that he has information about babies being cannibalized on Epstein Island so FBI (as required) takes down what he says. There's a file. They know he's crazy but they have to note it anyway. You're taking that 'information' to be a real thing which obviously it's not. You need to have discernment and employ critical thinking at all times. Don't be like the lunatic whose files you're reading.
Jeffrey is asking if you can Fedex the painting he had made of the Massacre of the Innocents to the ranch. It's the large 9'x9' canvas that we had rolled out for him to see in the entry way where they are killing babies. He wants to use it on the ranch and is hoping you could Fedex it to arrive by Wednesday?
I cannot agree with your statement. It is limiting Trump’s actions to your perception. A bigger picture is to keep your friends close, enemies closer. I cannot think that Trump does not know who and what the Israeli government is. Strategically, it is to eliminate one enemy at a time. Iran has been a festering wound for decades. If we keep the policy of non-interference, then that wound turns into a Mersa infection. The problem with Mersa, is it can become systemic infecting the whole body. We can see Iran’s influence in many different countries. And their deeds are not magnanimous; rather nefarious. Trump ripped the bandage off and is cleaning the festering wound. We are preparing for the Golden Age. Do you think these countries can do this by themselves? How can World Peace be achieved when there are strangleholds on the populations of the world? I am for the routing out of the existing evil structures. Only then can the wound heal.
I love Jeff and the C&C blog/community for the most part. His stance on Israel has me scratching my head tho fr. He's either not as intelligent as I thought (doubtful), he's a communized “Judeo-Christian” boomer (e.g. mass MK Ultra manufactured Z1onist), or he's part of a Psyop/military operation to keep up the ruse during Tel Aviv’s annihilation looking like we are BFFs with Israel. Fog of war?
Wow all potential insults. Not one option for “he might be right” because hey, it’s still possible. But you won’t acknowledge that. And that was wrapped in “I love Jeff and C&C…but”
Tucker didn’t see it for years, which also baffled me. But now he does.
What seems to work well is when I read something or hear something that raises a flag, I simply look to see if they’re a chosen person. It’s shocking how often that turns out to be so. If they were Chinese or Mormon or apart of an identifiable group, I’d say it the same.
To the amazing C&C army:
Heather, Cody’s mom, as well as myself, have been moved to tears at the generosity of this community.
God bless all of you who donated and all of you that gave my comment of yesterday a “like” so that many more would see it.
https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/gatekeepers-tuesday-march-17-2026/comment/229112794?r=ul1zh&utm_medium=ios
We serve an amazing God.
Cody continues to struggle. Yesterday, he was hoping to be released from the hospital, but his red blood cell count plummeted.
A plea from Heather:
https://x.com/amothersanthem/status/2034229406915338557?s=46
Please keep Cody and his family in your thoughts and prayers.
Helping the severely Covid vaccine-injured like Cody SHOULD BE the Number One priority of our government which wrongly encouraged/mandated Americans to take these experimental, dangerous jabs in the first place!
God bless Cody, his mom Heather, and all of you who care.
Tom - Amen my friend!
Double Amen.
🙏🙏🙏 for Cody and his family
Sadly covid-vaccine-injuries are unlikely to ever be #1 priority for USG, but fortunately helping with such injuries is #1 for React19 ( https://react19.org/ ), which might be able to provide some assistance. And as you note, prayers blessing those involved are a key ingredient -- will be keeping them in my T&P.
John - Heather is very close to Bree Dressan from React19. Their funds go to so many of the vax injured. God bless this organization.
Thanks, good to hear, and "God bless this organization."
🙏 for Cody and all his family
Lord Jesus place a hedge of protection around Cody and his family. Heal him according to your perfect will and bring peace to their souls. Amen
Amen Jamie.
Amen
Amen... AND AMEN!
All Praise and Glory to our Gracious and Merciful FATHER!
PLEADING THE HEALING, SOOTHING, COMFORTING BLOOD OF JESUS OVER CODY...FROM THE TOP OF HIS HEAD TO THE SOLES OF HIS FEET
AND OVER HIS MOM AND THEIR LOVED ONES❣️
Amen
“Give ear to my prayer, O God, and do not hide Yourself from my supplication.” Psalm 55:1
Praying for Cody.
Amen Marlene.
Grateful for your prayers.
Laura, is there a way to find out how much was raised yesterday after you posted? So glad so many wanted to help in whatever way they could.
SHug - Heather told me that so far, just under $4k has come in. So yes, our C&C army has made a difference. But moving is such a huge expenditure not to mention the medical bills. 😢
Heather has been moved to tears and is beyond grateful. As am I.
That is totally amazing, thanking GOD!! Wow! My good news for the day. 💞
I wouldn’t mind knowing if CnC made a difference yesterday, either! Good question!
No matter the cause, we always add a “2” to our donations…sort of a (not so) secret shout out to our C&C peeps! ❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻🤗
This wasn’t an official “CnC multiplier” so I didn’t know to do that. Still, so awesome to see Gods people have tender hearts! Amazing, in my view.
Jeff, could you make Cody the ficus of a multiplier effort? Hes not raising enough. Come on Jeff, PLEASE😁😁😁👍❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Rather, FOCUS....lol
Marlene - see my reply to SHug
I do, and will:
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
Praying for this family. The injustice of this all is paralyzing and I pray they can lean into Him when the battle gets overwhelming.
Thank you Kim. Their faith is abiding. It has what has seen them through this injustice.
prayers up for CODY!
Thank you for the kind words and update, Laura! ❤️🤗❤️🤗
Do you know what the donations are at now? The C&C army is a caring, generous group and I’m praying they’re at a point where they can feel some relief from the financial burden of treating their precious son.
I don’t Julie Ann. I do know they certainly are feeling some financial relief. And from the texts I’ve been reading tonight, Cody is not doing well physically. Please pray for him.
Thank you for sharing this story so we could help ease their financial burden and pray for Cody and his loving family. Such a sad and difficult situation. I hope they know the Lord.
They have an abiding faith in our Lord Jesus Christ Julie Ann 🥰🙏🏻
This asinine iteration of deranged Yahoos - professing to be the Democratic Party - and its bizarre mishmash of lackeys (doormats, i.e. deluded gesticulating idiots) has made considerable strides in the art of nonsensical arguments and infantile emotional outbursts. I'm still damn near stupefied that passing the SAVE Act is even remotely grim, controversial, or, for the love of all things sane, a "threat to democracy." ⬅ (definition still decidedly muddy.) "If we pass the SAVE Act illegals will be removed from the voting rolls." Uh....yeah. We certainly don’t want to be accused of “disenfranchising” 🙄 a group of people who aren't supposed to be here in the first place. For shame.
NPR (Not Plausible Reading) has stated that the idea that Democrats are bringing in immigrants to illegally vote for them is a conspiracy theory concocted by Trump and Musk. "Conspiracy theory".... The gift that keeps on giving. Meanwhile, on this chilly NE Florida morning, I've donned my black hoodie - festooned with a slightly tattered Betsy Ross flag - as a show of solidarity with/for John Fetterman. I didn't see that coming. Considering that I've never held back on lampooning him ever since he arrived on scene a few years ago, it's the least I can do. Interesting times, indeed.
Since the majority of American people as shown by polls support the Save America Act, it should be passed by us, the majority and bypass the senate period. After all, it is we the people it affects if it does not pass. The payors (we) are the sayors.
It’s pretty nuts to me that our Constitutional system has to rely on ‘tricks’ to pass common sense legislation as having to show ID to register to vote. The fact there is opposition to this shows how rotten our country has become. The yeas and nays are simply about who holds power. One side is reliant on actual US citizens for election, the other is not.
Rules is how power is maintained by politicians who despise their constituents. Always has been.
Sure, I get that. But are we not supposed to be 'different' in some way from previous governments. Or, perhaps Reagan touting America as that 'shining city upon a hill' was just bullsh*t.
I'm not sure of your point here. My point regards the use politicans make of rules.
I’m talking about our Constitution. Show me where in that governing document the statute on the filibuster. You can’t because it doesn’t appear there. There’s a lot of other rules that also don’t appear in our Constitution and that is at the core of our problems.
I prefer there always be '2 sides', but when both sides are pro 'American citizens' first. We've lost that over the last 40 years. Sadly, probably we need a big war with lots of bloodletting to get it back.

and the dead will have a harder time voting
Or all of those people with the same names & addresses but different middle initials.
And all those registered to shopping malls and campgrounds.
The idea that even a single accurate or truthful idea is broadcast on NPR, is a consipracy theory.
I watch NPR for my daily dose of Supercilious Condescension. That's all they are good for.
Ditto Al Jeezera... not usually, but currently as they are Iran's enemy, so spout LIES similar to US media.
I’ve been reading Al Jeezera for years and am still frequently impressed by their even and intelligent commentary. I was introduced by frequent references in articles on Zero Hedge and after finding them professional and pretty reliable, I started reading their feed directly. Don’t let a knee jerk reaction to the middle eastern name sway your opinion without going over there and sampling their work. You’ll find more international news and less TDS.
I corrected my comment. Yes, Al Jeezera (And RT) are often far more truthful than our own zionist-controlled media.
But currently, they are spouting biased and untrue stuff regarding Iran, their enemy. Understandable to some extent... but Qatar backed the appalling Israel/US unprovoked/illegal war on Iran, so Iran justifiably attacked them in return (retaliation).
"TheGreatAwakening" is a slimy coward and POS...
Posts insults then deletes them and scurries away like the cockroach he is.
Zionist-controlled? 1) liar. 2) Fuck off, Jew Hater.
I’m confused. Fetterman did vote in favor of moving the discussion forward but, he’s also said he doesn’t agree with the bill and will vote no. So I’m not celebrating him doing the right thing.
Fetterman didn’t like framing it as voter ID, he is in favor of determining “proof of citizenship” to vote as in many states illegals can obtain a drivers license. I agree, this is a stronger position. 👍🏼
My understanding of the current bill is that proof of citizenship is required each time you need to register to vote (moving to a new state, etc). After you’re registered with a birth certificate, passport, naturalization certificate etc to prove citizenship, you just need to present your drivers license or other government issued ID to vote.
In response to your question Jeff: I think TAW and therefore, LTMW and everybody relax.
I used to be very negative re Fetterman, but right now, I think he may be the best example of what an elected official should be. You are what you do. His consistent priorities seem to be: (1) what he, himself, believes is right and good for America, (2) what his constituents want and need, (3) what his party leaders want to achieve, and lastly, (4) self-enrichment - the reverse priorities of most politicians. Time to give him a break.
We need something akin to the Munk debates. Congressional “debates” are a farce, little more than redundant talking points. MSM debates are mostly scripted four-on-one panel discussions. Presidential debates are limited set-ups (where people with long hair have the advantage). We have so many important issues that need to be debated in detail . . the national debt, DEI policies, immigration, abortion, election integrity, rogue / partisan judges, our entire system of justice, why we have so much fraud in government programs, . . .
Stop with the name calling, and the labels, the fear, the hate mongering, the distractions, and even the quibbling. Start with the Munk format and make it better.
The problem with Fetterman’s switcheroo was his stated reason: that there is no fraud with mail-in ballots. That was a shocking statement when that’s where most of the fraud has occurred, and even if it wasn’t much (it was,) the holes in that process are so many and a ripe opportunity for fraud to occur so they need to be closed - especially with how distrusting we have all become of each side. What’s wrong with filling holes and closing gaps that fraud “could” exploit? So that tells me he was looking for something, anything, to give reason to vote with his party. He couldn’t very well point to men in women’s sports or child mutilation. It was the only excuse he could safely touch because half of the country is still in the dark about the voter fraud.
Hmm... they say there is about 3 million Chinese anchor babies that will able to vote in a few years. So, will we send them all mail in ballots??? And anchor babies in other countries.
A yuuuge reason why DJT must win on the change in definition of eligibility of 'birthright' citizenship!!!

Hey Hobgoblin, don't be stupefied by the Democrats calling the SAVE Act a "threat to democracy", with definition still decidedly muddy. This is a party that cannot define a woman, and their leader once asked, under oath I might add, for a definition of "is"! Nothing surprises me with them
Trump on the Strait of Hormuz is like the “Little Red Hen” character. He found the solution is other nations help patrol the Strait and that way they get the oil they need, but they say “not me”. At the end we should keep control of the Strait and charge other nations for the passage of their oil.
Tariffs 2.0
LOL!! Trump's "solution" is FUBAR...
We should "keep" control of the strait? Like we have it now or will anytime soon?
Jeeze, wake up.
I would trade Fetterman for my thoughtful, even handed Mother of Ranked Choice Voting Murky Murkowski any day. I may have actually voted for her. There were so many walnuts moving so fast I lost track of where the pea was.
“Never forget that our enemies’ preferred tactic is to sow division, turn populations against each other, and make us destroy ourselves. “Supreme excellence consists of breaking the enemy’s resistance without fighting,” Chinese philosopher Sun Tzu advised. Democrats don’t need to break MAGA if MAGA does it for free. The Democrats are achieving supreme excellence by doing nothing while we do the fighting for them.”
So true. We all have choices. Choose kindness. We all have disagreements. Disagree respectfully. It’s not that hard.
Both, the new Left and the new Right need a scapegoat and they dust off the reliable Jew hatred. They don’t recognize that it is the “canary in the coal mine” trying to warn us of their merging - see the “ horseshoe theory”. Beware and as Jeff is warning don’t let the Dems win in ‘26.
I don't believe it is "Jew hatred" on the MAGA side, we are pretty accepting of differences, it IS disapproval of the Zionist expansion plan of "greater Israel" that we do not like; see playing out and we certainly do not want to be used for it nor do we want our sons & daughters to pay the price for a "Greater Israel" - period.
What expansion plan? Something muttered by a couple of far right politicians? The Israelis want to be able to live in peace without having terrorists at their borders seeking to wipe them out. I listen to a variety of Israeli analysts and have NEVER heard any mention of expansion. They wish to have recognition of their right to exist, something Iran, Hamas, and Hezbolla categorically refuse to provide. Imagine living beside people who want to see you dead… I’m a Canadian Christian and am horrified with some of the number of Republicans drifting into the form of anti-semitism that sees Israel behind all the ills - just the same scapegoating that’s gone on for hundreds of years.
The "Yinon Plan" is a 1982 strategic document outlining a vision for Israel to become a regional power by fragmenting surrounding Arab states into smaller, sectarian-based units to secure its dominance. Critics and analysts often link this strategy to contemporary Israeli foreign policy, including under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has been associated with a "Greater Israel" vision.
Synopsis of the Yinon Plan (1982)
Origin: Written by Oded Yinon, a journalist and former Israeli Foreign Ministry advisor, titled "A Strategy for Israel in the 1980s" and published in the World Zionist Organization’s journal Kivunim.
Core Goal: The plan argued that Israel's survival necessitated becoming an imperial regional power, achievable only by breaking up surrounding Arab nations—Iraq, Syria, Egypt, Lebanon, and Jordan—along ethnic and religious lines.
Key Strategies:
Iraq: Identified as the primary threat, it was to be fragmented into three entities: a Shiite state, a Sunni state, and a Kurdish state.
Syria/Lebanon: The plan advocated for Lebanon’s balkanization (which it saw as foreshadowing the region) and the division of Syria along Alawite, Sunni, and Druze lines.
Egypt: Described as a "corpse" that should be dissolved to allow for an Israeli re-invasion of the Sinai Peninsula.
Jordan: The plan suggested the "liquidation" of the Hashemite Kingdom to allow for a population transfer, solving the Palestinian issue by moving them into a fractured Jordanian state.
"Greater Israel": While not explicitly using the term, it is closely linked to the concept of expanding Israel's borders "from the Nile to the Euphrates".
Darrin, based on your claims, then please explain WHY Israel RETURNED the entire Sinai Peninusla to Egypt after they captured it in the Six Day war.
FURTHER, please explain why Israel fully WITHDREW from Gaza - INCLUDING disinterring their cemetaries! - in 2005 if they have plans to "expand".
Gail, my answer posted above was information from an LLM known today as AI. It is a synopsis of the "Yinon Plan" is and how the current PM of Israel has been involved with it for more than 5 decades.
To answer your questions:
Israel returned the entire Sinai Peninsula to Egypt under the 1978–1979 Camp David Accords and peace treaty, prioritizing long-term security, diplomatic recognition, and peace with its largest Arab neighbor over holding vast territory. The deal was brokered to end the state of war with Egypt and included a demilitarization of the peninsula, providing Israel with a strategic buffer zone.
Key reasons for the return include:
The Land for Peace Principle: Israel traded the Sinai to achieve its first peace treaty with a neighboring Arab state, as stipulated by the Camp David Accords.
Security and Buffer Zone: As part of the peace treaty, the Sinai was demilitarized. This allowed Egypt to regain sovereignty while protecting Israel by ensuring heavy military forces could not sit directly on its border.
Neutralizing a Major Foe: Egypt was historically the strongest Arab adversary. A peace treaty removed Egypt from the military equation of the Arab-Israeli conflict, significantly increasing Israel's overall security.
Normalization of Relations: The agreement, signed by Egypt's Anwar Sadat and Israel's Menachem Begin, officially ended the state of war and opened diplomatic relations.
Although Israel captured the Sinai in 1967 and briefly held it for security reasons, the geopolitical desire for a lasting peace agreement proved more beneficial to Israel than retaining the territory.
Regarding your second question, here are some resources to allow you to grapple with some fairly complex issues. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_disengagement_from_the_Gaza_Strip#:~:text=In%202005%2C%20Israel%20disengaged%20from,continued%20to%20be%20regarded%20by At least it (and its hyperlinks and footnotes) is a good place to start. God bless you. It is nice to see folks wanting to learn history and geopolitics.
You must be a dullard... you never heard of the "Greater Israel" project? IDF swine wear that patch on their uniforms.
You have not heard of Zionist "settlers" stealing Palestinian lands?
How about the mass-slaughter in Gaza, and Israel is stealing THOSE lands too, Trump and slimeball jew Kushner plan on a big development there...
Anti-zionism is NOT antisemitic. Ever read the talmud. Bozo?
You are a "christian'?? Wake up! https://www.bitchute.com/video/2UE1jb50v0cO
It's not even that -- I am questioning Mossad and deep state Israel intent and goals JUST as I question deep state CIA here on our own shores! I am a believer who loves all people as any genuine Christian does and prays for all souls to believe in and give their lives to the only name under heaven by which men may be saved -- JESUS! (Acts 4:12). BUT I do question Bibi -- just like Charlie Kirk questioned -- HOW could the advanced (even more than CIA by some accounts) Mossad not have known about Oct 7th? And on top of that take -- what -- an hour? to respond. Give me a break. It's a dark but not unreasonable thought that governments do what they need to do or tolerate what they need to tolerate (even the killing of their own citizens) to have a premise for war. AND I am increasingly uncomfortable as I find out more and more how much AIPAC seems to influence our leaders.
Yes. My thoughts exactly. 💯
SHug I urge you to see out more information on this topic.
"Antizionism" IS just the NEW term for "antisemitism".
Otherwise please explain how ONE SPECIFIC people/ race/ religion can be denied to have their own one TINY chunk of land in the entire world?
Are Americans denied America? French denied France? Multiple Muslim-majority (almost to the point of 100% exclusivity) countries denied the right to their homelands? Did you or the world object to 'anti-islamization' of the Pakistanis when Pakistan was created? Can you explain the justification why Israel is treated differently?
You can look it up on your own. I have no problem with Israel itself or Iraelis or Jews overall. The Greater Israel IS a "Zionist plan" to take over several areas that are NOT theirs at present. That TINY little country suddenly turns into a HUGE chunk of the ME. If they don't like being called out on it, they shouldn't do it or plan it.
Here are a few data points. It is not a big secret, it is known and commented on all over. I didn't make it up, Israel did. So, if you have a problem with it, I suggest you take it up with them.

Why you think I'd accept as factual propaganda from an entirely muslim organization what Israel's plans are is beyond me. HISTORY, as in ALL PAST ACTIONS, refutes your assertion at every angle.
"It is undeniably true that tackling Iran advances Israel’s interests. But it is equally true that it would have been impossible for Trump to tackle Iran without Israel. So … who’s using who? "
The question is whether we acted at our own pace and time, or were we forced to act, before the stage was fully set.
With over five dozen military bases nearby and the world's largest and most advanced military machine, to suggest "it would have been impossible for Trump to tackle Iran without Israel." It's like saying a raging bull couldn't do any damage in a china shop without a certain particular tick engorged on its head.
What threat, imminent or otherwise, did Iran pose to America?
Because killing our soldiers, attampting to assassinate our Presidents, threaten the world economy, threaten friends and allies, sponsor global terror proxies? Why, none at all.
LOL!!
Post links to all that bullshit.
🎯
Imminent being main word here.
I don't believe it is Jew hatred. I believe it is aimed specifically at Bibi and his admin.
Bibi is Trump. The haters and saboteurs are out there in both countries.
Mitchell is Ahole.
Yes Lori! Disagreement with Bibi’s regime is not antisemitism. I can love Jewish people but hate their leader’s tactics.
Exactly. Just like we are in disagreement with other leaders in power elsewhere. Tired of hearing anti-semite, Nazi, racist, fascist. The Left needs new material.
I don’t think cognitive dissonance exists on true MAGA. We know for sure it does on the Dems side.
LOL!! anyone that trusts or believes Trump these days is delusional... or a zionist turd.
I am Ex-MAGA, still despise dems... but know a turn-coat betrayer when I smell one.
Criticising the aggression of the Likud Party and the bloodlust of BB is NOT equal to "Jew Hatred". Not even in the same ballpark.
Is being critical of Obama policies "Black Hatred"?
Is being critical of Trump policies "White or Christian Hatred" ?
Whenever these Jew hatred, anti-Semitic tropes are used, it is because you have failed at assembling a cogent argument supporting these Likud party policies.
"Jew Hatred"... which, like the blatant LIES of the "holocaust"... has been a zionist propaganda go-to for many decades.
Can you despise Israel's apartheid... genocide... land thefts, corruption of our government via bribery and extortion... the talmud... the "Greater Israel Project"... protection of traitors and pedos...
Without being labled a "jew-hater"?
"Sowers of discord" are consigned by Dante to the ninth ditch of the eighth circle of the Inferno, I believe. Where they belong.
Are truth-tellers like Cols Macgregor, Wilkerson, Jeffry Sachs, Prof Merscheimer, Larry Johnson and Scott Ritter...
All "sowers of discord" when they call out blatant zionist and Trump propaganda and LIES??
I can't stand the soap opera in-fighting. We're not supposed to be like democrats who fall in line as ordered. Yet when someone has a differing opinion, it all too often gets personal as well and I just tune out, unfollow whatever it takes.
"Apparently Megyn Kelly and Mark Levin are having an undignified public spat over the war that is doing neither of them much good. Levin called Megyn Ozempic-faced, and Megyn called him “Micropenis Mark.” (Or diminutive words to that effect.) What either of those unfortunate observations have to do with the war is anybody’s guess."
I wonder what "observation" Megan had to make her statement. Well whatever, and yes, it is not helpful to rational debate. I cannot remember the last time someone asked their opposition to "Please state the opposing argument to your position so that I can see if you understand my disagreement with you" We need to Keep Charlie Krik's rational debate alive, particularly with fellow conservatives.
And call out which group was likely behind Kirks's murder.
It sure as hell was not the retard patsy, and sure as hell not a 30-06.
Or is that antisemitic?
Same anomalies with JFK's murder. The ballistics were laughable and sadly believable, by the sheep, who exist without asking questions. The 1st question is: Cui Bono? The answer of course, Israel. The next in line, patsy LBJ, was a nauseating Zionist.
True... here's a LOT of truth that is hard to dispute:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kzz9Md0d76Y
Yes, LBJ, the USS Liberty traitor pig... was involved for sure.
Poppa Bush may have been too.
Yes all of it. LBJ was truly a foreign agent and traitor. Thanks for that link, I will definitely watch tomorrow. Bush Sr. was a CIA sloth, who certainly may have been involved.
BTW I saw that you read David Jensen. Same here.
I agree, the Talking Heads sound more like children having a temper tantrum than adults. I cannot be bothered to take them seriously any longer, and tune them out and turn them off.
Whatever the dems do, we should stick together and do the opposite.
Vote Red in November 2026🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
You are failing to understand how infiltration occurs. Debate is the instrument of our courts, our congress and senate, and even our boardrooms, it is a tool that civilized societies use in the pursuit of truth. There is no debate in North Korea. 🤷♀️
I think debate is great and that differing opinions and or doubt in a decision or process is healthy. What I don't like is the catfighting. For example, he's a traitor for not agreeing, maga, Trump whatever. Or you're not maga if u don't believe xyz. Then the back n forth calling each other names. Then there's oh I was first in calling that out and she took credit...all of these childish games. It's an immediate turn off. Everyday, you hear a fellow Conservative screaming that another is not a Conservative.
Honestly, I can understand all the mistrust because the deep state is real and been playing all of us as pawns for decades. I don't know what to believe at times. The stories on Bannon have me wondering but I will reserve judgment on him or anyone else on that matter whether they believe x or y; not scream that person as a traitor or a bad guy.
It's gotten so bad out there the best medicine has been to do the things you enjoy and pray.
Your disdain for the battle is a reflection of your disingenuous pursuit of the facts. You say that name calling is “childish,” and that is essentially name calling. You don’t want to be held to an opinion because you don’t want to risk being wrong, or you don’t have a foundation to support your argument. It is so much easier to look like you are civilized and smarter than others, to just call them childish or say they are in a cat fight when you have no idea what the actual situation is. How about the battle against antisemitism and bigotry? That is exactly what we are talking about. Jeff is wrong too. Mark Levin is Jewish and Megan Kelly and Tucker Carlson are not Conservative if they are antisemitic. Yes, they are pro Palestinian. It is a rather black and white issue we are discussing.
I respectfully disagree. I read and listen to everything I can to discern the facts of the matter. I just don't care for listening to people call ea other micropenis or saying I was first, or you're not MAGA if you don't think exactly as I do. And to state I'm disingenuous is speculating when you have no idea what I've done to help save this country and our Constitution.
Have you read any of Mark Levin’s many books? Megyn Kelly has written her one book, her autobiography. I doubt it has any information on current events. I don’t know anyone who would actually say refer to a woman having a penis of any kind. 🙄 Bottom line is that Jeff makes a living arguing, yet he criticizes other people who are using free speech to make a living and express their opinions. Should I have said you sound sanctimonious as a person who is above the catfight, like Jeff? Yet here you are. Humm.
Well stated Mr. Anderson
Is it okay if I choose to mock and meme the media squawkers that are trying to fan the flames of the MAGA infighting so the bad guys have one less weapon in their arsenal?
Gullfriend - Short, eye-opening read on why the infighting is so toxic & why understanding what we can of it is so important.
https://x.com/mattvanswol/status/2033346137185214466
Maybe I’m just naive, but I don’t believe these discord spreaders were actually really ever MAGA. If you look at their backgrounds, they’ve been this and they’ve been that; all depending on which way the wind was blowing the dollar bill. I think what’s happening right now is God leveling some judgement on them; exposing them.
The media, of course, is blowing it way out of proportion; but seriously who has time for such nonsense. Maybe I see it that way because I don’t listen to any of them other than if some clip makes it into the wider world.
In my childhood I was taught never to place the faith that belongs only to God in any human being; every one of them will fail you at some point if you look to them for security.
This was reported today. Apparently only the left wing media and their supporters care about the influencer celebrities cat fights.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/03/despite-detractors-maga-remains-intact-100-maga-supports/
Lots of us in MAGA saw the folly in the Iraq War. DJT on 2016 debate stage called it a ‘big, fat mistake’. That Iraq War had Israel government’s finger prints all over it. Don’t make me link Bibi’s 2002 testimony before US Congress to press in the point. Now we arrive at Iran War. Trump would not have acted on Feb 28th if not for Mossad golden Intel that the Ayatollah and all his buddies were meeting where they were. And DJT would not have done this either, if not for Israel showing all its prowess and shiny toys during the 2025, 12-day war w/ Iran. Trump likes a winner, and Israel was showing all the signs of a winner.
Now that Iran’s military infrastructure is largely destroyed, all eyes are on Hormuz. There are 2 US ships now speedily sailing to the Gulf to resolve the Hormuz question. One is the USS H.W. Bush nuclear powered aircraft carrier. When it arrives late March, it will be the 3rd carrier in region. This is needed to provide continuous air protection for the USS Tripoli. The 2nd and perhaps more important ship is the USS Tripoli (2.5K Marines, and 25 F-35 jump jets aboard). This ship en route from Japan and also expected to be on-station by early April. Here’s a good video on this move:
https://youtu.be/vMy69tl25r8?si=PbZCYAKTNsH2UGaO
If you're, if you're willing to hear a different opinion of what's really going on and what Trump is really doing on the world stage. You could start watching Prometheus action on YouTube.
I fell into the Israel is really running the US but now that I'm seeing the bigger picture I realize it's not true.
I’m always open to having my mind changed if I encounter superior logic. I long ago learned to preface argument language in my marriage with the phrase “In my current thinking….” It allows a crack in door for person (in my case wife!) to update my thinking if response makes more sense.

Thx for sharing, that’s beautiful to see. I noticed Finland came along first, before DJT’s ‘threat’. They have perhaps the most to lose sharing a border w/ Russia + a big contract w/ Trump to supply USA w/ icebreaker ships. I also saw article today that USS Ford had a not insignificant fire in laundry room, w/ enough damage that it needs to sail to EU for repairs. USS H.W. Bush may be on the way as a replacement.
What does Willing Spirit mean? Willing? How?
Willing Spirit - Much truth in what you’ve said! Thanks.
This gentleman already says what I have been saying. I think the media figures like Megyn, Mark, Tucker, Fuentes, etc. who are beefing publicly are part of that agenda to demoralize the right enough to sit out the midterms and let the commies steal this country back and finish their plan to destroy it.
This is a spiritual battle, and I do not call the MSM the Malicious Satanic Media lightly. I think even the "independent" squawkers like those I named above are a part of it. They're chasing clicks over discernment and unity. It's not popular to say that because it doesn't seem rational, but we need to be emphasizing this because, obviously, the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was ... (you know the end of that).
I suspect they receive hefty bribes to stir the sh*t
So do I.
Bribes... like the millions in bribes handed out to congressmen by AIPAC?
DOGE Congress!
I think that they're just being very stupid. Not paid off. I've been very disappointed in Tucker especially (and in Candace for her stance on it).
No Tucker is suddenly in thick with Qatar and anti Israel.
For good reasons.
Tucker came from generational wealth, power, and influence. He earned $15-25 million a year while with the MSM. He invested well and lives well beneath his means. Anyone suggesting he is or could be bought off simply doesn't know much about him.
SD - Agree!!!
Bullcrap.
Getting my hair done by a Tucker/candace listener. May be interesting.
Long hair is a great look.
Excellent!
Thank you for the link — a voice of reason all should pay attention to
MAGA is not breaking.
I am sorry Lori, but the more I look into the current state of global affairs, it is looking more like MIGA has killed and assumed the identity of MAGA. I pray you are correct and I am mistaken.
We do pay more attention to Israel than any other country and I can't explain why except perhaps to say this is God's will? It is very odd to see consistently when compared to other countries.
Yes.
Never forget Hillary on disagreement: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NJxmpTMGhU0 😂
It takes at least two to have a fight. If you are mocking & memeing then you are contributing to the infighting. If you stop your efforts the infighting will diminish, won't it?
"If you stop your efforts the infighting will diminish, won't it?"
No. It won't stop, because it benefits the Uniparty and their captured media to amplify these spats. The reason the Meme War brigade has been so effective is that a picture with snappy and funny point breaks through to the people on the sidelines watching this better than any think piece.
Guess who owns or runs most major US media?
Yep... jews.
Only you can answer that for yourself. In general, I’m not a fan of mocking. But I can only speak for myself.
I am 72 years of age. I learned as a young boy playing sports that you "NEVER" bad-mouth or taunt your competitor. President Trump needs to stop calling Biden "Sleepy Joe". He continues to do so. Please stop!
The really difficult part is when the democrats, and those who just hate Trump and want him to fail, or other countries that want us to fail, interject into our discussions and communities posing as long time MAGA and long time Trump supporters. It’s like a shield, “I’m one of you so you have to be nice to me even if I’m insulting you in underhanded ways or planting false narratives.” Often they are very easy to spot by their rhetoric. Those are the ones I slap back because I know I am not punching right, but punching the liars and deceivers. And believe me, they have sent an army of imposters on every social media platform. Remember, they pay people to do it just like they pay protestors.
However, it is very sad to see how easily some of our strongest influencers among us were able to be “snowed” by them. So yes, sometimes one of our own starts sounding just like them, but they really are the minority and the polls reveal that. CNN’s own poll JUST showed that 89% of conservatives are in support of Trump and his Iran operation. So most of us are still quite bright and not led around by the nose by influencers they way they believe.
The enemy captured a few up high that influence many of us in an attempt to convert us, and now they are trying to spin that it’s been successful because we are divided. No … we are not. It did NOT work. Only in news reports and when one of the deceivers shows up in a community to make it appear that way. If anything it’s driving more of us into Trump’s lap. It says something when someone like him looks like the only adult in the room. 🤣
It’s painful to disagree with someone who you have agreed with on 90% of everything else, but doing so doesn’t make you stupid or foolish. Just because they were right on so much before does NOT mean they are right on this, or on Israel. Most likely it is they that are being easily manipulated themselves and that’s the crying shame of it all because we loved them.
I can love Megyn but adamantly disagree with her on this. I don’t see her behaving quite as offensively as some influencers are, accusing us of “loving pedos and baby killers” or “sucking Israel’s teat” or “blindly following a man that lied to us.” Those kind of comments reveal who the person REALLY is - and it’s not good. And most of the ugly being reported about Megyn is in the reporting itself, because it’s not quite as ugly in her podcast.
I can love Tucker and hate his stance on this as well as his recent handling of it. I strongly believe he lost the plot. He has made some grave mistakes. I can see his reactions as a defense of his character, which is his trigger. So I give him the benefit of the doubt. However he is not quite as vitriol as other top influencers have become, or even those who interview him. Again the reporting about him is worse than the actual context. Still he’s my biggest disappointment for his lack of remaining fair and balanced about Israel - and like I said it’s because character assassination triggered him.
But people like Candace? That’s where I draw the line. That’s downright vile and evil and if kicking one member on the right out of the circle is ever necessary it’s with someone like that.
Learn the signs of an imposter. Learn the signs of someone arguing in bad faith to plant lies and hate and smears wrapped in “understanding” and “agreement, but…” It’s always right there in the middle of their own words: the left’s narrative. Sometimes I get pulled into engaging with one of these manipulators and it does not matter what I say they NEVER thoughtfully consider my points and find a way to drive through the narrative they want everyone to swallow anyway. Just don’t engage with them. Wait for another person with the counter facts ready at their fingertips to post them. And if no one does it does not mean that manipulator was right about anything. They just want you to think it is. They are sitting in front of a screen, probably paid, with all the talking points ready at their fingertips. Most of us don’t do that. We have our guts, formed from all we have been exposed to on each side. Being unable to argue with them in a given moment is not a sign of anything.
"Those are the ones I slap back because I know I am not punching right, but punching the liars and deceivers. And believe me, they have sent an army of imposters on every social media platform. Remember, they pay people to do it just like they pay protestors."
THIS. I agree with every point you made but this is the one that is the one that should be the loudest. It's why the jokes and memes are so effective, too. You can try to debate logically, or you can send a zinger out that quickly breaks apart their argument and wakes up the people in the bleachers.
What did Candace Owens do to get on your bad side? Do you object to her conducting an investigation of Charlie Kirk's murder and TPUSAs dodgy financial deals?
I object to HOW she is doing it. I object to misrepresenting suspicions as facts. I object to attacking a widow without clear, absolute proof.
I object to her lying to Erika, and telling her she would stop if Erika asked. Erika didn’t at first. She kindly left Candace alone for a while, but then she needed to ask her to stop. Erika finally asked and in a kind manner. Immediately Candace said no and had an excuse ready. Then she started attacking Erika herself almost right away. Evil. Just plain cruel.
“TPUSAs dodgy financial deals” 🙄 I also object to this kind of spin presented in a “supposedly” innocent question. It’s planting something as if it’s a fact when it’s not. It’s conjecture, suspicion, and circumstantial.
Actually Juju, she is careful to use verified info. That way if they sue her, she can bring it all out in discovery in court. I agree CO can be ... brutal with her views, esp of EK (who she views as having betrayed CK), but the info she presents is true, even if we don't like the way she does it.
I have a feeling EK is going to bring down Vance if allowed to continue in the present manner. Don't know who put this up, but it happened 2 days after CK was killed https://www.vancekirk28.com/
Those "dodgy" TPUSA $$ - verified using their OWN documents.
Leah did several deep dives - shady as hell, esp that Sheridan woman, who took great advantage of CK - no wonder he wanted DOGE. You can check out her substack here
https://theleahfiles.substack.com/p/14m-to-ghost-llcs-tpusa-follow-the?
Yeah that IS shady/dodgy. Looks like CK was surrounded by some greedy people. As are ALL the charities and PACs out there. I wonder where this would fall in severity when laid beside all the other fraud other agencies have, especially democrats. Just one dollar taken dishonestly is too much, and I don’t condone it, but it is curious that this one gets the magnifying glass while all the others sail on by. Would the exposure be less sensationalized when compared to them?
HOWEVER … and a BIG however… one thing I’ve noticed in my life, as a Child of God, I can’t get away with ANYTHING other people can. I would be punished to the extreme even if it was just stealing a pack of gum while someone stealing a car would get off scott free. The difference would be that I claim to be God’s child, and he would discipline His child almost immediately while other thieves that are not heirs to His throne would have to wait for judgement day for their punishment, when it is too late.
So these people Leah has researched have claimed the throne, and that means laying their deception alongside those that don’t won’t save them. They are held to a higher standard by God Himself, so maybe that’s why this is seeing light while far worse offenders aren’t.
Thanks for the link to Leah. Will be reading more of her articles
Another however: no amount of truth that sees the light of day will ever excuse how Candace is doing it. No matter what her efforts bring forward and how true it is, her methods are as despicable as these “fundraiser” people Leah have revealed. Her actions show she forgot to remove the plank in her own eye …
Juju, 100% agree with you about being a child of God and held to a higher standard. I can't do things like that either. My hubby is always amused at how I am so shocked how people act- he has a wonderful eye for character and spots them easily; I tend to give people too much credit.
I think Leah said the out right missing money is $10-$15 million missing, and no telling how much mis-spent/applied.
It doubly pisses me off when people are given grace and then use that as an opening to steal from people who helped them. I didn't figure out who the S. woman was until later- apparently, CK ran into her crying in the apartment hallway, (because they were broke and her husband was very sick). CK helped them get current on rent & stuff, got them medical help then gave her a job with full benefits to help them. Now she's in pictures beside EK at funerals, etc; all the while her made up companies are pulling millions from TPs pockets. You recall the tv show TJHooker with the Shat? She was the bouncy blonde then- guess she was a better actress then we thought. Some thanks, huh?

AI disagrees with you when you write: "CNN’s own poll JUST showed that 89% of conservatives are in support of Trump and his Iran operation."
As of March 2026, roughly 40% of American voters support Donald Trump's military action against Iran, while a 53% majority opposes it. Support is heavily partisan, with 85% of Republicans favoring the action, compared to only 7% of Democrats and roughly 31% of independents.
Key insights on public opinion regarding the conflict include:
Opposition Majority: Multiple polls show most Americans oppose the military action, with a 56% disapproval rate in some surveys.
Republican Support: While 85% of Republicans support the overall action, a narrower 54% majority of Republicans support continuing strikes.
Independent Disapproval: Independents largely oppose the war, with 60% against military action.
Ground Troops: A strong majority of voters—roughly 74%—oppose sending U.S. ground troops into Iran.
Generational Divide: Among Trump voters, support is more muted among younger cohorts, with 18-29 year olds supporting the war by a much narrower margin compared to older, staunch supporters.
Polls indicate deep concerns about the conflict, including fears of it leading to a terrorist attack within the U.S. and causing higher oil prices.
Ai stinks. Here’s right from CNN’s own mouth where I heard it. 89% approve. Now you can break out all sorts of DIFFERENT polls, like continuing strikes etc., but that isn’t what my reply said. My reply is accurate as I typed it.

Thanks for trying.
Anti-War does NOT equal Anti-Trump.
TDS has a foil character in the modern American culture, I will call it the Trump Messiah Complex, TMS. Where NOTHING that Trump does can EVER be wrong, and as Jeff coined, TAW.
Trump doesn't always WIN. He is human, just like the rest of us here.
Honestly, if I had to choose between our affliction of TMS or TAW or your affliction of TDS? I’d take ours in a heartbeat. It’s soooooo much more FUN and positive. I couldn’t last 24 hours with TDS 🤣
There really are no other choices. You either choose to support him and trust your judgement of voting for him, and enjoy the many wins so far, or you choose to distrust him and doubt every word and step he takes and work to make others doubt him too. Ick. I’ll stick with trusting Trump, in all his flawed humanness. The alternative is soul crushing.
Here is proof positive that two people can both be right, but because of perspective. Have you ever heard about the five blind men touching different parts of an elephant and arguing about what their tactile perception is telling them is in front of them?
You cite a "Kosher" person on X, with a video link to what appears to be a CNN broadcast at some unknown point in time, that says "Among MAGA Republicans 89% approve," but like all propaganda, the devil is in the details. We do not know how many "MAGA Republicans" were surveyed, when, or anything. They could have asked 20 hard-core, self-described MAGA Republicans and very slanted, deceptive questions. We don't know, because the question was not revealed, like any other statistical data. This is possibly even a Deep Fake, who knows. Not saying it is, but it has way too many red flags to be interpreted as 89% of Americans approve TODAY of the war in Iran. AI may stink. It isn't perfect, but in general, is way more reliable than this one "Kosher" X hyperlink. I would say CNN stinks, but MSNBC (and now CBS) is worse. Mainstream Corporate Media is just a cesspool of propaganda. I thought you and the majority of CC subscribers would have learned that?
It wasn’t just one post 🤣🤣 I actually watched it live and then saw a bunch of posts headlining it. I also saw other polls showing similar. CNN JUST released one that showed Trump has a 100% approval rating among MAGA. Believe me, they are the LAST news agency that would admit that if it weren’t true. MAGA is not fracturing. Yes, you’re seeing the elephants whiskers and I’m looking at which way the right foot is pointed.
We quote this CNN poll because they and MSNBC have been known to be the biggest liars and feed lies wrapped as polls. So if the least trusted among us are saying this, that says something. And I guarantee you they didn’t seek out the most hardcore MAGA supporters in a cluster to do the poll. Tell me what kind of deep fake that would be? 😂 Dems are completely incapable of giving us a single win, in anything.
But you’re assuming I’m a glassy-eyed nymph jumping at anything positive I can find and ignoring the negatives. I am not. What I am certain of is Trump’s base is not defecting, except for the Tucker/Candace Owens/Massie/MTG fans. They are the ONLY ones fracturing our party but it’s a teeny tiny fracture because the rest of the adults in the room understand the importance of sticking together right before midterms.
I can’t remember now as this convo has been a long one, but I think that was our initial argument? That MAGA is in a shambles? I’d have to go back and reread … but I know all the polls are showing it’s anything but. Quite the opposite.
Call it whatever you want, but Trump has earned our undying support. We didn’t just hand it over freely. It. Was. Earned. We see a mistake here and there and have sane minds to balance it against the rest. We don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. That’s not a messiah complex 🙄🙄 And the fact that this is what you read looking at the elephant is more worrisome than anything we read.
Well if the world's biggest liars and propagandists are saying it, it must be true.
Well we can simply agree to disagree.
If MAGA hasn't fractured, it is because so many have simply exited the room. Too many are waking up to the Truth. It isn't Right vs Left, it is the Elite and Deep State, the billionaire class vs everyone else. Many Israeli people and New Yorkers, and Philidephians simply call them Goy. That's me. Probably you too.
Happy birthday 🎂 in a couple weeks or days. You gotta be an Aries ♈️. No doubt, tell me i am at least correct on that point. Argue or debate long enough, there has to be some common ground.
Just kindly consider this, if your enemy knew of a fatal flaw or break in cohesive group think 6 months ahead of a vital election, does it make strategical sense to point that out, so we have time to repair a Crack or a Great Divide? Or is it wiser to feed them false statistics and polls to keep them thinking their house is in order. Keep them patting each other on the back, until it is too late?
You can trust CNN. I will trust my eyes, ears, mind, and heart.
Thanks for not resorting to slurs and name calling on this umpteenth reply.
I mean this, keep your eyes open, and please keep your mind open. You are too smart to lose to propaganda.
I’m outta here for today, and thought I’d place this up top because I’ve ruffled several anti-Trump/fake MAGA feathers today and they are waiting for me to respond to all their efforts to pull me into an argument with them that I just don’t have time for. Are these people paid? I’m supposed to sit here and gather all my citations and resources and tediously lay it all out for them as a rebuttal? They can do it themselves. I did! I have a life to get to, and no more time to swat these annoying gnats flying around in here.
To my real C&C friends: Reread Jeff’s article again before leaving after reading the comments, to recalibrate and shower yourself in his optimism again that the comment section tries so hard to soil.
Have a good day! ❤️
I’ve started blocking the ones who resort to insults…I have neither the time nor patience. You are a gem, Juju!
You are too, Nard ❤️
(I’ve flung my share of insults too tho 😬 - quite a few! But never at someone who didn’t strike first. Often their insults are buried within a LOT of words as they peddle the anti-Trump perspectives. Maybe they aren’t even aware of it assuming it’s a widely accepted insult or something. They always reveal themselves. They just can’t help it. And they clearly are not here for the same reasons we are. If they are repeating the leftist talking points (which can be derived from all sorts of social media, not just by watching CNN,) it’s clear they are hyper-fixated on breaking our camaraderie and planting seeds of doubt, killing Jeff’s optimism. So an insult might slip out of me and nick them in the back side. 🤣)
🤣
Have a good day! ❤️
You too Juju !
Right.
Dont fall for the left right in politics.
I'm a member of a very MAGA friendly site. Where once there was complete MAGA unity, there is now many anti-MAGA commentors. I'm beginning to think this site has been infiltrated. I could probably prove this theory by counting the number of new members posting anti-MAGA, but I'm not sure this "evidence" would sway anybody or be worth the effort. I do plan to non-renew when my subscription expires. The way things are going, Coffeeandcovid may end up being my only MAGA refuge soon.
I also wonder about a CNN poll showing 90% MAGA support for the Iran war. I'm wonder if they faked that poll results just to placate MAGA into not fighting back. Obviously, I don't have any trust in CNN.
Perhaps "anti-MAGA" are those of us Ex-MAGAs who find Trump's sell-out to Israel despicable?
We should definitely speak up when our representatives make the wrong choices. What are we, a cult?
I have noticed even here that if someone says something that the self-appointed Guardians Of MAGA don't like, they use insults and grand pronouncements of banishment, instead of words (Use your words! as we tell 2 year olds).
Did Thune really always have a secret plan? Or did he respond to constituents writing letters of disapproval?
Is Trump really caving to Bibi? Or is he carrying out the "7 countries in 5 years" plan?
Is al Jazerra really all that? I have looked at them with a skeptical eye since Hillary Clinton praised them back in the "Let's destroy Libya and Syria" days.
And now Libya is a terrorist-infested hellhole, and Syria is run by an al Qaeda leader who is slaughtering Christians and Alawites.
Al Jazerra is a Qatar owned news site. Qatar is the main sponsor of Hamas and ISIS, not Iran. They are not supporters of a peaceful middle east.
Qatar hosts an American base that Iran attacked. They are not neutral. They are kept in power by the US, so of course they are cheering for the destruction of Iran.
Mrs. RW
Asking questions is a good thing. Answering them is too. Respectfully.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. There is so much history and gray matter...it's not a blk n wht issue for sure so for example people thinking it's Trump bending to Israel are naive in the matter. I tend to read as much material out there and comprehend all the complexities, and it is mind boggling complex.
Bravo!
Is asking questions about policy more divisive than mindlessly accepting policy?
I’m a fan of asking questions. And answering them too.
Everything we see in the news is designed to divide, rage bait, blame, gaslight, disrespect, insult and deceive. Yet people willingly take the bait every time.
There is absolutely nothing new coming from the media. Noting intelligent, useful or trustworthy. Their regurgitated excrescence is as dumbfounding as it is hysterical. They couldn't be less irrational. They oppose creativity, reality and free thinking.
Hilariously ironic is the joke is on them.
They bow down to the oligarch patriarchal straight WHITE MEN who own the publications and pay their salaries. For all their silly rage, they are the ones who worship at the feet of their billionaire bosses by toeing the line.
" Does the SAVE Act show buy Trump time and space to do what he needs to do in the war? Behind everything are another couple million pages of Epstein files, and a rapidly unfolding nationwide fraud scandal." What I think most people are not noticing is as the big noisy news articles are keeping everyone focused on one thing or another. the processes that have been started are still running. I saw something the other day that claimed Trump has quit deporting people, nope, it just got quieter. I also saw people claiming Noem got fired, nope she got moved someplace else, as a distraction for the crowds who hated and blamed her.
A good stage magician uses misdirection to cover their actual actions, and between that misdirection and the amazing job the administration is doing to keep their actual plans quiet, there's a LOT going on besides the shitshow of media is screaming.
I watch things go by, and pattern it, and the pattern is still running totally consistent. There is a plan. I don't know exactly where the final outcome of it will be, I can say the pattern is consistent, and advancing in a coherent direction, despite all the screaming obscuring it.
Things are getting done neatly and precisely, and in a definite order.
And sometimes Trump's public role in it is agitator and distraction.
Let the man work, he's doing an amazing job!!
This IS EXACTLY what I voted for!!
I totally agree. Great comment.
This is how I feel. Reality is inevitably messier than campaign promises. But what has been happening is stunningly coherent compared to other administrations. Some of us remember.
YES!! Something that annoys me is the "he's not doing it perfectly!" commentary... Compared to WHO? And he has a more complex agenda than most previous presidents have ever even considered, with a less useful congress than I think we have ever had. They are not looking at the baseline performance of the previous holders of the office, they are looking at something mythical in their own minds, and saying he doesn't measure up.
Nailed it
There are still people that claim Biden and Obama did a great job!
Since 1963 we’ve had mainly puppets & traitors in office.
Not that previous ones like Wilson & Truman weren’t suspect. Even Eisenhower.
🎯🎯🎯
It's a wild time to be alive!
It certainly is 😉😁
I think that you are absolutely correct 💯
Amen!!
I'm wondering if you have seen any of Prometheus Action videos on YouTube?
They have helped me to understand Trump's strategy and we must win the midterms.
Besides, MAGA is NOT divided. 100% GOP approval of Trump:

But if I say, “I will not remember Him
Or speak anymore in His name,”
Then in my heart it becomes like a burning fire
Shut up in my bones;
And I am weary of holding it in,
And I cannot endure it.
For I have heard the whispering of many,
“Terror on every side!
Denounce him; yes, let us denounce him!”
All my trusted friends,
Watching for my fall, say:
“Perhaps he will be deceived, so that we may prevail against him
And take our revenge on him.”
But the LORD is with me like a dread champion;
Therefore my persecutors will stumble and not prevail.
They will be utterly ashamed, because they have failed,
With an everlasting disgrace that will not be forgotten.
Yet, O LORD of hosts, You who test the righteous,
Who see the mind and the heart;
Let me see Your vengeance on them;
For to You I have set forth my cause.
Sing to the LORD, praise the LORD!
For He has delivered the soul of the needy one
From the hand of evildoers.

Janice, what a timely post! We are in this portion of Jeremiah right now in my women's Bible study. And I need to get off of here and go, as our study is starting soon.
Hope and pray you are doing well in your recovery.
Mrs. "the Knife"
Doing ok although existing on poor sleep. Also I almost had a heart attack when I saw what the provider billed insurance for my 23 platinum coils, anesthesia, and an overnight hospital stay: $527,000. Thank God for good insurance. My part is zero. Thank you for asking! As my mom liked to say with a chuckle, “I’m in pretty good shape for the shape I’m in.”
I am glad you are getting along - will continue to pray about the sleep issue. I get it about the hospital bill - had a surgery for which they used the daVinci robot. I did not know that the hospital charged by the MINUTE for that robotic surgery. Things did not go as planned - a 2 hour-ish surgery turned into over 7 hours. I understand the almost-heart attack! My insurance company initially rejected paying the bill, despite pre-approving the whole thing. Eventually, I got it sorted out, but good grief.
Mrs. "the Knife"
Amen 🙏
Amen!!!
TRUE STORY: in California
I wanted to pick up trash along a highway that is next to my community.
Well, I had already done it, but what I really wanted were the free orange trash bags so that my husband didn’t have to haul off the trash that I had already collected and bagged, and instead I could leave them on the side of the road for Caltrans. 😂
So I tried to contact someone to figure out what I needed to do to officially pick up trash.
I received a 10 paragraph letter back, with 14 attachments of forms and information . Also. told that I needed to do between two hours to one day safety training .
Sooooo you can live on the side of the feeeway in California, but you can’t pick up trash …
And they’re worried about barriers of entry to VOTE 🤣
Like Childers says, the material writes itself .
Did it require an ID? Or two? 😂
🤣
Thank you for picking up the litter. Respect for our land and country.
OMG. And I suppose you would have had to pay for your own orange safety vest and bump cap 🙄 purchased from their approved supplier who is twice as expensive as anyone else.
Actually, I did buy my own vest at husband’s insistence 😂 bless that man’s heart ! Lol
No good deed…
😂
Nik - perfect example of how truly unbelievably rotten things have become in CA! 🤬
I love California 💔 I’m channeling Jeff’s optimism!! 🙏
Wow
Good perspective by Allen West https://allenwest.substack.com/p/there-yet?r=ozwes&utm_medium=ios
Disappointing that West is now an obvious puppet of genocidal, apartheid Israel.
What a load of bullcrap he spouts.
I hope folks don't speed read today's post, because there are a lot of truisms from Jeff here. This war is grayer than gray, yet so many commenters are still in black and white mode. Nothing is what it seems, but self righteous indignation, and worse, absolutely certainty about what is really true have taken over the comments. Probably time to step back and let our own Megyns and Marks have at it, because I know enough to know I don't know squat about what is really going on now.
"...practice their Kegels." 🤣 Snort! Can they?! Most are all pretenders of many sorts.
🤣
I think the exact same thing. We just can't possibly have all the information we would need to determine what the right move was here.
I'd like to suggest you watch Prometheus Action videos on YouTube.
Their explanation of the bigger picture and the strategy that Trump is using is very encouraging.
I already do. Thanks
Great! I hope you're sharing it with other people.
Trump yesterday:

Good starting point.
Who benefits?
Wall St.
Seems like the only folks who think what 47 is doing in Iran is not working are the media, rino's, and the blue-hair Karen mob.
Who has ever evaluated the outcome of a military incursion less than 3 weeks in? These folks get on my nerves.
BTW, these democrats only care about illegal aliens; all they do is for them. Cannot wait for them to just be honest and say it.
PS: If you tired of racism and phobias, this is for you

Dig your snowshoes out of your closet, Greenland is two weeks away from having a nuclear bomb.
🤣🤣🤣 There you go again making me laugh. One minute I vehemently disagree with you then in another reply you just crack me up. 😆 too funny.
Touche.
But not snowing here and I am stubborn, I evaluate ex post facto not during.
Torrance, the goalposts have been moved time and time again. We were supposed to be in and out and have a quick regime change with the people rising up. Yet instead, Iran keeps hammering away with missiles, the strait is not open, and no end is yet in sight.
Relax. It’s been two WEEKS. And if Candace Owens is anyone’s source for anything —- well? What can I say? The woman is a Jew hating antisemite. Hers is not just an opinion.
This entire column is an opinion. At least she showed facts.
So you are saying a fascist theocratic government yelling death to Israel, death to America is just memes and soap opera while they fund Hamas and Hezbollah?
You are saying that Israel is NOT a fascist theocratic government?
You support genocide, apartheid, land thefts and corruption of OUR government?
BTW: Qatar (Iran's enemy) funds Hamas, not Iran.
Show me where Israel used firing squads to kill protesters? Iran had motor cycle riding IRGC members ride through the protesters shooting them. With 30,000 Iranians killed, that is Islamic fascist theocratic genocide. The Muslim Brotherhood, who uses Shariah law to justify terrorism, is a form of theocratic genocide. That is spilling over in the US through terrorism like that in Austin, Texas. The shooter, Ndiaga Diagne, killed two people and injured 14 others while wearing clothing with Islamic symbols, prompting an investigation into potential terrorist motives. You have everything turned around as usual.
As is her show....but hers is for clicks
Yesterday, on Candace Owen's show, she ran videos of Netanyahu from the 1996 on saying the same thing - **Iran is one week, one month, one blah, blah, away from producing a nuclear weapon.**. It was hilarious.
And TRUE. Netanyahu is the father of all LIARS... a true scumbag... a Polack claiming to be a Hebrew.
Dead now, I hope.
And Trump bought into the whole load of Bibi's BS.
True. I would even say we were never provided an accurate description of goals and aims up front. But I will refrain my judgement to proffer my evaluation when the dust settles. The position provided by media for example is suspect.
This is exactly what I needed to read today. Thank you. I could not wait for C&C to come out as I was hoping it would be the much needed balm for my soul this morning and I was not disappointed. There has been so much noise around all the conservative infighting and who's a traitor that it leaves you feeling deflated. I saw on my conservative moms board this morning that they were viciously tearing into each other and it made me sad. I didn't like or comment on anything because to be honest, I don't know the right answer here. I just don't. There's no way I could have enough geopolitical perspective to know if this invasion was right or if there are traitors among us or whatever. I just don't know. This perspective is exactly what I needed. It is a very much needed reminder that our enemies are working their hardest to sow division. Our most important job right now is to not let them. I hope everyone can take a breath and remember that.
What’s sad (and telling, frankly,) are all the posts by people who either did not read Jeff’s article thoroughly at all and came with the intention to plop down their preferred narrative, or they didn’t consider his words after reading or give it any potential credence because they are so blinded by their Israel hate and the narrative they have swallowed. I imagine crazed eyes as they reply, either that or a cha-ching as they cash their Soros check for their work to divide us despite what Jeff has laid out.
Frankly don’t read Jeff’s Substack if you don’t want a positive twist on issues because a positive upbeat “what if” or “think of it this way” is what you are going to get. If you want to argue it to death then just don’t read it and go somewhere else to read and debate the negative side of everything .. which won’t be hard to find as it’s everywhere. We here on C & C are here because we want to see the positive side and even though you have right to debate everything frickin thing Jeff says, it’s not fun to read it because it reinforces the negative which we all know. So is your goal to divide us with counter narratives which we are all aware of? We all know the opposing views but we are on C & C to hear something different to ponder.
Well said!
I played football in college and for a short time in the NFL. I heard Jerry Kramer(Guard for Green Bay Packers) say once, "Hit or get hit." I am a quick learner and I found more success on being the one giving the hit vs. on the receiving end. President Trump is being the "hitter" and avoiding being hit first. Iran will not comply with any agreement.
Exactly. That particular batch needs to be rendered incapable of attacking us. Their unwillingness cannot be relied upon.
That is retarded DS. This isn't a football game - this is people's life or death. Trump disregarded his own intel agencies and instead did the bidding of Israel, yet again, and has completely trashed MAGA to the point of no return.
Johnny-O
Your words display that of a Democrat. Name calling. If someone doesn't agree with your opinion then call them a name. Now I know what it means when others have written about trolls. I stated my opinion. You don't have to agree with it. But don't get into the name-calling if you don't agree with someone else. I respect your opinion. I am asking you to respect mine.
Yeah, that'd be the explanation for why even Joe Kent back in 2020 told Trump how dangerous Iran was and especially why other presidents were too chicken to stop Iran. And why Trump has been saying the same thing about Iran for about 38 years now. Because Israel.
I am a firm MAGA though I wish Trump would say out loud at some point that the covid jabs are poison. I have hope that one day it will happen.
I share that thought. I wonder why he doesn't. He is way too smart not to have noticed the significant damage that it's been doing to people...the injuries, the deaths. So I believe something bigger is at play here.
I think he knows, but he seems constitutionally unable to admit when he makes a mistake.
Appointing Bobby Kennedy as head of HHS is massive atonement, imo.
Mrs. RW
True, that's as much of an admission in and of itself isn't it? Just putting him in his role made a huge statement about how Trump really feels.
If he did say that he’d get sued. So let it play out which it is doing now with RFK in charge and with Marty Mckary. Sit tight.
This is speculation but I wonder, given how good he is at convincing people to make deals that redound to him and his agenda, if the reason he has not yet publicly denounced the shots has given him the space to make other things happen like the most favored nation drug pricing or getting some vaccines off the childhood schedule. Since he, more than Democrats will ever know, is aware that he's not King, he has to play his cards deftly and make the most of them. ?????
yes! That is what I think as well. There's a bigger picture here we are not seeing. I've been watching him work for several years now (mostly thanks to C&C for helping me see it!) and in connecting the dots you see how genius many of his chess moves are. Once you start seeing what he's doing then it seems very plausible he's got a plan here too. Look at how much he was howling about the supremes canceling his tariff dashboard. Meanwhile he had a plan for that the whole time. But he needs his enemies to think he's truly upset about it.
Exactly right on the nose. They can say what they want but Trump is always 10 steps ahead and what they say is chaos, turns out to be the next big win. 🏅
Jen, he can’t say the jab was a disaster. He touted it for so long and it was like the emperor had no clothes and nobody would tell him. Btw, I’m maga all the way
Because it was a Pentagon and Darpa initiative. Horrible.
I hold onto my key values no matter what propaganda our rulers are spewing.
We are a quarter of a century into the 21st century, and the US has attacked 10 countries (or more) since it started, using a different excuse each time. "Terrorism, WMD, killing their own people, drug lords, unprovoked invasion (oh, the irony of that one!, and stopping a nuclear weapon." I may have forgotten some of the slogans.
I don't have to parse each excuse to reject the immorality of attacking another country, destroying their infrastructure, killing their children, and stealing their resources.
It's just wrong on a fundamental level. If we wouldn't do it as individuals, what makes it OK as a country? Nothing, that's what. I don't kill or steal or destroy my neighbor's property, I don't want my country doing it either, and I sure reject the group think of patriotism and the cries of "Traitor!" if I hold onto morals.
Mrs. RW
Good points, but suppose your neighbor moved in and kidnapped your kids (but gave them back after a year), set a bomb off at the local school, killed several police officers over the course of years, financed violent local drug gangs, and was trying to get nuclear powered robot attack dogs? Would you consider taking violent action to free your neighborhood of this menace?
In America, we have police and courts to deal with neighbors like that. Wells Fargo no longer has to have guards with shotguns riding along with their delivery coaches, the way they used to.
I get your point, but you are assuming that your rulers are not lying to you, which is a very naive assumption.
Plus, you are assuming that the US has the right to go around the world, nowhere near our neighborhood, and attack other people, kill their kids, bomb their police stations, finance, arm and train violent terrorists to attack them, and use depleted uranium on them, poisoning them and their children for many generations.
Everything you said is what the US does. No one so far has been brave enough to take on the US, so we get away with it. But Iran has no more f**ks to give and they are fighting back.
Mrs. RW
Or kept you under apartheid... committed mass murder of over 300,000 innocents... stole most of your lands...
I forgot ''women's rights". How could I forget that?
Won't someone please think of the women?
Mrs. RW
I'd like to suggest you check out Prometheus Action Update on YouTube. Their explanation of the geopolitical moves that Trump is achieving is very encouraging.
That Senators aren’t motivated to pass the Save America Act by fear of what an angry and hostile American public will do to them if they don’t secure fair and legal elections is the real story here. We the People get the government we deserve. Clearly, Senators don’t fear, nor respect, the voting public and are acting as if they can continue to cheat with no consequences. They cheat, they know we know they cheat, they lie about cheating and they know we know they lie about it. Yet they still do it. Whether or not this Act passes is a defining moment in American history.
I wonder what the people of Alaska think about their senator Murkowski? Just typing her name makes me feel ill.
Alaska put in "Ranked Choice Voting" - more like rank, as in smelly - which explains Murkowski
https://apnews.com/article/alaska-ranked-choice-voting-5ae6c163af2f8a70a8f90928267c4086
So right!
I feel the same Margot.
And yet, time and time again we fail to vote these politicians out of office, so no wonder they do not have any respect for their constituents. We have a nursing home full of politicians that only represent their interests and corporate lobbyists.
We may have in fact voted some of these out of office… but how would we know if the elections have been manipulated via electronic voting machine “adjustments” and fraudulent mail in ballots made possible by dirty voter rolls?
The thing about electronic voting is that they rely on programming an application and anything with programming can be manipulated to produce whatever results you want. Even with paper ballots fed through, how do you know it’s correct without a count of the ballots? You don’t.
We should have paper ballots that are counted physically, if only to confirm an electronic count. 1 day only. Non of this mail in crap (other than limited circumstances and requested for each election) and no early voting.
AND election polling places and vote counting should be a patriotic duty, like Jury Duty. Random selection. None of this partisan, political machine nonsense that allows them to manipulate counts and bring in mass ballot dumps. We need honest, everyday Americans to take part in the process and hold the process accountable.
My husband, (Mr. RW) put in a 13 hour shift last election day, to hold them accountable. I'm not sure that him physically being there did much, but I'm proud of him for doing it.
Mrs. RW
I participated in my county's post-election board a couple of times. We (representatives of each party on the ballot) had a one day training, and then did a physical ballot count of ballot lots that had been pulled and sealed on election day. There were sealed lots of mail in ballots, as well.
They always matched, the hand count and the tally. There are- or, were, don't know about now- systems that function(ed) seemingly well. My experience was in the 2000's. Could have been garbage then, could be garbage now.
I heard a commentator on a radio show say 94% of all sitting politicians get re-elected.no change means no change. Term limits should be part of the SAVE act.
Absolutely! But they won’t end their grift. This would probably have to be done in a constitutional referendum ballot initiative. And congressional pensions and continued perks should be eliminated. As should insider trading. And Cadillac medical coverage.
Wasn’t it RINO Collins that said she was going to quit after 2 terms? She lied. Too many benefits and financial gains for people that remain in office.
Another thing I would love to see is NO dual citizenships for anyone running for office in the US. From mayor on up!
Antisemitic!!
;-)
How can we when there is cheating!?!?
When Senators and Congress people get favorable legislation passed, bring grants/money back to their states, voters tend to forgive or at least overlook.
Not at all surprised Al Jazeera is a more reliable source than our MSM. I have used them in the past, though not lately. I routinely go to RT, and in the past, Iran's Press TV. This goes back 15 years at least. Few people in this country realize just how unfree the US MSM has been for a long time, not just since covid. For anyone ho has read the must read "Diary of an Economic Hitman", John Perkins finds out , much to his surprise, that Indians in downtown nowhere in the Amazon, and students in Indonesians in Java, knew more about what really happened on 9/11 than Americans.
Alternative media is getting stronger every day now. One I like for Iran news is Tousi.tv on utube he covers some other things/areas, but mostly Iran. Al Jazeera has it's uses as well.
I do miss the ease of just flipping a channel and getting "all the most important news bits" before we realized just how corrupt the western media had become; but then, if something is worth having, it's worth working for it.
Great book (hitman)
You are so right. I follow ‘Intel Slava’ on Telegram and it’s amazing how current and accurate that information is regarding both wars: Ukraine/Russia and USA-Israel/Iran. It’s a good source…but hard to keep up with all the postings.
They know about what really happened on 9/11?
https://www.unz.com/article/israel-did-9-11/
We know for certain what did not happen, don't we?
Indeed.
And we likely will never see a "do-over" on the insanely corrupt and laughable "911 Commission"... OR the Trump-promised files.
Exposing Mossad guilt is forbidden these days. Or anything zionist, like the unredacted Epstein files or the CIA/Mossad's JFK hit.
I still have faith on a Zionist reveal, because without it, everything else positive that has and is being done is for naught.
To wit about Jeff's oh so correct "watch what Trump does, not what he says". this article details the genius of Trump is being unreadable. I am not a poker player , but I know the thing professionals hate most is being with a newbie at the table, because since the newbie doesn't know what they are doing, there is no way to read them.

Thanks for the link! Big fan of Laura Aboli.
So grateful to get to come to this amazing C & C space for hope, humor, and truth. What a gift.
Murkowski is the top reason that I no longer donate to the National Republican Senatorial Committee. If you do give them money, you are helping them protect the RINO's.
I am so embarrassed to have her as a Senator from my state🥺
Yup, same here. I’ve emailed her almost every day. I received ONE disgusting BS reply where she cherry picks her decisions and supports her own stupid agenda, which is NOT the agenda that’s best for the country or our beautiful state of Alaska. Shame on her. Her statement that the SAVE America Act would disenfranchise the majority of this state is simply false. The majority of our state lives in Anchorage, and those in rural areas have easy access to voting. Native papers serve as proof of citizenship, and they vote in their villages (otherwise she would not be in office, between the native population she makes empty promises to, who actually wrote her in when she lost the primary, and the democrats who put her as their 2nd choice, hence giving her the seat over Kelly Tschibaka last time). Hopefully we get rid of her in 2028 and we can keep Sullivan this year… he may not be perfect but he’s not Mary Peltola… UGH!. Jan in Alaska
💯
The apple sure didn’t fall far from daddy’s tree there.
What's a Republican?
TAW.
That's all we need to know.
Keep telling yourself that Dave. Why are we bringing in more assets and troops if we are winning so hard?
And begging other countries to join our “not-a-war”?
Because they need to take responsibility for the safety of their regions.
..and Jeff is always right !!!! He calls it out as it always turns out to be.
LOL!!
🎯
Agree
So disappointed you can’t see the Israeli elephant in the room for what it is, an exploiter and subversive influence solely concerned with themselves. Shockingly all the tropes from the past are proving correct. And how do you ignore the baby sacrifice Epstein emails? Doesn’t matter if it’s the R’s or D’s, their tentacles are entrenched. Trump made a terrible error in attacking Iran. He betrayed us for the little hats that surround him.
Trump didn't betray me. This is exactly what I voted for.
Me too. Meagan Kelly there. Ha.
We can argue until the cows come home whether the US is Israel's puppet or vice versa. But it is Iran who has yoked, apparently successfully, Israel and the US. For 47 years.
When did Iran attack the US? Through proxy groups, sure, but that is the exact same thing the US has done for decades, as well as outright wars and ground assaults in the middle east. But yeah, they are the threat. Put yourself in their shoes.
I cannot put myself in their shoes. My mind does not work like that. And to be clear I am referencing the Ayatollahs and their rabid brethren. And proxies. But it is disingenuous, very, very, very disingenuous, to act as if an attack by a proxy is just water under the bridge. That being said I absolutely think that much was done post-WWII by so-called "intelligence" agencies that has been very detrimental to the US' standing and reputation. I just do not deceive myself that those who use that excuse to justify asymmetrical hostilities (terrorism) are ethical. That is just a race to the bottom.
Who is terrorizing who? Has Iran attacked the US? Has Iran built bases all around our country? Has Iran assassinated leaders of ours and high military officials? Did they attack us in the middle of negotiations (which is a war crime)? Would Iran have ever attacked any US assets if we weren't spread all over the globe? Why does the US support despots all over the Middle East, but at the same time say we can't allow similar despots in a country like Iran?
This is just silly. US bases around the world are built by agreement with sovereign nations. Attacks on US bases are attacks on the US. And there have been many by Iran. Your position would give Iran what it wants - complete control of the Middle East. Iran has placed bounties on and threatened the lives of several US officials. And it routinely threatens Iranians living abroad. The US Commander-in-Chief gave Iran a deadline. It was ignored. Additionally, back to my comment that started your foolishness Israel was going to act, whether we wanted it to or not. Because IRAN VIEWS THE US AND ISRAEL AS A COMMON ENEMY, and has repeatedly attacked the US in the past it was logical tp assume it would retaliate once again against the US. Hell it is retaliating against all Middle East nations which do not tow its radical party line. How you continue to try to justify this is beyond me. Lastly that war crime thing is indeed rich. There is no longer any concept of civilized war. Largely because of Iran's asymmetrical acts. Civilized war which recognizes the existence of "war crimes" is based on symmetrical conflict. What Iran, under the Ayatollahs, does is just plain old common terrorism. Their goal is nuclear terrorism. And all of this, combined with the Free Palestine BS, is rapidly eroding regard for fledgling "international law".
Pro tip- don't waste your time regurgitating permanent state propaganda. I don't waste my time reading it. I've heard it all for decades, and yet, the evil Iranians still haven't wiped anyone off the map. The US supports and has developed literal terrorist groups. You need to do some homework/learn some history.
There is a great video that has clips, news clips since 1979 of all the Americans Iran has killed, taken hostage, blown up. Maybe you should watch it.
You have to understand, Lynne.
Johnny Zero is a Muslim and he and his cronies always come here to attack Muh Israel/Jews. They are all Trojan Horses.
Not sure why people feed the trolls here CStone. Maybe they don't pay close enough attention to patterns of commentors. There are a handful that I pass by and I see that mostly others do the same. Learning curve I guess.
You are in for a big shocker then when we refuse to vote. We, who are sick of ALL the lies, see clearly. And I am a born again Christian. Our government is in the business of lying to its citizens. We are done.
So you are going to join the group of 8 million Jews in New York City who didn’t vote and now have a Muslim mayor?
I’m going to edit and say that I do not believe in voting we have a voice. That is why we are trying to change it.
I know a lot of born-again Christians who refuse to vote, since forever.
As a matter of fact, that is who Trump was talking to when he called on them to "Just vote this one time and you'll never have to do it again", which statement the Dems turned into a "He said that he will stop future elections" claim.
No, they are lying. Again.
Mrs. RW
You are aligned with allies of al Qaeda. Bloomberg reports "The US has encouraged Syria to consider sending forces into eastern Lebanon to help disarm Hezbollah, ...". The people we have been told are responsible for 9/11 control Syria. Iran/Hezbollah have yet to attack the US.
That absolutely blows my mind that people who have been conditioned for 25 years to hate al Qadea have no problem with an al Qaeda leader running Syria!
What the actual? People who profess to be Christian, and can easily be worked up to rage over Nigeria, have no problem with Christians in Syria being wiped out?
No problem with al Julani being feted at the White House?
It shows the power of the media, imo. Or maybe the cult.

I've come to the conclusion many C & C commenters drink a lot of coffee, and the coffee is made with heavily fluoridated water. ☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️

Do you ever suffer oxygen deprivation in that lofty perch you inhabit?
This reminds me of a quote from Downton Abbey when the Dowager Countess (Maggie Smith) asked Isobel “Does it ever get cold on that moral high ground?” 😍
Feel free to knock me off the perch you perceive I inhabit. I assume that means you think I'm wrong about something. If I am I want to be enlightened.
There have been Christians in Syria since Paul converted on the road to Damascus.
There is a town called Maaloula that still speaks Aramaic, the language of Jesus.
I'm not sure if they have been wiped out now, though. They were attacked by US-sponsored terrorists back in 2014, then the Syrians and Russians rescued them, but now?
I don't know.
Mrs. RW
I am not. Although I acknowledge that the US government has made strange alliances in the Middle East (and elsewhere) and I question the wisdom thereof. The enemy of my enemy is my friend thing rings hollow to me. Iran, through its proxies have attacked US bases, ships for years.
Why 47 years?
You know why. But for the benefit of any who genuinely may not, because that was the first Ayatollah's slogan during the revolution and it continues to this day. When somebody or some entity shows you who they are or it is believe it. https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2015/9/20/who-is-the-great-satan
That number is what is repeated constantly in the media.
Paging the Federal Reserve Act.
Can you explain what you mean----that "Iran has yoked apparently successfully, Israel and U.S." How do you mean?
All of my adult life the Ayatollah and his regime have called the US "the Great Satan" and Israel " the Little Satan". What do you think that means?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Satan
And we have somehow survived decades as a country without being attacked despite all these big bad words. How ever did we manage?
I remember as a child, of having the drills to hide under our desks, because... the big, bad Soviets were going to nuke us. I always wondered how my desk would help me??? Because of that Cold War that we had to be constantly fear mongered with, came all the subsequent lies about how we were beating the Russians. The USSR sent the first astronaut up and man....what a load of horse manure followed. Sure, we landed on the moon! Take that USSR! Sure we did. In '69 and we can't get there in 2026 apparently.
I remeber well. I grew up in their third target city. But this is apples and oranges. The USSR had a standing military force. Conflict with them would have involved symmetrical warfare. They recognized rules of engagement and were not motivated by martyrdom.
We have survived as a nation. But too many have died and been injured at their hands. I am glad to have a Commander-in-Chief who sees them as they are.
Johnny zero is pro Islam.
I think there were reasons the Ayatollah was calling the US "the Great Satan.
And you are entitled to your opinion. Mine is that anyone who references my country as "the Great Satan" is my enemy and the enemy of my country. And I think the concept of civilized warfare is a joke. A very bad joke. It was rendered a mockery by the Ayatollahs and their never ending campaign(s) of terror.
Lynne, in the past 50 years, what country has killed, maimed, and displaced more citizens (by far) than any other country? I'll give you a hint - it isn't Iran.
So you see “reasons” for Iran’s words and actions, but not Israel’s? Not us? You grant Iran deference but not US or Israel? Odd
Every country has sins.
Look, Israel right or wrong will always be around and always trying to do what is best for their country from their perspective, right or wrong from the world at large perspective. I don't trust Bibi and his admin but it is what it is. God has Israel's back (at least the citizens, not sure about Bibi and his admin) so we might as well get used to it. If you read Revelation, the Jews play a very key piece at end times. It is all unfolding precisely how it always was meant to play out as we head closer to end times. And we ain't seen nothing yet. Just read the Old Testament in full to show the power of God the Father's wrath. God has the last word on all this and so be it.
Revelation warns that there is no place to hide for Jews during the tribulation. **Woe to woman who is pregnant.** Israel turned to other gods and goals all through the OT. God has turned his face for their rejection. Israel was only ever to look for God for its protection, no other entity. They pay the price. In Daniel, there is a very clear indication THE being called anti-Christ is a jew. Of course they are anti-Christ, no? Anyone who reject's God's plan for human salvation of saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, has the spirit of anti-Christ. God is indeed full of wrath. Watch it play out.
I couldn't let this one pass and to be clear, I'm hard right wing (far to the right of Trump) and frequently criticize the administration. It seems you're not aware that many, if not most of those 3 million Epstein files are just raw FBI data. Meaning, schizo insane guy contacts the FBI that he has information about babies being cannibalized on Epstein Island so FBI (as required) takes down what he says. There's a file. They know he's crazy but they have to note it anyway. You're taking that 'information' to be a real thing which obviously it's not. You need to have discernment and employ critical thinking at all times. Don't be like the lunatic whose files you're reading.
You don't know that they are only sitting on non-pertinent info. I would be shocked if there aren't some highly compromising files they still have.
I’m talking about THEIR email correspondence with each other. THEIR words, not from a tip line my guy.
There is NO 2-way correspondence (email) in the Epstein files mentioning (even just mentioning) baby sacrifice. Are you a Candace Owens fan?

"Hi Rich,
Jeffrey is asking if you can Fedex the painting he had made of the Massacre of the Innocents to the ranch. It's the large 9'x9' canvas that we had rolled out for him to see in the entry way where they are killing babies. He wants to use it on the ranch and is hoping you could Fedex it to arrive by Wednesday?
Thanks.sarah"
Yeah piece of classical art titled 'the Massacre of the Innocents' depicting King Herod killing all two years and younger male babies in Bethlehem.
Try again
Oh. Herod the Jewish governor was also killing babies too. You’re right.
Roosters have such little brains that dissecting their head to find one you end up seeing their egg rejection system!
Hey, I have a rooster named George. He is a handsome guy and is quite astute. Please don't diss the roosters!
I had three roosters. Two were nice and the little red one we named Asama Bin Rooster
Always the Joooooos. Get help, and don’t put it off.
I cannot agree with your statement. It is limiting Trump’s actions to your perception. A bigger picture is to keep your friends close, enemies closer. I cannot think that Trump does not know who and what the Israeli government is. Strategically, it is to eliminate one enemy at a time. Iran has been a festering wound for decades. If we keep the policy of non-interference, then that wound turns into a Mersa infection. The problem with Mersa, is it can become systemic infecting the whole body. We can see Iran’s influence in many different countries. And their deeds are not magnanimous; rather nefarious. Trump ripped the bandage off and is cleaning the festering wound. We are preparing for the Golden Age. Do you think these countries can do this by themselves? How can World Peace be achieved when there are strangleholds on the populations of the world? I am for the routing out of the existing evil structures. Only then can the wound heal.
I love Jeff and the C&C blog/community for the most part. His stance on Israel has me scratching my head tho fr. He's either not as intelligent as I thought (doubtful), he's a communized “Judeo-Christian” boomer (e.g. mass MK Ultra manufactured Z1onist), or he's part of a Psyop/military operation to keep up the ruse during Tel Aviv’s annihilation looking like we are BFFs with Israel. Fog of war?
Wow all potential insults. Not one option for “he might be right” because hey, it’s still possible. But you won’t acknowledge that. And that was wrapped in “I love Jeff and C&C…but”
Juju, that reminds me of the saying “Anything after “BUT…” is bull 💩.
That was freaking wild!
Cry me a river, NPC
Aw he signed his comment with his identity “NPC”. How cute! Thanks for making it easy to spot
Tucker didn’t see it for years, which also baffled me. But now he does.
What seems to work well is when I read something or hear something that raises a flag, I simply look to see if they’re a chosen person. It’s shocking how often that turns out to be so. If they were Chinese or Mormon or apart of an identifiable group, I’d say it the same.
Tucker and Trump spent a lot of time together during the so-called Biden years… I’m contending toward “all the world's a stage”.
There doesn't have to be a secret reason or an ulterior motive to hold an opinion.
Mrs. RW
Shhhh 🤫
You made an error is attacking President Trump.
Exactly. No email correspondence between him and any of these evil people.
Horrible error. The worst of errors. No bigger error has ever been make.
That made me laugh out loud, rooster. Thanks.
